I have played most of what is sitting below, and a few of these still live rent free in my head. This week's spread is less about filler and more about games that either defined a genre or quietly perfected it. If your backlog is already judging you, add two more and call it character building.

This Day in Gaming 🎂

In retro news, I'm celebrating the 13th birthday of the PlayStation Vita. Though its life cycle wasn't one of roaring success, I still have a soft spot in my heart for its gorgeous OLED screen, impressive tech specs and games like Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Gravity Rush, and Hotline Miami.

Aussie birthdays for notable games.

- Tetris (NES) 1990. Redux

- Super Street Fighter II Turbo (ARC) 1994. Get

- Grandia II (DC) 2001. Get

- Supreme Commander (PC) 2007. Get

- PlayStation Vita launch, 2012. eBay

- Catherine (PS3,X360) 2012. Redux

- Radiant Historia (3DS) 2018. eBay

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch

• Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds (-40%) - A$50.90 Fast, colourful kart chaos with Sega fan service everywhere. Handling takes a minute to click, but once it does the shortcuts and drift boosts feel earned rather than random.
• Super Mario RPG (-38%) - A$49.90 A charming remake of a quietly odd Mario spin off. The timed hits keep combat engaging, even if it is breezy by modern RPG standards.
• Rayman Legends Def. (-67%) - A$19.90 Still one of the best 2D platformers ever made. Tight controls, absurd creativity, and music levels that feel like playable cartoons.
• NBA 2K26 (-67%) - A$29.90 Slick on court presentation and deep modes, even if the microtransaction pressure never fully leaves the building.
• Dead Cells (-50%) - A$18.70 A brutally efficient roguelite that rewards smart aggression. Runs are quick, builds are flexible, and it still finds ways to surprise.

Or gift a Nintendo eShop Card.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox

• Resident Evil 4 (-42%) - A$34.90 A confident remake that sharpens combat without losing the original's camp edge. Parrying alone makes it worth revisiting.
• Red Dead Redemption 2 (-68%) - A$29 A slow burn western obsessed with detail. The pacing demands patience, but the world building is still unmatched.
• Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (-49%) - A$36.60 Systems driven stealth at its peak. The story wobbles late, but the sandbox freedom is still absurdly good.
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate (-75%) - A$11.20 A punchy roguelike spin on the Turtles. Co op shines, solo is tougher, but at this price it is easy to recommend.

Or just invest in an Xbox Card.

Pure Scores for PlayStation

• Death Stranding 2 (-21%) - A$99 Kojima doubling down on strange ideas and long walks. Not for everyone, but undeniably singular.
• Dead Space (-73%) - A$29.90 A remake that respects the original's dread. Audio design does half the work, and it still gets under your skin.
• Elden Ring (-45%) - A$54.90 Vast, punishing, and strangely inviting. Exploration feels self directed, even when the bosses absolutely flatten you.
• Tekken 8 (-48%) - A$44 Flashy, aggressive, and mechanically dense. The new Heat system rewards confidence, but button mashers will be exposed quickly.
• The Last of Us Part I (-36%) - A$79.90 A technical overhaul of a modern classic. Still emotionally heavy, still deliberate, and still worth revisiting.

PS4

• Dragon Ball FighterZ (-61%) - A$38.60 Arc System Works turning anime chaos into tight competitive combat. Accessible early, brutally technical later.
• Assassin's Creed Odyssey (-50%) - A$49.40 A massive Greek playground with more quests than restraint. Great if you want value, less so if you crave brevity.
• Neo: The World Ends With You (-57%) - A$39 Stylish, frantic combat wrapped in sharp writing. The systems take time to click, but the vibe carries it.

Or purchase a PS Store Card.

Purchase Cheap for PC

• Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 (-67%) - A$29.60 Loud, weighty third person action that understands scale. Narrative is pure pulp, but the combat spectacle delivers.
• Outer Wilds (-50%) - A$18.40 A time loop mystery built on curiosity. No hand holding, just smart design and genuine discovery.
• Neon White (-60%) - A$14.60 Speedrunning as a first person shooter puzzle. Messy dialogue aside, the flow state is undeniable.
• Persona 5 Royal (-73%) - A$26.10 Stylish turn based combat and social sim depth that eats your calendar. Long, yes, but rarely dull.
• Hades (-65%) - A$12.70 Combat that feels immediate and writing that never wastes a line. Still the roguelike most others chase.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS ‘Resolute Raccoon’ will use OpenJDK 25 as its default Java version. An expected change as OpenJDK 25 is a long-term support release, as Ubuntu 26.04 is, the bump brings various feature and performance improvements to developers over OpenJDK 21, the default version used in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS through 25.10. On Ubuntu, Java isn’t installed out of the box, but when you install default-jdk or default-jre (directly or indirectly as a dependency needed by other software) those meta-packages point to whichever OpenJDK version Canonical has blessed as current. In Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, that will be OpenJDK 25. Version 25 of OpenJDK, the […]
