Thank your own personal deitypossibly Kratosits Friday! Even though its Autumn for Aussies, its time to spring into ludicrous Spring Sale savings on Steam. If the picks of that litter dont interest you, Ive sniffed out console-based bargains on grand adventures, pulse-pounding action, or quirky indie gems; theres a little something for everyone.This Day in Gaming In retro news, I'm (somehow) celebrating the 23rd birthday of the OG Xbox, a console that blew my mind at launch (even though I was happily married to a PS2). This was the chunky vehicle that brought Microsoft into the console gaming world. And while it didn't have the prettiest design or the greatest library of games, it gave us two important contributions to gaming: Halo and Xbox Live.While some N64 enthusiasts may argue that GoldenEye paved the way for quality console first-person shooters, it was Halo that revolutionised the genre. Almost every FPS that came after Halo utilised its control scheme and a modified version of its health system. But where Halo truly succeeded was in providing console gamers with the first-of-its-kind 16-player LAN battles. This was the first shooter that made my PC gaming mates jealous, and I still own and adore my Limited Edition Crystal Xbox. Even though ants once tried to take it over and turn it into a very expensive vivarium.Two notes: yes "The Duke" controller felt that big. But no, it had a longer cable.Aussie bdays for notable games- Mortal Kombat Trilogy (N64) 1997.

Thats a pittance for one of the best action RPGs in ages, with its deep pawn system that lets AI companions learn from your tactics. Meanwhile, a 36 buck Octopath Traveler delivers an old-school JRPG experience with a modern HD-2D glow-up that Square Enix has since turned into a signature visual style.West of LoathingLook, I get it.
