AU Deals: A Freebie Arkane Studios Definitive, 90% off Some FPS Greats, Dragged Down Dogma 2, and More!

Thank your own personal deity—possibly Morninglord—it's Friday. I'll be honest with you, it's been a bloody awful week for me, but I know I can find quick respite in a big stash of games to play (and the deep satisfaction of finding discounts for you). In case I don't see you, stay safe, save often, and catch you Monday.

In retro news, I'm celebrating the 28th birthday of what was once called "The Sonic's Ass Game," Crash Bandicoot. I have crystal clear memories of chasing its white "100% gems" at a mate's place as we swore our way through especially fiendish levels like Sunset Vista and Slippery Climb. Visually, this was also seen as a stunner for '96 with its "Tazmanian Devil cartoon come to life" chic. If you want to get your butt handed to you, old school style, the platforming here is timeless and got spit-shined well in 2017's N. Sane Trilogy.

EA Sports F1 24 - $109.95 / $59.95

Sadly, I'm not rich or connected enough to have the TV needed to test out the biggest addition here: 8K at 60 fps. Mind you, it was hard to feel miffed with the results of an upgraded "Quality" mode with on-track, PSSR-based ray tracing running at 4K/60Hz, plus a Performance mode at double the pixel count of base PS5 at 4K/120Hz. This entry in the list is a true jewel in the PS5 Pro, best seen in wowfactor improvements like new on-track shader response with superior rain VFX, pit lanes lined with reflective glass (not to mention impact reflections from glass and puddles, too). Currently, this is in the pole position for most impressive Pro Enhancements.
