AU Deals: A Mario for Only 64 Coins, Reduced DualSenses, Split Fiction, Kingdom Come 2, and More!

Crack open the piggy bank and stretch those thumbs because today’s bargains are banger-tastic. From high-speed karting to gritty sci-fi sagas, there’s something for every aficionado, and some of the prices are frankly outrageous (in a good way).

This Day in Gaming ????

In retro news, I'm celebrating the 17th birthday of Professor Layton and the Curious Village. I still have vivid memories of this head-scratching puzzler making me feel dumber than usual. The premise itself was elegantly simple, mind you: Professor Layton and his young assistant Luke are summoned to solve the mystery of a hidden inheritance. But the narrative beyond was interwoven with over 130 logic teasers and sliding block conundrums dispensed by the town’s quirky residents. Worth a replay (but have Google on hand).

Over on Xbox Series X, GTA V hits its lowest price ever at just A$25. Nearly a dozen years in, Rockstar still drops fresh content into Los Santos like it's a live soap opera.

Purchase Cheap for PC

PC players get spoiled too: Inside is going for a jaw-dropping A$3. A haunting platformer by the folks behind Limbo, it’s said the developers scrapped over 70 prototype ideas before locking in its eerie minimalist aesthetic. And for those who prefer stylish demon-smashing, the Devil May Cry Franchise Pack is slashing prices by 71%. Fun fact: Dante was originally meant to be a sci-fi cyborg named “Tony Redgrave”. Bullet dodged.
