This Day in Gaming 🎂In retro news, I’m celebrating the 22nd birthday of Resident Evil Zero, arguably the most why-haven’t-they-remade-this entries in the franchise. “S.T.A.R.S.-ing” Bravo Team member Rebecca Chambers and convict Billy Coen, an unlikely duo riding the rails to one of Umbrella’s worst B&Bs, Zero was all about unique protagonist abilities and a hot-swap mechanic. I have fond memories of belting out the Leech Hunter mini-game in the original, not to mention the Wesker Mode injected into the 2016 HD Remaster. I’d kill to see this on the RE Engine.

NintendoPCXboxPlayStationLEGONice Savings for Nintendo Switch
Starting the deals strong on the Nintendo Switch, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a ridiculous mashup that almost didn’t happen (Miyamoto himself had to approve Ubisoft’s out-there-as-hell idea of strapping Mario with blasters). Also, The Outer Worlds delivers witty space-faring adventure from the folks who gave us Fallout: New Vegas, complete with a satirical take on corporate-controlled planets that I simply adored.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
You’re in for a surprise: even for XCOM vets some of these battles are challenging puzzles. Some of the tougher levels do devolve into a trial-and-error slog, but a good mix of enemies, objectives, and character abilities keep things interesting.

Purchase Cheap for PC
Meanwhile on PC, it’s freebie paradise (if you make a Prime Gaming account). The cult classic Deus Ex: Human Revolution is yours for nothing, featuring cyberpunk conspiracies and one of gaming’s best “punch through walls” mechanics. Meanwhile, Mages of Mystralia—also free!—boasts a magic system so flexible, even its developers had to ban certain spell combos for being too OP.
Star Wars Outlaws
A clever syndicate system brings real weight to almost every task you choose, some of which conjure up some genuinely stunning blindsides. Having a pal like Nix at your side adds an enhanced set of useful abilities too.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
You Xbox Series X faithful can dive into the timeless masterpiece The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and experience the game that made Henry Cavill geek out enough to land a Netflix role. If you prefer (admittedly imperfect) over-the-top chaos, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League lets you unleash mayhem in Metropolis with a surprising Batman: Arkham universe connection.
Witcher 3 Complete Ed.
It’s basically one of the best RPGs of all time improved in many ways. Oh, and all of the DLC, which were meaty enough to have been sold as standalone content in their own right.

Pure Scores for PlayStation
Finally, for PlayStation 5, God of War Ragnarök packs an emotional punch—Christopher Judge’s powerful performance as Kratos even won him the longest Game Awards speech in history. And if swinging through New York is more your speed, Spidey: Miles Morales offers wintertime web-slinging and a jazz-infused soundtrack that’s as stylish as its hero.
God of War Ragnarök
An enthralling spectacle to behold and an even more exciting one to take the reins of, God of War Ragnarok melds action and adventure together to create a new, unforgettable Norse saga.
