Today I’m all about bang-for-your-buck bundle deals. Because why spend heaps on a hot and current AAA when you can score a low-cost cluster of classics? A Sega Mega Drive Collection, a gaggle of Trines, three Batman games actually worth giving a damn about, every Expanded Universe Star Wars game under the sun—these are the smart plays, my friend.

In retro news, I’m celebrating the 16th birthday of Army of Two. It’s a now extinct co-op shooter that made scary face masks + warfighters cool before Modern Warfare 2‘s ‘Ghost’ was even a twinkle in Infinity Ward’s eye. AoT managed to belt out a three game run and almost a Michael Mann written and directed movie, then it all went FUBAR. Would play a remaster of these, EA.
