If you’ve been hanging for a bargain on some long-form gaming, today’s your lucky day. I’m tracking a ton of discounts on quality RPG titles, many of them are Bethesda-produced, but there are also some AAAs from other outfits that were released quite recently. Anyway, enough talk. Let’s get to saving…

In retro news, I’m taking aim at Duck Hunt, the quintessential light gun game that’s having its 37th birthday today. I have crystal clear memories of my first time playing this and thinking, “Whaaa? There’s a bright orange ray gun that can kill the things living in my TV?” That felt like voodoo magic to an ’80s kid. Better yet, the NES Zapper had this ker-chunking trigger retort, too; satisfying, despite also coming with a side order of guilt for having murdered another Donald.
