Let’s kick off another week of bargain hunting for bangers. Today’s all about Rockstar must-owns that are nearly half-off, Assassin’s Creeds that are exactly half-off, and multiple reduced entrypoints into Elden Ring. The shadow of that Erdtree DLC is getting closer. You need to be levelled up (considerably) and ready for some serious pain. So get on the grind.

In retro news, I’m celebrating the 14th birthday of Guitar Hero: Metallica, an S-ranker of that franchise. Before the series devolved into the nonsense of Warriors of Rock or the “microtransacted songs you don’t actually own” grift of Guitar Hero Live, the 7th installment was dedicated to one of the greatest bands of all-time. I still have fond memories of tackling Expert+ drums with an extra pedal bought for purpose, a weirdly cartoony campaign, and 28 master tracks with a great ratio of peak ‘Tallica to inspo from other metal legends.
