I have a dangerous habit of replaying favourites instead of starting something new, so a deals list like this is usually what finally pushes me over the line. I have played the overwhelming majority of these, argued about the rest, and regretted paying full price for at least two of them in the past.

This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I am lighting a 38-candle cake for Punch-Out!!, an absolute knockout of a NES classic. I was there in 1987, controller clenched, staring up at those towering sprites through Little Mac's gloves, trying to read tells and rhythms like it was a real fight tape. Punch-Out did not feel like a sports sim at all. It was a puzzlefest that happened to go upside your thinkin’ machine if you got it wrong.

What made this magic was how readable and human it felt. Every opponent was a personality, not just a stat sheet, from Glass Joe's tragic fragility to Bald Bull's screen-shaking charge. The star punch system rewarded patience and pattern recognition, and it’s still the most satisfying uppercut in gaming this side of Mortal Kombat’s D+HP. Lastly, beating Iron Mike Tyson in the endgame made you a schoolyard legend. Can confirm.

Aussie birthdays for notable games.

, I'm getting festive with the LEGO section. In Mathew Manor, my sons and I are again racing this year's batch of LEGO Advent Calendars. Basically, we open the City, Harry Potter, Minecraft, and Star Wars on the daily and compare the mini-prizes for "Awesomeness" and "Actual Xmas-ness". 2024's winner was the Lego Marvel one, but, weirdly, there's no 2025 equivalent. So it's anybody's race this year.

Here are the cheapest prices for the four calendars we're using. Score them yourself or just live vicariously through our unboxings.
