Boxing Day sales are usually loud, hyped and full of quote-unquote discounts that look better than they appear, so I'm being deliberately picky this time. I ignored the filler, skipped the ever-present lag pitfalls, and pulled out a few bargains that are truly worth checking out on consoles and PC. These are games that I would recommend to my friends with little to no reservations because the price is right and the experience is still the same.

Celebrating my 26th birthday in retro news Turok: Fury of Warspractically the only birthday worth talking about today. I have to be completely honest in saying that it didn't hit me personally as much as the gunshot. Thorne 2gun with a brain stem. I guess at the time I just wasn't interested in the storyless, MP-focused portion of the series (and Golden Eye was still the undisputed king of 4P split-screen anyway).
However, I still played many rounds of FFA, CTF, and the stupid Frag Tag where someone would randomly become a monkey. Rage Wars also continued and even expanded the franchise's array of creative and chaotic weapons. Case in point: the Inflator, which used needles of compressed air to brutally blow people up, and the Alien-friendly Chest Burster rifle. The last one is quite simple.
Australian birthdays of outstanding games.
