We love this year’s The Crimson Diamond for its modern retreading of classic titles (even if its text parser interface is occasionally awkward). If you’d like to try your hand at cracking the case, you can currently pick it up from GOG for just $13.49 (was $14.99).Other highlights include the 30th Anniversary Collection of Myst, our favorite Peter Gabriel vehicle, which is on sale for $42.53 (was $98.93). We’re also taken by discounts on games from pre-eminent point-…

He has nearly 20 years of experience in media and was a founding editor of The Verge.I’m a big fan of ambient lo-fi music, but sometimes I need something to wake me up — which is especially true following a three-day weekend, as many readers are probably feeling right now. And what better way to get hyped for the day/week/month ahead than with the bombastic and eclectic grooves of the Street Fighter 6 soundtrack? Right now you can get the collector’s edition vinyl set from Amazon for around $66 (was $170), a 61% discount. That’s a lot of 6s for one deal, and we wish we had something more clever to say about that, but again, it’s the first day after a three-day weekend and we only just started listen…

CapcomGames are weird again!Don’t get us wrong, 2023 was an all-timer. We got new Zelda and Mario. Armored Core and Baldur’s Gate woke up from cryogenic sleep. Alan Wake rose from its plot in the Video Game IP Cemetery, while Street Fighter 6 acted like Street Fighter 5 had never happened. But while 2023 was an unforgettable year for iconic franchises, it wasn’t a surprising one. Nobody was underestimating Nintendo, FromSoftware, and Capcom.2024, on the other hand, has been unpredictable! Our favorite games include a typing-based dungeon crawler, a surprisingly popular sequel in a totally different genre than its little-played predecessor, and a massive RPG where a reformed yakuza recreates Animal Crossing with perverts and garbage dumps. This is a year for the real sickos (it’s u…
