Between Nintendo nostalgia, Xbox epics, PlayStation powerhouses, and PC throwbacks, today's round of bargains certainly has something for anyone whos ever said, Why the hell not? I'm worth it. That being said, let's all go pay very little for a lot of great escapism.ContentsRetroNintendoXboxPlayStationPCPC GearLEGOThis Day in Gaming In retro news, I'm using cherry bombs to light up a 19-candle cake for Bully (or Canis Cadem Edit, as we weirdly called it over here in Oz), In the pantheon of misrepresented software from the 21st century, this certainly was one of the most targeted by mainstream media. Demonised as "Grand Theft Auto in High School" by opponents who never played it, Bully became one of the most hotly-contested videogames of its time. Personally, I have nothing but (reasonably) wholesome memories of guiding juvenile delinquent Jimmy Hopkins around Bullworth Academy with a bottle rocket launcher.Aussie birthdays for notable games.- Bully (Canis Canem Edit) (PS2) 2006. eBay- Torchlight (PC) 2009.
