This great occasion is approaching us: The Legend of Zelda: Kingdom’s Tears It will be released in less than a week, on Friday, May 12th. It’s the biggest game of 2023, and the most important launch in years for the Nintendo Switch.

Star Wars Jedi: SurvivorJust how good this game is has been overshadowed by a buggy launch last week. But now that Respawn and EA have patched the game to improve its performance, it’s easy to recommend it. If you like his prequels, Jedi: The Fallen Order (Play this first, if you haven’t already) There’s a lot to love here, and you can get a $10 gift card when you buy it at Amazon or Goal. It’s not quite as good as the $10 sale we saw earlier this week, but it’s a solid freebie nonetheless.

Black Mesathe new, polished, valve-approved version of 1997 half life With greatly improved graphics, just that $4.99 in Steam. If you haven’t yet played through the game that helped put Valve on the map as a game studio, I highly recommend playing this version.

If you are the owner of the PS5 you purchased Spider-Man from Marvel for PS4 at any time, digitally or on disc, you can Pay $10 to Sony To get the modified version. Previously, the switching device was assembled inside Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition When PS5 launches in 2020.

There are a few caveats: If you own the game on disc, you’ll need to put it into your PS5 every time you want to play the Digital Enhancer. And if you have claimed any version of the game through your PlayStation Plus subscription (in other words, if you did not explicitly purchase the game), you will not be eligible for that upgrade price. You will have to pay $49.99 to get the enhancer.
