Spring is around the corner and that means it's a good time to find a copious amount of game sales. You won't have to look very hard to find something heavily discounted for either PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo. Specifically, all three major console makers are offering some of the best games from Square Enix, which includes a first-time discount on Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion for Switch and Xbox. We had nothing but good things to say about this in our review back in December and if you want to be prepared for the next chapter in the FF7 Remake saga, you should probably check this out. Or, if you like good games, you should check this out.

Elsewhere, and staying on the Square Enix beat, PlayStation has a first-time discount on Forspoken. Xbox is offering one of the first sales on the Dead Space remake, albeit on the Deluxe Edition. Nintendo still has a handful of Mario games on sale, which is a rarity, but shoppers can also find a handful of third-party publisher promos happening right now from the likes of 2K, WB Games, Capcom, Ubisoft, and more.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
