The smoke is clearing from the big year-end sales, so there isn't a whole lot to pick up this weekend. PlayStation is getting things started with a New Year Deals sale, which can help catch you up to games like Unicorn Overlord, Life is Strange: Double Exposure, and EA SPORTS College Football 25's Deluxe Edition.

With a lighter week, our recommendation goes to Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, on sale across all three major console makers. We got a kick out of this game when it came out a year ago. We gave it honors for Most Overlooked Game. Don't let it keep slipping by you and give it a look.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. 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?
