Let’s dive straight into the exciting world of savings! The winter sale is upon us, and it’s the perfect opportunity to snag some incredible deals on games that you won’t want to miss. Among the standout offers, consider getting one (or several) of the $59 Xbox official controllers. Why, you ask? Because Xbox Game Pass seamlessly integrates with PCs and TV boxes, making it an affordable, console-free way to enjoy games like *Indy: Great Circle*.
Celebrating Gaming Milestones
In addition to these fantastic deals, it’s worth noting that this month marks the 25th anniversary of *SWAT 3*, a pivotal title that laid the groundwork for modern tactical shooters like *Rainbow Six Siege*. Interestingly, *SWAT 3* is technically the seventh installment of Sierra’s classic *Police Quest* series. It evolved from an isometric SWAT tactics game into a first-person shooter, where players are encouraged to apprehend criminals rather than eliminate them. This game stands out for its engaging solo, co-op, and team deathmatch modes, rivaling popular titles like *Tom Clancy’s Rogue Spear*.
This Day in Gaming History 🎂
Let’s raise a toast to notable Australian gaming anniversaries:
– *SWAT 3: Close Quarters Battle* (PC) – Released in 1999
– *Halo: Spartan Assault* (XO) – Released in 2013
