I Just Banana Slipped Into a Bunch of Not Prime Day Deals That Are Way Better
There’s something oddly satisfying about scooping up post-sale scraps that should be gone by now.


There’s something oddly satisfying about scooping up post-sale scraps that should be gone by now. The Prime Day rush is done and dusted, yet a slew of cracking offers have somehow avoided the discount bin cull. I’ve been trawling the dregs so you don’t have to, and what’s still kicking around is honestly worth your time and wallet.
This Day in Gaming ????
In retro news, I’m lighting a 17-candle cake for Secret Agent Clank using the low-heat blast of a Tie-A-Rang (that tuxedo-grade gadget that slices through henchmen and decorum with equal style). I fondly recall this offbeat PSP spin-off from the Ratchet & Clank universe as a genre-jumper, swapping the series’ traditional bombastic platforming for a stealth-lite spy parody, all deployed to smooth jazz riffs.
While it never hit the highs of the mainline series, Secret Agent Clank did something admirable: it gave the sidekick his moment. With Ratchet framed for a crime he didn’t commit, Clank stepped out of his buddy’s shadow and into a tux, creating a rare handheld experience that mixed rhythm games, QTE spy action, and mini stealth sequences with Bond-level puns. It wasn’t a revolution, but it showed how Insomniac’s world was elastic enough to stretch into spin-offs without snapping.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch
On Switch, Super Mario RPG is a must-grab. This remake not only nails the SNES original’s off-kilter humour and rhythm-based battles, but it’s also secretly the first Mario game with a Square Enix touch. If you’d rather go full outlaw, Red Dead Redemption runs beautifully in handheld mode and yes, you can hogtie NPCs on a moving train. It still works. I checked.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
Xbox Series X players, Alan Wake 2 is absurdly good value right now. It's a masterclass in digital horror, with Remedy writing actual playable pages of the in-game novel. Meanwhile, Cyberpunk 2077 is (kinda sorta) finally the game we were promised, and Night City has never looked better or felt more alive thanks to the Phantom Liberty DLC injection.

Pure Scores for PlayStation
Over on PlayStation, I’ve been loving Epic Mickey: Rebrushed on PS5. It’s not just a port – it retools the physics and AI while keeping the concept art-inspired charm. Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut on PS4 is also a no-brainer. Its Kurosawa Mode isn’t just visual flair because the devs studied actual samurai films to get the camera angles and lens grime just right.

And finally, on PC, Pacific Drive is a wild roguelike driving sim I can’t stop recommending. It turns car maintenance into a full-on survival mechanic. If you want bang for buck though, Moonlighter at under four bucks is insane. It’s Zelda by day, capitalism by night. Trust me, it works.
