![]() ![]() That next big thing was the Nintendo Switch. I mean you know your heart is broken when you refuse to even consider the ‘next big thing.’ I took the PSPs apart, replaced the pads, fixed the sticks, but it was never the same. ![]() I heard the ‘death knell’ clearly when the buttons and game sticks on both PSPs started wearing out and eventually stopped working. Spending $40 for a game that wasn't playable on my computer or anywhere else wasn’t a winning proposition. In retrospect, I should have known the relationship was doomed to fail. I saw past the sandboxed connectivity, and even overlooked the fact that the proprietary cartridges couldn’t be played on anything else. I invested, because I was going to settle down and never consider another platform. I bought cases, games, movies, and storage systems. It had hundreds of compatible games and movies. Then in the early 2000’s, Sony's PSP became my go to device. Not to mention, connecting to the internet or synching it with a computer required a suitcase of accessories, so doing anything meaningful with the iPAQ was an arduous affair. Alas, there was a complete dearth of games and content designed for it. It was revolutionary it used a stylus, and had a touchscreen. There was the Compaq iPAQ, a full color version of the Palm Pilot PDA. Still, I was smitten with portable gaming, and I’ve courted each and every portable gaming platform since. The Gameboy was great - but it was a small, green screen device with a relatively limited number of fun games. It all started back in college… it was the early 90’s, Mariah Carey was dominating the Billboard Hot 100, and portable gaming became a ‘thing.’ Her name was Gameboy. In full transparency, portable gaming hasn’t always loved me back (or at the very least not as much I’ve committed to loving it). So, when I first heard about the pending arrival of the Steam Deck, I immediately fell in love (with portable gaming) all over again. My collection includes two Nintendo Gameboys, a Compaq iPAQ (their handheld touchscreen device - it was a 90’s thing), two Sony PSPs, a Nintendo Switch, and dozens of laptops and cell phones I am ‘pot committed’ on portable gaming. I’ve spent thousands of dollars on portable gaming over the years. The thought of playing a game wherever I am, whenever I want brings a smile to my face. I’ve been enamored with portable gaming since I was a 10-year-old. Killer Bundle 25ĭisclosure: GameSpot and Fanatical are both owned by Fandom.To be very transparent, I’m a HUGE fan of the Steam Deck. Remember to check back every day this week, as Fanatical will be launching a new bundle every 24 hours. ![]() You’ll find a list of all games in the Killer Bundle 25 below. And considering many of these games retail for that price (or higher) on their own, you’re getting an incredible deal if just two or three games pique your interest. Thankfully, you don’t have to pick which games you want, as all 25 are included with your purchase. The former has you guiding a group of fish through hilarious, physics-based adventures, while the latter is an emotional journey that offers stunning graphics and a memorable story. This bundle isn’t all about big blockbusters, however, as you’ll also find plenty of darling indies in the Killer Bundle 25, such as I Am Fish and Arise. This includes the fast-paced Doom 64, the frantic beat-‘em-up River City Girls, and the timeless Baldur’s Gate. Every single title is offered as a Steam key, and there are some truly superb games in the pack. However, during the event, you can snag them all for just $25. The Killer Bundle 25 features 25 games with a combined retail price of $472.75. ![]()
