Money is harder to come by than ever, so if you're going to spend on a game, you should be sure you're getting the most out of your buck. Nintendo is putting on a big sale that features some rarely-seen first-party discounts, but these titles all have something in common. They all have free demos. If you'd like to try them before you buy them, you're welcome to do that. Take your time, because this sale will be going on for a while. Of course, if you feel like you already know what you're getting with a game like Metroid Dread, you can always just pick it up right now.

Elsewhere, PlayStation is offering its Essential Picks that includes first-time sales on titles like Stray and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection. Meanwhile, over at Xbox, you can find the best of the Xbox indies. That includes games like The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, Among Us, Hades, Rogue Legacy 2, and Tetris Effect: Connected.

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?
