Some Great Games Are On Sale Right Now On PSN
PlayStation Network Flash Sales are rarely disappointing, but this weekend’s sale is particularly good as it brings some serious discounts on several fantastic — and fairly new — video games that are all worth checking out. This weekend, you can grab any of the titles below for $9.99 each. If you need help choosing the right one to add to your collection, you really can’t go wrong with Darksiders II, DmC Devil May Cry, BioShock Infinite, XCOM: Enemy Unknown and Resident Evil: Revelations.
The only reason Metro: Last Light isn’t on that list is because if you haven’t yet experienced that glorious game, you really should try and get the Redux version that arrives on August 26th.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
