#WATCH NAG

This week’s Veterans Vault began with a simple plan: talk about games but as it goes, we took a detour through James Bond lore, Sean Connery in The Rock conspiracies, Austin Powers, Nick Cage as Blofeld, and why Idris Elba should probably have been handed the tux years ago. Sorry, we digressed. Again.

Getting back to actual games, I spent some time with Cypher 007 on Apple Arcade, a neat little stealth-action Bond game that understands what mobile gaming should be. It uses a recognisable IP, builds a proper game around it, and doesn’t try to shake you down every five minutes with gacha nonsense. Bond is trapped inside Blofeld’s mind trap, which gives the whole thing a slightly surreal setup while still letting it pull in familiar gadgets, characters, and bits of Bond flavour from across the franchise. It’s more sneaking, stunning guards, and dodging surveillance cones than full murder-suit Bond, but that works nicely on mobile.

From there, James dragged us into the weekly bargains, starting with Resident Evil 5, currently cheap enough to make you wonder why you don’t already own three copies. Control Ultimate Edition also came up, and at that price, it’s basically rude not to buy it. It remains a stone-cold third-person action classic, or as James put it, Stranger Things Jedi. Then there’s Oxygen Not Included, a funny, stressful, survival-management game about keeping stranded little space people alive with food, oxygen, and probably a rising sense of personal failure.

On the top-selling side, we looked at Mina The Hollower, the current indie darling from the Shovel Knight crowd, mixing retro Zelda-style adventure with modern systems and a darker edge. Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library! also appeared, which is either a soothing book-sorting game or a pointed reminder that your actual bookshelves are judging you.

City-builder fans should keep an eye on All Will Fail, a physics-based colony sim where your grand designs can literally collapse, while Dome Keeper: The Lost Keepers gives existing fans more of that brilliant mining-by-day, tower-defence-by-night loop. Finally, Morbid Metal brings the flashier end of the show with slick arena combat, character swapping, and the kind of polished action that makes indie games look more expensive than they probably are.

It was a packed episode, full of bargains, Bond lore, Steam discoveries, accidental soundtrack education, and the firm editorial position that The Rock is absolutely a Bond movie. Perfect weekend damage, then. Tune in.

We had a tech issue early on, so forgive the weird two-parter here. Part 1 here: https://youtube.com/live/DhyglFrPRsQ
