It’s not been a great day for Square Enix stockholders, doubly so if they live in the ridiculously cold north of England. First they learn that the company will be making an “extraordinary loss" this financial year as a result of a costly internal restructuring, they then learn that the company’s president of 13 years, Yoichi Wada will be stepping down (though, they may not be entirely torn up about that considering his role in the first piece of bad news), and now, on top of all that came before, they’ve learned that Tomb Raider grossly missed Square Enix’s sales expectations.

The previously digital-only Green Man Gaming has spawned a physical arm, a grotesque flexing bicep that's offering you boxed copies of PC and console games. You know, like the kind they sell in shops. Real shops! The ones you can touch and caress. To mark the advent of boxes Green Man Gaming are selling pre-orders of physical PC versions of Darksiders 2 and Sleeping Dogs for just £19.99. They've got a whole week of such deals lined up, starting from July 27 and including the likes of Black Ops 2, Borderlands 2, Hitman Absolution and Guild Wars 2. Fantastic news for shelf owners.
