Halloween may only just be over (literally), but Squishmallows is already going all-in on the holidays. Lots of new holiday-themed plushes have been added to Amazon recently, including adorable Hello Kitty and My Melody Squishmallows. Hello Kitty has been reimagined to look like a Gingerbread cookie, with the details on the plush being made to look just like icing. The dots on her bow are even reminiscent of the candies you add to real-life Gingerbread cookies....

Nintendo’samiibotrain will come to a stop next month, and no one knows if it will be starting back up again whenever theSwitch’s successor is released. There are a couple more significant stops on the journey before we all hop off and wait for the train to potentially start up again though, starting with Noah and Mio fromXenoblade Chronicles 3. The pair have been turned into amiibo and are being sold as a two-pack, and since today is release day, there’s limited stock of the figures at Best Buy....

Earlier this week,Alan Wake 2,Baldur’s Gate 3,Marvel’s Spider-Man 2,Resident Evil 4,Super Mario Bros. Wonder, andThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomwere announced as the games that will be competing for Game of the Year atThe Game Awards. I’ve played most of them (except for Alan Wake 2, which got sidelined because, between Spider-Man 2 and Mario Wonder, I had just spent $130 on new games). I like them all, and even love a few....

You’re in a pro tournament, theWorld Championships,ready to test your mettle against some of the best players inPUBG. Only, you die to an NPC polar bear. Bit unfair, aye? That’s what happened to PLM Flukky today as they snuck up the hills of a snowy Vikendi, their match cut short by the digital wildlife. Usually, PUBG pro games are limited toErangeland Miramar, neither of which have pesky polar bears ready to jump you....

ThePlayStation Portal’s launch is almost here and despite people wondering why anyone would want one considering it needs a WiFi connection to work, tracking down a pre-order for the handheld device has been pretty difficult. In fact, with a little more than a week to go, at the time of typing this, there are only two outlets in the US with any Portal pre-orders left at all. If you still want to guarantee you get one on launch day, you’re going to need to buy one through Walmart or head directly toPlayStation....

PlayStationhas moved on from the era of releasing different designs of the same console in itsPS5era, instead opting for covers that can be removed and replaced, allowing you to alter your console’s appearance. The base model of PlayStation’s latest console has a number of official cover options three years in - includingthe hard-to-find Spider-Man 2 cover- and now the newer, slimmer model is getting some color alternatives of its own....

As I’m sure you’ve heard constantly over the last week, God of War Ragnarok’s new Valhalla DLC is fantastic. It’s so much more than ‘free roguelike mode’ would lead you to believe, and I echo many others when I say I can’t believe this expansion is free. It’s frequently being compared to Hades, the current-reigning champ of roguelikes, and it’s easy to see why. I’m not distinguishing between roguelike and roguelite here, that’s a more annoying topic for another time....

Developer Titan Forge Games announcedSmite 2, the sequel to the long-running hit MOBA, during the opening ceremony of the Smite World Championship at Esports Arena in Dallas, Texas. Fans have been hoping for a sequel for a long time now – the original game is entering its eleventh year. Smite is a third-person competitive multiplayer game in which teams of five, taking the roles of gods, mythical figures, or even Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (thanks to crossover skins), battle to complete objectives and destroy the opposing team’s Titan....

Summary World of Warcraft: Season of Discoveryis a major success. Blizzard’s risky bet of adding new content to WoW: Classic is paying off big-time. All zones were packed with people on launch day and, miraculously, the servers survived! This happened partially due to Season of Discovery having thebiggest realmsever created in the 20-year history of World of Warcraft. The first phase of SoD lets you play all the way to level 25 with an entirely new system: Rune Engravings....

Summary Having a rapid-firing, highly destructive, sleek-looking gun to overwhelm enemies from far to mid-range before they ever even see you coming is excellent inThe Finals. Still, some combat scenarios require a more hands-on, up-close, and personal method of dealing with hostiles. Say you’re in a tight hallway with limited room to properly aim your weapon, and a sleek, moving, fast-paced light class enemy is barreling down on you. With a solid melee weapon, you could simply meet them head-on, outmaneuver them, and get the killing blow....

Quick Links Lords Of The Fallenprovides a wide range of equipment, including weapons, shields, armor, and spells, allowing you to craft a strong character to tackle the game’s challenging environment. Fortunately, the game doesn’t confine you to a particular gear setup, as there are always better options available. Even if you want to experiment with different builds, there’s a respec feature at your disposal. An Umbral build combines spellcasting with the use of Umbral sorceries while still making the most of weapons....

ThePlayStation 3was a truly great system. It was the Blu-ray player that most owned back in the day and had afantastic library of games. The hidden gems on the system are a bit more well-known than the ones on the Xbox 360, but that’s mainly due to the prices of PS3 games going up in recent times. There’s still quite a few hidden gems at a reasonable price, and an area that’s majorly overlooked is PlayStation Move games....

There are a few things a TV show, video game, or movie franchise should be on the look out for should their creators ever seek confirmation that they’ve officially made it. No, I’m not talking about box office revenue and units sold, who cares about that? I am, of course, referring toLegosets andFunko Pops. If a character you’ve played on-screen has been turned into a Funko Pop! figure, then that means people love it enough to want it in their homes, and Homelander fromThe Boys, despite being a downright despicable villain, already has a few....
