Lego Spider-Verse Minifigure 6-Packs Discounted At Amazon

Tue, 12/02/2025 - 18:06
See at Amazon See at Target Sold out at Walmart Sold out at Lego Store

The Lego Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse minifigure collection is on sale for the first time since launching in September. Amazon is selling mystery boxes with six Lego Spider-Man minifigures for $27 (was $30). The 10% discount only shaves three bucks from the price, but the Spider-Verse minifigures have largely been sold out at other retailers. At the moment, only Amazon and Target have Spider-Verse 6-Packs in stock--and you'll pay full price at Target. Single Spider-Verse minifigures are priced at $5, but every major retailer and the Lego Store are sold out of singles.

Amazon has marked this as a Cyber Monday deal, so it may disappear at 12 AM PT (December 2). But unlike most of Amazon's Cyber Monday Lego deals, the store page doesn't have a countdown clock, so it could stick around after the sale ends.

The Spider-Verse Lego minifigure collection includes 12 characters from the animated film series. Each minifigure comes with a stand and most also have an accessory.

The 4K Nvidia Shield TV Pro Is Back Down To Its Lowest-Ever Price

Tue, 12/02/2025 - 13:42
See at Amazon See at Best Buy

If you're interested in cloud gaming and streaming, the Nvidia Shield TV Pro is arguably one of the best options available in 2025. It's a powerful little piece of hardware, letting you access GeForce Now along with all your favorite streaming platforms (like Netflix and Disney+). Normally a bit pricey at $200, Amazon and Best Buy are matching its lowest price ever of $170 for Cyber Monday--but since the sales end at 11:59 PM PT on December 1, you'll want to snag one soon before the limited-time offer disappears.

Nvidia Shield TV Pro $170 (was $200)

The Nvidia Shield TV Pro is an all-around streaming monster. This model includes the new Shield Remote, offering backlit buttons, a built-in microphone for voice commands, and even a lost remote locator feature (so you'll know exactly which cushion it slipped behind). The main attraction, however, is the box itself, which features some nice hardware. Here's a quick look at its specs:

  • Nvidia Tegra X1+ processor (256-core GPU and 3GB RAM)
  • 16GB storage (expandable)
  • AI-upscaling for 4K 60fps
  • Dolby Atmos support
  • Dolby Vision support
  • Gigabit Ethernet port
  • HDMI 2.0
  • 2x USB 3.0 Ports (Type A)
  • Android 11 with Chromecast 4K built-in

For gaming, you'll have access to Google Play Games and GeForce Now. That makes this a pretty cool central entertainment hub, offering you a chance to stream not just TV shows and movies, but also games.

If you like the concept of the Nvidia Shield TV Pro but want to save a few extra bucks, take a peek at its more affordable sibling--the standard Nvidia Shield TV. It comes with a similar Nvidia Tegra X1+ processor, though it's equipped with 2GB RAM instead of 3GB. You'll also lose out on the USB 3.0 ports and see a drop from 16GB of storage to just 8GB. However, at $125 (was $150), it might be a good choice for frugal shoppers.

Another cloud gaming option is the Fire TV Stick 4K Max + Luna Controller Bundle, which is on sale for $70 (was $130) at Amazon. The Luna Controller is surprisingly great--especially when streaming with Luna--as it helps reduce input latency and is quite comfortable for extended gaming sessions. Note that these Fire TV Sticks all support Xbox Cloud Gaming.

These Customizable Pixel Art Speakers Are A Stylish Retro-Themed Gift Idea

Tue, 12/02/2025 - 13:30
See at Amazon

If you're shopping for a quirky last-minute holiday gift, this adorable Retro Pixel Art Bluetooth Speaker needs to be on your radar. Amazon has it listed for one of its best prices of the year right now, and since the customizable speaker also serves as an alarm clock and white noise machine, it's a fun purchase at $70 (was $90). Amazon's discount started on Black Friday and continues through Cyber Monday; however, the Cyber Monday event ends at 11:59 PM PT on December 1, so you have just a few more hours to cash in on this offer.

Retro Pixel Art Bluetooth Speaker $70 (was $90)

Available in five different styles (all of which are on sale), the Retro Pixel Art Bluetooth Speaker is quite popular with buyers. Sitting with nearly 11,000 reviews on Amazon, it's holding down an impressive 4.6 stars. Along with serving as a Bluetooth speaker, you can customize the pixel art on its display using the attached mini keypad. There's also a companion app where you can quickly adjust your settings--or download artwork from other users. So even if you're not the most artistic person on the planet, you can still get a fun design for the speaker.

For playing music, you can connect via Bluetooth, USB, or microSD card. Beyond looking adorably retro and blasting tunes, the device also works as a white noise machine, a timer, and an alarm clock with 12 wake-up sounds. And since it gets around 8 hours of battery life on a charge, you can use it throughout your home before needing to plug in at night.

Retro Pixel Art Bluetooth Speakers

The same company responsible for the Retro Pixel Art Bluetooth Speaker also makes a few other cool speakers. A cheaper alternative is the Classic Gaming PC Style Speaker, which is just $56 (was $70). It's designed to look like (surprise!) a retro computer, though its display isn't designed for pixel art. Instead, you can use it as a digital picture frame. There's also the TimeBox Evo, which offers a similar pixel grid as that of the Retro Pixel Art Speaker, but it's housed inside a minimalist black frame. It's available for $38.20 (was $70).

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was a smash hit when it debuted in the '90s, successfully adapting Japan's Tokusatsu genre for Western audiences. If you're feeling nostalgic, catch up with the original Teenagers With Attitude thanks to this DVD box set, which is on sale for $19.49 (was $30) at Amazon. The deal kicked off during Amazon's Black Friday event and has rolled over to the retailer's Cyber Monday event, which ends at 11:59 PM PT on December 1, so you only have a few more hours to grab the discount. Check out the deal below, then head over to GameSpot's Black Friday & Cyber Monday Deals Hub to see more last-minute savings.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Complete Series 19.49 (was $30)

This 19-disc set includes all 145 episodes of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the 10-episode Alien Rangers mini-series, archival material, and brand-new retrospective featurettes. The bonus materials look back on the popular series through newly filmed interviews with cast and creative team members, deep dives into how the show found its stars, and more.

  • A look back at the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers phenomenon with brand-new interviews

Power Rangers famously reused content from the Super Sentai series, splicing in scenes with the US cast to create each episode. The Mighty Morphin team would eventually be retired, with brand-new Power Ranger teams headlining each new season. You can also save big on several Power Rangers shows like Time Force, Dino Thunder, and Lost Galaxy, as well as the original Japanese Super Sentai Series that served as the foundation for these series.

More Power Ranger Blu-rays & DVDs

Since we're talking Super Sentai, we have to mention Kamen Rider as well. Similar to Super Sentai, Kamen Rider focuses on motorcycle-riding heroes who fight back against evil organizations plotting to overthrow the world, taking on new monsters every week. Black Friday-specific deals are mostly focused on Heisei Era Phase 1 Kamen Rider series like Kamen Rider Ryuki and Kamen Rider Kuuga, but you can also pick up complete series of modern entries in the franchise like Kamen Rider Geats and Kamen Rider Zero-One.

Helldivers Movie Lands Fast & Furious Director

Tue, 12/02/2025 - 11:30

Sony's hit video game franchise Helldivers is heading to the big screen, and it'll be driven by the man who directed five out of the 10 Fast & Furious movies: Justin Lin.

And the project has already lined up a screenwriter as well: Gary Dauberman, a writer whose experience includes the It movies and the Annabelle films.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lin will produce the movie through his Perfect Storm Entertainment company. The story also notes that Lin used his inexperience as a gamer as a way to pitch Sony on a take that will "find the humanity in the characters and weave timely themes into the story, while building out a world and mythology."

Elden Ring Nightreign's Forsaken Hollows Has Reignited My Interest With Exciting Additions

Tue, 12/02/2025 - 11:00

From Software is very careful about setting expectations when it comes to the DLC expansions for its games, favoring the underpromise and overdeliver approach. This much is reflected in the messaging around The Forsaken Hollows, Elden Ring Nightreign's first DLC expansion. When I pointed out a similarity I felt it had to Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, the team made sure to clarify that the comparison was not quite apt and players shouldn't expect something on that level.

The Forsaken Hollows is billed as a couple of new Nightfarers for players to pick between, along with new points of interest to give players a reason to jump back into Limveld and take on the Nightlords. That's an accurate summation of it, but also somewhat undersells that the two new Nightfarers are very cool and create interesting new ways to think about and play the game; the new biomes come in the form of swamps (yes, they're back) that make the threat of status effects more prominent; and there are multiple new mini-bosses and third-day bosses to take on.

But the real underselling pertains to the new Shifting Earth event, which is essentially a brand new map that's distinct from Limveld, as opposed to a much smaller scale change in the environment that we're used to expecting.

Splinter Cell Remake Regains Director Who Left For Battlefield 6 Three Years Ago

Tue, 12/02/2025 - 09:52

In late 2022, Splinter Cell Remake director David Grivel announced that he was leaving Ubisoft after 11 years and going on a "new adventure." That led him to work on Battlefield 6 for EA. Now that adventure has taken Grivel back to Ubisoft as he reclaims his old job as the director of the Splinter Cell Remake.

Grivel announced his return to the Splinter Cell Remake team on LinkedIn (via GamesRadar).

"Today, I am very, VERY happy to announce that I'm rejoining Ubisoft Toronto as Game Director on the Splinter Cell Remake!" wrote Grivel. "A very special team and project to me."

High On Life 2 Trailer Encourges You To Take Drugs Made From Humans

Tue, 12/02/2025 - 08:22

Humans aren't exactly on the top of the food chain in Squanch Games' High on Life 2. This first-person shooter takes place in a universe where aliens came to Earth to use humanity as ingredients for intergalactic pharmaceutical drugs. Now, a new trailer for the game facetiously markets itself to alien consumers as it encourages them to use Humanzapro, a new wonder drug made from humans.

The trailer is done in the style of pharmaceutical ads that typically run on American TV. All of the tropes of those ads are present, including the footage of happy aliens after they've taken the drug. Intriguingly, the ad warns humans that they shouldn't be taking Humanzapro because of side effects. That makes us wonder if this particular drug will be a power-up during the game.

High on Life introduced players to the Rick and Morty-esque talkative sci-fi weapons, which was fitting since the first game was produced by Rick and Morty co-creator--and Squanch Games co-founder--Justin Roiland, who also voiced a sentient alien weapon. Roiland was forced out of Squanch Games and Rick and Morty following a series of allegations.

Go Behind The Scenes On The Real Ghostbusters TV Series With This Cyber Monday Deal

The biggest movies of the '80s were regularly adapted into animated TV series, and Ghostbusters was no exception. Harold Ramis' supernatural comedy spawned The Real Ghostbusters, which ran from 1986 to 1991, and is still considered a beloved part of the franchise nearly four decades later. If you've ever wanted to explore the creation of the show, you can save a whopping 65% on The Real Ghostbusters: A Visual History thanks to Amazon's Cyber Monday sale. This deluxe book chronicles the cartoon series' production, with behind-the-scenes looks at the show's art and even its official toy line. The book is available in two versions, both of which are discounted: a Deluxe Edition for $38.75 (was $65) and a standard edition for $27.39 (was $55). Both discounts are limited-time deals that are only available during Cyber Monday.

The Real Ghostbusters: A Visual History Deluxe Edition $38.75 (was $65)

The Real Ghostbusters: A Visual History is a 248-page hardcover featuring behind-the-scenes content on the show. The deluxe version comes with several extras, including a slipcase inspired by the Ghostbusters Company 8 Firehouse headquarters, two replicas of animation cels, and a ribbon bookmark resembling the firehouse flagpole.

As for the book, it's packed with creator interviews, original animation scans, toy photography, and much more. It examines how the show became a hit with audiences and led to the creation of a successful toyline that included some of the weirdest collectibles ever made. There's also never-before-seen conceptual artwork, storyboards, script excerpts, internal memos, packaging art, unseen prototypes, and abandoned concepts from the toy line.

See at Amazon The Real Ghostbusters: A Visual History Standard Edition $27.39 (was $55)

The standard edition of the book is also available at a 50% discount, but it doesn't come with any of the extra content listed above. Considering these books were released only in July, this is a significant overall savings for a relatively new release and a great idea for a Christmas present for the Ghostbusters fan at home.

You can also pair this with The Real Ghostbusters animated series on DVD. While this isn't the full run of the cult-classic show, you're still getting over 100 episodes for just $18.49.

The Sonic Movie Universe Keeps Expanding

Paramount has announced yet another Sonic the Hedgehog movie, scheduling a "Sonic universe feature" for release in theaters on December 22, 2028.

The fourth entry in the main Sonic film series is scheduled for March 2027, and this newly announced film will follow the next year, according to Deadline. Exactly what the movie is, however, is unconfirmed. All that Paramount confirmed is that it exists in the Sonic universe.

Industry Mourns Tomonobu Itagaki, Creator Of Dead Or Alive And 3D Ninja Gaiden

Tue, 12/02/2025 - 05:29

Industry leaders in Japan recently gathered to honor Tomonobu Itagaki, the creator of Dead or Alive and the 3D Ninja Gaiden series, who passed away in October at age 58. The memorial venue was filled with heartfelt tributes, including copies of his games, artwork, swords, and pieces of his iconic clothing. Photos shared by attendees showed just how much he meant to the gaming community.

Itagaki was a major figure in Japanese game development. He founded Team Ninja in the late 1990s and helped shape modern action and fighting games. At the memorial, Koei Tecmo executive Yosuke Hayashi shared memories of meeting him in 2001. Hayashi recalled being assigned to Itagaki's team and being told there was no work for him.

WoW Housing Is Finally Here, But There Is A Crack In The Foundation

Tue, 12/02/2025 - 05:00

In the 21 years since World of Warcraft launched, one feature has been asked about and requested above all others: player housing. Despite being the premier MMORPG for over two decades, housing in WoW has always felt like a pipedream. Now, that dream is finally a reality, as an early-access version of player housing is launching December 2 for those who preorder WoW's eleventh expansion, Midnight.

It's been a long time coming. Housing as a feature was experimented with in WoW's earliest days but never came to fruition. In 2014, WoW's Warlords of Draenor expansion gave players a taste of what a full-fledged player housing system could be in the form of Garrisons. These large, base-like personal towns met nearly all of a player's needs in one location.

But Garrisons quickly became more of a lesson in what Blizzard shouldn't do when it came to player housing. Barely customizable, Garrisons were also extremely isolating. With access to so many amenities in one, private location, players didn't need to be out in the world or hanging out in one of WoW's capital cities. Garrisons whetted players appetites for housing, but whenever Blizzard was asked about when a proper housing system might arrive, it always replied that it wanted to do the feature justice and was waiting for the right moment to make it happen.
