We're two chapters into the grand remake trilogy of Final Fantasy 7 games, and if you want to own physical versions of the trilogy, now's your chance to snag Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade's sought-after physical edition for PS5. Best Buy has FF7 Remake Intergrade in stock for $70 as of January 7. Earlier this week, Amazon listed it for $50, but the retailer sold out fast.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade $70

The PS5 physical edition has been out of print for years, which has led to some rather ridiculous prices on the reseller market. Finally, Square Enix has finally printed a fresh batch of the sought-after edition that bundles the base game and the Intermission DLC.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake is a gorgeous reboot of the classic 1997 game it's based on. Set primarily within the early Midgar chapters of Final Fantasy 7, the remake gives Cloud Strife and the rest of the Avalanche crew a massive graphical glow-up as they fight to stop Shinra Inc. from turning the planet's life essence into a power source. Ghosts from the past threaten Cloud and his friends, and toward the end of the game, there are major changes to the storyline that shake up the status quo.

The Intermission expansion focuses on Yuffie Kisaragi and her partner Sonon Kusakabe as they work to steal a powerful artifact from Shinra. This is a short but fun add-on to the main campaign of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, which also saw various technical and graphical improvements added to the game. It's a fairly linear game overall--with some annoying padding--but if you're looking to revisit the cyberpunk world of Square Enix's beloved sci-fantasy game, Final Fantasy 7 Remake won't disappoint.

Jurassic World fans can add to their collection of buildable dinosaurs with two new Lego sets that pair nicely with some of the other models in the series. There's a Triceratops fossil set for $45 and a cute T. rex inspired by Little Eatie from Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous.

Lego Jurassic World - Dinosaur Fossils: Triceratops Skull (468 pieces) $45

Part of Lego's Jurassic World Dinosaur Fossils line, the Triceratops Skull is a 468-piece set that works as both a display piece and playset. It has an opening jaw and comes with a display stand, rock base, and excavating tools. A Junior Paleontologist minifigure stands next to the information plaque at the dig site.

The Triceratops Skull Lego model would look great next to the T. rex Skull that launched at the beginning of last year. The T. rex fossil set is a 577-piece build that shares the same aesthetic as the Triceratops. It includes an information plaque and a rock base with a fossilized T. rex footprint. Dinosaur Fossils: T. rex Skull normally costs $40, but you can get it for only $32 at Amazon.

Fans of the Netflix animated series Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous can build a 317-piece T. rex based on Little Eatie. Recommended for kids ages seven and up, Little Eatie has multiple points of articulation that essentially make it a buildable action figure. Her arms, legs, tail, head, and jaw can move to create different poses. Along with the figure, you'll build a cannon for the ferocious dinosaur to destroy.

Little Eatie isn't the only adorable dinosaur building set based on a character from Camp Cretaceous. Last summer, Lego released an incredibly cute Baby Bumpy Ankylosaurus set for $25.

Razer has announced the next generation of its Razer Blade 16 gaming laptop as part of its CES 2025 lineup. The new model looks to not only be a powerful rig with impressive gaming specs, it's also the company's thinnest gaming laptop yet.

The new Razer Blade 16 features a 0.59-inch chassis, which is 32% thinner than the previous Razer Blade 16 model. Razer has made other adjustments to the laptop's design to accommodate the smaller size without impacting durability, cooling, or usability. The new laptop has a metal body made from a single piece of anodized aluminum and features vapor chamber cooling. The redesign also includes a new keyboard with 1.5mm travel, which is 50% more key travel than the previous model.

Razer Blade 16 2025 Model

The Razer Blade 16 will be available with multiple hardware configuration options, with the highest-end model sporting an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor. Other components will be detailed later. All models feature a 16-inch OLED display with 3200 x 1800 pixel QHD+ resolution, 240Hz refresh rate, and 0.2ms response time.

Today at CES 2025, AMD announced its new 9070-series graphics cards, the Radeon RX 9070 XT and Radeon RX 9070. While the company did not reveal prices or availability for these new components, it did offer a preview of the new GPUs' features and performance.

Specific specs were not disclosed during the company's presentation, both the Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 are built on AMD's RDNA 4 architecture, featuring AMD’s second-gen AI accelerators, second-gen radiance display engine, and third-gen ray-tracing accelerators. AMD claims the performance benchmarks will be roughly in the range of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4070 Super. That would put the RX 9070 series within a mid-range line of GPUs, rather high-end models--though we're curious to see how they'll stack up against Nvidia's upcoming RTX 5000-series GPUs, which are also expected to be unveiled at CES this week.

Several manufacturers are readying Radeon 9070 series GPUs for launch early this year.

What was confirmed, however, is that the GPUs' RNA 4 architecture will support the new FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) AI-powered resolution upscaling, which AMD also previewed at CES. FSR is similar to Nvidia's DLSS and PS5 Pro's PSSR upscaling tech (which was based on FSR), but FSR 4 is built specifically for the RX 9070 series' new AI accelerators. FSR 4 will launch alongside the new Radeon 9070 GPUs and will support any games that already use FSR 3.1 and above, including Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, as confirmed by Microsoft's Matt Booty during AMD's presentation. The company did not specify how FSR 4 upscaling will compare to its current FSR 3.5 or Nvidia's DLSS.

Ghost of Tsushima, the critically acclaimed PlayStation title that sees players take on the role of a samurai defending his homeland, is getting an anime adaptation. Announced at 2025's Consumer Electronics Show, the upcoming series seeks to "offer fans an exciting new way to experience the game" alongside "bold and groundbreaking animation." As such, Sony Music and PlayStation Studios are collaborating with anime distributor Crunchyroll and Demon Slayer studio Aniplex to bring the show to life.

Ghost of Tsushima Legends art included in the anime series press release.

According to the series' press release, the upcoming show will not focus on Ghost of Tsushima main character Jin Sakai. Instead, it will adapt the game's Legends mode, a later addition to Ghost of Tsushima that introduced four-person co-op. In Legends mode, four characters--a samurai, a ronin, an assassin, and a hunter--band together to fight off creatures born from Japanese myths and legends, making for an experience that leans farther into the surreal and supernatural than the base game.

As of right now, many details about the upcoming series--such as its official name--are being kept under wraps. However, the studios did offer a tentative release window of 2027 and an announcement that the show will be a Crunchyroll exclusive.

Monkey Palace Lego Strategy Board Game

$31.56 (was $40)

See at Amazon See at Walmart

Amazon and Walmart have the recently released Lego Monkey Palace board game on sale for its lowest price yet for a limited time. The family-friendly strategy game is on sale for $31.56, which saves you over 20% off its $40 list price. This is marked as a limited-time deal at Amazon, and considering the retailer says it has sold over 10,000 copies of Monkey Palace over the past month, we wouldn't be surprised if it sold out soon. The Lego Store recently sold through its stock at full price.

Monkey Palace Lego Strategy Board Game $31.56 (was $40)

Monkey Palace turns building Lego into a fast-paced and varied strategy game for 2-4 players. It isn't the first officially licensed Lego board game, but it is the only one still in print at the moment. Older Lego board games tend to sell for rather high prices, so it'd be wise to add Monkey Palace to your collection sooner rather than later.

What happens when a monkey stumbles upon an ancient palace in the jungle but decides to redecorate their new home? The entire place collapses, of course, so now you and up to three other players need to rebuild the structure from scratch.

To help the monkey live large again, humans take turns adding Lego pieces to makeshift staircases. Each piece is worth a certain number of Monkey Credits, which are exchanged for Monkey Cards. The Monkey Card you choose to play determines which brick type(s) you use to make and decorate the staircases. As you build, you rack up Banana Points, which are counted at the end of the game to determine the winner. Games last roughly 45 minutes.

Nintendo Switch users are reporting that some recently purchased Switch games have arrived with the game cartridge missing from inside the box. Even odder, the cartridges appear to have been swapped out for… googly eyes.

Between massive open-world games like Elden Ring and the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6, or live-service titles like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Marvel Rivals, there are no shortage of games that can eat up players' free time. And that's why the industry may have reached a tipping point with its seemingly endless games, according to Bethesda veteran Will Shen.

Shen--who was previously the lead quest designer on Starfield--recently shared his thoughts about players being put off from jumping into large games during his appearance on Kiwi Talkz. He accepted that some of his previous Bethesda titles, including Skyrim, which "you can play pretty much forever, " may have contributed to player fatigue. However, Shen contends that the oversaturation of giant games leaves players without enough time to fully invest in new titles.

"We're reaching a point where people are fatigued, or a large section, a growing section of the audience, is becoming fatigued at investing 30-plus, 100-plus hours into a game," explained Shen. "Because they already have that. They already have the games that they will continually come back to, and adding another one to that list is a tall order. It's always a tall order."

What happens when you install nearly every World of Warcraft Classic add-on all at once? A cacophony of nonsensical sounds, the most cluttered interface imaginable, and, ultimately, the game ceasing to function entirely.

User-made add-ons are a big part of WoW, enabling players to customize their UI and tailor their experience how they like. WoW Classic, in particular, benefits greatly from add-ons, adding quality-of-life features that make playing the old-school version of Blizzard's MMORPG more manageable.

There are over 3,800 WoW Classic add-ons available for download on Curseforge, a website and app many WoW players use to manage their add-ons. Recently, one user by the name Baltoboulbobbi (via Wowhead) took it on themselves to see what exactly would happen if they tried to play the game with every add-on installed all at the same time. The brave soul installed 3,703 WoW Classic add-ons all at once and documented their experience in a seven minute video that is equal parts hilarious and existential nightmare. Some add-ons had to be immediately disabled due to them pushing Baltoboulbobbi over their 16GB RAM limit, while others had to be turned off as they prevented the game from running entirely. That left them with 3,683 add-ons running at the same time.

Lego's enormous recreation of Sauron's stronghold in The Lord of the Rings is no longer exclusive to the Lego Store. The 5,471-piece Lord of the Rings: Barad-dur Lego set is now available to purchase at major retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. The set is priced at $460, but My Best Buy Plus/Total members can save 10%, which drops the cost to $414. Considering My Best Buy Plus costs $50/year, the $46 discount lets you get 12 months of perks--including 10% off all Lego sets--for only $4 when you buy this set.

The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dur Lego Set (5,471 Pieces) $460 | Save $46 with My Best Buy Plus/Total

This $460 Lord of the Rings set includes 5,471 pieces, and the completed build stretches 32.5 inches high (nearly three feet!). It's a massive and intricately designed kit with numerous modular structures. It's capped off with the Eye of Sauron, which illuminates for added authenticity.

While J.R.R. Tolkien never specified the number of floors in Barad-dur, the Lego recreation of the dreary and terrifying structure has five levels. On the main floor, you'll create Gollum's hideout, an armory, and a prison for Orcs with a cage that opens and shuts. Level two has a dining hall and kitchen. The middle floor contains Sauron's throne room. The throne itself has a secret passageway to the Palantir chamber--where Sauron does his magic crystal ball activities--which features several cool Easter Eggs, including a map of Middle-earth. Above the throne room is the Mouth of Sauron's study, and the top floor has the library with a movable ladder.

Barad-dur is 17.5 inches wide and 12 inches deep, so you'll need ample shelf space and nearly three feet of open space above for the tower spire.

The set comes with 10 minifigures: Sauron, Mouth of Sauron, Frodo, Sam, Gollum, Gothmog, an Orc, and several minor characters to place inside the sprawling tower. It also includes accessories based on the Peter Jackson film trilogy such as the One Ring, Sauron's mace, light of Earendil, helmets for each Sauron figure, various armor and weapons, and more.

Lego's recreation of Rivendell is actually even bigger than Barad-dur, at least in terms of piece count. The Rivendell LOTR Lego set is 6,167 pieces and takes up a lot of space, too. The completed build is 28.5-inches wide, 19.5 inches deep, and 15 inches tall.

Rivendell is home to 15 Lego minifigures: Frodo, Sam, Bilbo Baggins, Gimli, Aragorn, Legolas, Gandalf the Grey, Boromir, and various unnamed characters.

Microsoft is continuing to expand Xbox Game Pass, with new LG Smart TVs coming later this year set to support the service via Xbox Cloud Gaming.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will be able to stream and play games directly from the Xbox App on their new LG TV, no Xbox required. A select few games, around 50, will also be streamable via the new LG TVs for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers who own them. Microsoft announced the ability to stream owned games in November, with titles like Baldur's Gate 3, Hades, Cyberpunk 2077, NBA 2K25, Hogwarts Legacy, and others supporting the feature.

Currently, those looking to stream Xbox Game Pass titles without an actual console or PC can do so via their phone, Amazon Fire TV, or on newer Samsung Smart TVs. Microsoft said in a blog post it will reveal more details about how the service will work on LG Tvs "in the coming months." It's currently unclear if support for the service will eventually come to some older LG TVs.

Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson says he's hoping to start work on a new game that would serve as a "spiritual successor" to the block-based sandbox game he first created in 2009.

"I basically announced Minecraft 2," Persson tweeted shortly after posting a poll asking for players' opinions on the direction of his current project, which he says is "a traditional roguelike mixed with a tile-based first-person dungeon-crawler."

I basically announced minecraft 2.
I thought that maybe people ACTUALLY do want me to make another game that's super similar to the first one, and I'm loving working on games again.
I don't super duper care exactly which game I make first (or even if I make more), but I do know…

— notch (@notch) January 3, 2025

"But then I gots to thinking that maybe there are people who like my work but might not share my taste in retro nostalgia, and would prefer for me to make a spiritual successor thing to Minecraft, and I mean sure, I'd take that cash," Persson wrote in a post sharing the poll.

An update for the first Destiny game surprisingly appeared on January 5, leaving players baffled. The game's headquarters, called the Tower, all of sudden became covered in holiday decorations.

This event in the Destiny universe is called The Dawning, which is the game's version of Christmas. Players were puzzled as to why The Dawning returned to the first Destiny game, considering that developer Bungie stopped supporting it after Destiny 2 was released in 2017. The update is entirely cosmetic, with no new quests, items, or events.

One likely explanation is that this is simply an oversight. YouTuber Breshi dug into the game's decoration files and concluded that this update was cut content from The Taken King's Dawning event back in 2016. Breshi theorized that this event was meant to go live on January 5, 2016, but when it was scrapped, Bungie scheduled it to go live on January 5, 2025 as a temporary fix and intended to go back later and remove it.

CES 2025 has kicked off, and amidst all of the new tech reveals, Hyperkin has unveiled a new Xbox and PC controller that appears to borrow heavily from the design of the PlayStation DualSense controller. Dubbed the Competitor, this is a wired controller that features some premium hardware inside of it, like Hall Effect analog sticks and triggers. Official pricing and a release date have yet to be revealed, but we'll update this post with preorder links as soon as Hyperkin makes those details public.

Like the DualSense, the Competitor features a similar layout of face buttons, symmetrical analog sticks, and a familiar placement of face buttons (via IGN). The D-pad is also heavily influenced by the DualSense with its transparent buttons and placement, and for extras, two additional inputs on the gamepad's rear can be found. There'll be two variants available for purchase when it launches: a regular black Competitor controller and one with white face-plates to create a two-color tone.

While the Competitor looks like a DualSense controller, it remains to be seen if it'll feel like one. The overall ergonomics look almost identical to its primary inspiration, but the DualSense does feature nuanced haptic feedback features that aren't present in an Xbox controller.

Earlier this month, NetEase Games teased the debut of the Fantastic Four, the first post-launch heroes for Marvel Rivals. Now, the trailer for Marvel Rivals Season 1 has arrived, and it reveals that Marvel's first family of superheroes are facing an unexpected battle with the Lord of the Vampires, Count Dracula. It also appears that the FF may be among the few heroes left who can oppose him.

As seen in the trailer, Dracula has personally taken Dr. Strange out of the picture. More alarmingly, Avengers Tower has fallen, and the familiar A logo on the side of the building has been turned into a V. Each member of the Fantastic Four is also showcased as they push back against Dracula's influence, but the FF won't have to hold back the darkness alone.

The story seems similar to Marvel's recently concluded Blood Hunt crossover, which also left the world enshrouded by darkness as vampires attempted to take over. In the game, Dracula and Doctor Doom achieved this result by disrupting the moon's orbit. New York City has already fallen, and the remaining heroes will stand "together in the epic battle to break the mystical darkness with science."

Despite the fact that the second game in the Citizen Sleeper series hasn't been released yet, the creator said that he's already working on the third entry. However, it won't be what you'd expect.

In an interview with Sports Illustrated, creator Gareth Damian Martin said, "I’m done with video games. Citizen Sleeper 2 has an ending of sorts. I’m working on developing a tabletop game, which will be Citizen Sleeper 3."

Martin adds that he wants to take what he's learned from developing the two Citizen Sleeper games and apply it to something new. "The thing that drew me to making indie video games was that people are so welcoming and excited about new ideas," he explained. "I’m always wanting to propose something new and see how people react, so this will be my next step."

Today is a big day for the WWE, as Raw officially moves to Netflix with tonight's show from Los Angeles. It also marks an end of an era for WWE 2K23. As of now, 2K Games has taken down the game's servers permanently.

2K Games said it was giving WWE 2K23 its "final takedown" last September. The game and its DLC was removed from PlayStation and Xbox's digital storefronts at the beginning of November. Now that the servers are also down, WWE 2K23 will no longer have any online functions, including player-to-player matches or even the Community Creations that allowed fan-made characters to be downloaded.

However, WWE 2K23 will still be available to play offline for anyone who purchased it prior to its removal. This game's fate foreshadows what will eventually befall its successor, WWE 2K24. That game reintroduced the special referee mode and featured 40 Years of WrestleMania, which allowed players to recreate several famous matches from "the showcase of the immortals."

Square Enix has revealed the PC specs for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and it features three default presets based on your setup. However, Square Enix still hasn't confirmed whether the game is verified for Steam Deck.

The specifications are rather reasonable, but the game takes up 155GB of storage, which is quite a lot of space. There are three default settings: Minimum, Recommended, and Ultra. At the minimum settings, the game will run at 30fps at 1080p, while the recommended and ultra settings will run at 60fps at 1080p and 2160p, respectively.

The PC version can go up to 120fps depending on your rig, and includes features such as refined lighting and improved environmental textures. PS5 DualSense as well as keyboard and mouse controls are supported.

Apex Legends Season 23 is halfway through and a mid-season update is bringing a lot of changes to the battle royale. Notably, both Loba and Mirage are getting substantial improvements to their kit--especially Loba--and changes to hop-up attachments are sure to make the already frenetic combat even faster. Even Titanfall 2 fans have a reason to tune in as the EPG-1 grenade launcher from that game is joining Apex Legends through the Rift Relics in casual play.

Loba is definitely the biggest adjustment with this update, however, getting massive buffs to her existing kit that align with the substantial improvements enjoyed by Newcastle and Lifeline at the start of Season 23. Those changes are detailed below:

Season 23 Mid-Season Loba Changes

• Loba's tactical ability (Burglar's Best Friend) is getting a second charge by default and the toss and recovery time are both increasing.
• Loba's ultimate ability (Black Market Boutique) will be available immediately, will deploy faster, will be able to be remotely packed up, and can pick up small meds and ally banners for free.
• Black Market Boutique will be able to steal from Explosive Holds and Vaults once again, and stealing from Vaults won't destroy the Black Market Boutique (alarms still go off)
• Loba will be able to pick the locks on Vaults as an interaction

In addition to these changes, Loba's in-match upgrade paths have been overhauled with one now focused on stealing more items for teammates while the other amplifies her Burglar's Best Friend tactical ability so that she behaves a bit more like a Skirmisher with escape options (akin to Wraith or Alter).
