Sonic the Hedgehog Comic Box Set: Volumes 1-3

$19.92 (was $36) | Eligible for B1G1 50% Off

See at Amazon

Sonic the Hedgehog has had a great run of video games and live-action movies recently, but some of the Blue Blur's best adventures can be found in IDW Publishing's long-running comic book series. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and many other characters from Sega's iconic franchise have starred in over 100 issues since 2018, and you can get dozens of them for cheap right now. The premium Sonic the Hedgehog IDW Collection hardcovers are steeply discounted, and Volumes 1-4 are eligible for Amazon's Buy Two Get One 50% Off Book Sale.

Each Sonic the Hedgehog: The IDW Collection hardcover retails for $60, but if you buy two, you'll wind up paying approximately $25 per book. This is quite the bargain, as each collection includes around 300 pages of full-color comics.

Sonic the Hedgehog: The IDW Collection The first four hardcover collections are B1G1 50% off

If you take advantage of Amazon's B1G1 50% off promotion, Volumes 1 and 2 will cost you just $51.35 total (was $120), while Volumes 3 and 4 are marked down to $48.55 (was $120). The first four hardcovers would normally cost you $240 total, but using the existing discounts and promotions, you can get them for $99.90 in total.

What's really nice about these hardcover editions is that they typically compile three of the standard trade paperback releases--around 12 issues in total--into an oversized format. These make for family-friendly reading as well, as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and new allies join forces to thwart the plans of Dr. Eggman. The series also has incredible art, thanks to a superstar team of illustrators.

The Art of Star Wars: A New Hope - The Manga Vol. 1

$50 | Releases June 16, 2026

Preorder at Amazon

It might have taken decades to be realized, but when Star Wars finally got a manga adaptation in 1997, it was a work of art. Illustrated by mangaka Hisao Tamaki, his work on capturing the magic of Star Wars: Episode 4 - A New Hope into a manga format is being collected into a new art book by Dark Horse Books. Following a successful Kickstarter campaign, Tamaki's original art boards for the adaptation are being collected into a new hardcover release that will be released on June 16, 2026. Priced at $50, The Art of Star Wars: A New Hope - The Manga is now available to preorder through Amazon.

The Art of Star Wars: A New Hope - The Manga Vol. 1 $50 | Releases June 16, 2026

This unique art book features high-resolution scans of Tamaki's original artboards from the first volume of the Star Wars: A New Hope manga. The artwork is presented with all the blemishes and production touches that are normally edited out before print, such as ink bleeds between panels, handwritten notes, and other elements from the illustration process. The art is presented alongside an all-new translation of the original Japanese lettering. The book also includes an in-depth interview with Tamaki.

Preorder at Amazon

The Art of Star Wars: A New Hope - The Manga, Vol. 1 only covers the initial part of the New Hope manga, but the official Star Wars manga series continued beyond Tamaki's run with similar adaptations of The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and the first prequel film, The Phantom Menace--all of which are handled by different artists. The final volume's English version launched in 2015, and for now, there are no signs that the remaining five mainline films will be turned into manga. Nevertheless, the Star Wars manga is a novel way to re-experience (a portion of) the beloved saga. Print versions are hard to find, but you can grab digital Kindle editions of the Star Wars manga's 14-volume run at Amazon.

The mainline Star Wars films aren't the only Star Wars stories to get manga adaptations. There's also an ongoing manga version of the popular Disney+ streaming series The Mandalorian. Illustrated by Yusuke Osawa, the series has three volumes so far, each of which is a word-for-word recreation of the tale of Din Djarin and Grogu.

Tim Burton is responsible for a long list of fantastic films, but few are as highly regarded as Edward Scissorhands, which happens to be celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. To mark the occasion, Disney and 20th Century Fox are finally bringing the film to 4K Blu-ray for the first time with the Edward Scissorhands Limited Edition Steelbook launching on October 28. This new steelbook release includes a 4K UHD version of the film along with a few bonus features. Preorders are available for $41.49 at Amazon.

The Baltimore Ravens have gotten off to a 1-5 start this NFL season, and the coaching staff are apparently making moves to help turn things around, including removing certain items from the locker room, in an effort to help players focus.

According to reports, a series of leisure items--including video games, cornhole boards, a ping pong table, and a basketball hoop--have been removed from the team locker room for the time being.

Writer Sam Cohn of The Baltimore Sun said some Ravens players really enjoyed playing Super Smash Bros. in the locker room, with teammates crowding around to watch, but that's coming to an end for now. Players told The Sun that the coaching staff wanted to remove distractions for the players.

In 2006, Scarface: The World is Yours was released as an alternate timeline sequel to the classic 1983 film starring Al Pacino as Tony Montana. The game has been unavailable for a long time, but it's recently shown up as a pending re-release on Epic Games Store and Steam. However, no one seems to have heard of the publisher, EC Digital, and it's unclear if it's actually happening.

As reported by PC Gamer, Scarface: The World is Yours was accidentally released early on Epic Games Store, and the game page is still active. It's also listed on Steam, which included an explanation for the early release.

"Due to a technical issue during backend configuration, the game was unintentionally pushed live on a different platform earlier than planned. We want to clarify that our intended long-term release platform includes Steam, and we're now accelerating our efforts to finalize this version," the statement reads.

The idea of exclusive games in 2025 is "antiquated," according to Xbox president Sarah Bond. She said in a new interview that people are beginning to "evolve way past" the idea that a game should be exclusive to one store or device.

"The biggest games in the world are available everywhere. You look at Call of Duty, you look at Minecraft, you look at Fortnite, you look at Roblox ... that's actually what's really driving community in gaming. That's where people gather. And the idea of locking it to one store or one device is antiquated for most people," she told Mashable.

"You want to be able to play with your friends anywhere, regardless of what they're on. And we're really leaning into that with this experience [Rog Ally X]. It just opens up another way for you to play, as does cloud, as does PC as do the consoles we all have in the living room," she added.

Electronic Arts and the NFL have announced an "expanded, multi-year exclusive agreement" that will see EA continue to make new Madden games for the foreseeable future. EA said this is the "most comprehensive partnership" to date between the two parties.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but EA said the Madden NFL series will continue and that EA will remain the exclusive developer of "simulation" NFL games. The deal also covers "new content and experiences" for EA's College Football series, along with "new, large-scale interactive experiences for football fans..."

EA and the NFL are staying in business together.

EA and the NFL aren't giving much away about future projects, but the companies teased a "reimagining" of "interactive football experiences." The aim here is to give players the ability to "play, watch, create, and connect."

Has the vast amount of violence featured in modern games--including Call of Duty and Battlefield 6--ever bothered you? Luckily, Battlefield 6 gives players the option to go near-pacifist with how they navigate warfare. One player has racked up a score of over one million with only eight kills.

ThatFriendlyGuyTTV has become the premier medic across online lobbies for Battlefield 6 with over 5,000 revives. He doesn't mess around with vehicles or weapons for the most part, but you can find him sprinting to players in need whenever he gets the chance.

"That's me--I play games without killing to see if it's possible," he wrote in a comment a few days ago on Reddit. "For anyone interested, I'm now level 42 in 25 hours, I mostly finish top 5 scores in the game, most revives in 1 life is 47, I have 40.6% of my time on objective which puts me in the top 0.2% of players."

Gadgets play a major role in whatever class you decide to use in Battlefield 6. They're essentially the pieces of equipment that you spawn into every life with, and if you use them correctly, you can wreak havoc on the enemy team. Every class in Battlefield 6 offers several exclusive Gadgets for you to choose from, and while you can always stick with the default options, there are some better choices that are waiting to be unlocked.

Below, we'll go over the best Gadgets to use for the four classes in Battlefield 6 so you know exactly what to equip on your loadouts. It's worth noting that this guide pairs well with our best weapons in BF6 guide, naturally.

Rematch has been a welcome surprise from developer Sloclap, which repurposed the acrobatic movement and target tracking of martial-arts-inspired fighters Absolver and Sifu to make a cooperative third-person soccer "shooter" game. Rematch is currently in the midst of the first season of its live-service run, which implemented tons of bug fixes and the long-requested Ranked 3v3 mode. One of the most requested features still remains absent, however. Since the game launched, players have clamored for Rematch to have a "rematch" button so that teams can try to get revenge on an opponent. And while the feature isn't coming this season (and may not ever happen), Sloclap is aware of the desire, and it's working on it.

"I'm not in any way going to commit to it, but [a rematch button] was originally planned for Season 2 and now it's more likely planned for Season 3," Rematch creative director Pierre Tarno told me. "The first thing is to work on a 'team up' button. I want to be able to say, 'Those were cool teammates. I enjoyed playing with those guys. There was not any Blue Lock fan roleplaying as a Neo Egoist.' Being able to say to those guys that you want to team up and be a group together is what we're working on first."

The team is still working on adjustments to the moment-to-moment of gameplay as well. Tarno spoke to how tricky fine-tuning Rematch's mechanics are because every change is immediately evident to all players: a problem not evident in most live-service games.

Arc Raiders is a PvPvE third-person extraction shooter set in an apocalyptic future. In this game, you strap on the boots of a scavenger who must collect valuable resources and gear from dangerous territory overrun with deadly robots and human threats. Like most extraction shooters, this game requires considerable risk to reap the best rewards. Our guide will provide you with some helpful tips for looting and staying alive in Arc Raiders.

Matches in Arc Raiders are called Raids, and they last for 30 minutes each. You can play solo or in a party of up to three players. You'll need to loot up and safely extract with your gear before the match ends in order to keep your stuff. If you’re eliminated or fail to extract, you'll lose everything on you--well, mostly everything, but we'll explain more on that below.

Not even quite five years after launching, PS5 has sold more systems in the US than the PS3 ever did. Circana's Mat Piscatella revealed the intriguing tidbit about Sony's current-gen console on BlueSky, though didn't provide exact numbers for comparison.

There were roughly 88 million PS3 systems produced by Sony from 2006 to 2016. In August, Sony revealed that 80 million PS5 units had been sold globally since the console debuted in November 2020. That means it's a question of when, not if PS5 will top PS3 worldwide.

September 2025 US video game data fun fact - The PlayStation 5 has now surpassed the PlayStation 3 in lifetime installed base. So that's cool. Source: Circana Retail Tracking Service. Shout out to Maki on the InstallBase forum for reminding me about this one.

As for other Sony hardware, the company reportedly stopped issuing sales figures for PS4 in 2022, when the system sat at roughly 117 units sold. The PS2 is the best-selling system of all time, with Sony producing over 160 million consoles from 2000 to 2013. There is a chance--though possibly a small one at this point--that Switch could catch up to PS2. As of August, Nintendo had sold more than 153 million Switch systems.

Escape from Duckov, a new PvE top-down shooter from Team Soda that is something of a parody of Escape from Tarkov, is doing quite well on Steam. The duck-themed game launched on October 16 and quickly shot up the Steam charts, going on to sell more than 1 million copies in its first five days.

It has eclipsed more than 550,000 peak concurrent players on Steam, making it one of the platform's most popular games by player count.

"Team Soda is incredibly humbled to have reached such heights, and we owe this success to an incredible community of players and our friends at BiliBili Game," producer Jeff Chen said. "Whether you've been with us through our early days promoting the demo on Steam or are just joining to see what all the quacking is about, thank you."

Battlefield 6's first season will begin on October 28, and the developer has released a Season 1 trailer to showcase the game's new content. Season 1 is packed with new game modes, guns, vehicles, and more maps, with one of the new locations adding golf carts for players to drive into combat across a suburban landscape.

The Season 1 trailer kicks off by showing Battlefield 6's new Blackwell Fields map, which is a massive oil field in California. Like other big maps, players will have access to helicopters, planes, and tanks to cause massive destruction. Blackwell Fields will be the first map to arrive in Season 1, and it also introduces the game's new vehicle called Traverser Mark 2. Blackwell Fields also arrives with three guns: the SOR-300SC carbine, the GGH-22 sidearm, and the Mini Scout sniper rifle.

Season 1 also includes a surprising new vehicle for Battlefield 6. The Eastwood map takes place in suburban California, with players fighting through homes, across pools, and even on a golf course. Given the location, Eastwood offers plenty of drivable golf carts that players can use to traverse the battlefield. You can see some golf cart shenanigans and 10 minutes of Battlefield 6 Season 1 gameplay in the video above.

Pokemon Trainer Electronic Missions, Trivia, and Guessing Games

Check out all of the new Pokemon Trainer interactive toys.

See at Amazon

While Pokemon Legends: Z-A is stealing the spotlight right now, it's not the only fun way to get your Pokemon fix. You'll also find a long list of Pokemon Electronic Games that take you away from your screen for a different kind of adventure. Several of these games are available, but the most exciting one is Pokemon Trainer Mission, which sends you around your home in search of elusive monsters.

Pokemon Trainer Mission $31.30

Pokemon Trainer Mission is an interactive electronic game that gets you up and moving. Using the included Pokemon Detector and Pokemon Map, you'll be guided around your house via lights and voice as you track down a variety of Pokemon. You'll get a chance to embark on 40 missions as you search for 65 Pokemon--and it looks like a cool way for young players to take a break from Z-A and work off some energy. Officially licensed, it should be made to high standards.

This is a new listing for the old Pokemon Mission Trainer, which went out of stock long ago and is now only sold by third-party retailers.

See at Amazon Pokemon Trainer Trivia $28

If you'd rather relax on the couch, check out the Pokemon Trainer Trivia. This electronic game is loaded with 1,000 questions and can be played solo or with friends. There are also three difficulty levels, so whether you're a Pokemon newcomer or grizzled veteran, you'll find questions that put your knowledge to the test.

See at Amazon Pokemon Trainer Expert: Guessing Board Game $30.79

Think you know your Pokemon? Then put your memory to the test with this guessing game. The electronic toy will spit out clues about a specific Pokemon--then you need to use those clues to guess the Pokemon before your opponents. There's also a solo mode if you prefer to brush up on your skills before taking on your friends and family. Along with the electronic toy, this bundle comes with a playing surface depicting 151 Pokemon and a few tokens to track the action.

See at Amazon Pokemon Trainer Guess $28

This is essentially the opposite of the Pokemon Trainer Expert: Guessing Board Game. Instead of the electronic toy giving you clues, you'll pick a Pokemon and it'll ask you questions--before finally guessing which Pokemon you selected. It comes with a Trainer Field Guide, so you can check off the Pokemon as you go. Five different versions of this are available, each covering a different catalog of monsters:

• Kanto Edition -- $28
• Legacy Edition -- $28
• Ash Adventures -- $27.55
• Sinnoh Edition -- $28
• Unova Edition -- $27

With almost two weeks on the market now, it's likely you encountered a bot or two in your online matches while playing Battlefield 6. Well, the team plans to reduce the number of bots filling the lobbies with a new update planned for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Battlefield Studios--a collection of EA teams working on the Battlefield franchise that includes Criterion, DICE, Motive, and Ripple Effect--took to X on October 21 to share the news. In the brief post, the developers explained that "several backend updates" are coming to facilitate more players and fewer bots in the servers.

We’re in the process of deploying several backend updates aimed at improving community experiences and encouraging more player-filled servers. A more detailed update explaining these changes is targeted for tomorrow.
As part of this effort, we’re implementing several backend…

— Battlefield Comms (@BattlefieldComm) October 22, 2025

Alongside addressing the bot problem, the developers said there are other "backend changes" planned for Battlefield 6 to make matchmaking healthier and curb XP farming. It's unclear exactly when these "changes" and "updates" will come, but the team said a "more detailed update" outlining the work being done on the military shooter is scheduled to drop on October 22. At the time of writing, however, no update has come out. That said, we'll monitor the Battlefield Comms X account and update this story whenever the update is revealed.

Borderlands 4 was one of the most-anticipated titles of 2025, and that helped carry the title to a record launch last month. According to Circana, Borderlands 4 didn't just set a franchise record in September, it also became the third highest-selling video game in the US for 2025.

Circana's Mat Piscatella‬ shared the sales charts for September 2025 in the US, and Borderlands 4 topped the Xbox Series X|S and PC charts, while coming in at No. 3 on PlayStation's list. Specific sales numbers weren't included in the charts, but Piscatella noted that Borderlands 4 "generated the highest launch month dollar sales of any title in franchise history, nearly 30% higher than the previous best, Borderlands 3."

However, it remains to be seen if that momentum was retained in October. PC players have been very vocal about the game's optimization issues. Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford challenged players' negative reviews on social media and even suggested that they should get a refund. Pitchford went on to offer optimization tips, while Gearbox has put forth an unusual step to handle recurring problems on the game's PC port. The company subsequently released a new Borderlands 4 patch to tackle some of the game's stability and performance issues.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion will officially launch on December 1, and two more characters are joining its roster. Tribute Games and developer Dotemu revealed that Phoenix and Iron Man will team up with fellow heroes like Captain America, She-Hulk, Wolverine, and Spider-Man, increasing the total number of playable heroes to 15. Phoenix--X-man Jean Grey's cosmic powerhouse alter-ego--can dish out telekinetic blasts, while Iron Man uses bleeding-edge technology to clear the field of enemies.

First revealed at Summer Game Fest earlier this year, Marvel Cosmic Invasion sees Earth's mightiest mortals take on Annihilus as he launches a new campaign to take over the galaxy. Dotemu had previously worked on another licensed property, the well-received Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge for PC and console.

The Marvel game has a beat-'em-up design at its core, and each character can pull off unique attacks. There's also the Cosmic Swap system, which allows players to harness each hero's superpowers and special abilities to create unique team-up attacks. Like its work on TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, the game has a pixel-art style designed to capture the spirit of classic Marvel games from the classic arcade era. Marvel Cosmic Invasion will launch for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Switch consoles.
