NBC Really Wants To Make Its Own Wordle Show - Report
Have you been completing your daily Wordle challenge every day since the end of 2021, when the spelling puzzler first launched? If so, you may be the perfect candidate for the new game show that NBC is piloting. Deadline has reported that the show is being filmed in the United Kingdom.
Savannah Guthrie, known for her role on NBC's Today show and other journalistic work, will host the show. The project comes from Jimmy Fallon’s Electric Hot Dog company, Universal Television Alternative Studio, and The New York Times. Fallon, who has said he is "addicted" to Wordle on The Tonight Show, will serve as an executive producer.
This show follows The New York Times’ acquisition of the Wordle, which was originally created by Welsh software engineer Josh Wardle in 2022. The daily puzzle is still hugely popular. Last year, it was played 5.3 billion times, up from 4.8 billion in 2023. Everyone plays it, even Pope Leo.

Activision has announced that a new free trial for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will begin on October 9, which is just one day before EA's Battlefield 6 launches on October 10.
The free period runs for a week, ending on October 16. During the free period, people can play the campaign, multiplayer, and Zombies, along with the new content coming to the game for The Haunting event. October 9 also marks the debut of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 6.
It's pretty common for Activision to launch a free trial around the time of a new season launch, as the company likes to give players a taste of the new content to convince them to buy the game or subscribe to Game Pass. The timing with the Battlefield 6 launch looks like a coincidence.

One year ago this week, Bloober Team's remake of Konami's classic survival-horror title Silent Hill 2 was released on consoles and PC. Now, the critically acclaimed reboot is reportedly heading to PS Plus Extra later this month.
According to Dealabs (via Insider Gaming), Silent Hill 2 will arrive on PS Plus Extra on October 21, "barring any last-minute surprises." This has yet to be confirmed by Sony, but if true, it would bring the game to the service just in time for Halloween.
Like the 2001 original game, the Silent Hill 2 remake puts players in control of James Sunderland, a man who is lured to Silent Hill by a letter seemingly written by his late wife, Mary, three years after she died. But instead of a loving reunion, James finds a personal hellscape of his own creation. That story also serves as a basis for the upcoming live-action sequel, Return to Silent Hill, which will be out in theaters on January 23, 2026.

Disney Hocus Pocus: The Sanderson Sisters' Cottage
$172.50 (was $230) | Will be retired soon
See at Walmart See at Lego Store See at AmazonHocus Pocus might be a cult-classic Halloween movie, but surprisingly, we've only seen it get a single Lego set. Fortunately, this is an impressive kit, and if you're interested, you might want to grab it before it's officially retired from the Lego catalogue. Walmart is currently offering it for $172.49, saving you $57.50 in total. In case it sells out, the Lego Store also has the set at the same price, while Amazon is completely sold out of them.
Disney Hocus Pocus: The Sanderson Sisters' Cottage $172.50 (was $230) | Will be retired soonInside the box you'll find 2,316 pieces that can be used to reconstruct the infamous hut of the Sanderson sisters--Winifred, Sarah, and Mary--as well as minifigures of the diabolical trio. You'll also get minifigures of Max Dennison, Dani Dennison, Allison Watts, and Thackery Binx in his feline form.
The Sanderson cottage is the main attraction here, and it's full of small details like a cauldron with LED-bricks, an old tree that has seen better days, and a small graveyard. The roof of the house is on a hinge, so you can open it up and peer inside to see various rooms and all the accessories within them.
Once fully constructed, the cottage measures over 10 inches high, 10 inches wide, and nine inches deep. The gate and graveyard component can also be used as a display stand for all the characters.
See at Walmart See at Lego Store See at Amazon Hocus Pocus (4K Blu-ray) $23
Hocus Pocus got a 4K Blu-ray release in 2020, so if you're looking for some appropriately themed background noise while you build this Lego kit, you can get the movie for $23. The 4K version brings the 1993 film to life with a sharp remaster that's noticeably improved when compared to the included standard Blu-ray disc, but the downside here is that special features are almost non-existent. All you're getting here is a picture-in-picture trivia feature and a featurette pulled from the DVD archives.
See at Amazon The Hocus Pocus Spellbook $6.95 (was $15)
Another piece of merchandise you can check out is the Hocus Pocus Spellbook. This is a 240-page hardcover book that is packed with illustrations, instructions on how to brew potions, and comments from Winnie, Mary, and Sarah. The book is designed to look like it was pulled from a bookshelf in the Sanderson household, and it's suitable for children aged 10 and up.

The mini-replica of Darth Vader's helmet has had a long run since it was first introduced in 2021, but this 834-piece display model of the Sith Lord's signature headgear won't be around much longer. It's still a bestseller according to Amazon, and when it's not on sale, it normally retails for $80.

Meta Quest Elite Strap (with Battery)
See at AmazonMeta Quest 3S Breathable Facial Interface
See at Amazon See at AmazonIf you're considering getting into VR gaming, the Meta Quest 3 and 3S are ideal starting points, thanks to their affordability and user-friendly all-in-one setups compared to other high-end VR headsets. For those who've recently purchased one of Meta's flagship VR devices (which also happen to be on sale right now), you can pick up several helpful Meta Quest 3 and 3S accessories at a discount thanks to Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event. The price cuts include upgraded headwear like the Meta Quest Elite Strap for $56 (was $70), and helpful components like the Quest Link Cable for $64 (was $80), which lets you connect the normally standalone headsets to your gaming PC. There are a few other Meta Quest VR accessories included in Amazon's sale, and we've rounded them all up in the list below.
Meta Quest Elite Strap $56 (was $70)Let's be honest, the default Meta Quest head strap just isn't very comfortable. Especially if you're going to be in VR land for longer sessions. That's why we recommend grabbing one of Meta's upgradable straps while they're on sale for Prime Big Deal Days. The base version of the Meta Quest Elite strap is just $56 during the sale (that's about $15 off the usual price), and brings enhanced, adjustable comfort to your headset thanks to its nifty dial that'll help you get a precise fit. It'll take some of the pressure off of your face, and comes with a silicone backing that cradles the back of your head. Just be aware that if you have a carrying case for your Meta Quest 3 or 3S, the headset won't fit inside while the Elite Strap is attached.
See at Amazon Meta Quest Elite Strap (with Battery) $104 (was $130)The upgraded version of the Meta Quest Elite Strap comes with a built-in battery pack that'll get you up to two hours of extra play time, which is probably worth it if you're planning on having multi-hour-long VR sessions (just beware of motion sickness). It also includes all the perks of the base Elite Strap, including the adjustment dial and ergonomic silicone backing. For Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, you can snag one for $104, saving you $26 in total.
See at Amazon Meta Quest 3S Breathable Facial Interface $32 (was $40)It can get a little hot inside your VR headset if you're in there for an extended play session. Thankfully, Meta's mesh facial attachment can keep you cool and comfortable while you play, and it's only $32 for Prime Big Deal Days ($8 in savings). The breathable design allows for better ventilation during use, and the flexible frame will let you get a more snug and supportive fit so you can play much longer.
See at Amazon Meta Quest Link Cable $64 (was $80)If you're going to be using your PC as your main VR gaming hub, you'll need a long and sturdy cable to help keep your head in the game (literally). Meta Quest's Link Cable is $16 off (just $64) for Prime Big Deal Days, and comes with 16 feet of slack, a capacity of up to 5Gbps, and a fiber optic design that keeps the cord light and flexible while you play.
See at AmazonAs mentioned above, the Meta Quest 3 and 3S VR headsets are also part of Amazon's 48-hour Prime Big Deal Days event. During the sale, you can grab multiple models of the standard Meta Quest 3S at a discount, including the 128GB model that comes with exclusive in-game content for the multiplayer VR game Gorilla tag for $249 (was $299), or the beefier 256GB model bundled with Batman Arkham Shadow for $330 (normally $400). Along with the headsets and digital download codes these bundles also include a pair of wireless controllers and a charging cable, plus a 3-month subscription to Meta Horizon+, which offers access to dozens of VR games at no additional cost. That gets you everything you need to use the headsets right out of the box--but don't forget to check out the accessory deals listed above, too. Be sure to also check GameSpot's Prime Big Deal Days Hub or even more discounts on hardware, video games, Blu-rays, and plenty else.

New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe $40 (was $60)
New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe is a remaster of the old Wii U title from 2012. It offers updated graphics, the New Super Luigi U expansion, new items, and other quality-of-life upgrades. You'll get to explore over 160 levels through nine unique worlds, each with its own enemies, aesthetics, and power-ups. Part of what makes the game so fun is its cooperative play, which allows up to four players to tackle its 2D levels together. For players new to platformers, they can play as Nabbit (who is practically invincible and makes it easy for newcomers to learn the ropes).
See at Amazon
As a bonus, you'll find three additional game modes--Boost Rush, Challenges, and Coin Battle--offering plenty of replay value once you've made it through the core content. The game is always an easy recommendation for Mario fans, but at this new price, it's the ideal time to cross it off your wishlist. New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe has only dropped below this price point a few times since its release--and with this deal expiring at the end of Big Deal Days on October 8, be sure to check it out soon.

It's a matter of days now before Battlefield 6 comes out, so EA is celebrating with not just a launch trailer, but a "launch hype trailer." The new video for the FPS features all sorts of explosions, demolition, crashing helicopters, and even a soldier wielding a sledgehammer for a deadly attack.
Seen below, the Battlefield 6 launch trailer is all about showing off large-scale warfare. We see buildings getting blown up, aerial combat, and tanks rolling around. The action has a rendition of Limp Bizkit's "Break Stuff" in the background, with the lyrics "give me something to break" shouted throughout. In addition, the video mixes press quotes with popular streamer reactions. TimTheTatman is the first figure highlighted, which is funny in a way considering he previously had his own Call of Duty operator bundle at one point.
Battlefield 6 will receive a beefy day-one patch that includes over 200 changes, such as balance improvements and bug fixes. In a blog post for the update, Battlefield Studios also hinted that naval warfare could come to the game in the future.

Square Enix recently announced that Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade will be coming to Switch 2 and Xbox--and with it, new "streamlined progression features." These are essentially cheats that let players skip the grind and finish the game much more quickly. The idea is to make the experience smoother and more accessible, especially for people playing it for the first time.
The decision to add these features came directly from game director Naoki Hamaguchi. In an interview with (and translated by) Automaton, he explained that he pushed hard for their inclusion. His reasoning? He believes players should have the freedom to enjoy games however they want, whether that's taking their time or speeding through the story.
"Naturally, when we announce features like these, we get responses like, 'This is sacrilegious!'" Hamaguchi said. "Even within the dev team, there are people who feel that way. But unless someone takes the initiative, it doesn't happen."

In The Witcher Season 4, Geralt, Yennefer (Anya Chalotra), and Ciri (Freya Allan) have embarked on diverging paths. "They stumble on unexpected allies eager to join their journeys. And if they can accept these found families, they just might have a chance at reuniting for good," reads a line from the show's description.
The Witcher Season 4 debuts October 30 on Netflix. There are eight episodes in Season 2, and each is about 50 minutes long. The show's creator, showrunner, and executive producer is Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, who returns in those roles from the past three seasons.

While Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is adding wall-jumping to players' repertoire of advanced movement options, developer Treyarch isn't taking a page from its 2015 futuristic title Black Ops 3 by incorporating wall-running or Thrust Jumps for one simple reason: It's too early for that.
Speaking to GamesRadar, Treyarch associate creative director Miles Leslie reiterated that Black Ops 7, which takes place in the year 2035, is more of a direct follow-up to 2012's Black Ops 2, which took place in the then-far-fetched future of 2025.
"Since we knew we were going back into that timeline, Black Ops 2 really gave us a foundation for the technology available," Leslie said. Meanwhile, Black Ops 3 takes place further into the future in the year 2065, giving Treyarch some canonical limitations on where to take its Omnimovement systems. In other words, wall-running just isn't possible in the time Black Ops 7 takes place in.

The Lord of the Rings Deluxe Illustrated Box Set
See at Amazon See at Walmart
We saw a bunch of stellar deals on J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth novels and stories in the lead-up to Prime Big Deal Days, but Amazon fittingly saved the biggest discount for the big day (well, the first of two big days). The Lord of the Rings Deluxe Illustrated Box Set is on sale for only $108.30 at Amazon and Walmart. That's a $216.70 discount from the lavish box set's $325 launch price last October. Amazon's deal is exclusive to Prime members , but Walmart is matching the offer--no membership required. The $108.30 price is over $20 cheaper than the previous all-time low price of $132.
The Deluxe Illustrated Box Set is an absolutely stunning three-volume edition of LOTR's Centenary Edition illustrated by Alan Lee. As someone who personally owns this edition of The Lord of the Rings--sadly, I paid considerably more for my copy--I think all big Tolkien fans would love to have this in their collection. So if you have a Lord of the Rings fan on your shopping list, the Deluxe Illustrated Box Set would make for a wonderful gift this holiday.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD (Nintendo Switch)
See at AmazonIf you're looking for an epic adventure to get you through the cold months ahead, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD on Switch fits the bill. While it's not as sweeping in scale as Tears of the Kingdom or Breath of the Wild, it'll still take a solid 40 hours to complete (and much longer if you want to unlock all its secrets). Best of all, the hit game is down to just $40 (was $60) for Prime Big Deal Days. This is by far the lowest price of the year, and it's close to its lowest price ever (the game hit $38.50 way back in 2023). Quantities are limited--at the time of writing, 24% had already been claimed.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD (Nintendo Switch) $40 (was $60)
Skyward Sword was originally released for the Nintendo Wii in 2011. A decade later, it would be re-released on Nintendo Switch as Skyward Sword HD. Benefiting from updated graphics, simplified controls, an autosave feature, and a streamlined introduction sequence, it's arguably the best way to experience the iconic adventure. This deal is for a physical copy of the Switch game, but the offer won't stick around forever. We're expecting it to disappear at the end of Big Deal Days, though quantities are limited, and it very well looks like it'll sell out sooner. Note that Skyward Sword HD will run on both Switch and Switch 2.

Our Skyward Sword HD review awarded the game a 7/10, thanks to its clever dungeons, excellent story, and heaps of quality of life improvements that make it more enjoyable than its predecessor.

This is not the first adaptation of the board game, as writer John Landis wrote the 1985 movie Clue starring Tim Curry, Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean, Martin Mull, Lesley Ann Warren, Madeline Kahn, and Eileen Brennan. The film only made $14 million at the box office but found more success on home video. The film had three different endings, and different theaters got different endings; the home video release included all three.
