The first Peanuts comic strip was published in 1950, and almost eight decades later, it remains a staple of pop culture. To celebrate its 75th anniversary, The Essential Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz was released on October 7, offering a deep dive into the history and legacy of both the iconic comic and its creator. Despite just releasing a few days ago, it's already on sale for $63 (was $75) and is part of Amazon's buy two, get one free sale (which features books, Blu-rays, toys, and more).

The Essential Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz (Hardcover) $63 (was $75)

This 336-page hardcover book features over 700 images related to the Peanuts, including comic strips and other creations from Schulz. It comes with additional insight from award-winning author Mark Evanier (he also worked on the animated TV show, Garfield and Friends), a forward from Jean Schulz, and various commentary from other folks close to the Peanuts universe.

As a bonus, the hardcover bundle comes with:

  • Iron-on patch
  • Full-color comic book
  • Slipcase
  • 8 prints
  • 5 vinyl stickers
  • 8 postcards

That's a wealth of content for just $63--and when you consider it's also part of the B2G1 free event at Amazon, it makes the hardcover a truly enticing offer.

If you decide to partake in Amazon's B2G1 free event, consider bundling The Essential Peanuts with The Complete Calvin and Hobbes and The Complete Far Side. The former is a four-volume collection of every Calvin and Hobbes comic from 1985 to 1995, while the latter is a three-volume collection featuring all 4,000+ Far Side comics. Both are well over 1,000 pages, and if you pick up all three, you should have more than enough comics to keep you busy through the end of 2025.

The Essential Peanuts didn't arrive alone when it released on October 7. It launched alongside the Peanuts: 75th Anniversary Ultimate TV Specials Collection on Blu-ray. Available for $73 (was $77), it offers 40 TV specials and a 28-page collectible booklet--making it a nice complement to the hardcover collection. Unlike the previous items, this one isn't part of the B2G1 free event.

Indiana Jones And The Great Circle Getting Free Update With New Game Plus

Fri, 10/10/2025 - 02:52

To celebrate 15 years as a studio, MachineGames has announced an anniversary update for Indiana Jones and The Great Circle that will add New Game Plus to the adventure game tomorrow, October 10. In addition, the free patch will feature an outfit from Raiders of the Lost Ark, voice language select, and other general fixes.

On the game's website, MachineGames notes that New Game Plus and the Cairo outfit were highly requested from the community. New Game Plus unlocks after completing the main story and will let players keep their unlocked Adventure Books. Since Indy should be stronger, MachineGames recommends pushing the difficulty up a notch. Last but not least, there's a new after-credits scene for players who finish Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on New Game Plus.

Meanwhile, the Cairo outfit sees Indy jacketless, and MachineGames is teasing more looks for the archaeologist over the coming months. As for the voice language select, the developer states: "You can mix and match any of the nine available voice languages with any of the 14 text languages."

Xbox Co-Founder Calls Game Pass Price Hike A "Betrayal"

Fri, 10/10/2025 - 02:37

Longtime Xbox devotees have recently seen several former exclusive games go to PlayStation 5, while Microsoft has raised prices on Game Pass and Xbox consoles in the US. Now, one of Xbox's original team members, Laura Fryer, is calling out her former employer and describing the price increases as a "betrayal" of the trust that gamers placed in them.

"With this latest increase to Game Pass, Xbox threw away one of their last advantages," said Fryer in her latest YouTube video. "They were the best deal in gaming... With these price hikes, it feels like a betrayal, like greed over gaming... I recognize that this Xbox console generation isn't over yet, it's almost certainly going to be remembered first and foremost for Microsoft's greed."

Fryer went on to recap the two hardware price increases this generation, three separate Game Pass price increases, more expensive games, massive layoffs, and multiple studio layoffs.

New Lego Batman Sets Revealed, Including Three Batmobiles

You might want to make some space in your Batcave, because Lego just revealed several new Lego Batman Batmobiles kits based on the vehicles seen in Batman & Robin, Batman v Superman, and The Batman, along with a new Batman Logo model. The four new sets arrive next year on March 1, 2026, just ahead of the new Lego Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight game. They even come bundled with digital codes to unlock content in the game. All four are available to preorder now at Amazon and the Lego Store.

Batman & Robin Batmobile (272 pieces) $30 | Releases March 1, 2026

Batman & Robin might not be everyone's favorite Dark Knight movie, but it had a heck of a Batmobile that looked like a heavy stylized drag-racer. This Lego kit captures the sleek body and the swooping wings of that vehicle, and for extras, it comes with a Batman minifigure with a fabric cape and a commemorative golden coin to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Lego Batman.

See at Lego Store Batman V Superman Batmobile (220 pieces) $30 | Releases March 1, 2026

The Batmobile seen in Zack Snyder's DC Universe movies was a marvel of engineering when it wasn't being demolished by the Last Son of Krypton or Parademons. This set captures the rugged look of that Batmobile, and it features a front-mounted, non-functioning shooter, opening cockpit, and stickers ton create the headlights. The set includes a Batman minifigure outfitted in his Superman-pummeling armor and a commemorative golden coin.

See at Amazon See at Lego Store The Batman Batmobile (330 pieces) $30 | Releases March 1, 2026

The most recent incarnation of the Batmobile on the big screen roars into life as a 330-piece set. Once fully constructed, this model features a removable roof that gives you easy access to the cockpit, a detailed engine bay, a Batman minifigure, and another golden commemorative coin for your collection.

See at Lego Store Batman Logo (678 pieces) $80 | Releases March 1, 2026

The final bat-reveal is a big one--literally! This massive set is a reconstruction of Batman's iconic symbol, and it can be displayed on its stand or mounted to a wall using the built-in supports. What sets this model apart are the small details, as it features decorations based on well-known items from the DC Universe as greebling. You'll also get the golden anniversary coin with this set, a golden Batman minifigure, a code to unlock the golden batsuit in the Lego Batman game, and a regular Batman minifigure.

See at Amazon See at Lego Store

The kits above are all designed to be quick and affordable sets, but for something really cool, the Lego Batmobile based on Adam West's incarnation of the superhero is a work of art. Currently available for $142.69 (was $150), this is a larger model that brings the Batmobile to life with various nods to the source material. There's the iconic black body and red piping, molded windshields, authentic details, and a minifigure of the Batman from a groovier era of TV.

We'd also recommend grabbing a few more Batmobiles for the collection, just to create an impressive Bat-garage of wonderful toys. Some of our favorites include the sleek blue Batmobile from Batman: The Animated Series, the Tumbler from the Dark Knight Trilogy for its tank-like design, and the Batmobile from Batman Forever that featured a unique look with its exposed chassis and blue lights.

Battlefield 6 Day-One Patch Notes Include These 200 Changes And Fixes

Fri, 10/10/2025 - 02:10

As announced previously, Battlefield 6 is getting a major day-one patch that includes 200+ changes, fixes, and improvements, and now Battlefield Studios has published the full patch notes. You can also read GameSpot's Battlefield 6 review to see our thoughts about the game so far. The Battlefield 6 global release times have also been announced.

Patch 1.0.1.0 includes a "wide range of updates and improvements" based in part on feedback from the Battlefield 6 open beta weekends earlier this year and the Battlefield Labs tests. Some of the major updates for the day-one patch include "refined" movement, which lowers jump height and reduces slide-to-jump momentum. The patch also increases weapon inaccuracy when firing while jumping or sliding and increases penalties for repeatedly jumping.

Battlefield Studios also addressed weapon handling with a rebalance update and "general recoil tuning." What's more, the developer changed the layouts for Rush and Breakthrough modes to offer "better balance" between attackers and defenders. Some of the Battlefield 6 maps, meanwhile, have received lighting adjustments and seen updates for "better traversal."

Black Ops 7 Multiplayer Will Be Non-SBMM By Default At Launch

Fri, 10/10/2025 - 01:43

One of the most popular elements of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's multiplayer beta has been its "open" playlists, which only include "minimal skill consideration," or, in essence, little or no SBMM. Now, Activision has confirmed that this will be the default for Black Ops 7 multiplayer at launch, and it's something that some part of the audience has been requesting for years.

"At launch, open matchmaking with minimal skill consideration will be the default for Black Ops 7 multiplayer. Simply put, imagine the matchmaking experience of Open Moshpit from the beta, but as the standard in Black Ops 7 on day one," Activision said in a blog post.

"Our team feels strongly about providing players with a more varied experience, and the beta proved to be a great opportunity to test this approach."

See at Square Enix Store

Two of the best RPGs on PS5 will soon be available in a convenient new bundle, as the Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and Rebirth Twin Pack Physical Edition is set to arrive on December 4. Its name is a mouthful, but it's shaping up to be the easiest way for players to catch up on the first two entries in the planned trilogy. It's only releasing for PS5, but preorders should be opening soon--and we're expecting the twin pack to be quite popular.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and Rebirth Twin Pack Physical Edition $60

This Twin Pack gets you both Remake Intergrade and Rebirth across three discs. Its price is aligned with the digital edition, which is currently on sale for $60 (was $100) on the PlayStation Store. If you're a collector, having this unique two-pack is mighty enticing, and if you're a newcomer to the series, this looks like one of the easiest ways to dive into some of the best Final Fantasy games ever made.

Sony's "Future Console" Tech Teases A Glimpse Of The PS6 - But It's All Simulated For Now

Fri, 10/10/2025 - 01:19

A new video with PS5 lead architect Mark Cerny and AMD SVP Jack Huynh has shed more light on the technology that could potentially power the yet-to-be-announced PlayStation 6 console. AMD and Sony have been collaborating through Project Amethyst, an initiative designed to push gaming technology forward, and Cerny added that he's really excited to bring recent breakthroughs to a "future console."

Expect a "game-changer" in future upscaling technologies

According to Cerny and Huynh, there have been three big developments recently. Cerny explained that current technologies like FSR and PSSR are extremely demanding on GPUs and system memory. The first new concept revealed was Neural Arrays, which Hyunh explained was designed to overcome inefficiencies encountered by subdividing neural network problems across many compute units. Neural Arrays allow compute units to "team up" and share data, and the end result here is that this can lead to better FSR and ray tracing effects, more efficiency, and better scalability as a workload grows.

"Neural Arrays will allow us to process a large chunk of the screen in one go, and the efficiencies that come from that are going to be a game-changer as we begin to develop the next generation of upscaling and denoising technologies together," Cerny explained.

Animal Crossing Imitator Pops Up On PSN, Alongside A Last Of Us Lookalike

Fri, 10/10/2025 - 01:13

Say hello to Anime Village Online, a new game set for 2027 that has a PSN listing. Coming from developer GamePoc, the title has some striking similarities to Nintendo's Animal Crossing franchise. The notable resemblance includes the character design (especially the eyes), the game's name, as well as the fact that it's built around decorating, fishing, and growing crops.

GamePoc hasn't released a game before, but the developer also has a listing for Rooted: Survival that features imagery that looks a great deal like The Last of Us. GameSpot reached out to GamePoc CEO Wisnu Sudirman about these projects; Sudirman responded that both games are real.

The PlayStation Store features this screenshot for Anime Village Online, which bears similarities to Nintendo's Animal Crossing franchise.

"Regarding the similarities mentioned: While it's true that Rooted: Survival shares post-apocalyptic themes like zombies and survival elements, which are also found in The Last of Us, and Anime Village Online may evoke a life-simulation vibe similar to Animal Crossing, our games are built with distinct goals and mechanics in mind," Sudirman said in an email.

Battlestar Galactica: Prime Big Deal Days See all Battlestar Deals Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series on Blu-ray (2004) $51.49 (was $100)

The 21-disc Blu-ray box set collects all 76 episodes that aired on Syfy (then Sci-Fi Channel) from 2003 to 2009. The collection also comes with the two TV films released during its run: Battlestar Galactica: Razor and The Plan, which served as the series finale. Each episode and movie is displayed in its original aspect ratio in 1080p HD and supports DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround sound.

All four seasons and The Plan are accompanied by a ton of bonus content, including documentaries, behind-the-scenes featurettes, web series episodes, mini episodes, audio commentaries, and a bunch more.

This reimagining of Battlestar Galactica kept the basic plot of the original series and detailed how the remnants of humanity were in a desperate fight for survival against the synthetic Cylon race. After the Cylons succeeded in wiping out billions of humans who had colonized a cluster of planets, the survivors flee to the Battlestar Galactica and begin a long trek in search of a fabled thirteenth colony known as Earth.

Despite its low-budget beginnings, Battlestar Galactica quickly earned rave reviews for its high-quality production, ensemble cast, and its examination of what it means to be human amidst several other high-level concepts.

This 4K Blu-ray released in 2023, and it's a rather interesting release. The "movie" is a modified version of the original's three-part pilot, Saga of a Star World.

Battlestar Galactica debuted theatrically in Canada before the pilot even aired in the United States. For longtime Battlestar fans, this is a cool way to watch a re-edited version of the pilot in 4K resolution for the first time. Just keep in mind that Saga of a Star World is included in The Remastered Collection on standard Blu-ray. In any case, the 4K edition is only $12, which is the best price we've seen.

Magic: The Gathering's Head Designer Admits He's Still Trying To Like The Commander Format

Thu, 10/09/2025 - 07:27

Mark Rosewater, head designer for Magic: The Gathering at Wizards of the Coast, has designed cards for all of Magic's playable formats. At MagicCon Atlanta, during a question and answer session with press, Rosewater spoke candidly about his experience with the game, including one interesting tidbit: He's not a fan of Commander, the most popular format currently available to MTG players.

One question Rosewater received was about player fatigue with Universes Beyond--Magic's regular collaborations with outside intellectual property. Rosewater said he understands players who aren't fully on-board with the crossover sets, because he isn't fully on-board with some of the other popular things Magic is doing--especially the Commander format.

Marvel Super Heroes, Magic's next Marvel-themed expansion.

"I'm not a Commander fan," Rosewater said. "To me, Magic is a strategic game. I love it because I win when I'm outthinking my opponent. Commander is not a strategic game. It is a political game; you're playing the people."

The Minds Behind Magic: The Gathering Say They're Making It For Anyone, Not Everyone

Thu, 10/09/2025 - 07:18

There's a simple mantra that permeates every interview or question and answer session conducted during the MagicCon weekend: Magic is for everyone, but that doesn't mean everyone's going to love everything the team puts out. While universal acclaim would be great, the creative teams say that this simply isn't possible.

At MagicCon Atlanta, two key panels laid bare the company's short- and long-term plans for the decades-old card game. The Preview Panel announced all but one of the expansions coming to the game in 2026--four of which will be Universes Beyond collaboration sets--while the Secret Lair panel announced over a dozen new limited-time drops set to launch throughout the month of October, featuring names like Jaws, Furby, Iron Maiden, The Office, and multiple PlayStation franchises.

While the reaction in the room for these panels was marked with excitement, the deluge of Universes Beyond collaborations mixed in with the in-universe Magic fans love led to a fair bit of trepidation among the fanbase. One viral post from a competitive Magic player leaned heavily on the in vogue insult "slop," while the YouTube content creation community made their thoughts known acros smultiple videos.
