Get deal at Amazon

A large selection of Star Wars Lego sets are on sale ahead of next week's Prime Big Deal Days sale. Amazon's deals include a bunch of new Star Wars building sets released over the past few months. Arguably the most notable recent model on sale is the Brick-Built Star Wars Logo. The 700-piece replica display model was already a budget-friendly option at its $60 MSRP, but now it's on sale for only $50. The Brick-Built Logo is one of several Star Wars Day 2025 Lego sets up for grabs for below MSRP.

Lego Brick-Built Star Wars Logo (700 Pieces) $50 (was $60)

The Brick-Built Star Wars Logo accurately depicts the legendary design that dates back to Star Wars: A New Hope's 1977 theatrical release. Exposed studs between the letters add depth and make it clear that this is a Lego set. The rounded edges of the logo are cleverly recreated with a variety of yellow pieces. There's an Easter Egg hidden inside the letter T that pays homage to Episode IV.

The completed 700-piece model measures 5 x 11.5 x 1 inches. If you're looking for a Star Wars model to serve as a centerpiece for your display shelf, it probably doesn't get any more ideal than the series logo constructed from Lego.

The Brick-Built Star Wars Logo launched a few months after the 913-piece Lego Marvel Logo set. That one has yet to be discounted from its $100 price, and it comes with five Marvel minifigures that pop out by pressing buttons on the model.

For the first time since it began running its annual small-scale Rainbow Royale event to celebrate members of the LGBTQIA+ community four years ago, Fortnite skipped its Pride celebration in 2025.

For each year since 2021, Fortnite has held its annual Pride event, Rainbow Royale, sometime during the summer. It was never a particularly huge event, as it mainly consisted of a pile of free rainbow-colored items in the item shop, like the Take a 'Bow and The Dip emotes. In 2022, they even had a Pride-themed battle bus and a few quests that you could complete to unlock a cool weapon wrap and hammer pickaxe, and dropped a skin for DC's Dreamer, a transgender superhero, in the item shop as part of the celebration, but that was as involved as it ever got. The annual Pride event wasn't exactly a takeover, since it never involved gameplay changes in Battle Royale. Last year the whole thing was only a shop section, which popped up for a week in both June and September.

Fortnite used to celebrate Pride.

In 2025, though, Fortnite has skipped Rainbow Royale completely. For the first time since Epic introduced the event, Fortnite has made it to October without anything related to Rainbow Royale appearing in the game. None of the free Pride items have been available in the shop during this calendar year thus far. The Mazy skin, a paid cosmetic that is usually included in the Rainbow Royale shop section, has popped up in the item shop by itself on just one single day in 2025.

Games based on Dungeons & Dragons aren't anything new, but it's no secret that Larian Studios' Baldur's Gate 3 did a lot to popularize video games in which you roll dice. In the wake of Baldur's Gate 3, Wizard of the Coast invested $1 billion into its gaming ecosystem, partnering with several different developers to create their own takes on D&D, such as Tactical Adventures' very D&D Fifth Edition-coded Solasta II and an unnamed, single-player D&D game from Star Wars Jedi director Stig Asmussen's new studio. Unless WotC does a mass cancellation (like the five D&D games canned just prior to the release of Baldur's Gate 3), we can expect quite a few D&D games over the next several years.

The next one is slated for this year: Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked, a mouthful of a title for a fun four-player co-op game. If Baldur's Gate 3 is for folks who want something on par with the mechanical crunch of D&D Fifth Edition, then Battlemarked feels like the ideal choice for those who want something more approachable--a game to play with kids too young for something like Baldur's Gate 3, or other adults too busy to devote hours to a hobby as time-consuming as D&D.

GameSpot got an exclusive first look at Battlemarked, playing through two early levels alongside game director Gustav Stenmark and PR director Jamie Camargo. While I played as a Tiefling Rogue, Camargo played as an Elf Ranger, and Stenmark controlled two characters: a Dragonborn Paladin and Gnome Wizard. The first level we played through was a simple encounter between the party of heroic adventurers and a band of attacking goblins, while the second was the first floor of a multi-leveled dungeon crawl.

I'm sorry, Redditor JR_Masterson, but a sequel to the 2006 stealth-action game Sneak King will probably never happen because the mascot was creepy as hell.

In an interview with Restaurant Business (via IGN), the burger chain's chief marketing officer Joel Yashinsky said that because rivals like McDonald's were dominating with a more family-friendly mascot, the eerier "Creepy King" had to go to maintain profitability.

"There were a number of learnings we had from creepy king," Yashinsky said. "And we've moved away from creepy king because he had limited appeal."

A Song of Ice and Fire: Leatherette Box Set

$36.12 (was $85)

Get deal at Amazon

A collectible box set of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series is on sale for cheap at Amazon. As part of the retailer's Prime Big Deal Days early book sale, the leather-cloth-bound editions of all five novels in the fantasy series is discounted to only $36.12 (was $85). The 58% discount is the biggest price cut in two years. You need to be a Prime member to take advantage of this deal, otherwise the set will cost you $45.

Amazon also has a 50% discount on the similar J.R.R. Tolkien box set featuring The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with leatherette covers and a display case.

A Song of Ice and Fire: Leatherette Box Set $36.12 (was $85)

Includes:

1. A Game of Thrones
2. A Clash of Kings
3. A Storm of Swords
4. A Feast for Crows
5. A Dance with Dragons

These handsome editions of Martin's best-selling novels are bound in leatherette. Each one is a different color, though all five share a unified, minimalist design. The front covers and spines feature the title in a decorative box and George R.R. Martin's logo in the center. The set comes with the display box shown above.

The leatherette editions of ASOIAF are roughly the same size as the mass market paperbacks, though they are understandably higher-quality books. Just keep in mind that these pocket-sized editions, which are roughly 4 x 6 inches, have small text. If you're reading Game of Thrones for the first time, we'd generally recommend the trade paperback or hardcover editions. But if you're used to reading mass market paperbacks, you probably won't be bothered by the size of the leatherette editions.

All told, you're getting 5,280 pages of superb fantasy fiction for only $36, which breaks down to roughly $7 per book.

A Dance with Dragons was published way back in 2011, and it remains unclear when The Winds of Winter will be published--if it releases at all. Not to mention the seventh and final book, A Dream of Spring. Even with the uncertainty surrounding future books, A Song of Ice and Fire is still worth reading. It's one of the best fantasy series of the last 30 years.

Rockstar Games has announced plans for how Grand Theft Auto V will celebrate Halloween, and there is a lot of spooky content on tap.

To begin with, the Cayo Perico Survival and Ludendorff Cemetery Survival modes are back, but with a zombie twist for Halloween. Players will face off against "tides of zombies" in these locations, along with "hulking juggernauts, armored conquistadors, splitters, possessed animals and their trainers, zombie DJs, and more," Rockstar said.

Halloween comes to GTA Online.

The Cayo Perico Survival mode pays out double GTA$ and RP now through October 8, while the Ludendorff Cemetery Survival mode pays triple rewards October 23-November 5.

Developers at independent studio ZA/UM, the team behind the critically acclaimed RPG Disco Elysium, have formed a union that was recognized by the United Kingdom's games industry, marking a first in the country.

In an October 2 blog post on the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) Game Workers website, chairperson Spring McParlin-Jones and organizing officer Eugenia Peruzzo expressed excitement about this development. It's a big deal, after all, particularly because ZA/UM's recognized union could provide hope for other developers in the UK looking to gain collective power.

As the blog post noted, this is an "exciting milestone for workers industry-wide" that will give employees and management the appropriate means to negotiate workplace-related matters revolving around mental health, financial stability, and social livelihoods. ZA/UM will elect a committee of workplace representatives--with the IWGB support--to discuss the team's concerns. In essence, ZA/UM developers will now have the power.
