Rainbow Six Siege is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, and a new operator is coming to the game in September when Year 10: Season 3 begins with Operation High Stakes. The new guy is called Denari, and he's got the potential to be a game-changing defender thanks to his ability to lay down laser traps.

Denari is a Swiss military veteran who wields a Scorpion EVO 3 SMG or an FMG-9 SMG, and an optional P226 Mk 25 pistol in conjunction with his Glaive-12 shotgun sidearm. But the real attraction is his ability to use T.R.I.P. connectors to make laser grid traps that can slow down enemies or even temporarily trap them. The lasers do inflict damage, and simply powering through won't get rid of them because the devices reactive after a few seconds.

There are a few ways to counter Denari's T.R.I.P. connectors, including shooting them, melee attacks, or using explosives. Drones can also be used to dismantle the connections. However, the most effective tactic appears to an impact EMP grenade that can disable the laser field. Unfortunately, many of those options leave attackers wide open for a trap by Denari or his allies.

Elio (Blu-ray, DVD, Digital)

$25 | Releases September 9

Preorder at Walmart Preorder at Amazon

Pixar's charming animated film Elio has another chance to find a wider audience in a few weeks. Elio releases on 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray September 9, and preorders for Elio's Limited Edition Steelbook are now available for $45 at Walmart and Amazon. Like other recent Disney and Pixar films, Elio's 4K Blu-ray edition is only available with a collectible steelbook case. A standard Blu-ray edition is also up for preorder for only $25 at Walmart.

Elio will arrive on Blu-ray less than three months after its June theatrical debut. Disney animated films often have longer gaps between theatrical and home video releases, but Elio's disappointing performance at the box office likely contributed to the fast turnaround. Elio received many positive reviews for critics; it's genuinely one of the better Pixar movies in recent memory. The beautifully animated sci-fi adventure used Pixar's new Luna lighting tech, so it should be a cool Disney movie to watch on 4K Blu-ray with HDR.

The heartfelt movie stars an 11-year-old boy who dreams of space and hanging out with aliens. When he inadvertently becomes Earth's ambassador to an interplanetary organization, Elio's wish becomes reality.

The game casts players as a wizard named Shade Silver as he embarks on a side-scrolling adventure that forces him to avoid traps, shoot enemies, solve puzzles, find treasures, and even bribe a few ogres to advance to the next level. There are four bosses and boss battles across 81 levels, with multiple secrets to discover along the way.

While Broly made a memorable appearance in his 1993 feature film debut and two 1994 movies--collected as the Broly Triple Feature on Blu-ray--these were essentially non-canon appearances.
