Retired Lego Atari 2600 Is Back In Stock At Amazon, But Probably Not For Long

See at Amazon

After selling out earlier this year, Amazon has restocked the discontinued Atari 2600 Lego set. We doubt that these Lego sets were unearthed from a mass Atari burial site in New Mexico, because unlike the E.T. video game, the Atari 2600 Lego set is awesome, but it is interesting that Amazon has units available. It's also a nice that Amazon is charging the original $240 MSRP for this 2,532-piece set. Lego retired the Atari 2600 last December, and most retailers have been sold out all year.

The Live Action Aeon Flux Film Is Getting A 4K Blu-Ray For Its 20th Anniversary

Back in the '90s, Aeon Flux helped MTV establish itself as more than just a hub for music videos. The animated series became a cult-classic thanks to its groundbreaking animation and surreal sci-fi story. The show then saw a live-action film adaptation starring Charlize Theron in 2005. While the film doesn't quite match the bar of quality set by the animated series, Aeon Flux is still a rock-solid sci-fi movie--and for its upcoming 20th anniversary, it's finally coming to 4K Blu-ray with a new steelbook edition. Preorders for the Aeon Flux 20th Anniversary Steelbook Edition 4K Blu-ray are available for $34 ahead of its October 7 release.

The Aeon Flux 20th Anniversary Steelbook Edition features cover art of the film's original theatrical poster. Special features haven't been confirmed yet, but we're expecting this new 4K Blu-ray version to include much of the same bonus content from previous DVD and Blu-ray releases.

Set in the distant future, Aeon Flux takes place in a world that is still reeling from a deadly virus that killed 99% percent of the human race. In the centuries since the outbreak, survivors established the walled city of Bregna, which is governed by congress of scientists led by Trevor Goodchild. A mysterious faction hires telepathic warrior Aeon Flux (Theron) to assassinate Goodchild. However, soon into her mission, Aeon finds herself investigating a tangled conspiracy hiding Bregna City's true nature.

As mentioned above, the live-action Aeon Flux movie pales in comparison to its animated source material--and if you want to check out the original series, you can grab the Aeon Flux: The Complete Animated Series Collection Director's Cut on DVD for $13.51 (was $17) at Amazon. Along with all episodes of the show, this DVD set includes bonus materials like a commentary track from series creator Peter Chung, featurettes, production art, and several TV shorts.

Gearbox Shares Some Funny Borderlands 4 Opening Weekend Stats

Game News - Thu, 09/18/2025 - 09:41

Borderlands 4 arrived last week, and planet Kairos is ripe for the looting. Gearbox Studios has released a handful of stats from Borderlands 4 that reveal just how far some players are willing to go to find loot.

A few stats from Borderlands 4's opening weekend, courtesy of Gearbox Studios.

According to the graph, 1,530,794 items were looted from an outhouse. Who knew there was so much treasure to be found there?! By comparison, only 487,585 items were looted from trashcans, which apparently means there's more to be gained from going into an outhouse than digging through a normal trash receptacle. Players also looted 1,811,970 items from boomboxes, beer coolers, and grills. However, red chests comfortably took the top slot with 14,814,296 items looted in the first weekend.

Getting all of that treasure didn't happen without a price; 2,034,399 players suffered an unfortunate end by barrel. Grenade fatalities were even higher with 4,563,416. Although deaths by toxic goo were much smaller with 349,734, those are the ones that looked like they hurt the most.

Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Complete Series Releases On Blu-Ray Next Month

Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Walmart See at Amazon (DVD)

Seinfeld is regarded as one of the best comedy sitcoms of all time, but series co-creator followed it up with an even series: Curb Your Enthusiasm. Across 12 seasons spanning 25 years, Larry David consistently demonstrated he's one of the funniest writers and actors working in television. And while it's sad Curb is over, it's one of those shows that continues to be brilliant and hilarious even after you've watched it several times. Next month would be a pretty, pretty, pretty good time to rewatch the series, as Curb Your Enthusiasm will finally be available on Blu-ray. Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Complete Series is available to preorder for $130 at Amazon ahead of its October 14 launch.

Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Complete Series on Blu-ray $130 | Releases October 14

Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Complete Series is a 24-disc Blu-ray box set with all 12 seasons of the beloved comedy. Each season of Curb has 10 episodes with runtimes of roughly 30 minutes, so all 120 episodes will take you 60 hours to watch.

Up until now, each season has only been available on DVD, so it's pretty, pretty, pretty exciting to have the full series on Blu-ray. One question that fans probably have: How does this box set handle the early seasons? The first six seasons of Curb were filmed and displayed in 4:3 aspect ratio. If you stream the series on HBO Max, the early episodes are rendered in 16:9 widescreen like the last six seasons. According to the back of the box, every episode will be displayed in 1080p high definition, so you can expect 16:9 aspect ratio for every episode.

For audio, Seasons 1-6 support Dolby Digital 2.0, and Seasons 7-12 have Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound.

The back of the box mentions several featurettes and bonus content while noting there's "much more" than what's listed below:

  • A Seinfeld Moment on Curb: Interview with Larry David and the Seinfeld Cast
  • Leon's Guide to NYC
  • Larry's Favorite Episodes
  • BTS of the Final Scene
  • Gag Reel

The HBO series kicked off in 2000, two years after Seinfeld wrapped, and ended its run in 2024. If you haven't watched Curb, Larry David stars as himself, the co-creator of Seinfeld. Curb Your Enthusiasm's similar style of humor, wit, and outlandish antics make it feel like a spiritual successor to Seinfeld. But since Curb aired on HBO, it had the freedom to cross lines a network TV show like Seinfeld can't get away with.

The Complete Series box set originally released on DVD last October with a $150 MSRP. The DVD box set actually still sells for $150, if you buy it directly from Amazon--third-party sellers have the DVD box set for as low as $80.

Scream Duo Tease Their Reunion In Five Nights At Freddy's 2

Game News - Thu, 09/18/2025 - 06:11

Nearly three decades ago, Matthew Lillard and Skeet Ulrich shared the screen as Stu Macher and Billy Loomis in Scream. Later this year, Lillard and Ulrich are reuniting for Five Nights at Freddy's 2, the sequel to the 2023 adaptation of the hit video game franchise. Ulrich's character hasn't been revealed yet, but Lillard couldn't resist teasing it during their joint appearance at Silver Scream Con.

"I am thrilled to have [Ulrich] in the community," said Lillard via Bloody Disgusting. "I saw his performance this week. They're gonna love it. He's playing a great character. If the movie’s successful, hopefully he comes back."

"I always love spending time with Matt," noted Ulrich. "He's one of the greatest people I know, quite honestly. As you guys have experienced, he's such a giving man. I always like spending time with him, and [Five Nights at Freddy’s 2] was no exception."

Splinter Cell Anime Needed To "Rip The Spine Out" Of The Source Material, Showrunner Says

Game News - Thu, 09/18/2025 - 06:01

John Wick's Derek Kolstad is the showrunner for Netflix's upcoming Splinter Cell animated series, Deathwatch, and now he's shared new insight into the show, including how he believes you have to "rip the spine out of the source material."

Speaking to IGN, Kolstad said it was important for Deathwatch to honor the Splinter Cell franchise but also not be too strict in needing to adhere to it. "You have to rip the spine out of the source material," he said. "Keep the brain and the heart, entertain the soul, and do your best to actually build it into something that works."

Deathwatch takes place decades after the stories of the original games, but Kolstad said he's not sure if it's officially canon. "I hope so. … [Ubisoft's] got a stranglehold on their IP for good measure because they've got some of the best titles. But there were some things that along the way [they] were like, 'Don't do that.' And I'm like, 'Why?' And they're like, 'Hey, we got other plans,'" he said.

Rocket League's Best Rocket Pass Ever Just Dropped -- Especially For Fortnite Players

Game News - Thu, 09/18/2025 - 04:46

There's never been a Rocket Pass like this one. With the launch of the new Rocket League season on Wednesday, we also got to start grinding on what is probably the most broadly appealing Rocket Pass Epic has yet produced in the five years since Rocket League went free-to-play. It's the first Rocket Pass to include two different licensed car bodies--a Pontiac Firebird, and a Chevrolet Astro van--and for good measure it's also got some incredible Sonic the Hedgehog items, including an awesome goal explosion and hamster-wheel-style rims in which a little Sonic runs when you accelerate.

Check out the Chevy Astro and Pontiac Firebird car bodies included in the new Rocket Pass.

Those items alone are worth the price of the pass, assuming you actually plan to spend time unlocking them, but Epic made that a little easier too this season with better XP gains just from playing matches, and by making certain things easier to unlock. For example, on previous passes that included a second vehicle body, you always had to grind to rank 40 to unlock them, but the Astro van is only at 33. Likewise, it has typically taken until rank 100 to unlock all the Rocket League Credits included in the pass, but on this pass you'll unlock them all by rank 69 (nice). Add in three really excellent goal explosions, including the Sonic one, and there's an excessive amount of cool stuff in this pass compared with past ones. This Rocket Pass will run until December 10, and it costs 1,000 Credits or a month of Fortnite Crew.

All of the above also makes the new Rocket Pass an exceptional value for Fortnite players, since they can obtain the pass with a Fortnite Crew subscription--and unlike passes inside Fortnite, you won't lose access to the Rocket Pass when your Crew expires. Both the cars will transfer to Fortnite, as should the Sonic wheels and most of the other boosts, trails, and wheels in the pass. And the Astro van will be the first Fortnite SUV body that you don't have to buy in the item shop. And there is a pile of decals for the Firebird and the Astro to unlock as well. While you'll still have to play Rocket League to progress the pass, that grind should be easier this time out with Epic's recent changes to XP.

See Battlefield 6's Biggest Launch Map In Action

Game News - Thu, 09/18/2025 - 04:44

One of the complaints from the Battlefield 6 multiplayer beta was that the maps were too small, but the game does indeed have larger maps--and now you can see two of them in action.

Mirak Valley is Battlefield 6's biggest launch map, and it certainly looks massive. Set in Tajikistan, Mirak Valley features massive open spaces, along with more close-quarter environments. Being a huge map, Mirak Valley also has a variety of vehicles players can zip around on and fight with.

Also on display in the video above is Battlefield 6's brand-new mode, Escalation. A spin on Conquest, Escalation has players capturing zones to fill a meter, and once it's full, a team earns one point--the meter then resets. The goal is earn three points to win a match. The twist is that when a team earns a point, some of the objectives on the map are eliminated, meaning the capture points teams are fighting over get smaller and smaller, thereby ... escalating the action.

Congressional Republican Calls On Discord, Steam, Twitch CEOs To Testify About Radicalization

Game News - Thu, 09/18/2025 - 04:37

James Comer, a Republican representative from Kentucky and the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has called on the CEOs of major game-adjacent and forum platforms to appear at an upcoming panel about online radicalization. Coming in the aftermath of the murder of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk, Comer seeks testimony from the leadership at Valve, Discord, Twitch, and Reddit.

In a press release, Comer stated that government has a "duty to oversee the online platforms that radicals have used to advance political violence." Comer further explained that the CEOs must "explain what actions they will take to ensure their platforms are not exploited for nefarious purpose."

As such, the CEOs have each been sent letters requesting their presence at a House Oversight Committee hearing that will take place on October 8. According to the letters, the hearing will address "radicalization of online forum users, including incidents of open incitement to commit violent politically motivated acts."

Trails In The Sky 1st Chapter Review - A Glorious Return To The Beginning

Games Reviews - Thu, 09/18/2025 - 04:34

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter finally addresses a major dilemma for newcomers considering getting into Falcom's epic industrial fantasy saga. While the Trails series has consisted of different arcs set in different parts of the continent of Zemuria that you could start from, when its overarching storyline and continuity spans titles released over two decades, where better to begin than the very first chapter?

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter successfully remakes the game and brings it in line with the standards of a Trails game in 2025, while preserving its original story. This is not a bloated reimagining--Trails titles have already been well-regarded for having a wealth of text, so it's not like a remake would benefit from more fleshing out--but sticks to all of the original story beats, along with a revised localization that's also closer in style to the Japanese text. There are some new lines too, mostly to fill the silences during exploration, but still not quite the same undertaking of localizing a new script from scratch, which is usually why previous Trails games have taken longer to reach the West.

Just like the original, 1st Chapter begins with 11 year-old Estelle waiting for her father Cassius to arrive home, only to find he's brought with him an injured orphaned boy named Joshua who's also her age. Fast-forwarding five years later, he's part of the family and the pair are following in their father's footsteps to become bracers: heroic warriors serving and protecting their communities by exterminating dangerous monsters and helping with odd jobs. But besides going from town to town in the kingdom of Liberl and doing good deeds to increase their bracer rank, Estelle and Joshua become embroiled in one mystery after another, from political corruption to kidnappings, culminating in a vast conspiracy beyond what they could have imagined.

Assassin's Creed Shadows: Claws Of Awaji DLC Review - Same Old, Same Old

Games Reviews - Thu, 09/18/2025 - 04:15

Assassin's Creed has long focused each of its stories on a central theme. Almost every aspect of Odyssey's main campaign and dozens of side quests deal with legacy, for example, while Valhalla's lengthy story largely centers around fate. Assassin's Creed Shadows is far less defined, with protagonists Naoe and Yasuke's journey across 16th-century Japan primarily being about found family, but delving into revenge and honor as well. Thematically, it's been the weakest narrative theme of the larger, more RPG-focused Assassin's Creed games, muddied by the main story's aimless second act.

Those same problems persist in Shadows' first major story-driven expansion, Claws of Awaji. And while a few changes to the cat-and-mouse formula of pursuing and eliminating targets do make for a more engaging gameplay loop, the persisting narrative issues leave the ending to the DLC, and Naoe's arc specifically, feeling barebones.

Claws of Awaji takes place after the events of Shadows' main story. So if you haven't finished Shadows' campaign and don't want to be spoiled, turn back.

Battlefield 6: Here's How Cross-Play Works For Console And PC

Game News - Thu, 09/18/2025 - 03:33

EA and Battlefield Studios have clarified how cross-play works for Battlefield 6 as it relates to consoles, following a period of confusion based on what a developer said in an interview.

In an interview with IGN, Battlefield Studios said, "Console-only cross-play happens if you turn it off. When you flip that switch, then you get, basically, console-only cross-play, and that is, we don't fill with PC players."

A spokesperson for EA confirmed the finer details about how cross-play works on console, and that is that when it's toggled on, the game will prioritize console-only cross-play, but not guarantee it. Players can select Cross-play Off to only play against people on their platform.
