That includes over $100 off the Amazon Fire Max 11 productivity bundle, which not only comes with a no-ads version of the tablet itself, but also a keyboard case and a stylus...

After working in game development for over four decades, Peter Molyneux is calling it quits after he finishes his god game Masters of Albion--that is, if you take his word for it.
Speaking to Edge (via PC Gamer), Molyneux called Masters of Albion his "redemption title," adding: "... it's my last game. It just is." The game was announced back in August 2024 at Gamescom Opening Night Live; at the time of its announcement, Molyneux had already secretly been working on the title for three...
Kingmakers, the highly anticipated medieval action-strategy game that also includes AK-47s, grenade launchers, and attack helicopters, is not going to make it out on time. Just five days before it was due to launch on October 8, developer Redemption Road has announced the game is being delayed indefinitely so the studio can make it the best game it can be whenever it does launch.
"It's an incredibly ambitious, uncompromising game, and we don't want to cut any planned features for the sake...
Kinetic Games' Phasmophobia came from humble beginnings, with a single developer bringing to life their vision for casting players as paranormal investigators and then letting them loose to explore spooky environments and be terrorized by a variety of malevolent entities.
Its success was impressive and has even paved the way for other social-multiplayer games to achieve similar success. But now, Kinetic is preparing to take another big step forward. And although it has the attention of...
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's early access beta went live yesterday, and Treyarch has already confirmed some updates are planned to go live sometime this weekend. This includes adjustments to the beta's slow earn rates for weapon XP and overclocks.
In a recent post by Treyarch, it's confirmed that player feedback has been taken into consideration. Leveling up in the beta has been a painfully slow process, requiring tons of playtime to unlock weapon attachments and the game's new overclock...

Sega and Puma have officially unveiled the Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds collection, which includes themed trainers for Sonic, Tails, and Shadow, all in their signature colors. Puma describes them as a blend of "motorsport styling with graphic cues inspired by racing and design elements from...
I've come to Sensei Takahashi to learn the way of the yari, but we are sitting on the edge of a cliff facing the ocean, painting sumi-e. Ghost of Yotei gives you plenty of opportunities to take a break from slaying ronin to partake in the East Asian painting style, but this is the first time it's been part of protagonist Atsu's training.
It makes sense, though. Sucker Punch's highly anticipated sequel to 2020's Ghost of Tsushima tells the story of a woman warrior on a quest for revenge, and...
Cheaters never prosper, as the saying goes, and that's true in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's early-access beta, as Activision has already found and banned a few of them.
Players have been sharing clips of the myriad cheaters they've encountered, many of whom are using cheats to see through walls and get instant kills. One video, posted to X on October 2 by user HateToSeeMeComing, demonstrated the aimbot and wallhack they used to get the drop on unsuspecting players. Meanwhile, streamer Stodeh...

So, you're bored at work, probably sitting in front of your computer scrolling nothing to look busy. (Did I just snitch on myself?) Maybe you'd rather be playing Sucker Punch Productions' new samurai fantasy sequel Ghost of Yotei, but you've got however many hours until you get home. Well, if you wanted to make the wait easier, you should definitely check out the recently released "Music from Watanabe Mode" soundtrack. It's a total vibe.
Ghost of Yotei is the PlayStation 5-exclusive sequel...
Unlike the previous two entries in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy that launched exclusively for PlayStation consoles--with Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S versions on the way--the third game will adopt a multiplatform release strategy. This means that Square Enix will be developing for multiple consoles and PC for a wide release, but the company doesn't expect this approach to hinder production on the game.
"We do have designated teams working on each platform so that our multiplatform...

A demo for the game will be available during this month's Steam Next Fest.
The announcement trailer showcases four players attempting to fulfill warehouse orders, driving unusually fast forklifts that drift and...
With Battlefield 6 hitting PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on October 10, analysts believe that EA's military shooter could sell a whopping five million copies within its first week on the market.
