The Witcher Books Box Set Drops to a Great Low Price for Amazon's Cyber Monday Sale

Image
Amazon has been dropping new book deals since Black Friday, and one of the most popular discounts available has been on The Witcher books. Andrzej Spkowski's Witcher series is the basis for the entire phenomenon. The popularity of the series may have been elevated by The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and the Netflix series, but its the original story that has inspired the dark fantasy world we've come to love. The latest Cyber Monday deal on this box set drops the price down to just $33.79 for the whole paperback set. This is a lower price than what we saw last week when the buy 2, get 1 free sale was still live , so it's worth picking up as an individual set before the deals end tomorrow. The Witcher Boxed Set Deal at Amazon This convenient collection comes with a box to store all five books on your shelf. The spines all sport the same red binding, making them pop on your shelf. The main novels follow Geralt of Rivia, the titular Witcher, and his decades-long quest to prote...

Fortnite Zero Hour Live Event Draws 10.5 Million Players, As Godzilla, King Kong, Iron Man and KPop Demon Hunters Unite For Avengers: Endgame-Style Finale

Image
Fortnite developer Epic Games has announced that 10.5 million players just tuned in for Zero Hour, the highly-anticipated live event that featured heroes from the world's biggest franchises turning up Avengers: Endgame-style to save the day. Online, at least 3 million more watched the event via streaming platforms. Iron Man, Superman, Godzilla and the KPop Demon Hunters were just some of the characters who made appearances within the event, as Fortnite's finest gathered to defeat the Dark Presence, the game's latest Big Bad. Many of the characters appearing in the event had been teased ahead of time, though exactly what would happen was left uncertain. And indeed, despite going multiple rounds with King Kong and a Star Destroyer, the Dark Presence was still left standing. Perhaps the biggest surprise of the event was quite how much Fortnite celebrated its own beloved lore, with the Dark Presence finally defeated thanks to a last-ditch decision by Jonesy to call in the ...

The Nintendo Switch 2 Pokemon Legends Z-A Bundle Is Hard To Find This Black Friday - Here's Where You Can Get One

Image
If there’s one thing that looks to be a popular item this Black Friday , it’s the Nintendo Switch 2. We’ve already covered why the console is unlikely to see discounts (TL;DR, it’s super popular), but if you’re looking for bundle options, then Nintendo is offering two of its own. While the Mario Kart World Bundle has been around since the console’s launch, the more recent Pokémon: Legends Z-A bundle is getting tough to find ahead of the Holiday shopping season. In fact, we’ve been watching stock dwindle all day, but there’s one place that still has it - Gamestop . Gamestop Still Has The Nintendo Switch 2 Pokemon: Legends Z-A Bundle In Stock On Black Friday The good news is that the console is in stock, but the bad news is that there’s no additional discount on the bundle right now. You’re saving around $20 from buying the bundle rather than getting the game and console separately, though, and hey - it’s in stock, not something we can say about other big retailers right now. ...

Alan Wake Developer Remedy Looks to Have Trademarked Control: Resonant Ahead of The Game Awards, Sparking Speculation It's Set to Reveal a Long-Awaited Sequel

Image
A wave of speculation among fans of Alan Wake 2 and Control developer Remedy Entertainment has been sparked by the filing of a fresh trademark, just days ahead of The Game Awards. As spotted by MP1st , a trademark for something named "Control: Resonant" was filed yesterday, November 27, by Remedy's legal firm, Nordic Attorneys at Law Ltd. This, it's stated, is the same group responsible for all of Remedy's other trademarks. The obvious conclusion here is that Control: Resonant will be the title of Remedy's upcoming Control sequel , which the developer first announced for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S back in 2022 . Little else is known about the project, however. The timing of the trademark's filing raises eyebrows, coming exactly two weeks before this year's The Game Awards broadcast on December 11. And Remedy has gone big at the show before, with a full dance number during the show's 2023 ceremony to celebrate Alan Wake 2. Of cou...

Project Motor Racing Review

Image
I’m parked at the back of the grid on Mount Panorama, awaiting the race start, and there are cars ahead of me literally facing backwards. This is not going to go well. As you’d expect, pandemonium ensues when the lights go off. The race has just begun and it’s already a mess. Unfortunately, this is Project Motor Racing in a nutshell right now. On paper, Project Motor Racing is precisely the sort of racing game I want to play. It has a great selection of cars, a number of which are thoroughly underrepresented in modern racers. It’s also not crippled with free-to-play chicanery or subject to a monthly subscription, and its focus isn’t primarily multiplayer. All of this is high-octane music to my ears. In practice, however, Project Motor Racing simply hasn’t worked out, and I’ve totally bounced off it in its current state thanks to AI that essentially ignores your presence on track, a hopelessly uneven penalty system that serves only to frustrate and ruin your races, and its array of...
