Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale brings rare discounts on Nintendo Switch 2 games including Pokemon Legends Z-A, Mario Tennis Fever, and several JRPG titles. New console bundles including a Zelda edition and Switch Sports Resort package also launch this month.
Gears of War: E-Day delivers the series' best cover-based combat yet, but its 20-plus-hour campaign drowns that strength in repetitive encounters and a story that struggles to justify its own existence. Multiplayer modes like Horde Siege shine, yet they cannot fully rescue a package that feels bloated and backward-looking.
The Coalition's prequel delivers one of the year's strongest opening acts, using horror pacing and a first-responder perspective to hook players before settling into familiar cover-shooter rhythm. Game Pass Ultimate subscribers should prioritize Act 1 as a masterclass in player onboarding.
Hisense's 2026 U7SG 4K Google TV drops to its lowest prices yet during Amazon's October Prime Day sale, with the 55-inch model starting at $647.99. The TV packs a 165Hz Mini-LED panel, four HDMI 2.1 ports, and Dolby Atmos audio into a package built for PlayStation 5 Pro and Xbox Series X owners.
IGN's hands-on preview reveals Nintendo Switch Sports Resort solves the original's biggest shortcomings with meaningful exploration, varied engagement modes, and strong multiplayer fun. The game launches bundled with Switch 2 this holiday season, bringing back Wuhu Island after more than a decade.
The Marvel Legends Series Daredevil: Born Again mask and billy club set is on sale for $97.99 on Amazon during Prime Big Deal Days, down from a $139.99 list price. The 1:1 scale replica arrives just in time for Halloween 2024 and includes a display stand for collectors who prefer to showcase it.
The Beats Studio Pro wireless noise canceling headphones have dropped to $119 at Amazon and Walmart for Prime Day, marking a 60% discount off the $300 list price. This is the lowest price ever recorded for the headphones, which offer active noise cancelation, spatial audio with head tracking, and up to 40 hours of battery life. The deal includes free shipping and availability in both black and white color options.
Walmart has dropped the price of the 27-inch Acer Nitro QD-OLED gaming monitor to $269, making it one of the most affordable quantum dot OLED displays on the market. The VG277U Xbiip model combines a 2560x1440 Samsung panel with a native 240Hz refresh rate and a three-year warranty. For competitive players, this spec sheet at this price is practically unheard of.
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot told investors the Watch Dogs franchise remains an important brand for the company's future, but confirmed no new entries are currently in active development. The series has been dormant since 2020's Watch Dogs: Legion, and a planned film adaptation wrapped production two years ago with no release date in sight.
Amazon's Prime Day sale includes a two-pack of Lisen 6.6ft 240W USB Type-C cables for $5.60 after coupon code 8KPU7M61. That works out to $2.80 per cable, significantly below the typical $10 retail price at big box stores. The braided nylon cables support high-wattage charging for laptops, Nintendo Switch 2, and iPhone 16.
