Both games have also gotten other minor fixes "to improve the gameplay experience." You can read the full patch notes for each update below.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle with Premium Pen Save up to $220 See at Amazon Kindle Scribe with Premium Pen Save $140 | Additional 20% off with eligible trade-in See at Amazon A bunch of Amazon devices are already discounted to official Prime Day 2025 prices, including the priciest electronic reader in the ubiquitous Kindle lineup. The newest Kindle Scribe has received a massive $140 price cut, dropping the hybrid ereader and journaling e-ink tablet to its best price since launching last December. But you can save even more--up to $220 total--by opting for the Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle.New Kindle users will almost certainly want to go with the bundle, but if you're upgrading to a new Kindle, you might want to skip the bundle due to a trade-in deal outlined below. The Kindle Scribe deals are exclusive to Prime members.See all Kindle Scribe Prime Day DealsBrowse Prime Day Kindle Book Sale Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle with Premium Pen Save up to $220 The Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle comes with Amazon's Premium Pen ($80 value), the official Fabric Folio Cover ($60 value), and a 9W power adapter for Amazon devices ($20 value). You can choose between Black, Denim, and Rose colors for the cover, while the tablet itself is Tungsten. The cover protects the screen and includes a built-in stand with multiple viewing angles.All three storage configurations are eligible for the Prime Day deal: 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB. Each tier is separated by only $15-$25, so if you plan on using your Kindle Scribe to store and listen to audiobooks via Audible, you may want to opt for 32GB or 64GB model.16GB Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle -- $270 ($480)32GB Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle -- $285 ($500)64GB Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle -- $310 ($530)The Kindle Scribe has a 10.2-inch front-lit display with anti-glare coating, so you can read in any lighting setting.

With the Premium Pen, you can create handwritten notes and email them to other devices. It feels remarkably similar to writing on actual paper. You can also take notes in books and documents you're reading. If you like writing in the margins of novels, the Scribe is the ereader for you.

The 16GB model is only $10 less than the bundle version; the 32GB model is $5 less; and the 64GB edition is actually the same price. So why would you willingly give up the $60 Fabric Folio and $20 AC adapter?You probably shouldn't unless you have a device that's eligible to trade in toward the new Scribe. The non-bundle version is eligible for an additional 20% discount when you trade in a device. Your old Kindle is the obvious choice, but Amazon also accepts other devices, including Fire tablets, Fire TV Sticks, and even some Apple products.With a trade-in, you'll get the value of that device and an additional 20% discount on your new purchase. That's a substantial savings. Trade-in values vary considerably, but the extra 20% is worth $52 to $62--and that's automatic. Here are the new prices, not including your trade-in.16GB -- $20832GB -- $22464GB -- $248It doesn't matter if you trade in a Fire Stick worth $3 or the original Kindle Scribe 16GB model for $85. But it is worth noting that if you own the original 2022 Scribe and want to upgrade, that $85 figure is what Amazon offered me, effectively lowering the price of the 2024 model to $123.

Ever since Persona transformed the RPG into a wonderfully voyeuristic Japanese tourism simulator, I’ve had an appetite for games that let me experience living on the other side of the planet. Whether it’s roaming the streets of Osaka in Yakuza or trudging across the dung-filled fields of Kingdom Come: Deliverance’s medieval Bohemia, there’s something satisfying about picking up a controller and being given a window into someone else’s life.Yet since Persona offers a disappointingly linear Tokyo to traverse, I’ve been left pining to get lost in a truly sprawling virtual metropolis. Thankfully, it turns out my oddly specific prayers have been answered. Welcome to the slick and exciting new anime open-world RPG from Hotta Studio, NTE. Hot-ta GoDeveloped by the creators of the 2021 hit, Tower of Fantasy, NTE is a fully open-world anime brawler made using Unreal Engine 5. Putting players into the near-future city of Hethereau, anime-styled characters are free to roam the futuristic metropolis as they see fit. Feeling like a blend of Shanghai, Seoul, and Tokyo, Hethereau is fully explorable in its gargantuan glory – and it finally satisfies that free-form slice of life itch.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Lego Icons: Optimus Prime Transformers 2-in-1 (1,508 Pieces) $144 (was $180) See at Amazon See at Walmart See at Target Optimus Prime is one of the most popular and highly rated buildable models in the Lego Icons lineup--for good reason, too. The 1,508-piece collectible display set has an exceedingly clever 2-in-1 design that allows Transformers fans to convert the Autobot leader into his signature truck. Ahead of Prime Day 2025, multiple major retailers have restocked the 1,508-piece Optimus Prime set for $144, which is a 20% discount from its $180 MSRP. At the time of writing, Amazon is running low on units, but you can also snag this deal at Walmart and Target.Lego Icons: Optimus Prime Transformers 2-in-1 Display ModelAll three retailers have sold out of this display model, which is geared toward adults, several times already this year. And though it has returned once again, it's worth noting that Optimus Prime was out of stock everywhere from last holiday season until March. The Lego Store has units available at the moment, but it'll cost you the full $180 MSRP. Lego officially lists Optimus Prime as "hard to find." This description combined with the prolonged stock shortages could mean that the Optimus Prime kit, which debuted in 2022, is close to retirement.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

From Software has rolled out a new Elden Ring Nightreign update, which aims to address a number of bugs.Version 1.01.4 is now available across all platforms and is, once again, a fairly small patch that primarily focuses on resolving a series of bugs that have been disrupting online sessions, instead of balance adjustments, unlike in the previous patch. There's also no word on the promised two-player co-op, which From Software admitted was overlooked in development, but there is a way to enable that with Elden Ring Nightreign mods.The patch notes confirm that the issue where matchmaking would continuously fail after two players joined and left a team simultaneously has been fixed, meaning no more party resets. The weapon type should also now be displayed in each Armament Information menu, and background music should now play the Recluse Remembrance.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
