Original Sonic The Hedgehog Animated Series Gets Nice Discount At Amazon

Decades before the live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movies brought the Blue Blur to the big screen, Sega's flagship platformer series was adapted to the small screen with the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, a 65-episode cartoon that aired back in 1993. The series made a comeback in 2022 with the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog Complete TV Series Blu-ray set, and right now, fans can grab the collection for $45.59 at Amazon (normally $60).

Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Is Only $20 For Switch At Amazon

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 is on sale for only $20 at Amazon. This deal only applies to the Nintendo Switch version. The compilation released last October.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has maintained its $70 retail price since launching in February--until now. You can finally save on the PS5 exclusive at Amazon and GameStop, with both retailers dropping the price to $55 for a limited time. As this is the first discount since release, we wouldn't be surprised to see stock sell out--especially at Amazon, considering the online retailer is still giving away Final Fantasy-themed DualSense controller skins with the game.

Frostpunk 2 Wants Its Players To Think Bigger

If Frostpunk was about survival, then Frostpunk 2 is about stability--or at least the pursuit of it. Survival is still at the heart of Frostpunk 2’s gameplay and themes, but 11 Bit Studios wants its players to think bigger this time around. How do you create a thriving, expansive metropolis in a frigid and unforgiving wasteland? According to co-game director and design director Jakub Stokalski, “With that type of story, the scale needed to change, and with that came different city...

Few mechanics in gaming feel as good as superhuman traversal. One of the most electrifying examples of superhero movement came 15 years ago when Sucker Punch...
