Premium noise-canceling headphones are a big investment, but they can turn your commutes, flights, and focus sessions into private audio bubbles anywhere. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones in this limited edition Deep Plum color are on sale for $279 on Amazon, down from their list price of $429 and it is the lowest price ever which makes them almost half the price of Apple’s Airpods Max. This “Ultra” version is Bose’s ultimate model and it is (way) better than the standard QuietComfort line and has many improvements that make it worthy of the “Ultra” name. The new features are spatial…

Award-winning Game Master Brennan Lee Mulligan has pulled out all the stops for Critical Role Campaign 4 to remind both viewers and his players that the world of Aramán is lethal. As we noticed earlier in the campaign, death and the afterlife play a big role in this world and the story told at the table. With the gods killed and their afterlife realms apparently lost, the souls of the dead are stuck in limbo, or forced to reincarnate. We previously speculated that this could also affect the players of Campaign 4, and now we know how. It was already…

Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic was one of the big highlights of The Game Awards last week, but will it launch before 2030?

I’m not getting any younger!” You need a javascript enabled browser to watch…

Sometimes I find myself pining for something that recreates the magic of the PlayStation games I grew up with. I can’t help it! My memories of gaming in the late ’90s are filled with experiences unlike anything I get today. I have a vision of mystifying games filled with secrets, ones that weren’t afraid to be obtuse and allow me to get lost. Every game felt so different from the one I played before, inventing completely new ideas that I’d discover and master. There was nothing like it. But the older I get, the more I’ve come to realize that…

Final Fantasy I-VI Collection Anniversary Edition is back on sale for its Black Friday price at Amazon.

The Pixel Remasters of the first six mainline Final Fantasy games look and sound great on both platforms, but they feel especially at home on a portable console like the Switch 1/2. The Anniversary Edition…

Pokémon Legends: Z-A’s Mega Dimension DLC is a lengthy coda to the base game, riffing on every narrative and mechanical overhaul Game Freak brought to Lumiose City. It is essentially the postgame that Z-A lacked when it launched in October, and while your mileage may vary on whether or not you want to spend an extra $30 to play it, what’s here is a compelling spin on everything that made the game one of Pokémon’s most compelling experiments. Mega Dimension is set after the events of Legends: Z-A, so you’ll have to see the credits (the real ones, not the…
