Thanks to new data, we now better understand the true scale of this launch. To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Heat styling tools force you to choose between damaged hair and skipping the styles you actually want. In revolutionizing hair styling, the Dyson Airwrap harnessed aerodynamics instead of extreme heat to create curls, waves, and smooth blowouts. Dyson pioneered this technology and while dozens of brands have attempted knockoffs, none match the engineering or results of the original. Amazon just dropped the Airwrap Origin to an all-time low of $399 for Black Friday, down from the usual $549 price tag. You get the iconic 1.2-inch barrel, round brush, and flyaway attachment that style your hair via controlled airflow rather than…

A faint light glows from the back of a medieval tavern, with a crowd of people huddled around it. They’re all watching one of the patrons at a mysterious machine, built perhaps by a madman or a wizard, enthralled as the contraption whirs its gears at each pull of the lever. Suddenly, the crowd erupts in cheers — they’ve rolled a critical hit! This is what playing Slots & Daggers, a new fantasy slot-machine roguelike, feels like. The game comes from solo developer Friedemann Allmenröder, who previously brought games like the cozy builder Summerhouse to life. On his website, he…

You’d be forgiven for not remembering PUBG: Black Budget, the extraction off-shoot of the original battle royale shooter, PUBG. Black Budget has been sort of floating around the internet for months, but Krafton never really committed to revealing core details about the game, or when players will actually get to play it. This changes today, as the publisher – along with the game’s developer, PUBG Studios, have finally lifted the lid off the upcoming shooter. To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

You have an Xbox 360 controller waiting for you in your living room and a console hungry to entertain you. It’s an older console, sure. But it still has a ton of great games. This list was published on April 21, 2016. We’re re-posting it today in honor of the Xbox 360’s 20th anniversary. As of April 2016, Microsoft has ceased production of the Xbox 360 console. It had a great run—red rings and Kinect 1.0 notwithstanding—and it got a ton of great games. These dozen games have occupied our Bests list for a long while, and at this point…

The Game Awards announced its 2025 nominees for Game of the Year on Monday, and while it’s safe to say that 2025 will go down as a banner year, there was one glaring omission. Like many fans of puzzle games, I raised an eyebrow at Blue Prince’s absence from the list. Back in March, I started my adventure through Mt. Holly estate. I explored every room, scrutinized each miniscule detail, reached the alluring Room 46, and the next thing I knew, it was already late April (in the real world, not in-game). Image: Dogubomb/Raw Fury via Polygon Blue Prince was…

For years, Sonos made its name with WiFi streaming alone, avoiding Bluetooth at all costs to keep audio quality high. It finally relented with portable speakers, realizing convenience does matter for some use cases without invalidating the core WiFi basis of what makes Sonos so great. The Era 100 competes directly with Bose and Sony’s premium offerings while it currently sells for mid-range pricing that makes no sense given its capabilities. Amazon dropped this to $169 for Black Friday, down from $199, which is a record low that puts exceptional audio within reach of anyone looking for Bluetooth speakers. See…
