Resident Evil 7 Biohazard Gold Edition
Immerse yourself in the world of survival horror with one of 2017’s scariest and most celebrated games. Ethan Winters arrives at the dilapidated Baker mansion on a quest to find his missing wife. The terrors he discovers within require him to scavenge for supplies and weapons to fight against the unpredictable and deadly Baker family, along with other threats. The Gold Edition contains the full game plus DLC: Banned Footage Vol. 1 and 2, and the End of Zoe epilogue, making it a huge value.
SteelSeries Stratus XL Wireless Controller
While the Stratus XL may look like just a slick, responsive new wireless controller, under the chassis is a gaming platform chameleon. At only $40, the Stratus XL is a versatile bluetooth beast that connects up seamlessly not just to PCs and to Steam, but to the Samsung Gear VR, the Google Daydream VR, and Android as well.
Dead Rising 4: Frank’s Big Package
Zombie-slaying icon Frank West returns to center stage in this sprawling, open-world epic to take out thousands of undead foes. Frank’s Big Package includes all previously released add-on content, along with the all-new Capcom Hero’s Mode. Frank can tap into the power and appearance of Capcom legends like Mega Man X, Dante from the Devil May Cry series, and many more to devastate the walking corpses infesting Willamette, Colorado.
Pac-Man Connect and Play
One of the best Plug & Play classic game consoles out there, not only does this $20 Pac-Man shaped system deliver arcade perfect renditions of 12 of Namco's best classic titles—including Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Galaga, and others--but gives players the special pleasure of playing the infamous 255th and 256th levels of Pac-Man without, well, having to play the other 254.
Okami HD
The beloved story of lupine deity Amaterasu arrives on modern platforms. Known for its innovate art style, Okami brings ancient Japan to life with a breathtaking traditional Japanese ukiyoe aesthetic. Amaterasu does more than look good on her quest to defeat the evil Orochi and free the land from his corruption – she can also wield the powerful Celestial Brush. Players command the artistic might of the Celestial Brush to not only strike down impish enemies, but return color and life to the lands blighted by Orochi.
PowerA DualShock 4 Dual Charger
Tired of that message telling you the DualShock 4 is low on battery coming up at a critical moment? Well, this $25 Dual Charger solves that problem by allowing two DualShocks to be charged on the same inobtrusive little stand over an AC Adapter, ensuring you have access to another fully charged weapon of choice at all times.
Resident Evil Revelations Collection
Resident Evil finally arrives on Nintendo Switch! Resident Evil Revelations and Resident Evil Revelations 2 are two hit entries in the celebrated horror franchise, and they’re playable at home or on the go. Resident Evil Revelations stars fan-favorite characters Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield as they explore abandoned cruise ships and an arctic tundra to battle bio-engineered abominations. Resident Evil Revelations 2 stars Claire Redfield and Barry Burton as they fight to uncover the mystery of a deadly prison island and the evil mind behind it. Both games take advantage of the Switch’s Joy-Con motion controls for increased aiming and other immersive motion-based action.
Xbox One Play & Charge Kit
A must-have for Xbox owners for over ten years, this $25 little miracle pays for itself with what you save in batteries. With one little rechargeable pack, players can expect 30 hours out of a single four hour charge, and keep on playing while said charge is in progress.
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
Rookie attorney Apollo Justice makes his debut in the fourth entry of the exciting Ace Attorney series. The hot-blooded, spikey-haired lawyer is joined by a quirky, lovable cast of characters including his magician assistant and a fellow attorney who moonlights as a famous rock star. Use Apollo’s insightful instincts to sense witnesses’ tics, spot dishonesty and fight for justice. The Nintendo 3DS touchscreen also comes in handy when getting down and dirty with interactive forensics to investigate crime scenes.
Tetris Stackable LED Desk Lamp
We've seen Tetris ported to everything from the PS4 to graphing calculators, so, maybe it's not a surprise at all to see Tetris in our lighting options. Priced at $17, this set comes with one of each of the seven Tetriminos, which light up when they're stacked against each other, which they will do in virtually any configuration. And no, they don't disappear if you create a perfect line.
The Legend of Zelda: Art & Artifacts
With 10 million sold since March, there's a lot of Nintendo Switches out there, which likely means a lot of copies of the brilliant Breath of the Wild. This dense $23 art book is a perfect companion piece to all those new Hyrule explorers, with 400+ pages of everything from concept art, to instruction manuals, to just gorgeously rendered portraits from the entirety of the series, punctuated by behind the scenes stories and interviews from Zelda's creators.
Mega Man Nenodroid figure
Between Mega Man 11's surprise announcement, and his surprise appearance in Monster Hunter World, it's a good time to be a fan of the Blue Bomber. This $40 figure is a good way to celebrate. With interchangeable expressions, optional prop parts, and dozens of articulation options, the Nenodroid Mega Man deserves a home on any collector's shelf.
Super Mario Chess Collector's Edition Tin
For any “git gud” folks who thought Mario Odyssey or Mario + Rabbids was too easy, here's your chance to take those sweet Mario skills to the master's game. With all the typical pieces swapped out for Mario appropriate figures, for $35, this Collector's Edition board puts Mario and his friends up against Bowser and his crew. For the record, no, there are no invicibility stars, and even if there were, it wouldn't let you knock over all your opponent's pieces at once.
HyperX Cloud Stinger Gaming Headset
With Destiny 2, PUBG, and Call of Duty WWII out there, it's more important than ever for players to come in loud and clear to their teammates and vice versa. Doing it without breaking the bank can sometimes get tricky, though. For $50, though, HyperX's Cloud Stinger delivers everything competitive players need on multiple platforms: from memory foam cushions for comfortable extended play sessions, to its noise cancelling microphone, which mutes on a swivel.
