‘Tis the season of Fallout, and to celebrate we’re seeing the return of one of our favorite bundles on Fanatical. A massive 82% discount on every PC release makes this a must-see for anyone getting into the franchise - you’re spending less on the full collection than you would a couple of these games by themselves. 

Amazon’s been handing out plenty of discounts as part of its Gaming Week sale, but Nintendo Switch deals seem to be suffering. There just aren’t any major discounts on games for Ninty’s handheld - and the savings that are there… are already being beaten by Walmart. 

There's an abundance of budget-minded gaming mice on the shelves, and many of them offer excellent bang for your buck value. Ruling them all, though, is the Razer Basilisk V3, a wired multi-genre pointer I gave top marks back when I reviewed it in 2021. 

I picked up a Razer Barracuda X gaming headset for the first time back in 2021, and it's had a permanent spot in my roster since then (barring a quick upgrade to the 2022 version). After spending hours tinkering with EQ settings, connections, and profiles and presets for all the best gaming headsets that get released into the wild, I love going back to the simple no-fuss approach taken by the Barracuda. It's comfortable, sounds great, holds its battery well, and can connect to a wide range of platforms - it's also at a record low price right now. 

The Alienware M18 stormed the shelves last year, riding a wave of larger gaming laptops making their way back into the mainstream. After testing a number of behemoths from various brands, though, I came to the conclusion that the aliens have done it best. Between the cheaper configuration options compared to Razer and Asus, and the turbo charged power under the hood, the Alienware M18 was a standout rig for me last year - and it made its way to my ranking of the best gaming laptops on the market because of it. 

Skull and Bones is still relatively new to the shelves, and so far it's resisted discounts. The live service pirate adventure from Ubisoft has held its $69.99 MSRP well, surviving countless flash sales and spring discounts. That all changed when the game took its first discount just a few days ago, and now Best Buy has swooped in with a record low. 

Amazon Prime Day might be a few months away yet, but the retailer's current Spring Sale has everyone flocking to those virtual aisles. Wade against the masses, though, and you'll find some fantastic Nintendo Switch deals sitting pretty on Walmart's shelves. These prices are the lowest they've been all year - and sit at almost the same position we were expecting to see over Prime Day proper. 

I was there on day one, November 19 2020 (for us UK folk). I knew immediately what that knock at the door meant - it was here. I ripped open the boxes. New PS5 console? Nah, in the bin. Extra DualSense controller? Bye. Wife and kids? They don't exist, but if they did they'd be sacked off. Then I got to the bottom of the pile and found a small blue box with all my hopes and dreams encased. It was time for Godfall. 

PS5 deals have hit both the US and UK in Amazon's Spring Sale, offering up a fantastic Spider-Man 2 bundle with a price cut to boot in the former region and a record discount on the console itself across the pond. That means players on both sides of the ocean can grab Sony's latest console with some serious value attached. 

Another weekend, another Best Buy 3 day sale. But this time there's something different. I usually scroll all the way through these flash discounts hoping to find something resembling a new discount on the biggest PS5 games, only to come up with a few bucks off a Nickelodeon or DreamWorks kart racer. This weekend I'm not only seeing some of my favorite games included in Best Buy's PS5 deals, but they're also at prices well worth grabbing. 

Mario Day is nigh! This weekend we'll see the return of one of the most hallowed days in Ninty's calendar; March 10 (it's MAR10 - geddit). Retailers generally take this opportunity to serve up a whole load of Nintendo Switch deals and 2024 is looking no different. 

PS5 Slim deals have been hard to come by so far, but in the last week, we've seen that $499 MSRP start to waver a little. The full cost of the console was slashed by multiple retailers a few days ago, dropping down to $449.99 for a full $50 off. Today, though, Best Buy has done one better. 

The 8BitDo retro hot-swappable keyboard caught my attention just before the holidays, and it's since been a staple in my rotation. At $99, this NES / Famicom styled device was already well priced - especially considering the hot-swappable switches and additional programmable A / B buttons. 

I've had my hands on plenty of gaming laptops over the year, but there's one model I always look forward to getting on the test bench. The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 has always been a thing of beauty, but it's looking just that little bit prettier today. 

Presidents Day Nintendo Switch deals are here, and we're seeing some particularly comprehensive sales hitting the shelves this week. You can save on everything from Zelda to Yoshi right now - but the real gems are the recent releases. 

Presidents Day sales will officially kick off on February 19 this year, but we're already seeing plenty of discounts across PS5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC on the shelves. From straight discounts on Microsoft's console to bundles throwing in free games with a PS5 Slim, there's plenty for console players to get involved with right now. Not only that, but we're seeing some super low prices on RTX 4070 gaming laptops and some record breaking discounts on PC accessories to boot.
