Before there was PlayStation and Xbox, before there was Sega, even before there was Nintendo, at least in your home, there was Atari. The studio created Pong which should tell you everything you need to know about how influential it has been on the video game industry. It also got into the home console game by the late 1970s, and if you have been longing to relive that iconic era of gaming, or introduce it to the next generation of gamers, a modern recreation of the Atari 2600 is coming this holiday season.

Starfield has a pretty decent range of clothing for all you fashionistas out there, but every now and then you'll spot an NPC wearing a particularly attractive suit or outfit that puts your own threads to shame. If you were playing Skyrim, you could simply get into your best sneaking position and attempt to undress the person where they stand, but Starfield has no feature that allows you to swipe the clothes that NPCs are wearing. Even murdering them doesn't let you take the clothes off their body.

Hasbro has unveiled its next auto-transforming Robosen Transformers toy as part of its 40th anniversary celebrations is now available for preorders, and it's a whopping 15 inches of the most famous of the Dinobots, Grimlock.

We are two weeks away from Forza Motorsport, and pre-loading began earlier this week for most versions. Fair warning: you'll want to make some room on your PC or Xbox, as Turn 10 Studios' next entry in the racing sim series has quite a hefty file size.

Yes, Kingdom Hearts 4 might officially be in development, but for now, there is no telling when the next game in the series will actually be here. We might have to wait a while, and wherever possible, the best way to fill the Kingdom Hearts-shaped holes in our lives is with other official merch inspired by the games. If that's exactly what you need to bridge the gap between games right now, then you can pre-order Square Enix's light-up Keyblade on Amazon.

It's no secret that Starfield — out now on PC and Xbox Series S/X — is hands down one of the most monumental game launches of the year. For Bethesda, it's a gamble in uncharted territory as they undertake their first new universe in 25 years, set across the stars in a futuristic civilised corner of the Milky Way galaxy. For publisher Xbox, it's an opportunity to bounce back from a lacklustre 2022 slate and dominate the gaming conversation for a long time — probably years, given the staying power director Todd Howard's RPGs are notorious for. With over a thousand planets to explore, dashing factions to align with, and cosmic mysteries bubbling with political intrigue, Starfield aims to be the most complex spacefaring adventure of our generation. As such, it soars gracefully, but not without some turbulence.

The hype train for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was kicked up a gear last week as an extended look at the sequel was shown off during PlayStation's State of Play. The epic second chapter in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy was also given a release date of February 29, 2024. If five more months is too long to wait for more from the series, Square Enix is offering up the opportunity to shave a month off that time and experience some of what the game has to offer early.

We'll admit it, pre-ordering deals is a novel approach to the upcoming discounting season but we'll give this Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Nintendo Switch bundle a pass. If you've been holding out for the return of this $299.99 package, bundling in a standard edition console, a copy of the classic kart racing game, and a three month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online, your Black Friday dreams have come true early. We're seeing the bundle up for grabs at Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart right now - ahead of an October 6 shipping date. 

Although the details about its price and release date are yet to be revealed, images of the very first Umbreon Funko Pop! have finally been shown off. That means every Eeveelution now has a Funko Pop! figure, or at least they will once the Umbreon one is released. To tide you over between now and when that time comes, the Flocked Glaceon Funko Pop! is once again available for pre-order.
