The best anime of 2024 so far

Have you ever wanted to play some of the video games you grew up with? There’s nothing like taking a trip down memory lane with our 8-bit heroes of yesteryear, but not everyone has a classic console hanging around to re-experience these titles with. Fortunately, we live in a world of console emulators, which means you won’t have to spend precious weekend time trying to find a PS2 or SNES at that indie game store that’s 25 miles away.

Granblue Fantasy Relink, a surprise hit that's managed to stand out in a year positively stuffed with JRPGs, is barely a month old but already rolling out an exciting roadmap of free content that starts with a new boss coming this Thursday, March 14.

As the Xbox Game Pass program has grown, so has our list of the best games on Xbox Game Pass. After the launch of the Xbox Series X, Microsoft has doubled down on Game Pass, now offering well over 350 games on the console alone. To help you through option paralysis, we rounded up the top games on Microsoft’s subscription platform.

Mario Day is right around the corner. We’ve still got a few days left until March 10 (MAR10 — get it?), but Nintendo and a handful of U.S. retailers are already offering some discounts on games, Lego sets, and collectibles featuring Mario and other denizens of the Mushroom Kingdom. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or want to gift something special to the Nintendo fan in your life, this is a prime opportunity to get more for your coins.

Finding ways to level up members of your party fast in is the best way to deal with various challenges found throughout your adventure. As enemies and bosses get stronger in later story Chapters, your team needs to be prepared for tougher fights. Taking the time to farm EXP through different tasks will let your party grow in strength to face future obstacles head-on.

It’s no secret that Megan Thee Stallion is a huge anime fan.

Some say it’s the Lifestream that makes the world go round in Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth, but we all know the real answer is Gil. Cloud may be on a quest to save the world from Sephiroth, but he’s still a merc who wants to get paid for his efforts. Plus, there are a ton of expensive items to gather up on your journey, such as Materia, Accessories, Armor, and Queen’s Blood cards. You’ll need some very deep pockets if you want to buy everything that catches your eye, but Gil isn’t the easiest thing to come by. We’ve done all the odd jobs and activities around Gaia to give you the best ways to grind for Gil in Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth.

Adding a faster, high-capacity 4TB SSD gives you a ton of cushion for installing heaps of programs and games that have become storage gobblers these days, but it is not the most affordable path for anyone, regardless of whether you are inserting one in your PS5, a desktop or laptop computer. However, we have compiled six options that we believe will go easy on your wallet and provide adequate performance for getting things done quickly that and, of course, firing up your games and applications quicker. Here are all the 4TB M.2 PCIe Gen 4 SSDs you can get for March without burning a hole through your balance sheet.

Picking a new, high-end PC gaming monitor isn’t fun. Once you know your budget, you then have to consider the image resolution, refresh rate, and size that’s right for your desk, not to mention the actual quality of the screen. Even after you select a brand, you’re still stuck sifting through monitor names that read like poorly considered email passwords. Do you want the S32BG85 or the OL231UHD? (Only one of those is real!)

It’s been a minute since we’ve had a solid discount on the PlayStation 5, but Best Buy has the first big deal of the year. Right now you can pick up the Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 bundle for just $449.99 (was $499.99). This bundle includes a copy of the game and the newer, slim version of the disc-based PlayStation 5. At its regular price, this bundle already saves you the $69.99 cost of buying the game on its own. And, with Best Buy’s $50 off sale on top of that, it’s effectively paying you to play Spider-Man 2.
