They combine smart iPhone integration with a dazzling array of fitness, and health-related tech that no other brand can match. They've always topped our list of best watches, including for 2023 . We've compiled a list of the best Apple Watch deals currently available. The Best Apple Watch Deals Apple Watch Nike SE with Cellular for $149 The fact that you can get a fully featured Apple Watch for only $149 is very impressive, especially coming from Apple. Although it was released back in 2020, the 1st gen Apple Watch SE is still a very relevant watch. The 2nd gen Apple Watch SE might have a newer S8 processor, but it's technically only one generation newer than the S5 processor found in the original Watch SE (the S8...

It’s truly bizarre that across the nearly 30 years of Warhammer video games, we haven’t had a single one that attempted to channel the tabletop Warhammer experience by utilizing the genre that feels best suited to do so: CRPGs. But that’s all about to change, as Pathfinder developer Owlcats has been cooking up something to fill this void. During an extensive hands-off demo of Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader, I checked out its extremely chunky turn-based combat system, drowned in its plethora of dialogue options and social skill checks, and nodded approvingly at its lovingly faithful depiction of Warhammer’s morbid universe. While it’s still very early, so far this CRPG is shaping up to be everything I’ve wanted from a Warhammer video game. If you’ve ever played (or even glanced at) a game of Warhammer 40K, then you probably know it’s designed for a hyper-specific kind of nerd who loves calculations, large-scale drama, and an incredibly detailed world one could easily get lost in. Warham...

Ahead of the Meta Quest Gaming showcase later today , the company officially announced the Meta Quest 3, which launches this fall for $499.99. The Meta Quest 3 will feature a next-gen Qualcomm chipset and promises twice the graphics performance of its predecessor. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg touted on his latest Instagram post that the Quest 3 is the company's "most powerful headset yet." A blog post for the announcement notes that the Meta Quest 3 will be compatible with Quest2 games and will have a 40 percent slimmer optic profile compared to its predecessor, the Quest 2. Meta also notes that it has "completely redesigned" the Quest 3's Touch Plus controllers to have a "more streamlined and ergonomic form facto." The Quest 2, which was introduced nearly three years ago, is also getting a price cut of $299.99 for the 128GB model and $349.99 for the 256GB model. This move comes nearly a year after Meta announced it was increasing the prices ...

The confusing, violent, and cataclysmic events we know today as the Bronze Age Collapse shook the Mediterranean 3200 years ago, which is roughly how long it feels like it's been since we last had a main series historical Total War game. But much as Ramesses III led Egypt out of this dark era, Creative Assembly's Sofia studio (which most recently released the semi-mythological A Total War Saga: Troy) brings us Total War: Pharaoh. The mysterious Sea Peoples are coming, and as a variety of competing leaders from the Egyptian, Hittite, and Canaanite cultures, it will be up to us to weather the storm. While we haven't gotten to see the campaign map yet, I was able to get a few details on it. We'll fight over the Nile Valley as far South as Nubia and Kush – modern-day Sudan, basically. Heading North, we'll get to explore Canaan, the region we usually refer to today as the Levant. Opposite Egypt, across the sea, we'll also get to battle for Anatolia, the peninsula t...

Fans are questioning the priorities of Alan Wake developer Remedy Entertainment after it revealed plans to sell a real-world version of the game's collectible thermos despite not making a physical version of the actual sequel. “Good things, like good coffee, take time,” read a tweet from the official Alan Wake 2 account (below). “Airam and Remedy Entertainment, two Finnish household names, have collaborated to bring you the official Oh Deer Diner thermos. Completely true to the thermos bottle found in the game.” The thermos, which is set to go on sale sometime later this year, is based on one of the 100 Deer Diner thermos collectibles that players can hunt down throughout Alan Wake’s six episode story . However, fans of the series were quick to comment that they would rather Remedy Entertainment focussed its efforts on providing fans with a physical version of Alan Wake 2 when it launches later this year. Good things, like good coffee, take time. Airam and Remedy Entertainm...
