This Strange Monster Hunter Wilds Weapon Lets You Team Up With Insects

Card Games, Game On!, Savings Galore, Tabletop Treasures

I like choosing the strangest weapons in almost every game I play. I can’t help it. And much to my enjoyment, Monster Hunter Wilds gives me some good options. Although the Charge Blade earns some major cool points for its transforming gimmick, there is nothing quite like fighting alongside a bug with the Insect Glaive. This weapon requires resource management and excellent knowledge of the beasts you’re fighting. While it is a complicated tool to use, learning how to use the Insect Glaive is a worthy endeavor if you’re looking for a unique experience, or if you share my love of strange weaponry. One of the most defining aspects of the Insect Glaive is the usage of Kinsects. Heading out with this weapon also means that you’ll bring along a bug to assist you by attacking enemies and extra...

Mario Kart World for Nintendo Switch 2

Customer Service, Game On!, Savings Galore

The Massively Interconnected Open World Mario Kart’s biggest new addition centers around a huge, new Forza Horizon-style world filled with tons of courses to race against friends and enemies on. Instead of just having a series of tracks you select from a menu (although you’ll have that option too) Mario Kart World features a massive playground you can explore at your own pace on your own or with friends. You use this place to cruise around for fun or launch into races, Grand Prix tournaments, and more. It’s also packed with collectibles and hidden secrets and areas, and while we don’t know just yet what the rewards will be for finding things hidden throughout this world, we’re hoping it’s stuff like karts or costumes, or that you’ll be able to spend coins in some kind of shop for cool c...

Lego Transformers Optimus Prime Is Finally Back In Stock With A Big Discount

Board Games, Discounts & Specials, Game On!, Gamer's Paradise

The extremely cool Optimus Prime Lego set has been difficult to find in stock at any retailer for months, but the Autobot leader has quietly transformed his Amazon listing to in stock with Prime delivery. Considering how scarce the 1,508-piece Lego Transformers kit has been--it was sold out even before the holiday shopping season--it's somewhat surprising that Amazon is also offering a 20% discount that drops the price of Optimus Prime to $144 (was $180). Amazon's deal matches the all-time low price that we've previously seen during big sales events like Black Friday. We wouldn't be surprised to see this 2-in-1 build--Optimus can quickly switch between mech and truck modes--sell out again soon. If Amazon sells out, it's worth noting that the Lego Store restocked Optimus Prime, too, but ...

The official Cyberpunk 2077 board game is 27% off

Board Games, Discounts & Specials, Game On!, Tabletop Treasures

The transition from tabletop to video game, then back to tabletop, is something that few franchises have done successfully. Yet Cyberpunk has done it with relative ease. The Gangs of Night City board game from CMON borrows the setting and much of the styling of CD Projekt Red’s first-person RPG, Cyberpunk 2077, and turns it into something that players can dig into over the course of 90-minute sessions. If you love the inner-workings of the neon-drenched franchise, I suggest checking out Gangs of Night City while it’s selling at a good price on Amazon. Originally $109.99, the title is $80.28. Players: 1-4, aged 14+ Playtime: 90-120 mins. From the miniatures masters at CMON, this action board game raised nearly $900,000 on Kickstarter. Unlike the prequel games published by Monster Fig...
