Star Wars Cal Kestis Statue

Cal Kestis is one of the most recent figures to be added into the Star Wars canon. This is the star of Respawn’s Jedi: Fallen Order, and Jedi: Survivor. A transparent blue lightsaber has been raised in battle. This gallery diorama captures the juxtaposition between high-action and Jedi focus and discipline. The cloth details on the PVC are also exceptionally detailed. BD-1, of course, is along for the trip to complete the scene. $80

PS5 DualSense Deep Earth collection

The core PS5 controller is still a great choice, even with the many customizable features now available. It’s a good interface for games such as Spider-Man, God of War Ragnarok or Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Deep Earth Collection maintains the same function but offers three new colors – Volcanic Red Cobalt Blue and Sterling Silver. All of them look fantastic if you are ready to replace your old launch controller. $75

The Traces of Two Pasts Novel

It helps complete the story and enhances the gameplay of the game for dedicated fans. $25

What is the most thrilling thing for a young driver to do? Large rear wheels enable real-life drifting just as in games. $300

Nex Playground

Nex Playground is not a new platform for video games. We’ve had similar experiences with the Wii or Kinect.

This goal is achieved with a variety of easy-to navigate experiences, from dancing to whack a mole to fitness apps. All work smoothly and can read the body movements without any problem. The device is simple and fun. A paid subscription will unlock the entire library of games. $200
