LEGOs are fun to build on your own, and even more enjoyable when doing it with friends. If you’re a fan of the galaxy far, far away or have a little one who just can’t seem to stop talking about the identity and origin of Supreme Leader Snoke, there’s a way to bring an important part of Star Wars to your living room this holiday season.
The LEGO Star Wars: Attack of the Clones Jango Fett’s Starshipset, which usually goes for around $70, just dropped to $56 at Amazon. That’s after the retailer slashed 20% off its retail tag, making the purchase quite affordable. The offer can be grabbed by both Prime and non-Prime members. Even better, all shoppers get to enjoy free delivery with their purchase, so there are no extra costs to worry about. However, we highly recommend getting your orders in quickly because the holiday rush is in full swing, and deals are moving fast.

Great for All Ages
The set is made for ages 9 and up, and comes with a total of 707 pieces. It’s not massive, which is great if you’re planning to grab it for kids and don’t want to overwhelm them with a large project. It’s going to be one of those fun sets that can be brought to life by dedicating just a few hours during the weekend. Since the holiday season is upon us, everyone in the family can join in; maybe by the fireplace with some hot chocolate. Play the Star Wars theme song in the background to get in the feels!
You’ll be building Jango Fett (with dual blasters and jetpack), who is a simple man trying to make his way in the universe, young Boba Fett learning all about family trade, and tall Kaminoan Lama Su minifigures, plus the stunning starship. The attention to detail on the starship is incredible, since it features authentic rotating wings, four stud shooters, and a seismic charge-dropping function for some cool, explosive escapes just in the asteroid chase scene. There’s also an opening cockpit for two minifigures to jump in for some adventures across the Outer Rim, as well as a mobile service cart with ammunition storage. The latter doubles as a display stand.
Once built, the starship is going to measure over 3.5 in. (9 cm) high, 8 in. (21 cm) long, and 8.5 in. (21 cm) wide. It’s going to look stunning on its own, but you can always pair it with others in the LEGO Star Wars collection for a bigger setup that spans multiple star systems. The set also comes with a detailed instruction book that’s going to take younger fans through each step one by one. It’s quite easy to follow, so kids will be able to build on their own. For even more assistance, you can install the LEGO Builder app, which offers digital, 3D instructions. Kids can zoom in from every angle, track their progress, and save sets. The app also makes it easy to build with friends. In this mode, it divides tasks between everyone on board, so everyone can complete their own.
The current discount brings the price of the starship model to just $56. You’re saving a nice 20% on a set any Star Wars fan is going to love and cherish. If you like it, don’t wait too long to grab it. Once the discount is gone, we can’t say whether it will be back anytime soon.
In a glorious broadcast straight from the United Citizen Federation, Dotemu has officially announced Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! This brand-new, retro-style first-person shooter is set to launch in early 2026 on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.
Developed by Auroch Digital, the studio renowned for their work on the fantastic boomer shooter Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, this new title promises a gloriously gory, 3D pixelated combat simulation that puts you right in the middle of the Arachnid menace.
A New Kind of Bug Hunt
While the franchise has seen recent success with squad-based shooters, Ultimate Bug War! takes a different tactical approach. We were huge fans of the last major outing, giving Starship Troopers: Extermination a 4/5 score in our review. We praised its community, noting that “You’ll have a blast playing Starship Troopers: Extermination… the gameplay is genuinely thrilling.“
This new title, however, trades modern fidelity for a stylish, retro aesthetic that fits the satirical tone of the universe perfectly. With Auroch Digital at the helm, players can expect punchy combat, satisfying weaponry, and a love letter to the golden age of shooters.
Welcome Back, General Rico
The Federation has rolled out the big guns for this recruitment drive. General Johnny Rico himself, played by the legendary Casper Van Dien, returns to present this official game of the Federation.
Set 25 years after the events of the original film, the story follows war veteran Samantha Dietz as she recounts her harrowing hunt for the dreadful Assassin Bug during the First Bug War. You will relive her experiences in a streamlined solo campaign, annihilating Arachnids on their familiar home world of Klendathu and venturing to new frontiers like Planet P and beyond.
Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! hands you a devastating arsenal to ensure the only good bug is a dead bug. You’ll wield 14 weapons, including the iconic Morita rifle, and utilise 11 Tactical Supports to turn the tide. And yes, you will even get to pilot a Mech vehicle to dispense maximum justice.
Perhaps the most intriguing feature for citizens looking to prepare themselves fully is the “anti-bug combat training.” This unique mode allows you to play from the perspective of the Bugs, giving you a chance to understand your enemy’s tactics before erasing their insectoid threat from the galaxy.
Service Guarantees Citizenship
The call to arms has been issued. With a legendary protagonist returning, a proven developer behind the trigger, and a unique retro style, Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! is shaping up to be the ultimate training tool for aspiring citizens.
Enlistment begins in early 2026. Would you like to know more?

Marvel Rivals is about to turn one year old, and the developers are celebrating in a big way. First, NetEase released the Anniversary event, bringing many new rewards. However, the game will officially turn one on Saturday, December 6, and this is why you will be able to get even more Units for free.
Right now, you can earn 1,500 Units by just logging in every day. This is a limited-time currency that you can use to purchase cosmetic items by December 18. If you want regular Units, ones that have no expiry date, you will need to get into the game on December 6.
How to get more free Units in Marvel Rivals?
The first batch of free currency comes from a new feature called Rivals Rewind. Starting on December 6, you will be able to access this feature to see a personalized recap of your stats and highlights from the first year of the game. Just by checking out your yearly review and sharing it on social media, you will be rewarded with 200 Units.
The second way to earn rewards is by attending a special Marvel Rivals event. On December 6 at midnight UTC, a massive countdown will happen on the Times Square map. If you participate in the event, you will earn an additional 200 Units.
You can earn both regular and limited-time Units over the next two weeks. Image by VideoGamer
If you can’t make it to the live event, you have nothing to worry about. NetEase has confirmed that players who miss the midnight countdown will still have a chance to claim the rewards. You will be able to claim the free Units within 72 hours after the countdown ends.
This brings the total amount of free currency up to 400 Units, which is a nice bonus for the anniversary. If you want, you can spend this currency to pop balloons and unlock the new Legendary skin for Psylocke in the new event.

— 🌩️ NVIDIA GeForce NOW (@NVIDIAGFN) December 3, 2025
I decided to upgrade my mouse from a cheap unbranded USB wired to the Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless, so here’s my thoughts on it.
I’ve gone through multiple from Razer, a few from VAXEE and various other random brands including at one point being a vertical mouse convert. The problem – my old mouse was starting to come apart. I seem to have this same issue with any mouse I buy. The thumb grip on it was loose, it looked cheap and it started creaking too. All very annoying, so I thought it was actually time for something just a little bit better.
Here’s the thing — I’ve felt like I’ve been just massively spoilt by wireless tech. I use the Steam Deck for gaming often right in my hands, with no wires apart from when it needs some battery juice, and if I’m docking it or gaming at my Linux PC – I use an assortment of wireless controllers. I’ve always felt like with a USB wired mouse that at times I’m just fighting the wire, and considering just how many hours I’m sat using a mouse, it was time to cut the cord. This will also help with my permanent wrist injury with it being a bit more free for movement overall.
Logitech are generally a reasonably good brand, so after some searching I settled on the Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless as it seemed to have a good price point between not cheap and not overly expensive either. It also seemed to be light enough even though it takes one full AA battery.
I’ve now been using it religiously for two and half weeks and their claim of 250 hours battery life so far seems to hold up quite well. That’s with me using it every single day, often forgetting to turn it off with the switch on the bottom at night and so far – I’ve not needed to change the battery. So I am genuinely quite impressed there given the vast hours it’s on and in constant use.
Sensor: HERO
Max. acceleration: 40 G *Tested on Logitech G240 Gaming Mouse Pad
Max. speed: 400 IPS *Tested on Logitech G240 Gaming Mouse Pad
Zero smoothing/acceleration/filtering: Yes
Thanks to the four solid pads on the bottom, it glides effortlessly over my mouse pad and really does feel nice to use. With a one-button click to change the DPI, by default you have a choice between 400, 800,1600 and 3200. For me 1600 is the sweet spot. Any concern with weight has gone too, even with the full sized AA battery inside there’s no issues at all, I can barely feel it which is great for gaming on top of general work.
Noise level isn’t too bad either. The left and right buttons do have a clear audible click to them, but not too loud that it’s annoying. The scroll wheel is the real hero here though. Rolls nicely with your finger, with a clear bump at each level that makes things like quickly swapping weapons while gaming by scrolling effortless without accidental roll-overs.
As impressed as I am with it, there’s one thing holding it back from true greatness. It’s too smooth. Sure it looks good, and don’t get me wrong it feels good. But it’s just too slick, just a bit slippery perhaps even to hold. If it had a slight texture to the top and sides, holding it would pretty much be perfection.
When it comes to software, Logitech don’t support Linux directly like a lot of vendors. But, open source to the rescue (as usual!). The Piper app can detect it, and configure the DPI settings on the button quite nicely!
At £59.99 it’s reasonably priced for what you get, but it’s also quite often on sale (I snagged it for £27.99). Amazon has it right now for £34.99 or direct from Logitech for £29.99.
Fishy Pineapple Jelly is one of the 5-star Entrée Meals added with the Wishblossom Ranch expansion. Players can make this meal for themselves to restore energy or gift it to villagers to increase their Friendship Level. However, this recipe is exclusive to the owners of the expansion. This guide will help you cook Fishy Pineapple Jelly in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
Ingredients for Fishy Pineapple Jelly in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Players can cook the Fishy Pineapple Jelly entrée meal with the following ingredients.
Measuring-Tape Snail is found in the white ripples in all areas of the Glamour Gulch biome. Go to any fishing spot in the biome and look for the white ripples to fish out the Measuring-Tape Snail. Jellied Fish is a rare fish that players can catch from the gold ripples in all areas of the Glamour Gulch biome. Go to any fishing spot in the biome and look for the gold ripples to fish out the Jellied Fish. Crab is a seafood that players can catch in the blue or white ripples in the Frosted Heights biome of the Valley. Look for any blue and white ripples at the fishing spots in the Frosted Heights to fish out the Crab.
Scarlet Kale is a vegetable-type ingredient that players can acquire from growing the Scarlet Kale Seeds. Goofy sells the Scarlet Kale Seeds at his caravan in the Wishblossom Mountains. It costs 15 Star Coins for 1 Scarlet Kale Seed, and it takes 10 minutes to grow. Lastly, players can use any fish as an ingredient to complete the recipe. A few of the common fish are Bass, Bream, Rainbow Trout, and Herring.
How to Cook Fishy Pineapple Jelly in Disney Dreamlight Valley
After gathering all the ingredients for the Fishy Pineapple Jelly, go to any Cooking Station to start making it. Visit any cooking station in the Valley, Eternity Isle, Storybook Vale, or Wishblossom Mountains and interact with it. Then, put the ingredients into the Cooking Pot one by one, and select the “Start Cooking” option to prepare the Fishy Pineapple Jelly Entree Meal. It will cost 1 Coal Ore to finish cooking the Fishy Pineapple Jelly. When you make Fishy Pineapple Jelly for the first time, you will learn the recipe. Next time, you can autofill the ingredients when making Fishy Pineapple Jelly.
Use of Fishy Pineapple Jelly
Players can choose to eat the Fishy Pineapple Jelly to restore 5,000 Energy. Moreover, they can gift it to other villagers to increase their Friendship Level. Lastly, they can sell it to Goofy for 2,700 Star Coins.
KING Art and Deep Silver have announced that a second closed alpha playtest for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV will be taking place next week, with the confirmed dates being December 12th to December 15th. Those who took part in the November closed playtest will automatically be enrolled and emails will be sent on how to join. Those who did not take part in the Novmber closed playtest for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV need to subscribe to the Dawn of War IV newsletter as information on how to take part will be sent through that.
In a statement the developers said, “While this next round of testing will remain relatively small in size, we’re looking to bring on some new testers alongside our existing group of Closed Alpha Testers to provide feedback on the game as we work to shape the future of Dawn of War IV together. As a reminder, these tests utilize an early Alpha Build of the game, with selected testers being required to sign an NDA, as well as agree not to share, discuss, screenshot, or record any part of the test. Additionally, if you don’t already have one, you’ll need to create a free Discord account if selected.”
Only a select few new closed alpha playtesters will be selected for this round of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV playtest, as it will remain small in scale. Future playtests will expand the content available and allow more players to join. When it releases, the game will have over 70 campaign missions which can be played solo or in co-op, and the four factions will include the Space Marines, Orks, Necrons, and the Adeptus Mechanicus. A release date is yet to be confirmed.
A challenging yet high quality game has made appearance for the ZX Spectrum 128k called ‘FloppyVerse’ by JuanGM. A game in which you need to not only transfer recovered floppy disks spread throughout many different levels to your spaceship, but you have a limited amount of moves to do this, while also avoiding enemies within the allotted time. To coincide with this news, provided below is the full story for the game, as well as some of the levels being shown in the gameplay footage.
And here’s the story. “Year 3088. A magnetic storm known as “Checksum Collapse” wiped out almost all solid-state memory in the Milky Way. The only hope is FLP-82, a robot whose mission is to recover data-storage devices scattered across the galaxy—devices that hold crucial information to restore Earth’s systems. Don’t expect to find the data in cutting-edge, cell-sized atomic memories. Scientists built rugged, all-weather artifacts that look like floppy disks. You are FLP-82. Recover every floppy at each location and transfer the information to your spacecraft using a purpose-built data terminal. Needless to say, the future of humanity rests in your hands… or rather, in your microchips.”
Although it had its roots in early PC titles like Alone in the Dark and bizarre NES games such as Sweet Home, the survival horror genre didn’t truly get underway until the fifth generation of consoles with Resident Evil.
What started with an escape from a decrepit mansion has spawned an entire cottage industry. Both indie and AAA developers have become rather adept at this style of game, which is not surprising considering they’ve had a lot of practice since 1996.

10 Most Difficult Survival Horror Games, Ranked
Who ever mentioned surviving a horror situation would be easy? Nobody, and you can feel that difficulty in these games.
Every console generation since then has had some form of survival horror game. It’s right up there with JRPGs and first-person shooters in terms of prolificness, so you won’t have to look far during a console’s life to find a dreaded tale of horrific nightmares to escape from.
As we look back at the previous five generations of survival horror games on home consoles, it’s important to note how much this genre has evolved and expanded itself. Each generation has improved on something in some way, and the strength of this style of game shines through immaculately.

Resident Evil 2
Fifth Generation
The original Resident Evil may have codified a lot of the elements that make this genre what it is, but the sequel wasn’t just an improvement. In many ways, it’s still the blueprint for how to make a game like this work.
Sometimes it’s hard to determine what makes a game perfect, but I truly believe Resident Evil 2 is perfect. Everything about its pace, structure, and story is flawless.
The pre-rendered backgrounds are some of the best the console has ever seen, and the 3D characters are a seamless fit. It’s one of the best uses of the technique ever seen during this era.
It also has some unique writing for the time. There’s a certain otherworldly, almost Shakespearean way to how the characters speak. It’s something the franchise would never do again, but it works so well here.
4
Silent Hill 2
Sixth Generation
To this day, the leap from PS1 to PS2 is the most impressive graphical jump of all time to me. It felt like we had moved into the future overnight.
No game was more evident of that than Silent Hill 2. Even now, it’s a game that doesn’t seem possible to achieve.
The lifelike faces and dingy corridors of the Otherworld are just spectacular. It has some of the most consistent art direction in the entire Silent Hill franchise.
There was no survival horror game as good as this one during the sixth-generation of home consoles. There are a few, like Rule of Rose and Haunting Ground, that come close, but Silent Hill 2 is still in a class all its own.
3
The Last Of Us
Seventh Generation
Of all the games on this list, I have replayed The Last of Us more than any of them by a mile. In spite of its dark, oppressive story, I find some unusual comfort in its discomfort.
There were a lot of excellent survival horror games during the seventh-generation. Dead Space and Condemned 2 spring to mind, but none of them even came close to The Last of Us.

From Runners to Rat King, a definitive ranking for all Infected from The Last of Us
The cross-country journey of Joel and Ellie to find a cure for humanity is one of the most harrowing survival horror adventures of all time. It’s filled with so many memorable moments and haunting encounters.
The way it makes survival feel like a genuine concern is still so impressive. Ammo scarcity feels far more genuine than other games in the genre, and Naughty Dog’s ability to create drama through that is impeccable.
2
Dying Light
Eighth Generation
During the long, painful wait for Dead Island 2, it was rather alarming to watch Techland abandon the sequel in favor of a completely new IP. It’s good to see developers freed of any sort of shackles, but I found myself a little wary of Dying Light.
The original Dead Island is one of my favorite games of all time. The prospect of Techland doing a completely new thing left me cautiously optimistic.
I was thankful to have my concerns laid to rest, as Dying Light became one of the best games of its generation, and the eighth-generation’s most outstanding survival horror experience.
The fear it creates when nightfall rolls around is still fabulous. It was different in a lot of ways from Dead Island, but retained all that game’s commitment to a fun survival experience.
1
Alan Wake 2
Ninth Generation
I found myself filled with excitement when Remedy’s Sam Lake described Alan Wake 2 as the studio’s first survival horror game. There were certainly elements of that in the first game, but the commitment to that in the sequel was just one of many reasons to be hyped.
After waiting so long, perhaps the scariest thing about Alan Wake 2 was that it would be a disappointment. Thankfully, it more than lived up to expectations.
The dual character story, intimidating enemies, outlandish plot – all of it is textbook for the genre. It ticks all the boxes and then some.
Alan Wake 2 may have taken some time to finally arrive, but the wait was worth every second. No survival horror experience this generation has even come close to this absolute masterpiece.
