Metroid Dread and Cuphead: A Game Based Review of Mario+Rabbits Sparks of Hope, Cuphead, and PowerA Enhanced Wired Controllers
In the storied franchise, Nintendo has a fifth mainline entry, titled Metroid Dread. The 2D side-scroller is a direct sequel to Metroid Fusion, a Game Boy Advance title from 2002. Please read our review.
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is an excellent turn-based strategy game that pairs classic Mario characters with the chaotic Rabbids for an encore performance.
While Ragnarök’s third-person action gameplay feels similar to its predecessor, its story is far more ambitious. As Kratos tries to put away his past, he wants his young son, Atreus, not to follow a path that could lead to discovering his godhood. We have a review.
Cuphead is a bullet-hell game that is inspired by cartoons from the 1930s. It is an unforgiving game, with a high skill ceiling, and little room for error. The Last Course DLC expansion adds Ms. Chalice to the game as a character.
The InZone H3 is a headset that can be used for both PSone and PC. You can create your own audio profile with the InZone companion app and Sony’s Spatial Sound Personalizer.

Amazon’s kid-friendly Paperwhite is the same as the standard Paperwhite, but it’s ad-free and comes with the added benefits of a two-year hardware protection plan, one year of Amazon Kids Plus, and a choice of three kid-friendly covers.
Google’s 11-inch Pixel Tablet uses the same Tensor G2 chip found in the Pixel 7 lineup. It has a magnetic charging dock so you can use it as a smart display.
You can control a large range of devices with just your voice, thanks to the Smart Plug, which does not require a hub.
The video doorbell from blink is the best if you want a buzzer with motion-activated recording and alert, night vision, two-way audio and up to two years of battery life.
A mirrored-finish screen is what the Nest Thermostat has. It doesn’t automatically change your habits, but it’s simple to install and compatible with mostHVAC systems. Read the entire review.

Powering a Smartphone to Lock Your Key: 3D Floodlight Camera, Roomba i9 Plus, iRobot, and DeathAdder
This lock is expensive, dependable and feels good in your hand, but don’t need to replace your whole deadbolt. If you keep your existing key, it’s possible to auto-unlock it as you get home. You need to prepare to stock those CR123 batteries if the battery life is poor.
The Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro delivers high-quality video with adjustable, accurate motion detection, 2,000 lumens of light, and a good digital zoom. It offers smart alerts for people or motion and works with Ring or Alexa apps but not any other smart home platform.
The iRobot Roomba s9 Plus has filters to remove pet hair and mold as well as a square front to sweep away objects more efficiently.
The Roomba i4, which is virtually identical to the Roomba i3 Evo, cleans just as well as the j7 but won’t avoid clutter and doesn’t have app-enabled clean zones or keep-out zones.

Prime Big Deal Days: Finding the Best Deals for the Most Valuable Electronics on Amazon and other Technicolor Devices and Accessories
That time of the year is upon us again. Amazon’s latest Prime Day event, Prime Big Deal Days, is now upon us. The exclusive sales event unofficially kicks off the early, early holiday shopping season, and with it comes a cavalcade of deals and discounts. Some deals are going to be the same as ones you’ve encountered at a random sale, while some are going to be the best prices of the year.
If you’re in the market for earbuds, headphones, smart home devices, smartwatches, or Android phones, you’re likely to find a worthwhile deal. For each great deal, however, there are likely to be 20-odd trash ones that are crowding the space for your attention. That’s why our team of reviewers and expert deal hunters is working tirelessly to compile the best tech deals that Amazon has to offer on devices and accessories that are actually worthwhile (as well as any counter deals happening elsewhere for non-Prime members looking to save).

The Roku Streambar is a 14-inch soundbar that has a 4K / HDR streaming device inside of it, so you don’t need to purchase a separate set-top box. This provides audio as well as the content that you might want to watch via HDMI to your TV.
If you want a more cinematic and immersive TV viewing experience, add these Govee backlights to your 55- or 65-inch TV. They work with any content, and you can get this kit for far less than competing models from Philips Hue.
The Pixel 7A features a number of features that are hard to find, such as a wireless charging feature and an immunity rating for dust and water resistance. It isn’t the cheapest phone in the class but it is the one that is best suited for going the distance.
The hinge on the new GALAXY Z FOLD 5 makes the device folds flat, which is much different from its predecessor. It still has a 7.6 inches inner display, but it is powered by the same 8 Gen 2 processor found in the S23 phones.
The SteelSeries Arena 3 is an entry level speaker. They don’t come with a subwoofer or RGB lighting, but they do feature four-inch drivers and 3.5mm ports.
