With EOFY chaos still lingering in digital storefronts, this week’s gaming deals are a treasure trove of gold-plated discounts and cult classics ripe for the picking. Whether you're looking to binge your backlog or dip into something new before tax season wipes you out, I've found you hidden value on every platform. Let's get to it!
This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I’m using my Flame Shard technique to ignite a 20-candle cake for Jade Empire. Released on the OG Xbox by BioWare, this RPG was a bold departure from the studio's previous titles, blending real-time combat with a rich narrative steeped in Chinese mythology. I have fond memories of assuming the role of the Last Spirit Monk, navigating a world filled with gods, demons, and moral choices that shaped my journey while reaffirming my lack of IRL decency.
The game's unique setting and incorporation of a constructed language, Tho Fan, added depth to its immersive world-building. Also, the Bruce Lee fan in me simply liked meeting new foes, asking them if they were thirsty, and then serving them a large glass of wa-taaa. Sadly, despite its innovative design and storytelling, Jade Empire didn't achieve the commercial success of BioWare's later franchises and remains a cult classic to fans like me.
Nintendo players can snag Persona 5 Royal, a game that took over a decade of ATLUS iteration to reach its definitive form. Also worth grabbing is Unicorn Overlord, the tactics-heavy gem from Vanillaware. The director of this title previously worked on the cult PS2 hit Odin Sphere, so you just know it's good.
Over on Xbox Series X, RoboCop: Rogue City nails the ‘80s aesthetic so well it even includes fake TV ads and in-world news segments written by actual screenwriters from the original film trilogy. Tekken 8 also throws fists with flair. The team used motion capture from real martial artists to make King’s wrestling combos that extra bit ridiculous.
PS5 deals include Judgment, the Yakuza spin-off that cast a real-life Japanese heartthrob, Takuya Kimura. His agency once blocked PC ports due to likeness rights. And for something epic, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Edition offers the full Miyazaki soul-crushing package in one tidy bundle.
Finally, PC players shouldn’t miss Disco Elysium – The Final Cut, a game so narratively rich its script reportedly contains over a million words. Also, Celeste isn’t just a platformer. It began life as a PICO-8 prototype and wound up winning a BAFTA.
Sega has addressed Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Master Crafted Edition's rocky launch, extending its refund policy for the game, offering a 50% upgrade path discount, and promising a string of patches.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Master Crafted Edition is a re-release of Relic Entertainment’s 2011 action game, Space Marine. Both Games Workshop and publisher Sega are not calling this a remaster. Instead they point to quality-of-life and graphical improvements "that take the Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine experience to the next level."
These include higher fidelity and improved textures, 4k resolution, "improved" character models, a modernized control scheme and interface overhaul, and remastered audio.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Master Crafted Edition launched on June 10 across Xbox Series X and S and PC, and straight into Game Pass (there’s no word on a PS5 version). While it appears to be going down okay on Game Pass, on Steam, where Space Marine - Master Crafted Edition costs $39.99 / £34.99, it has a ‘mostly negative’ user review rating.
In a post on Steam, Sega said “we’ve heard your concerns around pricing,” and outlined the steps it was taking. To start, it has extended its refund window for Master Crafted Edition to July 10. This means that if you bought the game you can get a full refund, regardless of playtime, as long as you request it before 6pm BST / 10pm PST on July 10, 2025 (when the Steam Summer Sale ends).
Meanwhile, there is, as so many fans had asked for, now a 50% upgrade discount. If you own Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Anniversary Edition, you’re eligible for a 50% discount when buying the Master Crafted Edition until 6pm BST / 10pm PST July 10 2025 when the discount offer ends.
Yes, that means if you already bought the Master Crafted Edition and qualify for the discount, you’ll need to request a refund manually via Steam Support (before July 10) then re-buy the game at the discounted price.
“We know this situation has been frustrating for some of you, and we’re sorry for the confusion it’s caused,” Sega added. “We hope this approach offers a workable solution while we continue improving the game itself.”
Speaking of which, Sega released the patch roadmap for Master Crafted Edition. It includes a number of improvements all due out in the coming weeks. Highlights include user interface enhancements, fixes for the game running on Steam Deck, and networking improvements. The details are below.
“We’ll continue listening, improving, and communicating as these changes go live,” Sega concluded. “Thanks for sticking with us.”
Warhammer 40,000 video games have been on a great run lately, with the likes of Space Marine 2 leading the charge of well-received, successful titles. Space Marine - Master Crafted Edition is a rare misstep, then, ahead of the launch of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War Definitive Edition later this year.

Vin Diesel has confirmed a release window for Fast X: Part 2, and the return of Paul Walker's character, Brian O'Conner.
The action movie star turned up at FuelFest in Los Angeles to confirm the April 2027 launch for Fast X: Part 2, offering a few words in the process. Vin Diesel said he’s bringing the franchise back to LA, the movie will return to street racing car culture, and he’s reuniting Dom (Vin Diesel’s character) and Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker's character).
Vin Diesel’s comments tally with those he made in 2023, when he teased a goodbye for the late Paul Walker's character, Brian O'Conner. Paul Walker, who died in 2013 aged 40, was best known for his role as Brian O'Conner in the Fast & Furious franchise, having starred in 2001’s The Fast and the Furious and, most recently, in 2023’s Fast X via archive footage.
The question now is, how will Dom and Brian reunite for Fast X: Part 2? Walker had already shot scenes for Furious 7 when he died in a car accident, and many fans have said they believe the franchise has already given the late actor an appropriate send off.
Vin Diesel's comments about returning to street racing and car culture for this franchise finale are of course a response to just how outlandish the series has become. Early movies were grounded in illegal street racing, but recent entries are more all-out action movies, something more like G.I. Joe than racing cars.
There’s also the question of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson’s potential involvement in the film. In January, Vin Diesel walked back a dig he made at Johnson while presenting an award at the 2025 Golden Globes. Diesel posted an older photo of him and Johnson on Instagram alongside the caption "All love... Always," after Diesel poked fun at the infamous feud between the pair by saying, "Hey, Dwayne," during his award presentation and enjoying the audience's laughter.
Despite starring alongside each other in Fast 5, Furious 6, and Fast and Furious 7, with Diesel playing Dominic Toretto and Johnson playing Luke Hobbs, a spat arose between the two and was made public when Johnson called Diesel a "chicken s**t" and "candy-ass" co-star.
Diesel told Men's Health this was because of the "tough love" he gave Johnson, "to assist in getting that performance where it needed to be."
Johnson posted on X/Twitter in 2023 that he and Diesel "put all the past behind us," and will "lead with brotherhood and resolve." They "always take care of the franchise, characters, and fans that we love," he said.

F1 The Movie got off to a fast start at the box office, racing to a $55.6 million domestic debut and $88.4 million internationally for a global launch weekend of $144 million. However, fellow new release M3GAN 2.0 struggled with a global debut of $17.158 million, down significantly on its predecessor.
F1 The Movie, which sees Brad Pitt drive F1 cars for real at top speeds, is a rare box office hit for Apple. Indeed F1 looks set to lap Apple’s previous theatrical efforts at the box office, including Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon and Ridley Scott’s Napoleon.
IGN’s F1: The Movie review returned a 7/10. We said: “F1: The Movie follows the sports movie playbook almost perfectly, finding ways to be just that much better at nearly every stage of its 156-minute runtime — creating a super fun racecar flick in the process that eventually finds its way to victory lane.”
Blumhouse’s M3GAN 2.0 saw $10.2 million domestically and just $6.958 million internationally during launch weekend, which suggests the first M3GAN movie, released in December 2022, may have been a lightning in a bottle moment with its eventual $180 million global haul.
IGN’s M3GAN 2.0 review saw a 6/10. We said: “M3GAN 2.0 hotswaps horror for sci-fi/action to mixed results, but M3GAN’s absolutely heinous wit and killer moves leave her, and not the new genres, the star of the show.”
Meanwhile, 28 Years Later is now up to $103 million globally, the highest of the franchise, after two weekends. The live-action How To Train Your Dragon film is on an impressive $454.436 million globally. Elio, which endured the worst opening in Pixar history last weekend, continues to struggle. After two weekends it’s on just $72.3 million.
Disney will be delighted with the live-action Lilo & Stitch movie, however. After just six weekends it’s grossed $946 million and remains on course to crack a billion dollars at the box office, especially with the school holidays about to kick in.
And for those keeping score, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning is on $561.99 million after six weekends, Karate Kid: Legends crossed $100 million at the global box office this weekend, Final Destination Bloodlines is on $283.3 million, and Sinners hit $368 million.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of the best games of 2025. However, for some weird reason, the game did not have a minimap.

Created … Continue reading Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 finally gets a minimap, thanks to a mod→

From the drive-thru mishap in “Boy-Scoutz ’n the Hood” to Homer’s clown-car joyride in “Homie the Clown,” Krusty Burger is about as ubiquitous as a Duff at Moe’s. So it’s only fitting that LEGO, in its infinite wisdom, has immortalised this bastion of corporate mediocrity in brick form. Behold Set #10352: a fully-furnished Krusty Burger oozing with enough nostalgia to clog up my heart quicker than a Partially Gelatinated Non-Dairy Gum-Based Beverage.
Right out of the box, you assemble Homer’s car (yes, the one decked with Krusty decals from “Homie the Clown” Season 6, Episode 15). Remember Homer’s immortal vow? “I’ll kill that Krusty Burglar for stealing my burgers!”? Well, the designers didn’t forget either: a tiny poster warns of the Krusty Burglar, and one cash register displays “$6.15,” a cheeky nod to S6E15. It’s the sort of sly wink that makes you feel like you’ve won the trivia jackpot at Luigi’s.
Meanwhile, Maggie’s scanner comes pre-set to “$847.63” (the very sum she rings up during the opening credits of The Simpsons Movie). Then, slide into the dining area and you’ll spot the Krusty’s Kidz Zone ball pit while across the way sits the poster for the glorious Ribwich.
And hey, hey, don’t overlook the Mother Nature Burger advert (a flashback to the eco-friendly fiasco in “Bart vs. Thanksgiving,” where Homer’s dietary curiosity led to ecological chaos and a very angry turkey). Lastly if you lean in close, you can practically hear Sideshow Bob muttering “An aha! moment, I do believe” as he plots his next burger-related mischief.
Behind the counter is where the real action happens. Expect to singe a whiny teengaer's claw hand in a fry station with a broken ice-cream machine, a prep area stacked high with Krusty Burgers (that minimalist LEGO ethos on full display: one tan brick, two studs, and you’ve got yourself a patty), plus an employee loo. There’s even a drive-thru window, complete with a menu board demanding “700 Krusty Burgers” ala “Boy-Scoutz ’n the Hood” (Season 5, Episode 8), when Krusty’s oil-rig franchise ran wholesale orders to the scouts. It’s these tiny flourishes that transform a simple build into a pilgrimage for fanatics.
Now, you might ask: why build Krusty Burger when LEGO has already given us the Simpsons’ house and the Kwik-E-Mart? True, the Evergreen Terrace home debuted in 2014 and Apu’s neon oasis arrived in 2015, but Krusty Burger has always been the unsung hero of Springfield’s commercial landscape. Unlike Moe’s Tavern, where happiness is just a flaming drink away, Krusty Burger’s corporate ubiquity means it’s always been a blank canvas.
LEGO designer Ann Healy scoured dozens of episodes, including “One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish” (Season 2, Episode 11) where Homer’s dietary adventures almost ended in pufferfish calamity, to nail the perfect canon layout. She joked in our exclusive chat, “If I counted all the times Krusty Burger appears, I’d need a Duff to calm my nerves,” which is about as Swartzwelder-worthy as it gets.
The build itself is straightforward enough that even Kent Brockman could do it live on air without missing a beat, yet detailed enough to prompt a Marge-style raised eyebrow of approval. Piece by piece, you construct the drive-thru lane, the iconic red-and-white façade, the slanted roof… and before you know it, you’re hosting your own “Mmm, corporate grease” luncheon for seven minifigures: Homer, Bart, Lisa, Farmer Krusty, Sideshow Bob, the Squeaky-Voiced Teen and Officer Lou. Pretty generous stuff.
And speaking of attendance, the minifigs themselves are dead ringers. Sideshow Bob looks ready to sweep the floor with his coiffured hair, while Farmer Krusty’s blue overalls and straw hat perfectly recall his ill-fated “Cletus‒style” dalliances. Bart’s skateboard fits right into that Kidz Zone, and Lisa’s expression captures her eternal conflict over processed cheese and its effect on the environment.
Ten years have passed since the last minifigure-scale Simpson set hit shelves, and in that decade LEGO’s fan base has swelled like Comic Book Guy’s waistline after a two-for-one promotion. We deserve more playsets—Moe’s Tavern, the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, maybe even a diorama of the Android’s Dungeon. But for now, Krusty Burger stands supreme: 1,635 pieces of nostalgia, wit, and corporate satire, retailing for A$329.99 (plus whatever you paid the Squeaky-Voiced Teen for that extra soft drink).
So whether you’re a fan who can recite the entire script of “Last Exit to Springfield” or you simply know that a Krusty Burger is the best steamed ham on the market, this set is your grease-covered Graceland. Here's hoping LEGO is inspired to release more landmarks from this universe. And here's also hoping I don't have to sell my kidneys to acquire the original Simpsons House set as I didn't have the good sense to buy it back in 2014.
LEGO The Simpsons: Krusty Burger, Set #10352, retails at LEGO AU for $329.95, and it is composed of 1635 pieces. You can purchase it here.

This Legend of Zelda canvas wall art is the perfect gift for any Zelda fan. It recreates the timeless Great Wave off Kanagawa by Katsushika Hokusai, but with a fun Wind Waker twist. It's the same exact art, but now Link and the King of Red Lions are sailing in the foreground. It's silly, fun, and a great mash-up of the famous painting and one of the best Zelda games of all time. If you're looking for a great Legend of Zelda gift for yourself or the Nintendo fan in your life, this is definitely worth considering.
The Legend of Zelda Great Wave off Kanagawa Canvas
There are 16 different versions of the print, with five main configurations. There's regular gallery wrapped, black-framed, 3-piece, 4-piece, and 5-piece versions to pick from, so you have plenty of variety to find the right one for your nerdy interior decorating. Each of the divided versions come in medium and large versions, and the gallery wrapped and black-framed styles come in five sizes.
They vary in price between $39.99 and $29.99. The 24 by 18-inch gallery wrapped version is 7% off, now at $69.99 while the 4-piece medium is also 7% off, bringing the price to $129.99.
Now is the perfect time to pick one of these up, since The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker has gotten a second wind (nailed it) on Nintendo Switch 2. You can access the game on the Nintendo Switch Online GameCube app along with Soul Calibur 2 and F-Zero GX, with many more to come. The Wind Waker is one of my personal favorites, and we gave the 2002 original a 9.6, saying that it's "a masterful achievement -- a shining example, in fact, of how video games should be made and a case study for developers wondering what makes a compelling game".

We’re past the halfway point of 2025. Crazy, I know. To help you avoid the existential dread of that realization, think about the plus side: a batch of new arrivals on all your favorite streaming services!
Next month, Disney’s streaming service will be wrapping up the MCU’s Ironheart, celebrating Sharkfest, and getting plenty of new additions from the Disney Channel. Here’s a look at what’s coming to Disney+ in July.
Everything Coming to Disney+ in July
July 1
Ironheart Season 1 (episodes 4-6)
Critter Fixers: Country Vets Season 6 (12 episodes)
Lost Treasures of Egypt Season 5 (10 episodes)
Disney+ is kicking off July with the final three episodes of the MCU’s latest series. As IGN’s review of the first three episodes explains, “Riri was previously introduced as the tech prodigy whose vibranium detector kicks off the plot of 2022’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Ironheart is her origin story.” The streaming service is also picking up the latest seasons of two Nat Geo series.

A brief interruption from the shark-themed festivities, though maybe not too far off-topic depending on your perspective. Ancient Aliens: Origins aired on the History Channel last year.

Why Isn't My Dress to Impress Code Working?
If the code you're trying to redeem in DTI isn't working, it's likely because of one of two reasons:
The Dress to Impress code is expired
There's a spelling mistake in the code
When inputting a DTI code in Roblox, make sure it's spelled correctly (for example, a capital I isn't a lowercase l, 0 and not O, and vice versa) and that there are no spaces before or after the code. We'd recommend copying and pasting codes straight from our article to ensure they're correct as we've tested and verified that the codes on this page are working ourselves.
If your DTI code still isn't working after checking for typos, it's more than likely expired and can no longer be redeemed in Dress to Impress.

To get more Dress to Impress codes, the best way is to join the official DTI Discord server. While we check for new codes daily, the quickest way to know about new Dress to Impress codes is to follow the Roblox experience's official Discord server where updates are posted in real time.

Well here’s something I wasn’t expecting to say before this weekend: the Formula One movie is one of the best films released so far this year. 2025 has had some solid hits, such as Sinners, The Assessment, 28 Years Later, and Final Destination Bloodlines (really!), and now we can add F1 to the list. Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski is back with yet another meat and potatoes studio crowd-pleaser starring an aging movie star who proves he’s Still Got It™ via a fast-moving vehicle as metaphor for masculine self-actualization, this time replacing fighter jets with, you guessed it, Formula One race cars. It’s the kind of movie that knows exactly what it wants to be and executes it with care and precision.
Let’s delve into the film’s spoilery details and how F1 proves that Kosinski is one of the best blockbuster directors currently working.
A Fine-Tuned Machine
What makes F1 being as good as it is something of a surprise is that it’s essentially one giant advertisement. Yes, it’s telling a story about Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a has-been Formula One racer who gets a second shot at glory decades later as part of a failing F1 team, but given how involved the real-life FIA is in the film (Ferrari F1 racer Lewis Hamilton even has a producing credit on it), it’s hard to argue that trying to widen the appeal of the Formula One World Championship isn’t one of the primary motives for the film getting made in the first place. In the same way that Top Gun: Maverick is a piece of slickly-produced Air Force propaganda, F1 is a $200 million dollar branding exercise for the world’s premiere racing league.
That said, one of my cardinal beliefs is that you can make a good movie out of anything, and F1 proves that and then some. In the same way that similarly corporate productions like Lord and Miller’s The LEGO Movie or Greta Gerwig’s Barbie transcended their cynical origins as glorified toy commercials by hiring smart creatives to lead the charge (hell, this is the Transformers brand’s entire thing), F1 sees Kosinski and Maverick screenwriter Ehren Kruger jumping back into the mode that brought them so much success on their previous effort: the proverbial “dad movie,” with a disciplined directorial style and one of the few remaining bankable stars serving as a signal to the audience that they’re in for the kind of old school movie-making sensibility we used to take for granted.
At a time when many big budget movies are, to steal a phrase from Darth Vader, choking on their aspirations, it’s refreshing to sit in front of F1 and feel like everyone involved was simply trying to make the best movie they could. There are no misguided franchise ambitions, premature sequel teases, nostalgic callbacks to better movies from years ago, distracting metatextual conceits, or a sense that the movie is compromised by committee. It’s also not seeking to outsmart the genre it’s working with, something that’s plagued recent films like Glass Onion or Joker: Folie à Deux. F1 is about as classic a sports drama as you can get, just with outstanding execution. The combination of unpretentious script, charismatic cast, fantastic racing sequences, and Kosinski’s sharp storytelling instincts ensure that the movie always stays, well… on track.
If all the pieces work well, it doesn’t matter if you have no previous investment in Formula One (I didn’t!). F1 is incredibly engaging entertainment either way. In many ways it’s reminiscent of another Pitt film: 2011’s Moneyball, which turned work meetings about baseball statistics into riveting drama by sheer force of will and strong nuts and bolts craft. F1 conveys what newbies need to know about the sport without derailing the story at hand, and that’s a rarer feat than you’d think in today’s cinematic landscape.
F1 Ending Explained
If you guessed that F1 ends with a high stakes Formula One race, then give yourself a gold star. After being recruited to flailing F1 team APX GP by owner and old friend Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), Sonny Hayes finds that the team is a disaster behind the scenes. With only half a season, or nine races, to turn things around, Sonny butts heads with APX’s young superstar Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris) and team technical director Kate McKenna (Kerry Condon). After many ups and downs, including Sonny convincing Kate to change her car design to facilitate a more aggressive racing style and a near-fatal crash on Joshua’s part, all roads lead to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the final race and the team’s last chance for glory. No points for guessing that the team wins the race.
F1 is about as straightforward as big movies get nowadays, but that winds up being a significant asset. With so many of today’s blockbusters feeling half-formed or somehow embarrassed by their genre expectations, F1 sticking to convention proves that making these kinds of movies doesn’t have to be so complicated. Everything the movie needs to make the final race a cathartic moment for the audience is perfectly established: the high stakes for everyone involved, Sonny’s desire to recapture the feeling of “flying” that he describes to Kate after they start a romantic relationship, Joshua accepting that his ego is more at fault for his failures than his teammates, the audience wanting to see APX board member Peter Banning (Tobias Menzies) put in his place after sabotaging the team for personal gain, and some truly exceptional camerawork and editing.
Finding a new way to engage the audience within the boundaries of genre expectation will always be more satisfying than trying to be clever and flouting those expectations.
That’s not to say that movies shouldn’t try to put their own spins on formulas or throw in twists on tired premises. Of course they should. But finding a new way to effectively engage the audience within the boundaries of genre expectation will always be more satisfying than trying to be clever and flouting those expectations with wild abandon. Understanding that principle has been Kosinski’s greatest strength across his career, from 2010’s cult favorite Tron: Legacy, to the underrated 2013 original sci-fi entry Oblivion, to the billion dollar success of 2022’s Top Gun: Maverick. His next best strength is getting out of his own way and making his name on reliable craft over flashy sensibilities. Not that we don’t love our idiosyncratic auteurs like M. Night Shyamalan or Guillermo del Toro, but solid journeyman work is just as respectable and difficult to actually pull off.
We’ll see how audiences take to Kosinski’s latest, but as we head into a summer movie season set to be dominated by dinosaurs and superheroes, F1 stands as one of the year’s best surprises so far. Hollywood’s struggles with production mismanagement, VFX quality control, and fatally flawed franchise attempts are well-documented, but movies like F1 show that you can still deliver quality entertainment within the system. You simply need a director who knows what their movie is and what it’s not, and takes that mindset all the way to the finish line.

What is Grow a Garden in Roblox?
Grow a Garden is a new Roblox experience that's become incredibly popular since it launched. The gardening simulator allows players to show off their green fingers, as you buy seeds and plant a variety of crops from basic carrots to exotic dragon fruit trees.
As fruit and vegetables finally sprout, you'll be able to harvest them to sell for Sheckles. To go from a beginner gardener to a pro worthy of awards, you'll want your crops to experience mutations that increase their value. This can happen randomly, with Gold and Big mutations being down to chance, while weather events like snow can increase your luck of a Frozen mutation. There's also gear, and even pets now, that can affect how fast your crops grow, their value, and more.
When is the Mega Harvest Update in Grow a Garden?
Grow a Garden hosts new events each weekend, where players can come together and try out the fresh content for the ever-expanding game. The next update is planned for Saturday June 28, 2025 and is being called the Mega Harvest. While we don't know much yet besides the fact that the Summer Harvest event is being extended, we can guess that there will be new seeds, new pets, even more craftable items to come.
