Wolfenstein: The Alternative History Collection – PlayStation 4
$24.97
In another reality, Germany won World War II, and it’s up to you to take on their new empire and zombie experiments. Derived from the classic first-person shooter that predated even Doom, the newer games amp up the graphics, gameplay and stakes. This collection includes Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (disc), Wolfenstein: The New Order (disc), and one code for Wolfenstein: The Old Blood and Wolfenstein 2: Youngblood.
McFarlane Toys Cyberpunk 2077 Takemura 7″ Action Figure
$13.52
Okay, so the game had its issues. But the appearance of this cybernetically enhanced badass wasn’t one of them. Now selling for almost half-price, the McFarlane Toys action figure can add some excitement to the collection. The super-posable figure includes a display stand and his gun.
HALO Energy Sword
$15.00
You can’t battle the Covenant in real life, but you can certainly look the part. Enhance any Halo-related costume this upcoming Halloween season with a cool energy sword replica. While not an official 1:1 prop replica, which would cost hundreds, this ultra-reasonably priced accessory still looks great in-hand. No alien’s gonna be the arbiter of you when you wield it!

Go back to the ’90s (in spirit) with this side-scrolling, co-op beat-’em-up featuring the heroes in a half shell, along with more playable characters like Splinter and April.
