Few shows have been as impactful as Game of Thrones, the HBO series based on George R.R. Martin’s fantasy epic “A Song of Ice and Fire.” It’s a narratively and visually captivating journey through the intricate power struggles of the ancient kingdom of Westeros, with a storyline that revolves around four prominent family Houses. The Starks, Lannisters, Baratheons and Targaryens all vying for control of the coveted Iron Throne, navigating a terrain of political intrigue, bloodletting, incest and betrayal. And even if you’ve already seen it when it aired on HBO, the 4K boxed set that’s out there is absolutely fantastic and makes for a great gift idea this holiday season because of its audiovisual upgrades and plentiful extras.

Arizona Sunshine 2 review (Quest)
The original Arizona Sunshine is one of our favorite PSVR titles. Sure, it had some rough edges at launch, but after a few patches and the inclusion of Aim controller support, it was a real blast. For that reason, we were really looking forward to Arizona Sunshine 2, the long-anticipated sequel that promised another immersive experience packed with gore-rich zombie action. Narrated by a dark-humored protagonist, the game introduces players to a post-apocalyptic world where every bullet counts, and survival becomes thrillingly realistic with a range of new and fan-favorite weapons, from shotguns to flamethrowers – we tested it on a Meta Quest headset.
