‘Never Leave’, amiright?
In the magazine business, the Back Page is where you’d find all the weird goofs that we couldn’t fit in anywhere else. Some may call it “filler”; we prefer “a whole page to make terrible jokes that are tangentially related to the content of the mag”.
We don’t have pages on the internet, but we still love terrible jokes — so welcome to our semi-regular feature, Back Page. Today, Ollie whips down to the travel agents in search of a well-earned break…

I like close combat tactics, directing troop actions on a timeline, and breaching and clearing, but a recent revisit to Door Kickers revealed I no longer had the patience for its fiddly UI and grim scenarios.
No Plan B looks intriguing, then, for featuring all of the things mentioned above that I like, an unknown quantity of the things I don’t, and for having released on Steam this week.
Saturday and the weekend have officially arrived, which means it is time to round up the best deals you can find this weekend! We’ve searched all over the internet to compile the deals you do not want to miss, which include video games, technology, earbuds, and more. The best deals for Saturday, April 6, include Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, the Razer BlackShark V2 Headset, Granblue Fantasy: Relink, Beats Powerbeats Pro, and more.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a release that went under many people’s radars earlier this year. At $29.99, this 2D platformer is absolutely worth your time and money. We gave the game an 8/10 in our review, stating, “Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown captures not only what made games such as The Sands of Time so good, but it irons out a lot of the little issues that plagued the 3D games.”
The BlackShark V2 headset has an impressive set of features that should fit all of your needs. First, there is a noise cancellation factor with the earcups built inside the headset. Outside noise is always a problem with most gaming headsets, but the BlackShark V2 Pro limits noise from leaking into your gameplay experience. Audio-wise, the BlackShark V2 Pro has 50mm sound drivers that contain titanium-coated diaphragms. Each driver is divided into three separate parts to create the best-quality lows, mids, and highs. You’re getting excellent sound quality both in and out of games.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink marks the first console RPG from Cygames. Characters from the beloved mobile RPG make in appearance in a brand-new story with many thrills and environments to discover. The big focus of Relink is the multiplayer features, which allow you to tackle over 100 quests with friends around the world. With many post-launch characters and updates planned, you can expect hundreds of hours of fun with a title like this.
The Beats Powerbeats Pro are an excellent choice if you’re looking for an Apple AirPods alternative. You can get up to nine hours of listening time off a single charge, with over 24 hours available if you use the included charging case. These earbuds are powered by the H1 chip, which allows for easy pairing and instant connectivity when using an iPhone. Overall, it’s hard to beat the value these earbuds provide at just $130.
The HyperX Alloy Elite 2 is an excellent choice if you’re in the market for a new gaming keyboard. HyperX Pudding Keycaps are included, which are translucent ABS to allow more light to be seen through them. Additionally, dedicated media controls and a volume wheel are included. This keyboard is normally priced at $129.99, so you’re saving almost 50% with this deal from Amazon.
NHL 24 brought all-new gameplay and dozens of new features to the hit EA Sports series. This is the lowest price we’ve seen NHL 24 at so far, so if you’ve been on the fence, be sure to pick up the game while this sale is live. There are a total of over 75 new goal celebrations in NHL 24, which elevates the presentation and immersion to new heights.
Woot currently has both the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 versions of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 on sale for 50% off. This collection includes the first three Metal Gear Solid titles, in addition to Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. If you’ve yet to play through these incredible action titles, the Master Collection is the best (and only) way to do so on modern gaming platforms.
