Month: January 2018

The first week of January doesn’t just usher in a new year. It also means a slew of new movies and TV shows are arriving on Netflix. If you’re looking for a post-holiday binge to help ease the pain of returning to the normal world, the streaming service has you covered.

Perhaps the best new additions are the arrival of the Batman films. Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman & Robin, and Batman Begins are all available for streaming as of January 1. The Lethal Weapon and Bring It On franchises have also joined Netflix’s vast library of movies.

Among the other film titles being added this week are Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Caddyshack, King Kong, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, 30 Days of Night, and National Treasure. On the TV front, new seasons of Eastsiders, Lovesick, and Episodes have come to Netflix.

It’s the first week of the new year, and we’ve now gotten the first Destiny 2 weekly reset of 2018. This brings with it a new Nightfall Strike for players to try their hand at, along with a new Flashpoint on Io and a lineup of Eververse items to consider purchasing before The Dawning ends. Here’s what to expect from this week’s Nightfall, A Garden World, on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

In terms of Modifiers, we again see the return of Torrent. While fans of variety may be disappointed, this is a particularly fun one, as it causes your abilities to recharge much faster than usual. Additionally, Timewarp: Zero Hour is active, which means you’re unable to extend the Strike’s time limit. You’ll need to be fast and efficient to make it to the end.

That’s especially true if you’re hoping to finish the first of this week’s Challenges. Speed of Dark is enabled, as always, and requires you to finish the Strike with at least five minutes left on the timer. Unbroken tasks you with making it through with fewer than three deaths. And the Shielded Minotaur Challenge asks you to take out the titular shielded minotaurs in less than 90 seconds during that encounter.

As with any week, completing the Nightfall rewards you with Powerful Gear. The Nightfall is one of the only ways to obtain that level of gear, which is a reliable way to boost your Power level. This Nightfall will be available until the next weekly reset, which occurs at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM GMT on Tuesday, January 9 (4 AM AET on January 10).

The Nightfall is available now, but you’ll be unable to try it–or anything else–for a period of time on Wednesday, January 3. Bungie has announced Destiny 2 maintenance and a new update will be deployed on that day, which will result in downtime for several hours. Meanwhile, The Dawning event continues and will come to an end on the same day as this Nightfall, January 9.

We’re in the last week of Sony’s big holiday sale, and the PS Store is also releasing its first set of new weekly PSN deals for PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and PlayStation 3. Most of the sales start today and go until the middle of the month (you should check each specific offer to be sure of its end date).

There are deals on a duo of expanded editions for PS4 players: the Diablo III Eternal Collection is half off, available now for $30, and the deluxe edition of Tekken 7 is $46.74. Dark Souls III, also for PS4, is a good deal at $21, Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance is $16, Dragon Ball Xenoverse is $10, and you can pick up Firewatch for just $8. If you have a PSVR, Batman: Arkham VR is on sale for $12.

There are also a bunch of Resident Evil games on sale for PS4. Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 5, Resident Evil 6, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, and Resident Evil 0 are all on special right now. Meanwhile, Odin Sphere Leifthrasir is on sale for all systems: you can get it for $24 on PS4, $16 on Vita, and $20 on PS3.

PS3 players can also pick up the Digital Pro Edition of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare for $36, with the Gold Edition being available for just $20. There are other Call of Duty deals, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 for $35 and the Gold Edition of Call of Duty: Ghosts for $20. Meanwhile for PS Vita, you can get Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified for $13.59. You can find the full list of deals available now on the PlayStation Store.

Join us as we ring in 2018 with the last week of Destiny 2’s Dawning Event as well as the Garden World Nightfall with torrent and timewarp: zero hour.
