She’s marvelous! She’s magnificent! She’s… a teenager from New Jersey? Don’t let Kamala Khan’s humble beginnings fool you—she’s one of the newest heroes in the Marvel Comics universe and also one of its most compelling.

This is an advance review out of the Toronto International Film Festival. Motherless Brooklyn opens in the US on Nov. 1 and in the UK on Nov. 30.

Nearly 20 years after making his directorial debut with the romantic comedy Keeping the Faith, Edward Norton has journeyed back behind the camera for an altogether more serious affair. Motherless Brooklyn is a detective story based on the 1999 novel of the same name by Jonathan Lethem. But where the book had a contemporary setting, Norton – who also adapts and stars – has transported the plot back to 1950s New York to make a period piece about power, corruption, and the dark side of gentrification, packaged in a convoluted murder-mystery.

The PlayStation Store’s “Big in Japan” sale with 500+ deals launched last week, but there’s another PS4 sale worth checking out before the month is over: PSN’s September Savings event. With over 300 discounts on PS4 games, bundles, and DLC, the September Savings sale includes some great games at ridiculously low prices. The following deals are available now until October 1 at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET.

If you’ve missed out on Persona 5 over the past few years, now’s your best chance to see what all the hype is about, as the acclaimed JRPG is on sale for just $12 USD. Considering the game has well over 100 hours worth of content, it’s an absolute steal at this price. Also on sale is Spyro Reignited Trilogy, an HD remaster of the original three Spyro games–you can grab it for $24 this month. Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition is just $4.49 and comes with all previously released DLC. You can also get the fantastic multiplayer cooking strategy game, Overcooked, for only $5.09.

If you buy a single game from this sale, I’d recommend A Plague Tale: Innocence, which released in May. It’s on sale for $30, down from $50. That’s an excellent deal on what might be one of the most underrated releases of 2019. The stealth action-adventure game follows a young woman named Amicia and her little brother Hugo as they make their way through plague-infested 14th-century France, dodging ravenous rats and avoiding Inquisition soldiers who are out to kill them for mysterious reasons.

Check out more of our picks from the September Savings sale below, and be sure to catch up on the best deals in PSN’s Big in Japan sale, too.

One week ends, a new one begins, and the proverbial clock of life ticks on, slowly inching toward our inevitable demise. But hey, at least we have video games. The Xbox One’s digital marketplace has a selection of great deals on some of Rockstar Games’ and Square Enix’s best. There’s also a DLC sale that includes season passes for The Witcher 3 and more. You can see all of the prices in the lists at the bottom of this page.

The Rockstar sale includes three of its best games: Red Dead Redemption 2, Grand Theft Auto V, and LA Noire. There are also a number of discounts on its backward-compatible Xbox 360 games, including Red Dead Redemption, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Bully: Scholarship Edition. Square Enix, on the other hand, has deals on Kingdom Hearts III and a number of its other franchises. Just Cause 3 and Just Cause 4 are on sale, as is the entire Tomb Raider trilogy. And of course, there are a bunch of discounts on various games in the Final Fantasy series.

The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone and The Witcher 3: Blood And Wine are also on sale–they can be purchased separately or together in the expansion pass. Discounted DLC for The Sims 4, Titanfall 2, and the Battlefield series is also available. You can check out all of the deals on Xbox.com or a selection of the best deals below.

My personal favourites from this sale include Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, and Murdered: Soul Suspect. I also highly recommend The Witcher 3’s expansions and Bully: Scholarship Edition–possibly my favourite title from Rockstar Games.
