Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale officially kicks off next week, but there are some early device deals you can check out already. Most notably, Amazon is offering discounts on the latest Kindle models for kids. For a limited time you can get up to $90 off the newest devices. These discounts aren't as good as what we saw during Prime Day earlier this year, but if you're looking to pick up a solid reading tablet for your kid (or yourself), it's certainly better than paying full price. The overall biggest price cut available now is on the Colorsoft, Amazon's full-color e-ink tablet.

Phantom Blade Zero review
I wasn't around to witness the golden age of Martial Arts cinema, but there are moments in Phantom Blade Zero that make me feel as though I've tumbled through a crack in time onto the set of a kung fu film. There's one particular encounter that sticks in my mind. Approaching a group of enemies in a shaded valley, I slowly raise my sword, and the first enemy rushes at me. Fool. I perfectly parry the blow, performing a slow-motion somersault to land behind him and plant my sword firmly in his back. The next guy comes running in, and I kick him in the face while simultaneously stabbing the previous enemy in the throat.
