I've been combing through the current crop of deals on PS5 games and accessories, and I've found several worthwhile discounts you can pick up right now. These include Assassin's Creed: Shadows for 29% off and the Sony Inzone H9 Headset for $198 or $100 off its normal price.

Sonic X Shadow Generations combines a remaster of 2011's Sonic Generations, a love letter to the Blue Blur that remains a fan-favorite to this day, with a new Shadow-focused campaign. It's a strong package, and it was perfectly timed to coincide with the latest Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie. Star Wars Outlaws represents a new frontier for a Galaxy far, far away as it's the first-ever open-world game set in the iconic sci-fi universe. You play a Han Solo-type named Kay Vess, as you explore various planets and navigate criminal syndicates and the sinister Galactic Empire.

We're in a golden age of horror remakes, and Silent Hill 2 is among the very best.

For the current generation, Sony had Bluepoint develop this faithful, beautiful remaster, which improves on the original title and updates it with amazing graphics, new weapons, and items. Set in 19th-century Japan during the Boshin War, Rise of the Rōnin comes from developer Team Ninja and blends a sizeable open world, a choice-driven narrative, and engaging combat.

The sequel to one of the most acclaimed PlayStation games of all time, God of War Ragnarök sees father and son duo Kratos and Atreus embark on another epic journey as they travel across all Nine Realms of Norse mythology. Enjoy visceral combat against a multitude of foes, as well as rewarding exploration and a highly cinematic story that culminates in a stunning finale that you won't soon forget. The 14th major installment in the AC franchise, Assassin's Creed: Shadows, is set in 16th-century Japan during the late Sengoku period. Players experience the enduring conflict between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Templar Order through two protagonists: Naoe, a skilled female shinobi, and Yasuke, an African samurai inspired by a real-life historical figure. A sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn, Horizon Forbidden West takes everything great about its predecessor and expands upon it.

The highly anticipated sequel to PS4's exclusive Spider-Man game, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, lived up to the hype. It sees Peter Parker and Miles Morales team up to take down a whole new set of fearsome foes, including Kraven the Hunter and Venom. Master new powers, and explore new areas of NYC in the biggest superhero game Insomniac has made to date. Spider-Man 2 is a stunning showcase of the PS5. If you're spending hours gaming on the PS5 Pro, then you'll need to ensure your controllers are always charged and ready for action. The PowerA Twin charging station can charge two DualSense controllers at once and looks good doing it. This officially licensed peripheral also comes with a 2-year warranty. If you only have one controller to charge and want to do so in style, the Razer Quick Charging Stand could be a great fit for your PS5. What's great about this charging stand is that it can top off your DualSense in under 3 hours. It also features overcharge protection to prevent overheating and short-circuiting. Another neat trick is that it's designed in such a way that you can still navigate your PS5's menus while your controller is charging. The WD_Black SN850X SSD hits all of Sony's specifications and fits perfectly into the PS5's internal expansion slot, and it's even been named an officially licensed PS5 accessory. This 1TB model includes a heatsink and works right out of the box. It's dropped below $100 in the past, so this isn't the lowest ever price, but this Amazon deal is still a bargain price for an essential PS5 accessory. The Sony Inzone H5 is one of the best headsets we've ever tested for the PS5 and gaming PCs. Lightweight and comfortable for long sessions, the H5 can last for up to 28 hours on a full charge. It also boasts 40mm drivers to provide detailed sound and supports 3D audio for immersive gaming. This officially licensed Sony controller is a must-have accessory for PlayStation fans. The Nacon Revolution 5 Pro is infinitely customizable, featuring remappable shortcuts, a swappable D-Pad, interchangeable controller weights, customizable thumbstick sizes and heads, and more. Plus, with the controller's Hall effect magnetic sensors, you can say bye to stick drift. The Sony Inzone Buds offer the lowest possible latency audio and offer extended battery life, with up to 12 hours of continuous use. The buds also offer 360-degree spatial audio and AI-based audio reduction to help tune out any distracting sounds around you. The Sony Inzone H9 are styled similarly to its namesake's home console, so it's a perfect choice if you're also a PS5 gamer. In our Sony Inzone H9 review, we found the Editor's Choice headphones were comfortable to wear, but we disliked their finicky companion desktop PC app. The SN850P PS5 SSD is part of the reliable WD_Black range and is the perfect pick if you want to add significantly more storage to your console with a roomy 2TB capacity, enough to store dozens of games. This model comes with a pre-installed heatsink and can be slotted straight into your PS5 console out of the box.

Barber program at Oakland high school teaches students career skills
Castlemont High School just wrapped up its final class of the Barber Entrepreneur Program this semester, and students are excited to see where this new chapter of skillsets will take them. "Another way to express art, by cutting hair," Danny Pablo, a senior at Castlemont High School, told CBS News Bay Area. It all began when Pablo was curious about what life would be like as a barber. When he found out his school offered a free after-school class on barbering and how to start a business, he quickly signed up. He shared that he practices cutting his friends' hair on the weekends, and in class, he had the opportunity to cut real hair, not just on a mannequin. Seven instructors, who are licensed barbers, teach students twice a week on the do's and don'ts of cutting and styling hair. Instructors from the Paul Mitchell Barber School in the East Bay are also a part of the program. "My background is really about doing things positively in the community. And Castlemont is kind of important because it's like my neighborhood," Frank West, the program coordinator, said. He founded the program three years ago and wanted to find ways to give back to his hometown. "I'm really proud of the people that work and support me, and I'm very happy that I'm working in my district with some kind of capacity," he said. "My hope is that people like Danny are going to come back to the school and then reproduce what I did, be able to give back," West added. He hopes to expand to other school districts outside of Oakland to help students find their passion. "As a teacher, you always to see their light bulb go off. And you see a lot of the kids come here and it's a wonderful thing," he said.

Lee County investigating double homicide in Shannon
TUPELO – A Lee County man has been jailed on a $10 million bond after being accused of killing a Shannon area couple Friday. Lee County deputy sheriffs responded to a 911 call regarding a possible incident at a residence on County Road 295 in the Shannon area around 3:30 p.m. on Friday May 23. After contacting the property owner and the resident of the address, deputies conducted a search and discovered the bodies of two individuals. The resident was taken into custody without incident. The Lee County Coroner Carolyn Green identified the victims as Frank West, 43, and Cambre Dean, 39, both of the Shannon area. They both died of gunshot wounds. Their bodies will be transported to Pearl for autopsy at the State Medical Examiner's Office. The deaths are being treated as a double homicide. Jonathan A. Kelly, 39, of Shannon, was interviewed as a person of interest in the suspected homicides. Based on the evidence gathered and the outcome of the interview, Kelly has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder. During his initial appearance in Lee County Justice Court, a judge set Kelly's bond at $10,000,000. He remains incarcerated in the Lee County Adult Jail. Lee Country Sheriff Jim Johnson said the assistance of the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks was key in locating crucial evidence that has been instrumental to this case.
