[cms-block], Black Smi-day, who needs to wait until November 27th when you’ve already got deals like Samsung’s 500GB 860 Evo already going on in the US for their lowest ever prices right now? As part of Amazon’s new ‘epic’ daily deals promotion, the 500GB model of our best SATA SSD recommendation can now be had for just $54, making it a much better buy than its $50 250GB sibling. Hurry, though, as this deal is today only and will be gone at midnight.

A photo of Crucial's Ballistix RGB RAM.

The early [cms-block] deals continue this week, and one of today’s highlights is this 16GB Crucial Ballistix RAM kit clocked at a nippy 3000MHz for £65 over on Amazon UK. This is the cheapest this set has ever been, according to my Amazon price tracker, as it’s cost £78 or more for most of 2020. If you’ve ever wanted some rainbow RAM on the cheap, this is definitely worth considering.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines - contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Alice O'Connor)

A stabby vampire gives another two their final death in art for the yet-unnamed Vampire: The Masquerade battle royale game.

While Bloodlines 2 is the big Vampire: The Masquerade game folks are waiting for, it’s far from the only game in the tabletop RPG setting, with the newest and weirdest being… a battle royale? Huh. Sharkmob, a Swedish studio founded by former The Division devs, this weekened announced a yet-unnamed battle royale that’ll see vampires scrapping through the streets and over the rooftops of prague. Huh. A surprising use of the license. It’s due next year, and all they have to show for now is a cinematic trailer.

Eivor from Assassin's Creed Valhalla looking pretty determined and like she's about to kill some nasty Englishmen

Sure, you could drop a few hundo on one of those spang new consoles to play all the games coming out in November, but why would you? Every exclusive’s been delayed and all the best November releases are coming to PC anyway.

What’s that? You don’t know what video games are coming out during the penultimate month of this hell year? Well, let me tell you!

Fortnite: Battle Royale characters stand over a treasure chest.

The default Fortnite dance is terrible. You move out of time with the music, the music itself is boring, and it wasn’t even stolen from a pop-cultural icon (although to be fair it has become one in itself). No one thinks you’re cool doing the default Fortnite dance.

Scream-shot Saturday Sundays? Not on your unlife, pal, it’s November. Halloween’s over. I have no contractual obligation to be “spooky” today, so let’s fearlessly dive back into the well of Twitter’s favourite gamedev hashtag. This week: A frog chorus, a living painting, an ominous orb, and a begrudging admission that yes, it’s the scary weekend, fine.

Much as Riot might like to think otherwise, a MOBA just ain’t the best place to show off your sprawling lore. It’s just hard to care about my wizard’s tragic past when I’m trying to hold mid. That’s where Ruined King: A League Of Legends Story comes in, a singleplayer turn-based RPG that’ll let you linger and explore Runeterra’s fantasy scenarios outside the brutal confines of a 90-minute multiplayer murderfest when it arrives next year.

Remember Lone Survivor? It’s hard to believe Jasper Byrne’s harrowing side-scrolling adventure game is almost a decade old at this point, but such is the equally terrifying march of time. Today, the developer and composer announced Super Lone Survivor, a remake that’s bringing the 2011 game up to date with a new engine and a brand new chapter later next year.

Disc Room - contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Natalie Clayton)

Okay, so nobody was accusing Disc Room of being short on blades. But as Devolver Digital have proven, there are so, so many ways to be sliced and diced by a room of spinning saws. Wrapping up today, the official Disc Room Game Jam over on Itch has summoned dozens of razor-sharp new takes on the game, from paint-splattered puzzles and household chores to an unexpected mash-up with one of the year’s biggest games.
