As they do, a group of developers with past experience at bigtime studios BioWare and Ubisoft have shrugged off the corporate chains and gotten together to create a new game studio. Mike Laidlaw, Jeff Skalski, Frédéric St-Laurent B., and Thomas Giroux have teamed up to create Yellow Brick Games, a new studio in Quebec City.
Mmm, delicious leaks, with which we may make leak and potato soup. Physical copies of Cyberpunk 2077 have made it to retailers, which means leaks are now inevitable as disgruntled low-wage employees chance their arm and liberate copies from Bezos’s loving grasp. Once such maverick even streamed 20 minutes of it on their PS4. Now, I know that, perversely, the title of this post will just make some of you want to watch it, like a teenager being told they shouldn’t date the 21 year old that hangs around outside the OneStop, but I have watched it, and it is honestly a waste of 20 minutes. If you watch it, you will regret the use of that time.
Not because the game is rubbish, I hasten to add. It might be rubbish, it might be brilliant. I don’t work in an Amazon warehouse so I haven’t played it yet. No: it is just a bad stream that shows very little of the game. Seriously, a laughably small amount. And they talk over all the dialogue.
[cms-block] is finally here, and with it some hopefully decent graphics card deals. While you won’t find any of Nvidia or AMD’s new GPUs such as the RTX 3080 or RX 6800 XT on sale here (if only because they’re out of stock almost everywhere right now), it should still be a good time to get one of last year’s graphics cards on the cheap. Right now, we haven’t seen any outrageously good Black Friday graphics card deals pop up yet, so instead we’ve put together this list of all the cheapest prices we can find right now. We’ll be updating this article regularly throughout the week as and when new Black Friday deals arrive, so be sure to pop this page in your bookmarks to help stay ahead of the deals curve.
The PlayStation 5 landed in the UK last week (and in the US the week before), bringing with it the shiny new DualSense controller. Steam was quick to implement initial support for it, too. Now, over the weekend, Valve have improved that support, meaning your Steam games will be able to use the DualSense’s fancy LED, trackpad, rumble and gyro features.
[cms-block] week is here, so it’s high time for some exquisite RAM deals, don’t you think? Below we’ve put together a list of all the best Black Friday RAM deals from around the web in the UK and the US, covering all sorts of sizes and speeds so you can find the best possible RAM deal for your PC. Regardless of whether you’re simply adding more RAM to your existing system or buying a whole new set, every RAM deal you’ll find below has the RPS seal of approval.
If you can believe it, [cms-block] is almost upon us, and the deals are already hovering around just waiting for a chance to strike. Humble Bundle have launched a good’un today, offering a year’s subscription to their monthly gaming service for 45% off – a whole 5% more than what they offered back in summer. So, you can grab a year’s worth of Humble Choice Premium right now for just £82 / $99 a year, down from £143 / $180 a year.
[cms-block] week has arrived, and there are now more SSD deals to pick from than ever before. While Amazon have most of the best buys and several new record low prices for our favourite Samsung, Crucial and WD SSDs, several other retailers have now begun their Black Friday SSD deals in earnest, creating some much needed competition in both the UK and US in the run-up to the big day. To help you cut through the noise, we’ve gathered together all the best Black Friday SSD deals you can grab right now to avoid the rush, including many of our best SSD for gaming picks at never-before-seen prices.
The Xbox Series X may have only just come out, but Best Buy have already shaved $20 off its new controller for [cms-block], bringing prices for Microsoft’s new game pad down to just $40. That’s great news for PC folk in the US, as it means you can now grab a new Series X controller to use with your PC for much less than its usual $60 asking price.
Almost all of Razer’s current gaming mice line-up are present and correct in Amazon UK’s [cms-block] week sale today, with some – like the Razer Basilisk V2 and Razer Naga Trinity – dropping to half price or less, beating their previous Prime Day prices by quite some margin. If you’ve been thinking about getting a replacement mouse lately, here’s our pick of the bunch.
If you’ve heard of Chasm: The Rift, I salute you. If you haven’t, I don’t blame you. Released way back in 1997, it’s a first person shooter which was meant to compete with Quake. Quite a tough ask, to be honest. But it does have one thing over id Software’s classic – jester monsters.
Specifically, lizard people, who are also jesters, but have saw blades for hands. These once entertaining folks are actually part of an alien faction called the Timestrikers who are attempting to overtake Earth. It is up to us – a burly, pixelated marine – to deal with the threat through the only way we know how. Guns, baby.
