Oldfangled is newfangled again and that goes double for this inevitable feat of hardware hackery. That’s right, it’s Doom. Of course it’s Doom. More specifically, it’s Doom running on one of Nintendo’s old-but-new Game & Watch handheld toys that was created to run Super Mario Bros. Throw Mario in the bin though because after rip and tearing into this retro-styled device someone has taken it on a tour of hell instead.
In the PC gaming spirit of trying to run software on the daftest hardware you can put together, I present to you: a DOS boot disk that’s actually a vinyl record. With a record player hooked up to a PC and data encoded as a soundwave inscribed on custom-made 10″ vinyl, software developer Jozef Bogin has made a hip and wildly impractical storage medium to run DOS off. Why? Because he could, I guess. But now I need to know: can it run Doom?
2020 is finally upon us, and man alive there’s a veritable truck ton of PC gaming deals going on right now. Luckily, we’re here to help. Below, you’ll find our curated list of all the very best Black Friday PC gaming deals going on right now, from graphics cards, monitors and SSDs right through to mice, keyboards, RAM and headsets. Whatever you’ve got your eye on, you’ll find all of our top Black Friday deals picks right here.
There will be even more new deals to come later in the week, too, but you can rest assured that I’ll be updating this article at least once a day to help you make the most of all the latest discounts. Without further ado, here are the best early Black Friday PC gaming deals you can get right now.
[cms-block] is well and truly underway this week, but if you’re looking to pick up a new gaming mouse or gaming keyboard then there’s little need to wait until the big day itself on November 27th when there are already loads of great Black Friday mice and keyboard deals on right now. Already we’ve seen some stonking deals on RPS reader favourite, the Logitech G502 Hero, as well as its cheaper G203 Lightsync sibling, now down to a ridiculous £18 / $15. There are also some great deals to be had on our favourite gaming keyboard, the Roccat Vulcan, over in the US, too, which is down $50 off its usual price.
So if you’re looking for the Black Friday mouse and keyboard deals, you’re in the right place, as we’ve gathered them all up right here below.
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.
