The [cms-block] gaming laptop deals are finally starting to pour in this week, and there are some great discounts to be had if you’ve ever wanted to take your gaming on the go or simply want to play games in a different part of your house. To save you the trouble of trawling through every website on the planet, I’ve rounded up my top Black Friday gaming laptop deals below, including a truly bargain-tastic GTX 1650-powered HP Pavilion laptop for just $450 over at Best Buy, and an RTX 2060 Lenovo Legion 5 for a very tempting £950 over at Ebuyer in the UK. I’ll be updating this article as more Black Friday gaming laptop deals go live in the run-up to the big day, too, so make sure you stick it in your bookmarks to stay up to date.

Oh dear, is it that time already? Yes indeed, the Steam Autumn Sale has arrived, bringing the seasonal discounts on thousands of games. Awards season is upon as as well, so they’ve opened up nominations for the yearly Steam Awards. You can vote and reap the discounts from now until December 1st at 10am PST / 6pm GMT.

After over a decade of work (and nine months after actually releasing the game), the Black Mesa gang are finally just about finished remaking Half-Life. Today they launch a big update they’re calling the ‘Definitive Edition’, with changes including a visual refresh of many areas, performance improvements, extra polishing, and a redo of one level from the bit with all the trains. They… still have a few wee fixes to follow, but it seems they’re really, truly, mad, deeply almost done with it.

Last year, Metro Exodus proved that the series could crawl out of the subterranean tunnels of its past and successfully carve out a new home exploring above ground. What’s next in this brave new world, then? A lot, apparently. Developers 4A Games have published an update to mark the tenth year since the series began and to say that they’ve got a whole lot on their plates. They’re working on the next Metro series game, tinkering with concepts for multiplayer Metro, and staffing up for a totally new series.

Nvidia’s RTX 3070 vanished off the face of the planet almost as soon as it went on sale a couple of weeks ago, making it nigh-on impossible to get hold of for would-be upgraders. If you’re prepared to buy a whole new PC to get one, though, then this Black Friday deal from system builder PC Specialist may be the fastest route to getting yourself Nvidia’s new 4K monster card – and at £1299, it’s probably cheaper completely revamping an old PC, too.

Challenging combat game Unto The End has announced its release date with another look at crossing swords with local monster baddies. It looks quite tough, which 2 Ton Studios have emphasised by saying that fights can be won or lost in just a couple hits, so you’d better make them count. With that in mind, they’ve actually shared some ways that you can avoid fighting when it launches on December 9th.

It’s that time again where we spin 180 degrees away from Infinity Ward, turn to Treyarch, and see what type of Call Of Duty they’ll slide into our hands. I expected to say “Oh titanic megacorporation, thank you so much for the shooty bang bang”, while stifling a massive yawn, but honestly, I’m buzzed off Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s multiplayer offerings. It’s reawakened my post-dinner excitement to get online with The Boys™ that’s lain dormant since we burned ourselves out on Warzone. I just wonder how long this feeling will last.

There have been some great [cms-block] this week so far, but this new £700 off deal from Ebuyer on one of Razer’s Blade Pro 17 laptops arguably tops the lot of them, if only because the sheer number of extra goodies you get with it effectively turns it into a full-on desktop replacement. Indeed, not only are you getting a powerful Core i7 processor and RTX 2070 Max-Q graphics chip to power its fancy 300Hz display, but you also get a mouse, keyboard and headset with it. Heck, they’re even throwing in a Razer water bottle, too, presumably so you can continue salivating over how much money you saved long after it’s arrived in your home.

Oh yes, the [cms-block] just keep on coming today, and let’s just say this next one is a treat for folks in the US. Over on Amazon, you can currently bag yourself a brand-new 250GB Samsung 980 Pro for $80, a nice $10 off its usual price of $90. That may not seem like a huge discount, but it’s the first of its kind for this particular PCIe 4.0 drive, and for this reason alone I’d say it’s well worth considering.
