Dell’s 240Hz Alienware monitors have always been firm (if rather expensive) favourites here at RPS, but one of their US “door buster” [cms-block] deals has finally brought their excellent AW2518HF down to just $250 – that’s a saving of over 50% off its original price (not to mention $100 cheaper than what you’ll find on Amazon at the moment) and a great deal for those after a brilliant 240Hz G-Sync Compatible screen.

We tend to talk about games as very visual experiences because, for most, they are. But, for some, there are more important things than framerates and 4K resolutions – namely, actually being able to play games in the first place. I spoke to Sightless Kombat, an accessibility consultant and “gamer without sight”, who told me how far games still have to come before they’re fully accessible for players like him.

So, how on earth does someone with no sight play games? The answer is a lot less complicated than you might think.

[cms-block] has often been a great time pick up one of today’s best VR headsets for less than usual, but this year’s crop of Black Friday VR headset deals have been lacklustre, to say the least.

Outside of Teardown, most of us will never know the thrill of bombing industrial lots or driving a dump-truck into a billionaire’s mansion. But while I won’t be taking a sledgehammer to my office anytime soon, I can rest easy in the knowledge that I may soon be breaking it down on my desktop – with one programmer showing off a delightfully destructive montage of real-world wreckage inside Tuxedo Labs’ digital smashing yards.

The [cms-block] have been positively roasting so far this week, particularly when it comes to WD’s NVMe drives. First we saw huge discounts on their stonkingly good Blue SN550 drive, and now Amazon and Ebuyer have been doing battle over the 1TB Black SN750, dropping prices to £100 to beat its previous Prime Day deal of £120. As such, this is the cheapest this premium NVMe drive has ever been, and a much better buy than the £151 Samsung 970 Evo Plus.

Today we hit the yearly milestone of deciding it was finally cold enough to turn the heating on. You hold out as long as you can, obviously. Not made of money. Perhaps we could have lasted longer if we’d had very fashionable coats made out of the skin of a rare bat monster, such as you can hunt and kill in Monster Hunter: World.

Yes, from this thrilling segue you’ll now be aware that this week’s episode of The Electronic Wireless Show is all about fashion in games. We talk about Dark Souls, we talk about Hitman, we talk about Fable. All the hits! Since Nate is regrettably still bust, it was just me and Matthew again, but we fill the time by discussing peacocks. Plus! The second instalment in the ConeGate Conspiracy. Will Matthew be able to secure a parking space? Will the scaffolding go up okay? Catch up today, and stay tuned for a further update next week.

When CD Projekt Red announce a Cyberpunk 2077 release date, they plant a neon battle banner on the calendar and shouting “FIGHT ME, COWARDS” at other developers. Most, sensibly, decline to. The makers of MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries had planned to launch its first DLC on December 10th but, well, that’s the date Cyberpunk is now due. So rather than fight a colossal mech built of neon tubing, sheet glass, and garish merch, Piranha Games have decided to delay Heroes Of The Inner Sphere. It’s now due in spring 2021 – assuming Cyberpunk 2077 is not delayed again.

[cms-block] is finally here, and at long last we’ve finally got some proper Black Friday gaming monitor deals happening in the US.

Whether you’re after a G-Sync Compatible monitor, an ultrawide display, or a 144Hz or 240Hz gaming monitor deal, we’ve got you covered.

There’s been a great selection of [cms-block] in the UK this week, but none have been quite as tempting as LG’s UltraGear 27GL750 display, which is £100 off over at Currys PC World right now. Normally £439, this 1440p, 144Hz, G-Sync Compatible monitor is down to a record low of just £339 at the moment, making it my top Black Friday monitor recommendation of the week so far.

A new early access update is headed to Baldur’s Gate 3 soon, and be warned: it will break save file compatibility, requiring players to start a new save to play with the patch. You will be able to revert to the previous version of the game to continue an existing save, mind, just without any of the newness. Yeah it’s a hassle but it’s to be expected when playing an unfinished game in early access, really.
