Samsung's CRG9 is one of our favourite ultrawide monitors, thanks to a super-bright DisplayHDR 1000 rating and a 49 inch span that's the same as two 27-in 1440p monitors side-by-side. It's also got a 120Hz refresh rate and is FreeSync and G-Sync Compatible, making it a great choice for a wide range of games.

The monitor debuted at more than £1000, and today it's gone £80 cheaper than we've ever seen it before - just £721. For the specs on offer, this is an excellent value - so why not read on?

The Cooler Master NR200 is, in my opinion, the best value small form factor PC case on the market right now. The fancy NR200P version, with an extra glass side panel, retails for £100, but the cheaper NR200 is normally £80 - and today, it's down to £60 at Amazon.

This is a great price for an incredibly well designed ITX case, which boasts great airflow, a simple install procedure and support for a wide range of components, including long and wide triple-slot graphics cards - all in a frame that measures 360 x 185 x 274mm, barely bigger than a shoebox.

The Back 4 Blood open beta has finally arrived and with it the unique new card system. Cards are one of the biggest elements that set Back 4 Blood apart from its spiritual predecessor, Left 4 Dead. However, the beta provides a pretty limited explanation of how cards and Supply Lines work.

Retro RPG Eastward has been on my most anticipated games list for actual years. When I first saw it at EGX back in 2019, I quickly fell in love with its characterful pixel art and nifty pair of protagonists - miner and frying pan extraordinaire John and his mysterious ward Sam - and couldn't wait to see what post-apocalyptic wonders lay beyond the mutated forests and run-down hub town I saw in that first demo. This week, I got to see a glimpse of its Quake City dungeon, a toxic wasteland you'll be picking through around ten hours into the game. With carnivorous plants, pesky crows and lots of poison-spewing hogs to contend with, Eastward has a surprising amount of bite hidden beneath its charming visuals, and I'm now more excited than ever to play it in full when it comes out next month.

Daniel Klein, the now-former lead game designer on Apex Legends, has been let go from Respawn Entertainment, due to sexist and racist remarks he made in 2007. A video and screenshots of his old DeviantArt blog posts began circulating online last month, referring to women as having "moron chromosomes" and comparing African people to animals. Klein has since apologised, though it seems his days working on Apex are over.

This week on the Electronic Wireless Show podcast you see us trudging back and forth over a field, grimly trying to locate the little bit of rock or feather that our map tells us is right here>, dammit. Yes, we're all about the best collectibles in games this week - which, it turns out, is a pretty short list, so we have some meaty discussion of whether they actually are good, and if so, how?

Digressions get off to a good start with Matthew's adoption of the Lego Stud as a name, which makes him sound like a hot LEGO minifig, leading us to wonder what it would be like if we were all just shadows conjoured by Nate's subconcious. Truly beastly. This week in inside baseball we discuss why the promo tat we used to get from PRs was not as good as you might imagine it was, and anyway now it's all YouTuber's getting free cars. Plus: a Cavern Of Lies giftshop disrupted by the Eds, dastardly foes of the show.
