2 years 5 months ago

I tell you what, if you waited until Black Friday to pick up FIFA 22, congratulations. You can now get FIFA 22 for just $26 on PS5 for Black Friday (see here), marking it as one of the absolute best deals of the shopping event.

That's $44 off the list price, and the game only came out a couple of months ago. If you've been waiting to pick up the game, this is absolutely your sign to pick it up now, considering this is a limited time deal as well. We're in love with this FIFA 22 Black Friday deal, and it's available right now, don't miss out on it.

Best FIFA 22 Black Friday Deal on PS5

FIFA 22 is down to just $26 on PS5. Xbox fans, your deal isn't as good, with the game at $35, but I have to say I had this listed down as a top deal when the PS5 copy was $35 as well. That's still 50% off the list price, so I've included the deal here as well.

I'd pick this up as soon as possible if I were you, this is such a good deal I can actually see it selling out before the end of Black Friday.

Unique Voice-Powered Puzzler, One Hand Clapping, Hums Its Way to Consoles & Mobile on Dec. 14

2 years 5 months ago

Ever wanted to show off your musical skills through the medium of video games? Well, it’s time to do just that in Bad Dream Games‘ artsy voice-powered puzzler, One Hand Clapping.

That’s right, today we finally received word of a release date for the much anticipated indie title on consoles and mobile. Yes, One Hand Clapping is now scheduled to launch on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android, and Stadia on Dec. 14.

To confirm the new release date, the Los Angeles-based studio dropped a short teaser to share the news. Go ahead and check it out below:

As you can see in the footage above, One Hand Clapping has won a multitude of awards leading up to its full-fledged release, many of which are thanks to the sheer creativity of the title.

You see, One Hand Clapping tasks players to solve platforming puzzles by “singing or humming” into their microphones. In other words, the pitch and intensity of your singing voice affects the height and gradient of the platform you’re walking on, and you’ll have to maneuverer your way through a variety of different environments.

Best PS5 and Xbox Gaming Monitor Black Friday Deals in the UK

2 years 5 months ago

Black Friday is finally here, at long last. You might've been waiting a while to upgrade your gaming monitor, so we've got you covered this savings season.

Below you'll find a selection of some of the very best deals we could find on 4K UHD, 1080p, and 1440p monitors that are absolutely perfect for all your PS5, Xbox, and PC needs. Happy shopping.

Top Deal: Top Up £50 Amazon Credit and Get £6 Free

Before you buy anything at Amazon, make sure you've taken advantage of this Black Friday offer. Top up your Amazon account by £50, and you'll get £6 in extra credit for free. This is a perfect way to save some extra cash in the sales.

Black Friday: Best Gaming Monitors for PS5 and Xbox

We've got a great range of monitors here for Black Friday. If you want 4K on your PS5, I'd suggest aiming for 4K 60Hz monitors. Not a lot of games support 120Hz, and if you're serious about playing Call of Duty or Halo Infinite at 120FPS, go for a 1080p-1440p monitor instead.

HDMI 2.1 4K 120HZ Monitors for PS5 and Xbox

There's a couple of deals here, but honestly, the reality right now for 4K 120Hz monitors, is the tech just isn't affordable yet. Similar to 4K TVs, you're going to have to pay at least £800, on a good day.

2 years 5 months ago

Building a desktop gaming PC is good fun, but with extremely high graphics card prices it's got a lot harder recently. Thankfully, prebuilt PCs are a great alternative, offering a complete system at a much more reasonable price. The best Black Friday deal we've found so far is on a £999 build by PC makers Stormforce, which includes an RTX 3060 Ti graphics card, Core i5 10400F CPU and strong Asus components throughout for £100 less than the usual price.

Here's why we think this PC is worth the money, component by component, and what sort of performance you should expect.

Babylon's Fall Contains Gear and Emotes 'Borrowed' From Final Fantasy 14

2 years 5 months ago

Babylon's Fall, the upcoming online fantasy RPG from Platinum Games and Square Enix contains a range of gear and emotes 'borrowed' from Final Fantasy 14.

During a recent closed beta for Babylon's Fall, a number of players noticed that the game's armour sported some similar looks to the Final Fantasy MMO. Following speculation, producer Yosuke Saito confirmed the connection in an update post, confirming that not only had Babylon's Fall borrowed a number of assets from FF14 but also that this came following an offer from Final Fantasy 14's director Naoki Yoshida.

"To get straight to the point: yes, Babylon's Fall contains gear and emote data borrowed from Final Fantasy 14," confirms Saito in the post. "When I gave my Babylon's Fall presentation at a company meeting, Final Fantasy 14 Producer & Director Naoki Yoshida was also in attendance and offered his help, to which I replied, “Yes, please!” This is how the plan came to fruition. We then carefully implemented the data while closely coordinating with the Final Fantasy XIV team."

Saito says that by borrowing data from FF14, the team has been able to add a far greater range of gear and emotes to Babylon's Fall than originally planned. That being said, the producer was also keen to point out that the majority of the gear sets that players will be able to obtain in-game are unique to Babylon's Fall itself.

Battlefield 2042: Portal Mode Has Already Been Used to Make a Battle Royale

2 years 5 months ago

Battlefield 2042's Portal mode has already been used to make a Call of Duty: Warzone-style Battle Royale mode within the shooter. While featuring some interesting workarounds, the custom-made "Warfield 100" includes a pre-game lobby, randomized loot, a closing circle, and more.

As reported by MP1ST, a Reddit user going by the handle u/chbmg recently revealed that they'd created their very own Battle Royale within 2042's new Portal creation tools. "After spending more hours in the rules editor than I care to admit, I'm pleased to announce the creation of a full battle royale experience for Battlefield Portal," revealed the user on Reddit.

In the post, chbmg explains a number of features found in the mode - many of which are similar to other modern Battle Royales such as Call of Duty Warzone. While the user does note that features in Warfield 100 could change over time following tweaks and bug fixes, there's still plenty to work with in the mode's current format.

When jumping into a game of Warfield 100, players are spawned into a pre-lobby area. Equipped with a random loadout, players can use this time to engage in some handy target practice while they wait for the lobby to fill. Players are then terminated and dropped straight into the Warfield.

Xbox Knows It Needs to Improve Its Video Capture and Sharing Features

2 years 5 months ago

Jason Ronald, Xbox's director of project management, has both acknowledged that the Xbox Series X/S' video capture and sharing features still have a long way to go while also confirming it is a priority for the team to get them right.

As reported by VGC, Ronald was speaking on the Iron Lords podcast and was asked if the company was still focused on improving Xbox Series X/S' Game DVR/in-game recording capabilities.

“I will definitely say that Game DVR is the one area – the capture and share experience – that I wish we were able to make more progress [on] this year than we were able to,” Ronald replied. “It is definitely a priority for us.

“We definitely hear the feedback. We have made some changes and we have made some improvements to the reliability and the quality of the captures but we know we still have work to do here. So that is definitely a priority for us and something that we’re going to continue to iterate on."

Ronald also recommended that people check out the Xbox Insider program, as that is where the team tests out new features and improvements and is a great place to have their feedback heard.

Grab a Nintendo Switch OLED with Paper Mario: The Origami King for £320 this Black Friday

2 years 5 months ago

There's been a surprising number of decent deals on Nintendo Switch OLED bundles this Black Friday. Earlier this week we spotted this Nintendo Switch OLED with Metroid Dread for £339 from Very. This is still available, but if you dread the idea of playing through Metroid you can grab the same console with Paper Mario: The Origami King for just £319.99 from GAME.

With the Switch OLED carrying an RRP of £309.99, an extra tenner for Paper Mario ain't bad at all. You'll need to pay for delivery on top of that, but this deal is arguably one of the best Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals we've seen on Nintendo Switch OLED consoles so far.

The Best Idle Games To Play During Holiday Season 2021

2 years 5 months ago

This holiday season, maybe you're traveling. Maybe you're not. Maybe you're going to be stuffing massive quantities of turkey into your craw, with handfuls of stuffing and cranberry gobbler sandwiches for weeks of high-quality leftovers. Perhaps you're just hanging out with a can of carbonated water and a good video game. Whatever you're doing, the holidays can be full of hustle and bustle, stress, good times, and everything else – so it might be time for an idle game. A game you can boot up, make a few decisions, and then either return to it five minutes later, five hours later, or even five days later. Good idlers, also known as "clickers" since the genre primarily began with games that took tons of tapping or clicking alongside idle economy and resource management, can be tough to find. This holiday season, I provide you with two excellent choices for your playing (or lack thereof).
