PCGamesN Saturday, November 27, 2021 8:45 AM  As you slot in the last piece of the RGB puzzle that is your gaming PC, you turn it on and bask in its rainbow glory for a while, only to find that it doesn't quite feel complete. Attaching smart lights to your wall is a great way to complement your already colourful setup, and Cyber Monday is the perfect time to bag a discount. Right now, you can get 30% off all Yeelight smart light products. The Yeelight smart LED light panels, are capable of displaying 16 million colours and support Razer's Chroma RGB software 'Game Sync' feature, which will allow the panels to enhance your gameplay experience by emitting colours relevant to the on-screen action. You can grab six panels, or a pack of 9, by clicking here. They're more than just a pretty face, and can be controlled via Yeelight's smartphone app or by your assistant of choice, be they Alexa or Google. The panels like to boogie, too, and can provide your own light show while listening to your favourite tunes thanks to their 'Music Sync' feature.

PCGamesN Saturday, November 27, 2021 8:08 AM  There's now a way to play an Among Us-style mode in the original Dark Souls, thanks to a new mod from Inferno Plus - the same modder who basically turned Dark Souls into Halo a little while back. The Dark Souls Among Us mod is available for free now, and it's got a surprising amount of depth to it. Inferno Plus has previously been on a journey to make Dark Souls as cursed as possible, even going so far as to completely overhaul the game's multiplayer. Their newest mod adds a brand new multiplayer game mode to Dark Souls 1 and is available to download now for free for both the Prepare To Die and Remastered editions of the game. This release is the 2.0.2 version of their Dark Souls: Remastest Mod and it adds a co-op social deduction mode similar to Among Us or a more team-friendly Trouble In Terrorist Town. It creates a party where three players are trying to beat the area and a buffed boss but a fourth player is trying to kill them all, and none of the good guys know who the traitor is. |
PCGamesN Saturday, November 27, 2021 8:07 AM  We're at that time of year again, where the prices of gaming gear are laid on the chopping block, the axe is lowered, and we're left with discounts spilling out into a basket below. The crowd cheers. Gruesome imagery aside, the Cyber Monday sale might just be the perfect time of year to upgrade, and there are quite a few tempting gaming mouse deals primed and ready to go ahead of the big day. So, what separates a gaming mouse from your everyday office clicker? After all, you've already broken free from the confines of a trackpad, what more could you possibly need? For a start, they can give you the edge in FPS games with better sensors and adjustable DPI, extra buttons when playing the best MMOs, or cut the cord so you don't get your wires crossed without wireless input lag. Most other times of year, these features come at a premium price, but Razer, Logitech, and SteelSeries aren't waiting for the weekend to roll around. We suspect we'll see Corsair, Roccat, and HyperX join in on the fun by the time Cyber Monday lands on our doorstep, too, if you have your eye on a particular model.

PCGamesN Saturday, November 27, 2021 7:32 AM  Cyber Monday 2021 is here, and there are plenty of PC deals out in the wild. Of course, there are plenty of parts that probably deserve an upgrade, but if you had to put your money to one, we recommend grabbing the best gaming keyboard to complete your setup. Better be quick, though, because while some deals last the weekend depending on stock, others are fleeting and only available for the one day. Why exactly should you get a gaming keyboard over the standard beige rectangle dossed around the workplace? Those everyday keyboards can only handle an average of two inputs at once, which can be problematic when you want to dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge out of your enemy's way, throw a grenade, and swap weapons in quick succession. The benefits don't end there either, as gaming keyboards often come with faster response times, comfortable wrist rests, macro keys, media buttons, RGB lighting, a choice of different kinds of switches, and plenty more goodies, too.

PCGamesN Saturday, November 27, 2021 7:14 AM  Everybody had it marked in their calendars. Go back to yours, you'll have done it too - a big, red marker pen circle encompassing all 12 months of 2007, and a lambda symbol above it. "Half-Life 2 Episode 3 probably releasing here, remember to play", you'll have written below it in the excited scrawl of a child adding a Super Soaker to their Christmas list. But like that water-based weapon, which you fondly imagined tearing through at least one dermal layer as you put yourself to bed on Christmas eve, it never did arrive, did it? Valve didn't even have the decency to fob us off with a book and some chocolates, they just let the year conclude without a damn thing happening. And the next one. And the subsequent 13 after that. In those intervening years, we've at least been able to piece together what its developers had planned for Half Life 2 Episode 3. In 2017, long-time series writer Marc Laidlaw cunningly imparted its plot under the guise of fanfic, giving fans the resolution Valve never offered. |
PCGamesN Saturday, November 27, 2021 6:34 AM  The studio behind DC Universe Online is swapping comic book multiverses to create a triple-A Marvel MMO for its next project, and it's being headed by City of Heroes lead designer Jack Emmert - who has been trying to get a Marvel Universe Online game going since at least 2006. DC Universe Online - the DC Comics MMO by Dimensional Ink Games and Daybreak Game Company - will be 11 years old in January, so it's perhaps not a surprise that these studios are looking ahead to their next game. While DC Universe Online will continue to be supported, Dimensional Ink Games has started work on its next unannounced project - which we now know to be a Marvel MMO. The Q3 2021 investor presentation for Enad Global 7 - the holding company that owns Daybreak - reveals that the unannounced massively multiplayer online game at Dimensional Ink will be "Marvel IP based" and "triple-A", and will be led by City of Heroes designer Jack Emmert, who is also currently heading up DC Universe Online. |
PCGamesN Saturday, November 27, 2021 5:24 AM  Black Friday may have passed, but Cyber Monday savings are already appearing at Best Buy.

PCGamesN Saturday, November 27, 2021 5:27 AM  Cyber Monday 2021 is here, and the perfect time to pick up one of the the best gaming headsets. Wrapping your ears in a good paid of cans is just as important as a quality mouse or keyboard in your setup, allowing you to both communicate clearly with teammates, hear enemy footsteps across the map in shooters like Rainbow Six Siege or Call of Duty: Vanguard or just listen to music at night without upsetting the rest of your house. They're not the cheapest piece of equipment in the world, particularly when you're looking for something high-end, but that all changes when you introduce heavy discounts. Thankfully, Cyber Monday is upon us and sales are in abundance to offer you great deals on a quality set of cans. Whether you want to save money on a budget model that covers all the bases, or a premium option that suddenly has much more value, we've rounded up the best Cyber Monday gaming headset deals, with options from popular brands such as Razer, Logitech, and Corsair. Remember to keep checking back here, as there are more deals cropping up as we creep closer to the big day, but don't hang around either, as they're flying off the shelves.

PCGamesN Saturday, November 27, 2021 5:27 AM  Gaming chairs are arguably one of the most important parts of any gaming desk setup. Sure, finding the best gaming monitor, best gaming keyboard, and best gaming mouse during Cyber Monday might be more of a PC gaming priority, but ultimately, a reliable seat will help you stay in the game for longer. Of course, while ergonomics are important, there's no reason why you can't also be stylish and economical while purchasing a new gaming chair for your caboose this Cyber Monday. Unlike traditional seats, there's a lot to consider when it comes to choosing a gaming chair. From premium materials to fancy features and customisation, ones designed for lengthy gaming sessions are worlds apart from their four-legged ancestors. Naturally, this also means that you'll need to consider various brands across a range of different price points. If your current setup is subtle and efficient, you'll have no trouble finding a chair that screams practicality during Cyber Monday. However, if you're a fan of Razer, Corsair, and Logitech products, you'll also be able to stay faithful to the bold look of your favourite gaming PC brands.

PCGamesN Saturday, November 27, 2021 5:30 AM  Cyber Monday 2021 has already begun, and the internet is already abundant with bargains. Yet, while some shoppers like to dive into the sales headfirst, sometimes it's nice to just have everything you need in the one place.

Whether you need to replace your old components or are simply looking to treat yourself, as you deserve, there's plenty of great deals to be had ahead of the holiday rush that is Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

PCGamesN Saturday, November 27, 2021 5:31 AM  Cyber Monday 2021 is upon us with fantastic discounts across the board, so if you're not using a VPN to keep your online habits private and personal, don't let it be because of the cost of the subscription. Many reputable VPN providers, such as Surfshark, PureVPN, NordVPN, and more have slashed the prices of their plans, with the cheapest deal working out as little as just $1.25 per month. The best VPN deals grant you tonnes of neat benefits while using the internet at a fraction of the cost. Not only do they make your internet connection more secure (which is valuable, but not exactly fun), they can also give you access to the region-exclusive features of various online services, and free you up from service provider induced bandwidth restrictions. It's nice to have two people streaming in the same house where both of them get to enjoy HD picture quality. For your convenience, we've gathered together six VPN deals for you to enjoy this Cyber Monday. Every service is slightly different, so we've given a small overview of what each provider can give you, along with the details of the discounts they're currently providing.

PCGamesN Saturday, November 27, 2021 5:32 AM  You've come home from a long day and want to kick back with your favourite videogame, only to find out there's an update so big it can no longer fit on your device - yes, we're looking at you, Call of Duty. It sounds like you might need a new SSD, which doesn't have to cost as much as you think. Games are constantly getting bigger, whether you're paying attention to the intricate graphical details or getting lost in their sprawling worlds as Rockstar, Bethesda, and Ubisoft all compete for the largest map possible. Even Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War barely fits on a 250GB drive with all game modes taking up a hefty 175GB. Your first thought might be to buy a new hard drive, and you wouldn't be wrong in thinking they offer more capacity for a significantly lower price. But unless you want to spend more time hanging around on a loading screen than playing the game, you're better off with a good SSD to speed things up. There are even plenty of deals from WD, Samsung, and Crucial that rival what we'll see on Cyber Monday if you don't want to wait around.

PCGamesN Saturday, November 27, 2021 5:33 AM  The humble gaming monitor has come a long way in the past few years, and now PC gamers are blessed with all sorts of options, from gorgeous IPS panels with sublime colours to curved displays that fully immerse you in your favourite game worlds. The best part is that you don't even need to wait until Cyber Monday to get your hands on a discounted gaming display. For the competitively minded among you, you really can't afford to put off upgrading to one of the best gaming monitors with a high refresh rate. The difference between a 60Hz and 144Hz display is night and day, and you'll find the smoother picture will help you enter any gunfight in a game like CS:GO or Rainbow Six Siege with confidence. It doesn't matter how good your gaming PC is if you're still playing on a display with washed-out colours and a refresh rate that can't keep up with your framerate. While the thriftiest of you might want to wait for Cyber Monday to get your hands on the best possible deals, there are plenty of discounts ahead of the November weekend.
