The 1TB Crucial MX500 is one of our favorite SSDs for gaming, since it offers very similar performance to Samsung’s SATA drives for a (usually) better price. Like all SSDs, the MX500 has gradually dropped in price over the past few months, and now you can buy the 500GB version for $64.99—a $10 reduction from the previous Amazon price. This is a 500GB SATA drive, with 3D NAND memory and a 5-year limited warranty. You can read our full review here, but long story short, it’s about as fast as a SAT

The Shenmue 3 Kickstarter wrapped up in mid-2015 with more than $6.3 million pledged, a massive crowdfunding success by any measure. A “slacker backer” campaign continued to raise funds and carried it over the $7 million in July. That campaign ended recently too, and in a Kickstarter update posted yesterday developer Ys Net revealed the final, all-in totals: $7,179,510, contributed by 81,087 backers. “There are now less than 10 months left until the release date on August 27, 2019! Barring any f

Either way, if you need a new graphics cards, we found some stellar deals on a handful of Radeon RX 580 and 570 models that pack a lot of bang for your buck. The least expensive of the bunch is a Gigabyte Radeon RX 570 card.

Our normal best gaming PC build guide aims for around $1,250 for its budget, while the high-end build goes for $2,000. We’re going to do two parts lists this year, one for a midrange PC and one for a high-end build. That will be the high-end build, while the mainstream build will shoot for a budget half as high.

Today is officially Black Friday, a day of great deals and savings as far as the eye can see—we’ve got the best of it rounded up for you here—and indie digital storefront Itch.io is taking part in the festivities by not having a sale. Instead of asking developers to drop their prices, it’s giving 100 percent of its cut on sales for the day to The Trevor Project, a charity that provides support for LGBTQ youth in the US, and The Nature Conservancy, which works to combat climate change and encoura

Rapture Rejects, the 2D battle royale set in the Cyanide and Happiness universe, is built around kind of an unusual premise: The Rapture has happened and you didn’t get in—but there might be one spot left. Just one, though, and there’s a lot more than one of you left behind, which means there’s going to have to be a weeding-out process. I like the setup, mainly because I like Cyanide and Happiness, but I do wonder how its comedic edge will hold up over the course of many (or even just a few) gam

This is technically a Black Friday deal: ThinkGeek has a Borderlands Claptrap Car Charger on sale for $20, and it will talk to you. How ya feelin’ minion? Ya feelin’ good? I’m feelin’ good. You can grab Claptrap (if you really want to) and lots of other nerd ephemera on sale during ThinkGeek’s Black Friday sale.

Maia was one of the first Early Access games I covered, appearing on Steam way back in 2013. Maia hits 1.0 today, and the haiku are still there. I started a new colony last night and was already in trouble by the end of the tutorial. There are loads of extremely important things a colony needs, even to just get through the first few days in tact, but you begin with almost nothing. Colonists can be influenced, but they’re also at the mercy of their bodies—simulated down to how sweaty they are—and

It did not, however, find a link between loot boxes and gambling. “Loot boxes part of growing child gambling problem reveals UK study,” Metro claimed. Even were the report to conflate online gambling with loot boxes, which it does not, online gambling rates are relatively low. “We’ve not in any way, in the survey, referred to it as exposure to gambling,” a Gambling Commission spokesperson told GamesIndustry.biz. The UK Gambling Commission maintains its stance that loot boxes are not a gateway to

The idea for the Chicken Trooper, as it was originally known, was formed earlier this year in the mind of a young Fortnite fan named Connor. His father shared it to Reddit, at which point an artist got involved, turning it into something more suitable for the game. Epic picked it up and ran with it, and here we are: As of today, the Tender Defender is an official Fortnite skin. I surprised Connor with the skin (right before we had to leave to an event) and he and his brother loved it,” he wrote

Looking for some great games to play at a family or friendly gathering over the holidays? It can be hard for everyone to crowd around a PC, but board games are the perfect alternative, and a bunch of our favorite board games for PC gamers are on sale for Black Friday at Amazon.

XCOM: The Board Game | $48 (save $12)The co-op board game is a turn-based take on Pandemic-style panic, placing you and a few other fri

In the physical realm, a single competitive Magic deck can easily cost $200, but Hearthstone has always had a fuzzier relationship with cost. In order to play Artifact at all, you’re going to need to give Valve $19.99 for the base game. Your initial “investment” nets two 40-card starter decks, 10 card packs, and 5 event tickets. You get to try all the cards in the game, but you won’t build a collection to make constructed decks with. Artifact is going to cost money to play.

In Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord, you can take a break from besieging castles, pillaging villages and building businesses to start a family.

For all other details about the game, including trailers and new features, check out everything we know about Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord. As they grow older, you can spend time with them, teaching them skills that you’ve learned

If you’re looking for a well-specced gaming laptop right now, this is one of the best Black Friday deals out there by far. It’s just $750 for an i7 and a 1060 from Walmart—a bargain considering the prices we’ve seen lesser laptops floating around for a similar price. Given the hardware, this would make a solid choice for most current games, if you’re not too fussed about higher settings. If you’ve been holding out, then, waiting for a laptop around this price better than a 1050 or 1050Ti, get on

When my old pair eventually gave out I just bought some new ones, which is always a sign you’ve found the right hardware. It comes with a USB audio soundcard attachment where you can change volume and toggle the virtual surround sound on or off. The set comes with both memory foam pads and velour ear pads. If you’re switching over to a console, it plugs into a PS4 pad without complaint, and the mic is compatible. For more great PC gaming deals throughout Black Friday and Cyber Monday, keep an ey

For proof, look no further than this beefy 1TB Samsung 860 Evo. The 860 Evo is a SATA drive, of course. So it won’t trade blows with the best M.2 NVMe drives for raw performance.

We reported on Half-Life 2 Classic last year, but since then there have been some big changes and, most recently, the release of a new demo. The goal for the Half-Life 2 Classic team was to recreate all of Half-Life 2 with the original Half-Life engine, GoldSrc, but last year they were still figuring some things out. For instance, did they want to try and match Half-Life 2’s style and fidelity, or did they want to downgrade everything, making the models look more like the first game’s? “The demo

Image via Brogadyn on Reddit“My character currently is unkillable, and I mean… really unkillable,” Fallout 76 player Brogadyn announced on the official subreddit yesterday. A bug has made them effectively invincible, which is certainly one way to win a survival game. If Brogadyn wasn’t restricting what they do in the game, this invincibility bug would have an impact on anyone they played with or fought. It launched in a terrible state, especially if you wanted to play with anyone else, but imp
