After all, if toasters can have RGB lighting, surely HDMI cables can, right? As a “limited offer,” Vivify is selling the 9-foot and 15-foot RGB HDMI cables for $79.99 and $99.99, respectively. As points of comparison, you can buy a 10-foot braided AmazonBasics HDMI cable for $9.99, or a 15-foot one for exactly $12. I personally tend to gravitate towards Monoprice for cables, and over there, you can snag a 10-foot certified premium HDMI cable for $5.80 (plus shipping). It’s made with “quality fib

The Acer Predator Helios 300 is one of the most popular gaming laptops around, though the hardware inside can vary from model to model. Laptop deals are heating up as Black Friday approaches, and now you can get one variant of the Helios 300 for $1,199.99, a $200 savings from the previous price. The model on sale (PH317-53-77HB) has a 9th-generation Intel Core i7-950H processor, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics card with 6GB of VRAM, a 17.3-inch 1080p IPS display, 8GB of DDR4 2666MHz RAM,

X019 is Microsoft’s celebration of all things Xbox, a big fan event in London where you can show up in person to play new and upcoming Xbox games. More importantly, though, X019 also includes a special episode of the Inside Xbox livestream, where Microsoft will be showing off games and hopefully dropping a few new announcements. The Inside Xbox broadcast is the main event. Where to watch X019You can watch the Inside Xbox stream via Mixer, but the event will also stream on YouTube, Twitter, Faceb

(Image credit: JoelLikesPigs)I never thought I’d feel grateful to be able to move to the right, but after earning it the hard way in free platformer Nothing, I’ll surely appreciate this freedom of movement in the next platform game I play. It’s a jokey platformer, a few minutes long but with some actually challenging platform moments that play on your inability (for most of the game) to walk to the right. The primary unlocks here are your ability to move left, and to jump, but there are plenty o

The latest Crusader Kings 3 developer diary tackles war, one of the subjects Paradox largely kept to itself when the sequel was announced in October. Armies in Crusader Kings 3 are mostly made up of conscripted peasant levies who aren’t very good at fighting but can protect your more valuable troops—your men-at-arms. These units have roles like light cavalry or heavy infantry, but there are also units unique to specific cultures or regions. As well as different stats, you’ll also find units who

Age of Empires 4 was announced back in 2017, but since then we’ve learned very little about the Relic-developed sequel—that will change very soon. We’ll be able to see it in action for the very first time during X019 on November 14. As well as the gameplay reveal, I wouldn’t be surprised if we got a release date, too, or at least a release window. The first footage will appear alongside the launch of Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition. Give my Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition review a read

What’s in the latest Fortnite patch notes 11.11? Epic Games is no longer a fan of patch notes, which makes our job a bit tougher, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be in the loop. Here’s everything we can glean about the latest Fortnite update. Preliminary Fortnite patch notes 11.11: expected bug fixesDue to an issue, disabled Motorboats are disabled in competitive playlists and Tournaments. We’ve also rounded up the best Fortnite skins for your gawking pleasure.

Real-time tactics duo Commandos 2 and Praetorians are both getting remasters, which publisher Kalypso Media has announced are coming in January. They’ll be getting console versions too, but we’re getting them on PC first. The Praetorians beta will also let you play the multiplayer mode. Commandos 2 HD Remastered and Praetorians HD Remastered are due out on January 24, 2020. They’re available separately, but there’s a discount if you get them together in the Double Pack.

A new content update set to release later this month is designed to address some of these points, in the process adding a bunch of new features. In his update post, Barone writes that he doesn’t want to spoil all of the new additions, but provided some examples. For instance, Wild Bait is no longer “essentially worthwhile”: it will now have the chance of attracting double the amount of fish. We already know a few things about the 1.4 update: there will be a new map called Four Corners, and there

The deals on gaming PCs appear to be ramping up as Black Friday approaches. If you have the budget, one model from SkyTech with an RTX 2070 graphics card is on sale for $1,000, a drop of $280 from the original price. That’s significantly cheaper than every other gaming PC with the same graphics card (at least on Newegg), and the rest of the specs aren’t bad either. Most PCs around this price use a GTX 1660 graphics card, making this desktop with a significantly more-powerful RTX 2070 Super an ex

I’m a couple hours into Bee Simulator and so far it’s more arcade game than simulation. Plus, the bee I’m chasing cheats by not flying through all the rings. Bee Simulator also has local co-op so you can play with up to four bee pals, though I haven’t tried that yet. Crank up the buzzing sounds in Bee Simulator, I say. Bee Simulator launches on November 14 on the Epic Store, and sometime next year on Steam.

But I’d never been anywhere from a videogame before, which inspired me to take some time out of a recent holiday to Japan to visit locations from two of my favourite series, Yakuza and Shenmue. So far so good, but the real reason I was there was Dobuita Street: a little shopping district and a major location in Shenmue. You can tell it’s the same place, but it felt more bustling and city-like than the quiet, parochial little streets in Shenmue. But of the two videogame locations I visited, Kabuk

We’re over halfway through that coveted licensing deal, though, and EA has only released two Star Wars games: Battlefront and Battlefront 2. The third, Jedi: Fallen Order, will be out on Friday. Excluding the Disney-published mobile games and the Warner Bros LEGO games, that’s just three new Star Wars games in six years at a time when Star Wars is at the peak of its popularity and saturation. Adding to the pressure on Fallen Order is that it’s the only game for Star Wars fans to look forward to

Free League Publishing and 20th Century Fox have joined forces to create a tabletop RPG set in the harsh universe of the Alien films. Alien: The Roleplaying Game has two playable modes, cinematic and campaign. Free League Publishing have printed these rules in a hardback book and thrown in some cool illustrations, which you can see in the trailer above. It’s becoming more and more apparent that Free League Publishing knows tabletop game fans’ biggest weaknesses. Alien: The Roleplaying Game will

Nvidia has begun pushing out a new GPU driver update (441.20 WHQL) for GeForce graphics cards, and if you plan on playing Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order when it releases on Friday, this is the one you want. That’s because it’s considered a “Game Ready” driver release for Fallen Order, which basically means Nvidia’s coders baked in performance and stability optimizations specific to that game. The double-edged lightsaber, of course, is the risk that comes with installing new drivers right out of th

Razer’s Blade laptop series series of laptops have always paired sleek aesthetics with awesome performance, and typically have a substantial price tag to match. However today you can grab this year’s model of the Razer Blade 15 at Best Buy for $2,199 ($400 off).

It’s flanked by a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti GPU (6GB GDDR6) and 16GB (2x8GB) of DDR4-2666 memory. Granted, we have seen other laptop deals featuring the same GPU for less money—specifically, Lenovo’s Legion Y540 stands out as a good bargain. What you get he

Wolfenstein: Youngblood, the best teenage-girls-slaughtering-Nazi-pigs game to be released in 2019, got a major free update today that adds an new endgame mission that will set players off through two brand-new areas—a Parisian reservoir and a secret Nazi bunker—in search of “Da’at Yichud Artifacts.” Once the job is done, 20 new Treasure Maps will be added to the game’s Missions tab, each of them leading to artifacts that will reward those who can find them with experience, silver coins, and abi
