If you bought a Steam Deck this year you might be on the lookout for some Cyber Monday deals (opens in new tab) for Steam Deck accessories. It’s highly unlikely Valve is going to have any sales on the Steam Deck itself in the near future, and that goes for it’s $89 docking station, too.

Luckily JSAUX’s got your back, with a Cyber Monday deal on Amazon for its 6-in-1 Steam Deck compatible docking station. Typically priced at $49.99, it was already cheaper than Steam’s dock, but for Cyber Monday it’s going for $37.99 (opens in new tab), which is 24% off. That’s less than half of what the official dock would cost you, and I dare say Amazon will deliver it more quickly, too.

The Yakuza series, henceforth to be known as the Like a Dragon series, is developed by a studio that shares its new name: Ryu Ga Gotoku, Japanese for Like a Dragon. In a recent interview between members of Ryu Ga Gotoku and Game Informer (opens in new tab), the series’ current chief director Ryosuke Horii showed off the list of songs he sings at karaoke. As GI put it, the list is a spreadsheet of “meticulous details, spread across a staggering 7,964 songs.”

That helps explain why, as Rock Paper Shotgun (opens in new tab) highlighted, the series is so obsessed with karaoke. From Yakuza 3 onwards each mainline entry in the series has been blessed with a karaoke minigame—as was the prequel Yakuza 0, the remakes of the first two games, and several spin-offs. It’s now an essential part of a series that’s become known for the contrast between its serious and melodramatic plots and the whimsical side stuff around them that lets the main characters cut loose and show their softer sides.

Zotac just dropped the prices on a bunch of its graphics cards for Cyber Monday. Whether you are going for a budget build with an RTX 3050 or want to push 4K gaming with an RTX 3070 Ti, Zotac has a handful of options at their lowest prices ever.

The graphics card sales (opens in new tab) for Cyber Monday have been pretty good, but the prices still hover around MSRP. Zotac’s cards are the same way. The best deal here is the RTX 3060 Ti Amp White. It’s both a nice aesthetic pick and sweet spot for performance and price. The 1,755MHz boost on it is a nice addition if you want to get a little closer to maxing 1440p games out.

If you’re looking for a Cyber Monday gaming mouse deal (opens in new tab) that’s not only light on price but light on actual weight, here’s one that seems ideal both for your budget and your hand. The HyperX Pulsefire Haste gaming mouse is priced at a mere $24.99 (opens in new tab)—that’s 50% off the MSRP of $49.99, and the lowest its ever been—and it only weighs 59 grams.

I can’t give this mouse a personal recommendation since I’ve never used it and we haven’t reviewed it, but Amazon reviews (78% of them are 5 stars) have a lot of great things to say about the Pulsefire Haste. According to them is indeed light, comfortable, it has great clicks and a nice scroll wheel, and the side buttons are well-placed. I saw the same sort of positive comments on Reddit. It also comes with extra grip tape and replacement skates.

The game that was called Geneshift is now known as Gene Shift Auto (opens in new tab). As Nik Nak Studios, which is to say solo developer Ben Johnson, explains, it’s changed dramatically enough during development and early access to warrant a new name. 

When launched as Geneshift, “It didn’t have cops, missions, the megamap, skill drafting, vendors or even the BR game mode!” Johnson writes. “We’re playing a completely different game, more of a sequel really, and a new name will help communicate to all the old fans just how much has changed.”

Choosing a gaming monitor is hard. You can spend days weighing the variables and considering all the tradeoffs. Eventually, though, you just have to make a decision: Are you going to plonk an enormous curved Samsung Odyssey G5 (on sale for $400 (opens in new tab)) on your desk and play some Forza or are you not?

You wouldn’t be making a terrible choice if you did. You could spend less on a higher quality display, such as a 27-inch Dell monitor for $269.99 (opens in new tab), which gets you a better IPS panel and higher pixel density. But you’d be sacrificing the size, curvedness, and ultrawideness of this 34-inch ultrawide Samsung, which also has a slightly higher refresh rate. Decisions, decisions.

Superhero comics are wordy beasts, with characters who somehow have time to fill balloons with 20-25 words of chit-chat in the same amount of time it takes to swing a single punch. Marvel’s movies are famous for the amount of banter in them too. It’s still a bit of a surprise that Marvel’s Midnight Suns—a turn-based tactics game by Firaxis, whose XCOM series isn’t exactly known for its storytelling and character work—is cramming in the words too. But according to a recent Special Message from Firaxis video (opens in new tab), it absolutely is. 

“I think we ended up with something like 65,000 lines of voiced dialogue, over two hours of cinematics, and, gosh, more branching choices than you could imagine,” says lead engineer Will Miller. As well as combat barks and plot cutscenes, there’s also a lot of conversation that happens at the Abbey, the home base where you spend downtime bonding with other members of the team.

I love that we’re at a point in gaming technology where I can look at a jaggy pixelated line and know with absolute certainty that it’s jaggy because the creators wanted it to be. It is purposeful pixelation, and upcoming isometric RPG Space Wreck is rife with it, combining a comic artist’s eye for composition and lines with a sense of animation that suits its inspirations: Classic western isometric RPGs like Fallout and Arcanum. It’s set to launch on December 5, 2022.

Space Wreck is set in a collapsed space society where your ship has been stranded among a debris-strewn junkyard with both other castaways and the people who live there. It’s set on the fundamentals of classic isometric RPG design, including the option of non-violent resolution and wildly differing paths based on your character’s statistics and skills.

After his reveal (opens in new tab) earlier this month, the full roster of Overwatch 2’s new tank character Ramattra’s abilities are out in the open alongside a trailer showing off the transforming robotic tank in-game ahead of his release on December 6, 2022.

Blizzard calls Ramattra a “Overwatch 2’s first tempo tank”, by which I think they mean that he transforms between forms as the pace of battle changes. Ramattra’s Omnic form is better at long-distance protection, while his Nemesis form is better at engendering close-range chaos.

Focus Entertainment has released a 40-minute video of music from A Plague Tale: Requiem (opens in new tab) performed by a chamber orchestra and a choir to celebrate the nomination of Asobo Studio’s game for five categories in The Game Awards 2022 (opens in new tab).

“We’re thrilled by this exciting chance, which confirms the overwhelmingly positive reception of the game. Part of the success undeniably goes to the game’s remarkable score, also nominated as Best Music for The Game Awards, composed by Olivier Derivière and featuring world-class performers. They gave an exceptional concert for the occasion of the game’s release, now available to watch on YouTube to celebrate the successful first weeks and nominations for The Game Awards,” said Focus Entertainment.
