God Of War PS4 Update Out Now, Adds New Photo Mode

By Anonymous on May 09, 2018 11:23 pm

Sony Santa Monica has released a new update for PS4's God of War. Patch 1.20 is available to download now and introduces a few UI tweaks to the game, along with a major new feature: Photo Mode.

As Sony previously announced, Photo Mode allows players to take and edit screenshots of the game using a suite of filters, borders, and other customization options. After installing the update, players will be able to access the mode either through the Options menu or by enabling Touch Pad Quick Access via the game's settings.

Players can move the camera around in Photo Mode with the left and right thumbsticks and pan up and down using the L2 and R2 buttons. The mode also features five tabs that let players adjust the field of view, exposure, and more. You can read a description of each tab, courtesy of PlayStation Blog, below:

  • Camera: Adjust the Field of View, Focal Length, and Camera Roll.
  • Aperture: Adjust the Depth of Field, Focus Distance, and F-Stop.
  • Filters: Adjust the Film Grain, Exposure, Filter, and Filter Intensity options.
  • Borders: Add a Vignette and adjust the Vignette Intensity, and Vignette Falloff. This includes a variety of Border styles and the official God of War logo.
  • Characters: Toggle the visibility of Kratos, Atreus, and all other characters in the scene. And my personal favorite, we've added the ability to change Kratos and Atreus's facial expressions!

In addition to Photo Mode, update 1.20 increases the text size of God of War's UI and menus. This marks the second time Sony Santa Monica has tweaked the game's text size; the developer added a slider in its previous God of War patch that allowed players to manually adjust the text, but that didn't make a significant difference. This update makes the text bigger all around, which should help improve readability. The developer has also introduced a new accessibility setting that gives players the ability to re-map Rage Mode, which is by default activated by clicking both thumbsticks.

God of War has been a critical and commercial success since it launched last month. The game sold more than three million copies in its first three days of availability, becoming the fastest-selling exclusive on PS4.

12 Games You Need To Play Again

By Anonymous on May 09, 2018 11:13 pm


Some games are like the ugly duckling--they float when placed on water. No wait, that's not what I meant.

Some games are like the ugly duckling because they start off as the underdog, the one that everyone mocks, the one that nobody likes. And then they emerge into a beautiful winged bird, capable of flight faster than the speed of sound and able to dazzle anyone who walks by. Okay, maybe this metaphor got a little stretched…

Point is, many games might not get off on the strongest footing, but some of them eventually recover from their shaky starts to become decent or even excellent experiences. In this gallery we're going to run down some of those games that started poorly, as well as some solid games that have only gotten better with time.

To the duckmobile!


Final Fantasy 14


Upon its original launch seven years ago, Final Fantasy XIV was ... not great. Players complained of incomplete quests, UI issues, repeated assets, poor performance, and plenty more problems. Our Final Fantasy XIV Online review said the game lacked character, cohesion, and joy, and we gave it a 4/10. Square Enix's CEO even said the game "greatly damaged" the Final Fantasy brand. Not a great start, I'm sure you'll agree.

After the game's servers were shut down in 2012 and a PS3 version was canceled, Square Enix eventually decided to replace the MMO with a completely reworked version of the game called Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, which launched for PC in 2013. Thankfully, A Realm Reborn improved on pretty much every area of the original Final Fantasy XIV, from crafting to traversal, from its combat to its open world. That PS3 version finally made it out and was joined by a PS4 edition, which we thought was even better than the PC version. In addition, a bunch of free content updates and more extensive DLC packs have continually improved the game: Heavensward added 40 hours of excellent new story content, while Stormblood--released in June--introduced a whole new undersea world along with another 50 hours of campaign content. In short, Final Fantasy XIV is a completely different beast to the one that disappointed fans the world over in 2010--it's never been so good, and it's definitely worth another look if you were put off all the way back in 2010.


No Man's Sky


No Man's Sky was possibly a victim of its own hype machine--it was a cool concept executed fairly well, but it left some disappointed. Its world may have been vast, but much of it was empty or repetitive, and few solid threads to follow meant that players often felt lost or dismayed to carry on exploring.

Since launch, developer Hello Games has responded to the criticism in the best way possible: by making loads of cool, free stuff. In November, it added a Creative Mode and a Survival Mode--allowing you to explore or die to your heart's content--along with a base-building feature. A few months later, another update let you share that base across the internet and also introduced a permadeath option and land vehicles. And just recently, another big new update added multiplayer support, another 30 hours of story content, and much more.

In addition, there's a whole storyline that many players might have missed. A mysterious force known as Atlas offers a purpose, a sprinkling of story that helps direct you in an otherwise directionless world. If you didn't pursue Atlas first time round, it might be worth going back just to see how it pans out.

No Man's Sky is coming to Xbox One this year alongside a new update that, according to Hello, will be "an important next step in a journey for No Man's Sky," so it may be worth revisiting.


Rainbow Six Siege


Rainbow Six Siege actually launched with a positive critical reception in December 2015--it was soon after launch that the criticism began to rain down. Players complained of broken matchmaking, connectivity issues and lag, and multiple imbalances in the meta, to name just a few problems.

For months many of these issues remained, and despite player numbers staying consistently high (a testament to the excellent game underneath), matchmaking times and other issues did not improve.

Now, however, Siege is almost a different game. Following months of patches, hotfixes, balance changes, and more, Siege is finally in the state it should have been when it launched, and it's passed 20 million players with more than 2.3 million playing every day. Matchmaking is seamless, balance is much improved, and bugs are much, much rarer. The shooter has also received an extensive program of free DLC, helping the operator dynamics stay fresh and keeping players on their toes. Free maps and skins, plus new, unlockable characters, have continually offered reasons to return to Siege.

Siege has now started holding huge, free, limited-time events in addition to its standard quarterly DLC drops, and Ubisoft says it wants to continue supporting the game until it reaches 100 Operators, a feat that at the current rate would take some seven years. Rainbow Six Siege is here to stay, and the gaming landscape is better for it.


Friday The 13th


Let's not beat around the bush: Friday the 13th was a hot mess when it launched in May. Even excusing the multitude of bugs and an all-around less-than-beautiful appearance, the horror game was pretty much unplayable. Assuming you could even find a match, doing so would take upwards of 10 minutes, leading our critic to award the game a 4/10 in our Friday the 13th review.

While many of its problems remain, it is now just about possible to find a match. And when you do, Friday the 13th is a lot of fun: playing a match with a bunch of friends, when you're invested in you and your buddies escaping from the hell you find themselves in, the game can be a simultaneously terrifying and hilarious experience. There's nothing funnier than your friends screaming, after all.

What's more, developer Illfonic continues to improve the game in patches and content updates, and the highly-anticipated single-player portion is finally available.


Rocket League


Rocket League launched with… no problems at all. Or at least, no one really had any problems with it. It was a solid, fun multiplayer game with a great hook (football with cars is one hell of an elevator pitch). These days, however, it's a completely different beast.

Like many, I played Rocket League a decent amount after it launched as a PS Plus freebie in July 2015. After deciding it was indeed a solid, fun multiplayer game, I put it down and probably went back to my backwards one-dimensional games like FIFA or Cars 3: Driven to Win. (One of these is a joke; I bet you can't guess which.)

Two years on and Rocket League has evolved. A multitude of new modes have freshened the game up hugely: Rocket League is now basketball with cars, superheroes with cars, and hexagonal volleyball with cars, and more than 33 million have played the game since launch. And with another new free map launching just last month and a Switch version (featuring cross-play with Xbox One and PC) coming soon, Rocket League continues to provide new reasons to come back.


Mass Effect: Andromeda


After the hugely successful original Mass Effect trilogy, expectations were high for the fourth game in the series. Andromeda took Mass Effect's story to a new galaxy, with new characters, new locations to explore... and a whole new bunch of bugs. Despite many positive reviews, Andromeda was met with huge criticism for the janky state it launched in. Animations and character models looked strange to say the least, and some accused the sci-fi game of launching unfinished. The fallout from Andromeda's troubled launch caused publisher EA to reportedly put the franchise on hiatus, and now developer BioWare Montreal has been absorbed into EA Motive.

However, the developer continued to support and fix Mass Effect: Andromeda since launch, meaning it is now--finally--in an acceptable state. Underneath the aesthetic issues, of course, was a decent game, and with many of those problems now sorted, the experience is much improved. I's by no means perfect, of course, but it also has some of the best worlds and combat seen in the entire Mass Effect series, and it's certainly worthy of another look.


Grand Theft Auto Online


When Grand Theft Auto V first launched in 2013, it wasn't exactly lacking in stuff to do. Its huge, dense open-world and ensemble cast of characters meant it was packed with places to go, people to see, and activities to engage in. Because of that and some unfortunate server problems at launch, not everyone properly dug into GTA Online. You may, like me, have booted it up once, failed to connect, and then got distracted by the single-player mode's diverse offering and never bothered to go back. But GTA Online today is a very different entity to the one GTA V launched with five years ago.

The Heists update, released in 2015, gave the multiplayer mode more structure and set piece missions for players to work towards. Like their single-player equivalents, they are complex, multi-part missions that involve intense planning and teamwork to pull off, and they contain some of the most satisfying co-op gameplay you can have online. In addition, the GTA community continues to give fellow players more and more things to do in the form of races, deathmatches, and more via the Content Creator--and that's on top of the new stuff Rockstar itself is continually adding in.

To this day, the developer continues to support GTA Online with new missions, discounts, items to buy, and more. The company has even released a new version of GTA V specifically designed around encouraging people to play the ever-evolving Online mode.


Warframe


Warframe came out in 2013 and was largely dismissed by players and critics alike. They deemed it a competent but ultimately bland experience. However, developer Digital Extremes has continued to work on the free-to-play game in order to address the issues it had five years ago. Now, the shooter-RPG has changed significantly.

Digital Extremes updates the game frequently, adding new content and expansions and reworking what was already there. An open-world DLC pack was added for free in 2017, bringing a day-night cycle, new mini-games, additional enemies, and more. Before that, the company redesigned Warframe's movement system and even small details like UI elements. In April, the game received a new game mode and plenty of new items to equip your character with.

Warframe is a game that's progressed beyond what was there at launch into a deep and varied experience, and it's worth trying again.


Ghost Recon: Wildlands


Ghost Recon: Wildlands' initial reception might have been modest, but that hasn't stopped Ubisoft from supporting its game heavily in the months since its launch. Like with Rainbow Six Siege, Ubisoft committed to continuing to work on its game once it was out the door with both paid and free DLC. To start with, that added content included minor updates and improvements as well as new story missions and characters, such as the ones seen in the Narco Road and Fallen Ghosts expansions.

Since then, however, Wildlands has added an entirely new PvP portion, named Ghost War. That included eight maps and 12 classes at launch, but more of each have been added since the free mode was introduced in 2017. There have also been free add-ons centered around the Predator and Splinter Cell.

Ubisoft has already also announced it will continue to support Wildlands for at least another year. The coming months will bring "major" content drops, including modes, weapons, and more. Wildlands, like Siege, is always changing and improving, and there's never been a better time to dive in.


Hearthstone: Heroes Of Warcraft


Like many of Blizzard's games, Hearthstone has incredible staying power. Of course that's partly because it--like many of Blizzard's games--is excellent. It blends accessible card game mechanics with the developer's trademark ability to cram personality into every sinew of its titles. Crucially, Hearthstone contains enough depth to keep players interested to this day, around five years since it first launched in beta and over four years since its public release. Oh, and it's free-to-play.

Not only all that, but Blizzard is still releasing new content for the TCG. The company recently released a new expansion, named The Witchwood, which introduced another 135 cards to the game. A new mode launched shortly after that, and another two expansions are coming this year, which combined with some rotations of active cards will shake up the game's meta in a big way. Single-player modes such as Dungeon Run have helped keep the attention of some players who aren't huge fans of PvP, and it's that breadth of appeal that has helped Blizzard's card game remain relevant for so long. Hearthstone, like many of Blizzard's games, will be around for a while, and we can't wait to see what's next.


Final Fantasy 15


Final Fantasy XV was another game that launched to a positive reception, but a lot has changed since it came out in 2016. To start with, the game is now available on PC, and it even has a Pocket Edition on mobile. To coincide with the PC launch, Square Enix released a new, up-to-date version of the game called the Royal Edition. Why did it do this, you ask? Because like with Final Fantasy XIV, the company poured resources into support for XV long after its launch.

A total of four expansions came out in the months following launch, each adding content in their own way. Episode Gladiolus added a spin-off portion in which you control the character's quest to become a stronger guardian for Noctis, and Episode Ignis follows a similar thread for that character. Episode Prompto, meanwhile, turns the game into a third-person shooter, while Comrades introduced an entirely new multiplayer portion (which also allowed you to play with AI if you prefer).

Square Enix recently said four more Episodes will arrive in 2019, but there will likely be more to enjoy before then. Like the Assassin's Creed crossover, or the upcoming Shadow of the Tomb Raider event. To be honest, all I want is more cup noodle DLC...


Dota 2


Dota 2 was arguably one of the first titles to get the games-as-a-service model right, while simultaneously acting as a prime example of a great free-to-play game. It's also one of the best MOBAs ever made. It's pretty good, then.

With this sequel Valve went far beyond what was achieved with the original Defense of the Ancients--a mod for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos--and that's partly down to how well the developer has supported Dota 2 since its launch in 2013.

Frequent patches have brought new maps, an updated UI, a new engine, and even Rick and Morty crossover content. Of course, additional characters have continued to arrive, suitably shaking up the meta each time, as have additional modes. A co-op campaign was added in May 2017, for example, while the game's Battle Pass subscription service has even introduced a Battle Royale mode just recently. In short, this is a game that is still growing and improving after five years. It's showing no signs of slowing down, and if you have the spare time required to learn its ins and outs, Dota 2 is definitely worth trying.

Valve Will Soon Let You Play All Your Steam Games On Your Phone

By Anonymous on May 09, 2018 11:09 pm

Steam is primarily intended as a means for downloading and playing games on a computer, but Valve has extended that further over the years--Steam Link allows you to stream games to a TV over your local network. Valve is now taking that concept one step further by ditching the hardware and bringing the games to your mobile device.

Valve has announced plans to launch two new apps in the near future that will make your Steam library even more valuable. An app version of Steam Link launches the week of May 21 and allows you to stream games to Android and iOS devices. On the Android side, that includes phones, tablets, and TVs, while supported iOS devices include iPhones, iPads, and even Apple TVs.

A beta will offer only Android support at first, and your device will have to be connected to the local network through either a 5Ghz wireless or wired Ethernet connection. You'll be able to use the Steam Controller, MFI controllers, and other devices to play.

The Steam Link app will be followed "later this summer" by a Steam Video app. This will allow you to watch the movies and shows sold by Steam (yes, Steam sells those--and productivity software--too) on the aforementioned devices. As latency is much less of a concern, you'll be able to stream video over Wi-Fi or LTE. Valve says it will also support offline playback.

It remains to be seen how well these apps will work, but if they're up to snuff, it could turn out to be a very nice perk for those who already use Steam.

The New Fortnite Mystery: An Isolated, Locked Hatch

By Anonymous on May 09, 2018 10:46 pm

Fortnite generated a lot of speculation and attention from its month-long tease of an impending comet crash, and it appears Epic is already trying to stir up another community mystery. This time, players have noticed an isolated hatch deep in the woods. It does nothing, but chances are Epic has bigger plans than simply inserting a mysterious door in the ground in the middle of nowhere.

IGN reports that the hatch is indestructible and marked with graffiti scribbles that may be clues. One Reddit user looked inside the hatch with the replay tool and found only a big slab of rock. Whatever purpose it will serve, Epic isn't spilling the beans that easily. You can find the hatch in the Wailing Woods; here are some screenshots we captured of it:

The parallels to the TV show Lost seem intentional. It had a special penchant for teasing big mysteries and the second season revolved largely around a sealed hatch in the middle of the woods. As the mystery unfolded, the hatch was revealed to be one of several stations once operated by a research group that was running experiments on the island's unique properties.

Last month, Fortnite spent weeks slowly teasing a comet that appeared to be growing larger in the night sky as time went on. It eventually collided with the map, taking out Dusty Depot and creating Dusty Divot in its place. The impact also seems to have uncovered several secret bases related to the new superheroes and villains motif. Meanwhile, the popular villain du jour Thanos from Avengers: Infinity War has been added to the game. But as you might expect from one wielding a cosmic glove to control everything, he was a little unbalanced and got hit with a nerf immediately.


BioWare RPG Anthem Will Be Playable Early - GameSpot Daily

New Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Trailer Warns Of Dinosaur Mayhem

By Anonymous on May 09, 2018 10:41 pm

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is the latest movie in the long-running dinosaur action series, and it hits theaters next month. It's a direct sequel to Jurassic World, which was the second biggest movie of 2015 (after Star Wars: The Force Awakens), and still stands as the fourth most successful film ever made. A new teaser has now been released.

The promo features a voiceover from Jeff Goldblum's character Dr Ian Malcolm, who featured in Steven Spielberg's original 1993 movie Jurassic Park and its sequel The Lost World, and returns for this latest adventure. The teaser suggests that much of the movie's action is to take place off the theme park island and on the mainland--where clearly the dinosaurs don't stay in their cages. Check it out above.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom also stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Rafe Spall, Toby Jones, and BD Wong. It's directed by Spanish filmmaker J.A. Bayona, and co-written by Colin Trevorrow, who helmed the first movie. The first full trailer was released last month.

Last year, Trevorrow spoke about working with Bayona, who also helmed the horror hit Mama. "It is by far my favorite creative collaboration that I've ever been involved in," he said. "Bayona is a completely different kind of filmmaker and thinker than I am, yet we do have a lot of things in common. I was able to craft something specifically for another filmmaker that I admire. I built a Spanish horror thriller with dinosaurs in it that I probably wouldn't have built for myself."

Even though Fallen Kingdom doesn't hit theaters until June 22, the release date for the third movie has already been announced. In February, it was confirmed that it will arrive on June 11, 2021. It has also been announced that Trevorrow will return to direct it. This is Trevorrow's first movie since he was fired from Star Wars Episode IX last year.


New Battlefield 2018 Game Teased By EA, Includes Single-Player Campaign

By Anonymous on May 09, 2018 10:19 pm

A new Battlefield game is coming this year and it will be playable at E3 2018 next month, but the game has still yet to be officially announced. EA continues to tease the project, today saying that it will be a "deep and fully featured shooter" that features an "ongoing service" of some kind. The game is in development at series creator DICE in Sweden.

"With our next Battlefield game, the team at DICE is bringing the intensity of combat to life in new and unexpected ways," EA CEO Andrew Wilson said during an earnings call. "Every battle is unique, and every mode brings its own challenges--from the way you interact with the environment around you, to compelling single-player stories, to the next level of large-scale multiplayer that spans across multiple maps and modes."

A scene from Battlefield 1

Wilson went on to say that Battlefield 2018--which is rumored to be set in World War II--will learn from what made Battlefield 1 such a major success.

"This will be a deep and fully featured shooter and ongoing service that will evolve with major new experiences for our community, beginning right from launch," he explained. "Building on the success of Battlefield 1 and taking inspiration from DICE's core DNA, this new game will advance the state of the art for the franchise, while still delivering the signature gameplay and Battlefield moments that have captivated and grown our global community."

"All of the things that a Battlefield fan would expect out of a multiplayer game from DICE in the Battlefield universe will be there, while additional innovations in how we're thinking about the future of multiplayer in first-person shooters will also be there, both at launch and over time as part of a live service."

If EA does return to WWII with the next Battlefield, it will be the first in the series set during that era since 2009's Battlefield 1943. 2016's Battlefield 1 was set during World War I.

During a Q&A with investors that followed EA's earnings report today, CFO Blake Jorgensen said EA is not scared to launch the new Battlefield game during the busy holiday period. "We've been able to compete against others like Call of Duty in the past," he said, and this year should be no different, the executive added. He went on to say that Battlefield has a "very strong" player community. He said he believes fans will be "extremely excited" about the game.

That being said, Jorgensen said EA's financial guidance for the holiday quarter includes some "conservatism" due to the crowded release calendar. The holiday season every year is always busy and crowded, and this year Red Dead Redemption 2 is in the mix as well.

An analyst asked Jorgensen specifically about if the new Battlefield game might get delayed to give it some breathing room against the competition. Jorgensen did not answer this directly, but he said EA will announce the game's "exact timing" i.e. its release date, in the coming weeks and months, potentially during E3.


Arrested Development Stars Are Demanding More Money After Season 4 "Remix"

By Anonymous on May 09, 2018 10:16 pm

The fifth season of the cult comedy Arrested Development is set to hit Netflix later this month, and in advance of that, a "remixed" version of Season 4 arrived on the streaming service last week. The new version reworked the structure of the entire season and reedited the 15 longer episodes into 22 shorter ones. But while fans might be happy with this new version, it seems the cast of the show are not.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, several of Arrested Development's main actors are looking for additional compensation following the decision to reedit Season 4. The site states that Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Michael Cera, and David Cross are among the stars who feel that because they were paid for specific episodes, their salaries should be adjusted to account for the changes made by creator Mitchell Hurwitz and producer 20th Century Fox.

The key issue is that the structure of Season 4 was very different to previous seasons. Because of scheduling issues, each episode focused on a separate character rather than cutting between the entire cast. The cast's pay scale reflected this, with most members paid $100,000 each for their stand-alone episodes, $50,000 for each installment where they had a little screen time, and another $25,000 for ones in which they barely appeared.

The recut version changes this, with every actor appearing in every episode as they did in Seasons 1-3. With Fox set to benefit financially from syndication sales of the reedited season once it regains the rights from Netflix, the cast clearly feel that they are also owed some compensation. However, THR states that Fox is pushing back against the cast's demands, arguing that it has the right to reedit the existing episodes. To date, neither Fox or the cast members have commented on THR's story.

Arrested Development Season 5 hits Netflix on May 29.

Best PS4 Game Deals On The US PlayStation Store

It's a new week, so Sony has updated the PlayStation Store with a whole new set of discounts on downloadable games. For some of the deals, Sony is offering a small additional savings for PS Plus members. For others, everyone gets the same sale price. You can view the full list of PS4, PS3, and PS Vita games on sale here, or read on for our picks for the best deals in the bunch.

To kick things off, Ubisoft has sliced the prices of a bunch of its big games, ranging from the medieval brawler For Honor to the shooters Tom Clancy's The Division and Ghost Recon Wildlands; they're all available for about $20 regardless of your PS Plus status. For Assassin's Creed fans, you can get Origins, Syndicate, and the Ezio Collection on sale as well, for between $20 and $30 each.

As is often the case, Grand Theft Auto V is on sale for $30 this week, while the turn-based strategy game XCOM 2 will only set you back $20. Additionally, a bunch of smaller and/or indie games are on sale, including The Witness, The Disney Afternoon Collection, and Undertale. See below for details on the deals.

Far Cry 5 On Sale For $40 In The US--Best Deal Yet

By Anonymous on May 09, 2018 09:57 pm

It hasn't even been on the market for two whole months yet, but you can already get the open-world shooter Far Cry 5 for $40 on PS4 or Xbox One. That's 33% off its normal price, and it's the best deal we've seen on the game so far. Here's how to get the discounted rate.

First, head over to Newegg and add the game to your cart--you can get the PS4 version here or the Xbox One version here. Now just check out like you normally would, but add promo code EMCPUPX79 before finalizing your purchase. That knocks $20 off the normal price.

If you'd rather go for the Steelbook Gold edition, which comes with the season pass as well as some other digital goodies, it's available for $80 (down from $100) here on PS4 and here on Xbox One. For this edition, though, you have to use promo code EMCPUMX82.

And while the PC version of Far Cry 5 isn't on sale at the moment, PC gamers can get all previous Far Cry games for 60% off on Steam right now. It's unlikely you'll have to wait long for Far Cry 5 on PC to go on sale somewhere; we'll keep you posted.

As for the game itself, GameSpot gave it 9/10 in our Far Cry 5 review, saying, "Despite some brief irritations and missed opportunities with its narrative, spending time in the world of Hope County remains absolutely delightful. Far Cry 5 boasts a wonderfully harmonious flow to its adventure, with its smart changes to exploration, discovery, and progression distinctly bolstering the enjoyment of creatively engaging and experimenting with its spectacular open world."

Save $60 On Xbox One X

By Anonymous on May 09, 2018 09:55 pm

There's no doubt the Xbox One X is a powerful system. But, to ruin a quote from Spider-Man's Uncle Ben, with great power comes a great big price tag. With a suggested retail price of $500, Microsoft's newest console iteration isn't cheap. If only you could find a good deal on it... Turns out, right now you can. With this deal through Newegg, you can get a 1TB Xbox One X console, plus a $50 gift card, for $490. The sale ends May 12.

The deal effectively saves you $60 off the sticker price of the Xbox One X, which just so happens to be the price of a new game or a second Xbox One controller. You can see Newegg's Xbox One game selection here. Alternatively, Amazon is running a massive sale on digital copies of some of the biggest Xbox One games around.

Why get an Xbox One X? For starters, it can run a growing list of Xbox One X-enhanced games in 4K. It can even make older games, like Red Dead Redemption, look incredible. It's also the only game console on the market that can play Ultra HD Blu-ray discs (sorry, PS4 Pro owners).

In GameSpot's Xbox One X review, Jimmy Thang wrote, "While the Xbox One X is an expensive box, from a hardware standpoint, you're getting a very powerful and capable machine. You'll be hard pressed to build a comparably powerful PC for $500. On top of that, you get a 4K HDR Blu-ray player, which can cost several hundred dollars on its own."

And if you need some help deciding which Xbox One is right for you, the review offers various scenarios as well:

"Should you get an Xbox One X? That answer should largely depend on whether you'd be happy with the console's library of games. You can check out a list of all the Xbox One X-enhanced games here. If you're happy with the lineup and are thinking about jumping in, allow me to outline three different scenarios for you. If you game on a 1080p TV and don't have any plans to upgrade to a 4K one, the Xbox One S is going to be a better fit for you. While you will get some graphical enhancements with the X, you don't really get your money's worth if you don't have a 4K HDR TV.

"But what if you already own a 4K HDR TV and an Xbox One? In this case, I'd only recommend getting the X if you have the disposable cash to spare for the increased visual fidelity and performance benefits. If you have a 4K HDR TV, don't have a current gen console, and are looking to purchase one, however, the Xbox One X is a great choice."

If you're sold on an Xbox One X, visit this Newegg page before May 12.

PC gamers don't have to spend a bundle to play some great games this week. Steam's regular week-long sale features some fantastic games from the past decade or two of hits. Many of the games are on sale for 75% off, making this the perfect time to jump in on an overlooked modern classic. The sale ends May 13, so grab what you want before then.

You can micromanage characters of your own creation in The Sims 3 for $5/£6 or go on a sweeping fantasy adventure in Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Collection for $7/£3. Perhaps you'd rather learn about fixing up automobiles in Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 for $14/£10.

Several whole series of games are also on sale this week on Steam. For starters, the Far Cry games are on sale for 60% off, bringing the prices down to between $4/£3 and $20/£16 (unfortunately, Far Cry 5 isn't included in the sale). The Mass Effect and Crysis series are also on sale.
