My kids have started playing fortnight again. Its gone back to the original map and it's caused a huge resurgence in popularity.

I've had a few goes. It's pretty good in zero build mode. I loved cod warzone but I was just cannon fodder. This is so much easier.

It's a far better game than warzone, when they brought out zero build we gave it a go and pretty much the whole group moved over.

Cyberpunk on offer for only 20 quid on the ps store so finally going to give it a go.

Finally got to mutant year zero, an xcom like strategy game. Had been wanting to play it for a while but that turned into about 4 years.... Put it off as I'd heard it was hard but got the turn based bug again after playing hard west 2.

Anyway, great game, and will definitely be looking to pick up misama chronicles, by the same team, in the black friday sales, although I Believe it's only on PS5 or PC, and my laptop can't rut it for sure!

Completely different game to when it launched. Definitely worth 20 quid.

Wolfenstein Old Blood is an excellent game, 18% through and it doesn't disappoint.

It's an enjoyable shoot em up, I may dig this out again.

Played them all when I had Covid, made the experience far easier to deal with, great games.

My lad (11) is asking for a gaming PC. I know they can cost a fortune but can anyone recommend something I can pick up off the shelf at a reasonable price

Are you a Costco member? They have a HP Victus RTX 4060 on offer currently for under £650.

I'm thinking of upgrading from my old 1060 myself, it was as Asus (personal preference )I'd be joining Costco just for this deal.

Build your own, it's really not difficult and you'll save a few hundred quid. Don't forget monitor, Windows, keyboard and mouse (perhaps an Xbox controller if you don't have one.

This looks okay. I'm quite tempted myself.

KOLINK Observatory HF - Ryzen 5 5600G + 16GB + A520 Tuf + 480GB SSD + 500W - Vega 7 System - £280 | hotukdeals

That is just the PC though. So no monitor, keyboard etc. And would need a graphics card as well.

I've got quite an old (near 10 year old PC) and something like this where I need a little more horsepower is probably what I need.

If you want a prebuilt one, I always use Scan. Use them for individual components too.
