Morning all,

Was having a chat with a mate of mine who's not as lucky as some and he hates every November as there's always a handful of games that are released that are right up his street, but if he's lucky he can only purchase one, so off the back of that discussion, what is your one must have game released recently or in the coming month?

From the poll above I would probably choose Need For Speed, but Far Cry 3 is a very close contender, as is Assassins Creed 3... Literally spoilt for choice this fall.

I realised yesterday that this November is going to be costly for me. I've bought X-Com which is on it's way to me, I've been looking at buying Dishonored, Assassin's Creed 3 has just been released, and then there is Medal of Honor: Warfighter and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. There are probably some more that have slipped my mind.

I think my vote goes to AC3 for a must have game.

It depends what games he likes because there is a nice variation of games to choose from.

Me personally, it is Assassins Creed 3. I love the series and can't get enough of it. I mention it a lot but it is my favourite game series this generation.

A close second though would be either Far Cry 3 or Hitman Absolution.

Both look like they've improved a lot from their last games.

Ultimately he's made his choice (need for speed) but it provoked the thought to ask what Neowin's one game of choice would be.

Mine would probably be either Forza Horizon (although I'm still a long way to completing Forza 4!), need for speed or far cry 3. I will ultimately pick up most of these games but one of those three will be bought this month, probably alongside football manager 13.

Toss up between Forza Horizon and NFS: Most Wanted.

I will also be interested in Hitman once it's cheap enough for me to get stuck somewhere, never come back to it and not care that I've wasted my money.

Despite the gameplay issues with Far Cry 2 I still really enjoyed it and it looks like with Far Cry 3 they've addressed a lot of the criticism of the previous game. Although I love Dishonored and XCOM: Enemy Unknown I'm still most looking forward to Far Cry 3.

I'm going to say Far Cry 3......played FC2 for awhile but it got kinda stale with the way some of the mechanics worked, which seem to be much improved in FC3. I am definitely getting AC3 as well, but I'm getting that mostly to finish up the story along with the gameplay mechanics (once I finish the story in AC games they bore me enough that I stop playing them), but I'm more interested in FC3 gameplay than AC3 gameplay. No interest in Halo 4, mostly because it's Xbox exclusive and I don't have an xbox, but I never got into the Halo series to begin with. No interest in racing games cause I'm not a console gamer and don't have a wheel or controller for my PC (keyboard sucks for racing games). Already have Dishonored and Xcom so those aren't exactly November games for me. The ones I didn't mention I have no interest at all in.

    • Very fitting name since AI users have air where there brains should be.
    • Yes, it was amusing at the time because even then dbrand was well known for stealing the designs of products from other companies. That’s what they do.
    • Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
