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.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
