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.

    • "The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months¨ I'd prefer to see the lowest price in over a year
    • Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.
    • The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para. The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The tech specs are given below: Specification TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 2TB Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Interface PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 Form Factor M.2 2280 M.2 2280 Controller InnoGrit Controller Samsung In-house Controller NAND Flash 3D TLC 3D TLC DRAM Cache None (HMB supported) 2GB LPDDR4 Sequential Read (Max) 5,000 MB/s 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write (Max) 4,500 MB/s 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4K) Up to 600,000 IOPS Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4K) Up to 700,000 IOPS Up to 1,550,000 IOPS TBW (Endurance) 1,300 TBW 1,200 TBW MTBF 3,000,000 hours 1,500,000 hours Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C -40°C to 85°C Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5ms 1,500G / 0.5ms Heatsink Patented Graphene Heat Spreader No Get them at the links below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) TEAMGROUP T-Force G50 2TB SSD (TM8FFE002T0C129): $279.99 (Sold by TeamGroup, Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • If you can't spell a simple word that 2nd graders learn, your entire argument is suspect.
    • And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
