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.

    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
    • It's growing on me, however, your right, it make better usability sense if the tabs were bellow the address bar.
    • Qwen 3.6 is better value per dollar, and you can run it locally for free.
