If you're in the market for a budget-friendly gaming laptop this holiday season, Best Buy's early Black Friday sale includes an awesome deal on a recently released model from Lenovo. The Lenovo LOQ 15.6-inch Gaming Laptop is discounted to only $650 (was $1,100). It's the only gaming laptop in Best Buy's sale catalog so far, but there are a bunch of gaming desktop deals.
The $450 price cut on the Lenovo LOQ isn't categorized as a Doorbuster, so it's possible the deal will stick around beyond...
Platinum Games' Bayonetta made her North American debut in 2010 and she quickly became a fan-favorite character. And what's not to love? She's a shapeshifting witch who's very good at gunplay. And she almost never appears without her glasses, as insisted upon by her creator, Hideki Kamiya.
Earlier this week, a fan on X asked Kamiya about a meme-worthy quote he was alleged to have said: "Bayonetta’s glasses are just like her underwear." Via Automaton, Kamiya attributed the quote to animation...
After 82 straight days of near-constant play, one Fortnite player has done something no one else has claimed before, as far as they know: reaching level 7,000 without cheating. The player, known as Terns on X and Canada in-game, documented the climb throughout the season, posting the milestone on social media this week.
The achievement, however, doesn’t mean much tangible at all. Fortnite caps meaningful rewards around level 200, and higher levels don’t grant extra items, bonuses, or skill...
Since its first chapter launched in October 2021, Poppy Playtime has emerged as one of the premier indie horror titles in gaming, with its cute-in-a-creepy-way mascot Huggy Wuggy reaching Freddy Fazbear levels of notoriety. Today, appropriately on Halloween, Mob Entertainment has delivered a treat: The first teaser for Poppy Playtime Chapter 5, the final chapter of the Poppy Playtime saga, is here.
The 45-second trailer shows off some of the places players will be traveling through in the...
The entire original Halo trilogy may be set to receive the Unreal Engine 5 treatment following Halo: Campaign Evolved, as a prominent Halo leaker claims both Halo 2 and 3 remakes are being made.
Hot off the heels of Halo: Campaign Evolved's official reveal, prominent Halo insider Halo Leaks on X stated Halo 2 and Halo 3 will get the same treatment. Like Halo: Campaign Evolved, which looks to remake Bungie's 2001 shooter with updated visuals, gameplay changes, and even new levels, both...

Over a quarter-million players were above ground scavenging for loot or hanging out in Speranza at the same time together in Arc Raiders yesterday. That eye-popping number set a new Steam record for concurrent players in the extraction-shooter genre--with PvP features.
Spotted by Eurogamer, Arc Raiders peaked with 264,673 players on Valve's platform for the game's launch on October 30, per SteamDB. The strong start led to some server problems for the extraction shooter, though also proves...
Before Bloober Team's Silent Hill 2 remake was released last October, there was a report that the game would be a timed exclusive for PlayStation 5 for at least a year. Now, the year is up and an updated listing by the Entertainment Software Rating Board appears to indicate that a leap to Xbox Series X|S is immanent.
The ESRB has slightly modified its Silent Hill 2 page (via Insider Gaming) to state that it's certified for the "Xbox Series" consoles. The rating itself hasn't changed, and...
A single throwing knife was the most devastating weapon in Borderlands 4 when the game first launched, and a few weeks later, Gearbox finally fixed the infamous tool. Seemingly gone for good, the "Crit Knife" has come back from the dead, as this week's update has restored it to most of its former glory.
Originally, the Crit Knife was creating an unintended damage loop that allowed players to melt through even the toughest bosses within seconds. You'd need a throwing knife with the...
It seems that Square Enix is getting into the Halloween spirit and upping its fashion game. That would explain why the company behind Final Fantasy 14 announced on October 31 that its long-running MMO would do away with class requirements for glamours, the game's equivalent of transmogrification.
In layman's terms, players can now use the appearance of any armor set regardless of their current class and job. That means that healers like white mages can now ditch their fancy robes and look...
A streamer who found himself in the legal crosshairs of Nintendo has been ordered to pay $17,500 in damages to the company. Nintendo sued Jesse "EveryGameGuru" Keighin in 2024, accusing him of livestreaming pirated games before they were released and for sharing links to the Yuzu and Ryujinx emulators.
Keighin had gone on the offensive after he was accused, telling Nintendo that "you might run a corporation, but I run the streets," on his social media channels (via TorrentFreak). The...
Akira Yamaoka, best known for his decades-spanning contributions to the Silent Hill series, is bringing his talents to an upcoming horror game from the creators of Turbo Overkill. Total Chaos is scheduled to arrive later this year, and GameSpot can exclusively reveal both Yamaoka's involvement and his theme song for the game, "Catharsis." Listen to the song's world premiere below.
Total Chaos was born as a mod for Doom 2, originally released in 2018. The forthcoming adaptation from Trigger...
Arc Raiders is a high-octane third-person extraction shooter set in a dense city that's teeming with life. While the game isn't going to demand an ultra high-end PC full of the best hardware, you might see your rig struggle in certain areas and during gunfights if your settings aren't properly dialed in.
You never want to lose all of your gear during a drop due to laggy gameplay or frame drops. To stop that from happening, we have a full list of the optimal PC graphics settings you should...
Arc Raiders is a PvPvE third-person extraction shooter where you play the role of a scavenger in an apocalyptic future. In this game, you're tasked with collecting valuable resources and gear from dangerous locations, and you must safely extract from the map to keep all your loot. Arc Raiders puts you up against robotic and human threats, so extracting with your gear can be difficult, but Raider hatch keys can provide you with a safer route. Our guide explains how you can get Raider hatch...
If you've decided to play Arc Raiders on PC, then you'll have access to a couple of menus in the settings that console players won't have. From the first time you launch the game, you can find and alter the keybinds and mouse settings menus, which, of course, both have a massive impact on your gameplay.
While you could leave the default options as they are and not customize any of the settings, that might put you at a disadvantage against other PC players with dialed-in settings. To ensure...

Helldivers 2 is in its self-care era. At least, that was the major takeaway from a frank Q&A with the game's director Mikael Eriksson, where he discusses, among other things, a new schedule for patches that the team hopes will lighten Helldivers 2's technical debt.
The critically acclaimed live-service shooter, which tasks players with grouping up and tackling hordes of alien foes in overwhelmingly hostile environments, has fallen on especially hard times lately. Frequent updates to the...
