While SSDs and traditional hard drives have continued to fall in price, the price gap between them remains large. If you want some of the speed benefits of SSDs at a price closer to hard drives, this early Black Friday deal might interest you. One 2.5-inch 2TB ‘hybrid’ drive from Seagate is now $60 in the US ($27 off usual price) and £68 in the UK (about £17 off). Regular 2TB SSDs usually go for around $200 these days, so this 2TB hybrid drive for a fourth of the price is awfully tempting. That’

If you’re looking for a new headset this Black Friday, the HyperX Cloud Alpha is a great pick, and it’s on sale for $79.99 on Amazon. It sits comfortably in our number one position for best all-around gaming headset, and while this isn’t the lowest price it’s ever been, it’s close. We love the Cloud Alpha for its bombproof build quality, wide frequency response range (13Hz-27,000Hz), and aviation-style design. You can’t go wrong with the HyperX Cloud Alpha, especially at this price. If wired hea

With November’s halfway point now well behind us, Valve has released its list of the top 20 new game releases for October. Some of them, like Destiny 2 and Disco Elysium, won’t surprise anyone; but others, well, they might.

Two years ago, Gearbox halted development on its hero shooter Battleborn after it failed to catch on with audiences, even as a free-to-play game.
