From the streets of Gotham to the far reaches of the Multiverse, these are the best comic book covers of the week!

Who would you bet to win in a battle of creativity between a team of human writers and an AI machine?

Woah, it’s Black Friday! What a wild, random event of hyper-capitalistic nightmares distilled into a single day that always falls after Thanksgiving…a holiday we don’t even celebrate here. Look, I know I’m a young bean around these parts (as I’m constantly reminded, despite numerous examples of my back being as frail as some of the dinosaurs plodding around this site) …

Black Friday is upon us soon. It’s that time of the year that both retailers and consumers seem to lose their minds, with one doing whatever they can to drop prices (like increasing them slowly in the preceding weeks), and consumers spotting for deals like hawks. Even though Black Friday has nothing at all to do with South Africa, over the years it’s become customary for people to hold on to their wealth like Bilbo Baggins clutching the one ring, so that they can blow it all on big-ticket items in the run-up to year’s end. We do quite like bargains.

Today is Black Friday, and as such there’s a bunch of games, gaming hardware and general tech on sale. One of the biggest deals you can get this year in SA is a PlayStation VR headset, which is significantly down from its R6500 launch price. Today, you can pick up a PSVR headset, with the requisite camera and some bundled games for a far more appealing R2999. It's finally in the sort of pricing where I feel that it’s worth picking up – and in the years since its release, there’s a lot of great stuff to play. If you’re picking a PlayStation VR headset up for Black Friday, here are the games we think you should grab.

It feels like there is nowhere you can go to avoid that which rhymes with Flack Fillet Slay. So why even bother? If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.

EA is not having a good month. On top of the unfolding Star Wars: Battlefront II loot box brouhaha and a quick about-turn on Need For Speed’s very similar system of grinding for progress, it looks like FIFA 18 players also have a bone to pick with the publisher. Fans of the footie sim have long been annoyed with the Weekend League in FIFA 18, a torturous commitment to earning sweet digital prizes that requires a silly amount of time to be invested in the mode.

Black Friday is a day that has very little significance in South Africa beyond one thing: Great discounts. Here are some astounding deals on games.
