Middle-Earth: Shadow of War is one of my top ten games of the year, a sprawling sandbox that makes liberal use of its source material to tell its own tale. It’s massive, has dozens of hours of contents and it’ll leave you caring for a gang of smelly fat Orcs as if they were slightly better smelling members of your own family. A great game, that many people locally can’t wait to start playing tomorrow. Digitally that is, because physical copies will be delayed until Thursday.

Neve Stop Sneakin' is the follow-up to Dust: An Elysian Tale, but it couldn't be further from a spiritual successor. It will, however, give you fond memories of the original Metal Gear Solid.

If you haven’t had a chance yet to try it out, then Hitman is utterly magnificent. Six episodes of intrigue, espionage and death that gives players so many tools with which to accomplish their objectives. Besides the aforementioned episodes and a few bonus adventures, Hitman’s primary content is pretty much done and dusted. Or is it? Because IO Interactive is teasing something new for October 24.

Microsoft on the other hand, has the Xbox One X. A machine with beefy hardware that aims to deliver true 4K gaming on current and upcoming games. Due to tough new import laws, there was a worry that we’d only see the fancy new machine sometime in 2018. Well worry not, because we’ve just heard from Xbox South Africa that the Xbox One X will launch in time for Christmas.

Bungie has announced that Lord Saladin’s classic showcase of the immortals will begin on October 10 at 2AM PT/11AM CEST, with the 4v4 action focusing on Control matches. Here’s a look at the gear that Guardians will be playing for.
