Xbox Game Studios' State of Decay 2 is finally making its way Steam. No concrete release date has been provided yet, but the game is expected to launch early next year on the platform.The open-world zombie survival game, developed by Microsoft-owned Undead Labs, has received a plethora of DLC since its May 2018 launch on Xbox One. The latest, Heartland, came out during Microsoft's E3 2019 press conference and is billed as State of Decay 2's biggest expansion yet. The game's Steam store page currently makes no mention of whether this PC release will ship with all the game's DLC.It's worth noting that State of Decay 2 and its Heartland expansion are available through Xbox Game Pass. The game also supports cross-play between Windows 10 PC and Xbox One, though it's unclear if the feature will be supported when the game launches on Steam in early 2020.In our State of Decay 2 review, we said, "State of Decay 2 settles into a rhythm that might be easy for you to pass some hours with, but it’s never a ride with genuine surprises, excitement or purpose. There’s promise in so many systems that it introduces, but they’re woefully underutilized to make space for repetitive activities that are nowhere near as exciting to engage with. State of Decay 2 feels like the lumbering enemies that populate its country mountains. Aimless, wandering, and just out of place."State of Decay 2 Steam PC RequirementsMinimumRequires a 64-bit processor and operating systemOS: Windows 10 64-bitProcessor: Intel i5-2500 @2.7Ghz / AMD FX-6300Memory: 8 GB RAMGraphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2GB / AMD Radeon HD 7870DirectX: Version 11Storage: 30 GB available spaceRecommendedRequires a 64-bit processor and operating systemOS: Windows 10 64-bitProcessor: Intel i5 4570 @ 3.2Ghz / AMD FX-8350Memory: 16 GB RAMGraphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 4GB / AMD Radeon R9 380DirectX: Version 11Storage: 30 GB available spaceInfo from Gamespot.com

Thanksgiving is next week, which means it's time start to thinking about how you're going to shop around during Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2019. A number of stores and online retailers have already announced what they'll have on sale during the shopping holidays, and Ebay has its own share of great deals on games, consoles, and more.Ebay's Black Friday plans include a series of Black Friday "drops" every Friday at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET, from now through December 13. These include "a limited quantity of trending items," such as the Nintendo Switch and Bose headphones. The retailer will also be offering major deals on its Brand Outlet page, which features items from major brands like Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, and Nintendo. This week's drop was for an iPhone 11, but that one sold out fairly quickly.One deal Nintendo fans should take note of: You can get last week's drop, a Nintendo Switch Lite (turquoise) bundle with Pokemon Sword or Pokemon Shield, for $240. The Switch Lite normally sells for $200, and we don't expect any discounts on it for Black Friday, so if you're interested in both the console and the game, this is an excellent deal to jump on.Ebay Black Friday 2019 deals come with free shipping and the store's best price guarantee, which means you'll receive 110% of the price difference on eligible deals and top products if you find the same item for less on a competitor's website.

Just a week before Black Friday 2019 properly kicks off, Green Man Gaming has opened the floodgates early for some new deals on games like Borderlands 3, The Outer Worlds, and even Red Dead Redemption 2. As a part of its extended sale, the digital games retailer currently has well over 40 games up for sale right now, with much more coming in the days ahead.This sale features some recent releases, along with other games that have come out in the last few years. In addition to the three games mentioned above, GMG's sale also includes Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Grand Theft Auto V, Tropico 6, and Civilization VI. On November 26, a new batch of games, which includes Sekiro and Devil May Cry 5, will also be added into the sale.What's special about GMG's Black Friday sale is that certain purchases will also add in the Intel Starter Pack, allowing you to redeem an additional five free games from a select pool of titles. Some of these games include Resident Evil 7, Evil Within 2, Dishonored 2. The GMG sale also includes some great deals on gaming memberships and premium services. Any game purchased on Green Man Gaming can be redeemed on their respective digital distribution service. For instance, purchasing The Outer Worlds will give you a code that can be redeemed on the Epic Games Store, while Red Dead 2 will be playable on the Rockstar Games Launcher.This sale doesn't just focus on PC games, it also includes deals on gaming memberships to premium services. Notably, a 12-month PlayStation Plus membership is available for just $42.74, which is better than Sony's official PS Plus offer for Black Friday ($45). So if you're looking to top off your membership or try out a brand new service, then now is a pretty good time to dive in.The biggest game on this sale is easily Red Dead Redemption 2, which recently came out on PC. GameSpot editor Michael Higham recently did a deep-dive into the PC version, and he was quite impressed with how it turned out. "Red Dead Redemption 2 is a case where its visual prowess is inseparable from its identity, which the PC version delivers on, given the right specs and the overcoming of technical issues," he wrote.

One of the biggest new features in Pokemon Sword and Shield is the Wild Area, an open stretch of land that is home to all sorts of Pokemon and the new raids. If you're looking to complete your Pokedex, it's also where you'll be spending a lot of your time; you can find evolved forms of Pokemon out in the open here, for example. But the kinds of Pokemon you can encounter vary with the weather, which in turn varies throughout the Wild Area and changes every day. To make the most of the Wild Area, there are several things you need to know about how weather works.The Wild Area is broken up into different sections, which you can see on your map. The name of each zone will pop up as you enter it so you're always clear on where you are; if you're looking up a Pokemon's habitat in the Pokedex and it can be found in the Wild Area, the Dex will display the name of the section and what weather conditions you can find that Pokemon in. Different Pokemon will show up in different sections.The Pokemon you encounter throughout the Wild Area and in Max Raids change with the weather, and there are certain Pokemon you can find only in a specific type of weather. You can check the weather from anywhere at any time using your map.The effects of weather on Pokemon spawns are mostly logical. Harsh sunlight brings out more Fire-types, rain brings Water-type Pokemon, and snow brings the Ice-types. Water-, Electric-, and Dragon-type Pokemon spawn during thunderstorms. Some types of weather aren't available until you make progress in the story, such as fog, which isn't available until after you become Champion.Below is a list of the weather conditions and a description of the symbols that represent them in the map and Pokedex.Wild Area Weather Conditions And SymbolsRegular sun -- clearSun behind cloud -- cloudy (no in-battle effect)Raincloud -- rainCloud with lightning bolt -- thunderstorm (rain with electric terrain)Snowflake -- snow (hail)Snowflakes with wind -- snowstorm (hail)Sun with bullseye center -- harsh sunlightRocks with wind -- sandstormCloud with lines -- fog (misty terrain)In-Battle Weather EffectsThough there are many weather types in the Wild Area, there are only four possible types of weather conditions in battles. Weather can be activated by overworld conditions listed above, Pokemon's regular moves and abilities, and the secondary effects of Max Moves used by Dynamaxed Pokemon. Weather conditions typically last five turns if different from the overworld weather, though certain items can extend the duration. Below is a list of the in-battle weather types and a summary of their main effects.Harsh sunlight: increases damage from Fire-type moves and decreases damage from Water-type moves; Solar Beam charges instantly; Synthesis, Moonlight, and Morning Sun recover more health; all Pokemon are immune to freezing; activates certain abilitiesRain: increases damage from Water-type moves and decreases damage from Fire-type moves; Thunder and Hurricane hit consistently; weakens Solar Beam, Solar Blade, and light-based recovery moves; activates certain abilitiesHail: damages all Pokemon at the end of each turn (except Ice-types); enables Aurora Veil; Blizzard hits consistently; weakens Solar Beam, Solar Blade, and light-based recovery moves; activates certain abilitiesSandstorm: damages all Pokemon at the end of each turn (except Rock-, Steel-, and Ground-types); increases the special defense of Rock-type Pokemon; weakens Solar Beam, Solar Blade, and light-based recovery moves; activates certain abilitiesTerrain EffectsIntroduced in Sun and Moon, terrain is an additional in-battle effect that can occur alongside weather or on its own. Terrain can be activated by overworld conditions, Pokemon's moves and abilities, and the secondary effects of Max Moves used by Dynamaxed Pokemon. Terrain typically lasts five turns if different from the overworld conditions, though certain items can extend the duration. Note that all terrain types exclusively affect Pokemon that are on the ground (so Flying-types and Pokemon with the Levitate ability are unaffected). Below is a list of each and their effects.Electric: increases power of Electric-type moves used by Pokemon on the ground; Pokemon on the ground won't fall asleepPsychic: increases power of Psychic-type moves used by Pokemon on the ground; Pokemon on the ground can't be hit by moves with increased priorityMisty: decreases damage taken from Dragon-type moves; Pokemon on the ground can't be affected by paralysis, burn, poison, freezing, or sleepGrassy: increases power of Grass-type moves used by Pokemon on the ground; heals all Pokemon on the ground a bit each turn; decreases damage from Earthquake, Bulldoze, and MagnitudeInfo from Gamespot.com

Matt Reeves' new movie The Batman continues to add more villains to the mix. Reeves took to Twitter to announce that John Turturro (The Big Lebowski, O Brother Where Art Thou?) would be joining the cast as Carmine "The Roman" Falcone, an infamous gangster who first debuted in comics during the legendary Batman: Year One by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli.🦇 I said... #CarmineFalcone pic.twitter.com/wa5zNuVwPg — Matt Reeves (@mattreevesLA) November 22, 2019Tuturro is joining an already stacked cast including Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne, Collin Farrell as Osward "The Penguin" Cobblepott, Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle, and Paul Dano as Eddie "The Riddler" Nygma. Also recently confirmed was Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, one of the very few purely heroic characters in the mix thus far.In the comics, Falcone and his crime family have a complicated relationship with the Waynes that often puts a level of strain on Bruce's strict black-and-white moral code. He's often one of the most powerful--if not the most powerful--men in Gotham, secretly running the government from the shadows with a web of corrupt politicians and civil servants. In addition to Batman: Year One, Falcone and his family were central characters in Batman: The Long Halloween and its follow-up, Batman: Dark Victory, which expanded upon the Falcone legacy. However, it's too early to tell which, if any, of these stories Turturro's incarnation of the character will borrow from.The Batman hits theaters on June 25, 2021. Info from Gamespot.com

Pokemon Sword and Shield mark the eighth generation of Pokemon games, and they of course introduce new features and Pokemon to the series. One of the biggest additions is the Wild Area, an open-world stretch of land in which you and wild Pokemon can roam freely. It covers the space between the bottom part of the map and Motostoke and then extends up along the eastern side of Motostoke to Hammerlocke. This space is home to a wide variety of Pokemon that come and go with the weather, and you'll even encounter Pokemon so powerful that you won't be able to fight them at first.On top of that, the Wild Area is also home to the new Max Raids. These 4v1 battles pit you and three other players (or NPCs) against one Dynamaxed Pokemon, which is both enormous and extra powerful. They start out easy, but make no mistake--the high-level raids can be intensely challenging. Here's everything you need to know about Max Raids.Table of Contents [hide]Playing OnlineMax Raid BasicsMax Raid Battle TipsWishing Pieces And Triggering More RaidsRare Pokemon, Gigantamax Forms, And Purple Beams Of LightPlaying OnlineFirst things first--you can do raids solo with NPCs, but it's a lot easier with at least one other real person. By pressing Y and going to the social screen, you can connect to the internet and interact with other people online. From this screen, you can join other people's raids provided they're seeking help and there's still room. In order to invite others to your raid, you have to initiate a raid from a den and select "invite others," and other players can join both locally and online.Max Raid BasicsRaid Pokemon are separate from the powerful Pokemon you see walking around. You have to go up to a raid den to start a raid--you'll know a Pokemon is inside if there's a red or pinkish-purple beam of light shooting out of it. When you interact with the den, you'll see a screen showing the silhouette of the raid Pokemon and its type so you can prepare. Max Raids vary in challenge from one star to five stars, which will be indicated on this screen as well.In a Max Raid, four players fight one Dynamaxed (or Gigantamaxed) Pokemon. By virtue of being Dynamaxed, these Pokemon get boosts to their moves and stats, and they will often move twice in a row or put up shields. If you defeat the raid Pokemon, you get a chance to catch it. You can decide whether you want to do the raid solo (with three NPCs) or search for other players locally or online; each person only brings one Pokemon. The battle is over when 10 turns go by or Pokemon faint four times--a fainted Pokemon will automatically be revived after a turn, so it could be any combination of Pokemon fainting, even if it's the same Pokemon fainting multiple times.One Pokemon on your side is allowed to Dynamax during the raid. The player who initiated the raid has the opportunity to Dynamax first, but if they don't, the Dynamax power moves to the next person on the list (including NPCs) until someone uses it. While the raid Pokemon will be Dynamaxed the whole time, the Pokemon on your side will only remain Dynamaxed for three turns as normal.If you defeat the Pokemon, you have a chance to catch it. If you defeat it and fail to catch it due to bad luck, the Pokemon will be gone (though you still get all the other rewards, like berries and TRs); if you simply lose, you can try again from the same raid den. You can use a Wishing Piece, which you can find or buy from various Wild Area vendors using Watts, to trigger a raid even if the den is currently empty, though it may not even be the same species of Pokemon.Max Raid Battle TipsMax Raid battles themselves work mostly like normal battles. Each of the five Pokemon on the field will move according to their speed stat, though the raid Pokemon gets to cheat and use moves multiple times in a turn. After it's been damaged a bit, the raid Pokemon will put up a shield, which can take anywhere from two to six hits to break down; this shield blocks it from most damage and all status effects. A Max move from a Dynamaxed Pokemon on your side will take down two shield slots, though moves that hit multiple times, like Fury Swipes or Double Kick, will only break one shield slot.The raid Pokemon will occasionally nullify all stat changes on your side of the field, so powerup moves like Dragon Dance aren't recommended. Instead, super-effective attacks are your best bet, as strong ones will usually cause a bit of damage even through a shield. Breaking a shield will damage the Pokemon and lower its defenses, too, so you'll want to prioritize breaking the shield with standard attacks rather than using something like Helping Hand to power up an ally's moves.You're also better off using a move with middling damage over an all-out move that causes damage to the user, like Wild Charge. Staying alive is paramount, as four faints will get you tossed out of the raid den, so moves that heal allies, like Life Dew, can be helpful too--you can only use items from your bag to heal your own Pokemon.For especially tough raids, you should also take into account the raid Pokemon's stats--Turtonator, for example, has extremely high defense but much lower special defense (on average), so using special attacks can make all the difference.Wishing Pieces And Triggering More RaidsOnly a few dens in the Wild Area will be "active" at a time. If you want to trigger a raid encounter at an inactive den, you can throw a Wishing Piece in it to instantly spawn a raid Pokemon. You can buy Wishing Pieces from various vendors around the Wild Area--see our guide on Watts and where to spend them for more details.Each raid den has a set of Pokemon that can spawn there, and some only spawn during specific weather patterns. Wishing Pieces are useful for initiating a raid at a specific den, but if you just want more raids, you can also complete all the existing raids, at which point more will pop up throughout the Wild Area--and at least one should be a strong purple pillar of light, which signals a rare Pokemon.Rare Pokemon, Gigantamax Forms, And Purple Beams Of LightThe Pokemon you catch in raids are much likelier to have perfect stats and hidden abilities, and the likelihood goes up as the difficulty of the raid goes up. Every five-star raid Pokemon I've caught has had several perfect stats, and the maximum I've seen is five out of six perfect stats from a raid. You might also see a strong purple pillar of light instead of the usual red one; that means the raid Pokemon there is more likely to be a rare spawn, and there are some rare Pokemon you can only find in raids.At the five-star tier, you may also encounter Gigantamax Pokemon, which are individual Pokemon of select species that change forms when Dynamaxed. See our Gigantamax guide for more details on how to find these Pokemon.Info from Gamespot.com

Released in September, the game was largely well-received, offering a pretty satisfying return to the Borderlands universe. In GameSpot's Borderlands 3 review, editor Jordan Ramée described the game's strengths, stating; "The game's character-driven narrative acts as a satisfying finale for the loot-shooter franchise, and the new mechanics and features--especially the reworked skill trees and weapon manufacturer effects--give you plenty of agency in how you want to play through it."

After an E3 2018 brief reveal, indie studio 10 Chambers Collective has opened up about its upcoming Left 4 Dead-like cooperative shooter, GTFO. In a new trailer, the developers break down what you can expect when the game arrives on PC later this year.The game will feature "a new game concept" in something called the Rundown, a series of alternating objectives given to you by the game's antagonistic force, the Warden. Every time you log into GTFO, the Rundown will display a timer at the top, indicating the time left to complete the missions before they're swapped with a new set of orders after updating. The Rundown is divided into Tiers with increased difficulty, meaning each expedition gets tougher the deeper into the underground complex you go. Every objective is "crafted to challenge [the] community in interesting ways," 10 Chambers said.Each Rundown is different and, according to 10 Chambers, can feature expeditions that last "a week or two" or upwards of a couple of months. The Rundowns are "tailored to deliver a specific experience," 10 Chambers said.Elsewhere in the trailer, the studio announced it intends to "support and expand upon GTFO for a long time." 10 Chambers also confirmed the game will not include "subscription fees, pay-to-win solutions, or loot boxes."GTFO is expected to launch on Steam Early Access sometime this year. Though no release date has been provided, beta sign-ups are available now through the game's official website.Info from Gamespot.com

Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order is good news for Star Wars fans. The Respawn-helmed game, along with The Mandalorian on Disney Plus and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, form a powerful trio that could make 2019 one of the best in Star Wars history. Released on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on November 15, is fairly new, but you can get a deal on the game right now, if you're willing to get a console to along with it. That said, we'll likely see more discounts this coming Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so if a bundle isn't tempting and you're strapped for cash, it might be best to hold off for now.Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order is one of our top 2019 holiday gift recommendations; it also earned an 8/10 in our Jedi Fallen Order review. "Fallen Order becomes perhaps the strongest conception of what playing as a Jedi Knight ought to really be like," wrote Phil Hornshaw. "It's true that Fallen Order borrows liberally from other action games, but those elements work together with Respawn's combat and environment design, and a story that finds humanity in the Force and in its characters, to hone in on what makes the world of Star Wars worthy of revisiting again and again. Even with some rough edges, Fallen Order represents one of the most compelling game additions to the Star Wars franchise in years."Read on for the best Black Friday deals on Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order announced so far.Black Friday deals: Star Wars Jedi Fallen OrderGame dealsSo far, the best deal on Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order for PS4 or Xbox One was available around launch over at Ebay, where you could get a brand-new copy of the game with free shipping for $50 ($10 off). Unfortunately, that deal is sold out, and we haven't seen any other good discounts since the game's release. We're keeping an eye out for future discounts, however, and we'll be sure to update this article as soon as we see a good one. We expect a few places to have deals ready to go for Black Friday, including digital storefronts like Steam and the Epic Games Store.In the meantime, Epic is offering a free Imperial Stormtrooper outfit for Fortnite with any purchase of Jedi Fallen Order now through November 30, 2020.Console bundlesIf you're looking to pick up a new Xbox One along with Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, you have some excellent choices for Black Friday.

Hot off some strong first-party releases and a new hardware iteration, Black Friday 2019 looks to be another major sales time for the Nintendo Switch. The portable/console hybrid has seen some pretty great games this year, including Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Astral Chain, Luigi's Mansion 3, and Pokemon Sword and Shield, and the new Switch Lite has re-ignited sales of the console (tempting even current owners to pick up a second one). Whether you're looking for a deal on a Switch console or just hunting around for some Switch accessory deals, we've got you covered. We've rounded out the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals right here, with more info to come as stores announce all of their deals for the season.Let's break the disappointing news right out of the gate. Judging by the Black Friday ads we've seen so far, the Nintendo Switch won't be getting a nice discount or even a particularly amazing bundle this holiday season. Instead, Nintendo has provided retailers with the same Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Switch bundle from last Black Friday. And yes, it still includes the launch model Switch, not the updated Switch with better battery life that hit stores a few months back. While the Switch Lite is prominently featured in ads, so far it's just that: an ad for the $200 handheld-only Switch, with no discount to speak of.That doesn't mean there won't be great deals on Switch accessories, though. In fact, we've already seen countless accessories featured in the various Black Friday ads that Best Buy, Target, and Walmart have dropped, you can expect even more accessory deals as retailers like Amazon and GameStop release their Black Friday ads.

You get the Switch and an awesome game that regularly goes for around $50 these days. However, please note this isn't the updated Switch with better battery life; it's the launch model. If you love Mario Kart and aren't concerned about the longer battery life, this is a solid offer; otherwise, you may be better off just buying the newer model for the same price and waiting for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to go on sale. We're highlighting Best Buy's bundle here because the retailer is throwing in a screen protector, but expect this bundle to be available at most major retailers as it's an official Nintendo offer. Perhaps one smart retailer will throw in more than just a screen protector. See at Best Buy Nintendo Switch Kohl's bundle -- $300Nintendo Switch (new model) with carrying case and charging dock with $90 Kohl's Cash | $320 ($345)If you're not eager to grab Nintendo's official bundle, we know Kohl's will have its own bundle that does, in fact, feature the updated Switch with better battery life. For $320, you'll get the Switch, a carrying case ($20 value), and the popular PowerA Joy-Con Charging Dock ($25 value). The real draw here is that you'll get $90 Kohl's Cash to spend in the weeks following Black Friday. Nintendo Switch bundle with Crash Team Racing and Switch Online -- $305 Nintendo Switch (new model) with Crash Team Racing and 12-month Nintendo Switch Online family membership | $305 ($374)This might be the best Switch bundle this Black Friday. Google Shopping will bundle Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled and a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online family membership with the updated Switch with better battery life for $305. You're saving roughly $70 overall with this bundle. Google hasn't revealed when its Black Friday sale will begin, but we'll update this when more information is announced. Nintendo Switch Lite -- $175Nintendo Switch Lite | $175 ($200)Nintendo Switch Lite deals will be rare this Black Friday. In fact, the only one we've seen is from Google Shopping. But it will be a good one.

Thankfully, Switch Joy-Cons will be on sale for $53.60 at Amazon, besting Best Buy and Target's $60 price during Black Friday. It seems you'll be able to choose between neon red/blue or gray. See at Amazon PowerA wired Switch controllers -- $15PowerA wired controllers | $15 ($25)Like Joy-Cons, Switch Pro controllers are expensive, but there are some reasonable third-party options like PowerA's lineup of wired controllers. Using the same layout as the Pro controller but with a slightly smaller form factor, PowerA's wired controllers are pretty darn good and come in three awesome designs: Zelda, Mario, and a Pikachu-yellow Pokemon theme. All three will be discounted to $15 during Best Buy's Black Friday sale.

They don't support features like HD Rumble or NFC Amiibo scanning, but they do have two buttons on the back that can be mapped to a face button. This lets you keep your thumbs on the sticks while you're in the middle of the action. See at Walmart Poke Ball Plus -- $20Poke Ball Plus | $20 ($50)While the Poke Ball Plus initially launched as an alternative controller for Pokemon: Let's Go, it will also be compatible with Pokemon Sword and Shield, allowing you to "hold" one of your Pokemon and take it with you on the go (presumably to rack up experience points or earn extra items). However, it won't function as a controller for Pokemon Sword and Shield the same way it did for Pokemon: Let's Go. The Poke Ball Plus also comes with Mew, a mythical Pokemon that can be transferred into Pokemon: Let's Go. The accessory is normally $50, but most major retailers will have it for $20 during Black Friday.
