It's hard to believe, but 2018 is winding to a close. November is now underway, and while many of the year's biggest releases arrived back in October, there are still a number of major games in store for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Switch this month, from the latest entries in the Battlfield and Fallout franchises to the first pair of Pokemon RPGs for Nintendo's hybrid console.On top of all the new titles, a handful of notable re-releases are set to arrive this month as well, among them the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, which collects and remasters all of Spyro's PS1 adventures into one package. Blizzard's acclaimed dungeon crawler Diablo III also arrived on Switch, marking the developer's first release on a Nintendo system in over 15 years.That's only a small sample of the games coming out in November 2018. You can see all of the biggest releases on the way for each platform this month below. For a broader look at all of the other titles out this year, be sure to check out our complete list of game release dates in 2018.Spyro Reignited Trilogy (PS4, Xbox One) -- November 13Following the success of last year's Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy, Activision is dusting off another PlayStation 1 icon with the Spyro Reignited Trilogy. Developed by Skylanders studio Toys for Bob, the collection launches for PS4 and Xbox One on November 13 and features all three of Spyro's PS1 adventures--Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage, and Spyro: Year of the Dragon--all of which have received a significant audio and visual overhaul. The games also give you the option to choose between their new remastered soundtracks and the original ones if you ever get the urge to listen to the old tracks.Further reading:Spyro Reignited Trilogy Launch Trailer Lights It UpSpyro Reignited Trilogy Shows Why Remastering A Classic Isn't EasySpyro Reignited Trilogy Lets You Choose Between Original And Remastered SoundtracksFallout 76 (PS4, Xbox One, PC) -- November 14Fallout 76, the latest installment in Bethesda's post-apocalyptic RPG series, arrives on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on November 14, and it takes the traditionally single-player franchise into entirely new territory: multiplayer. Unlike previous games in the series, Fallout 76 is an online-only RPG with no NPCs; rather, every human character you come across as you explore the irradiated wastes of West Virginia is another player, and your best hope for gathering resources and surviving against the hulking mutant creatures roaming about is to band together with others, making for a very different kind of RPG than the series is known for.Further reading:Fallout 76 Final Beta Dates And Times AnnouncedFallout 76 Is Filled With Other People, But It's A Lonely, Dead WorldHow Long Will Fallout 76 Servers Be Online?

A reimagining of the classic Pokemon Yellow version for Game Boy, the Let's Go titles take players back to the Kanto region, where they'll face off against new and familiar trainers on a quest to capture the original 151 Pokemon and become Pokemon League Champion. The games also diverge in some dramatic ways, most notably by incorporating the capture mechanics from Pokemon Go and introducing new attacks, as well as an entirely new Mythical Pokemon named Meltan.Further reading:How Let's Go Pikachu / Eevee Update Pokemon Yellow For A New GenerationPokemon: Let's Go Pikachu / Eevee Make Some Welcome Changes, But Also Some Concerning OnesLet's Go Pikachu / Eevee's Big Challenge: Master TrainersBattlefield V (PS4, Xbox One, PC) -- November 20EA's Battlefield series returns to the conflicts of World War II with its latest installment, Battlefield V.

That includes new War Story missions and the battle royale-style Firestorm mode, in which 64 players divided into teams of four vie to be the last one standing on an ever-shrinking battlefield.

When transferring your Pokemon from Pokemon Go to Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu / Let's Go Eevee, make sure you don't do anything to interrupt the process, says Nintendo. Interrupting the transfer could result in you losing some of your Pokemon from Pokemon Go.To make sure the process isn't interrupted, Nintendo highlighted some best practices on its support site. When you decide to start moving your Pokemon from Go over into Let's Go, make sure to avoid clicking the home or power button on your Switch. You also don't want to press the home button, turn off Bluetooth, or suspend the Pokemon Go app on your mobile device. Nintendo also advises keeping your mobile device and Switch console close together during the process to ensure a smooth transition.Following this advice should prevent any problems when you transfer your Pokemon. If you notice that your transfer has somehow paused itself or did not completely move all your Pokemon over, Nintendo advises you turn off the Pokemon Go app and uninstall it. After reinstalling the game, you should be able to resume the transfer again. However, any Pokemon that were in between your mobile device and Switch may be lost for good, "as uninstalling and reinstalling the app would cause the transfer process to be stuck in limbo."If you're having trouble transferring any of your Pokemon from Go to Let's Go--including the Pokemon Go exclusive Meltan--check out our guide. For even more Let's Go tips, check out our list of 9 things you should know before starting and our guide to getting Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle.In our Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu / Let's Go, Eevee review, Jake Dekker gave the two games an 8/10, writing, "...Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee are delightful reimaginings of the series' origins and a deep RPG in their own right. It makes a lot of smart improvements on the original Red, Blue and Yellow while holding on to what made them so special in the first place."Info from Gamespot.com

Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee are now available onSwitch, marking the series' proper debut on Nintendo's hybrid console. While not direct remakes of the classic Pokemon Yellow version, the pair follow its template very closely, featuring the same setting, story beats, and the original 151 Pokemon (plus their Alolan variants, which could be acquired either from certain NPCs or by transferring them over from Pokemon Go).Despite their many similarities to Yellow, Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee do introduce some new elements to the series--most notably Meltan, a brand-new Mythical Pokemon that hasn't appeared in any previous mainline Pokemon game. Fittingly for a Mythical Pokemon, Meltan can't be acquired through normal means, so we've put together a guide explaining just how you can add it and its evolved form, Melmetal, to your collection.How To Catch MeltanThe key to getting a Meltan in Let's Go involves connecting the games to Pokemon Go. As previously mentioned, you can link the mobile title to Let's Go via Bluetooth and transfer any Gen 1 Pokemon you've captured there over to the Switch games. The Pokemon you've transferred will then appear in the Go Park, a new facility that replaces the Safari Zone in Fuchsia City. See our full guide to connecting Go and Let's Go for more details.To begin a transfer, simply speak to the receptionist at the front desk of the Go Park and follow the on-screen prompts. This is a one-way process; any Pokemon you send from Go to Let's Go can't be returned to the mobile game. However, you'll need to complete at least one transfer in order to catch Meltan, as sending a Pokemon to Let's Go will reward you with a special item in Go: the Mystery Box.The Mystery Box is the key to summoning Meltan in Pokemon Go. Once opened, the Mythical Pokemon will begin appearing in the wild for a limited time, and you'll be able to capture it just as you would any other monster. However, you'll need to act quickly to catch as many as you can; the Mystery Box only remains open for 30 minutes, and you'll need to wait a full seven days before you can activate it again by transferring another Pokemon.While you can typically only transfer the original 151 Pokemon, Meltan is the sole exception. Once you've managed to catch one in Go, you'll be able to send it over to the Let's Go titles the same way you would any Gen 1 Pokemon. You'll then be able to recapture it in the Go Park to add it to your team.At the moment, this is the only way to obtain Meltan in either Go or Let's Go. You won't be able to find it in the wild in the Switch games, so if you're hoping to add one to your collection, you'll need to link the two titles together. However, The Pokemon Company has teased that a new Special Research questline revolving around Meltan will be available for Pokemon Go players sometime this winter, suggesting there will be other ways to acquire it in the future.Meltan is a pure Steel-type Pokemon that stands at eight inches tall, making it one of the smallest monsters in the Pokemon universe. While it may not look particularly intimidating, it does have a notable distinction: Meltan is the first Mythical Pokemon capable of evolving, and it's able to grow into a hulking monster called Melmetal.How To Evolve MeltanAs before, Pokemon Go is the key to obtaining Melmetal. In order to evolve Meltan, you'll need to feed it enough Candy in Go, just as you would evolve most other Pokemon in the mobile game. These are acquired each time you catch a Meltan or send one to Professor Willow, but be warned: you're going to need to capture a lot of Meltans if you're hoping to get its evolution, as the Mythical Pokemon requires a whopping 400 Candies to evolve.Given how long it takes to reopen the Mystery Box, amassing enough Candy to evolve Meltan is a daunting prospect. Fortunately, if you've stocked up on Rare Candies, you'll be able to use them to expedite the process. You can also feed Pinap Berries to Meltan during the capture phase, which will increase the number of Candies you receive if you successfully catch it. Once you've evolved Meltan, you can transfer your Melmetal to the Let's Go games and recapture it in the Go Park.Just as its base form, Melmetal is a pure Steel-type Pokemon. According to the series' lore, it was worshiped in ancient times because of its ability to create metal. It is also capable of learning a brand-new move called Double Iron Bash, a two-hit Steel-type attack that can make the opposing Pokemon flinch.Despite being more welcoming than other entries in the series, Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee are deeper than they may initially appear. Before you embark on your journey, be sure to check out our nine tips you should know. We've also put together a guide on how to get Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle in the Switch games.

The latest pair of Pokemon adventures, Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee, are now available for Nintendo Switch. Among other things, the new games feature connectivity with Pokemon Go, allowing you to transfer over certain monsters from the mobile title. In fact, doing this is quickest way to unlock the new Mythical Pokemon Meltan, but even if you don't own either of the Switch games, you'll have a way to get the new Hex Nut Pokemon in Go.A new Special Research questline centering around Meltan is now live. By completing the missions assigned by Professor Willow, you'll be able to encounter the new Mythical Pokemon in Pokemon Go, even without connecting it to either of the Let's Go titles. The new questline arrived much earlier than anticipated; The Pokemon Company had previously teased that Special Research related to Meltan would be available this "winter," although it hadn't provided a time frame.In addition to the new Special Research, Niantic is rolling out a few more special events to commemorate the launch of Pokemon: Let's Go. First, you'll be able to collect new Field Research tasks focusing on Gen 1 Pokemon at PokeStops from now until November 27. Niantic says these tasks feature monsters "not commonly found" in either of the Let's Go games, such as Kabuto and Omanyte, giving you a good incentive to catch and transfer them over.On top of that, new Raid Battles are slated to arrive in Go from November 23-26. During this time frame, you'll be able to encounter certain Eevee evolutions--Flareon, Jolteon, Vaporeon, Espeon, and Umbreon--as Raid Bosses. Raichu and Alolan Raichu will appear as Raid Bosses more commonly during this period as well.Unlike other Mythical Pokemon, Meltan is capable of evolving. Its second form is known as Melmetal, and it can learn an exclusive Steel-type attack called Double Iron Bash. Be sure to check out our guide on how to get Meltan and Melmetal. We've also put together nine tips to know before starting Pokemon: Let's Go and a guide on how to catch Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. Info from Gamespot.com

You might have already gotten yourself a new Exotic this week in Destiny 2. The weekly reset saw the completion of the Murder Mystery quest, whose final prize was the Destiny 1 fan-favorite Exotic machine gun Thunderlord. That was a pretty good prize, but if you need more Exotics--and who doesn't--Xur is back this weekend to quench your thirst for golden loot.This week, Xur is camped out on Titan. You'll find him on The Rig east of the location where you spawn in, toward the center of the northern edge of the area. Run to the far side of the area and when you come out from the covered portion, turn drop down and turn left. Xur is in the small square building waiting there.As always, Xur's bag of Exotics includes one weapon and one piece of armor for each of the three classes, specifically from Destiny 2's Year One batch. The weapon this week is Coldheart, a powerful trace rifle laser beam that was previously a preorder bonus for Destiny 2. Its Cold Fusion perk give it a steady beam, and the Longest Winter perk mean it does more and more damage the longer you hold the beam on your target.Knucklehead Radar is a favorite for Hunters--the helmet maintains your radar even when you're aiming down sights, which makes it great for the Crucible. Warlocks get Aeon Soul, which grant additional class ability energy to teammates when you use your own class ability, with the gains increased when more people on your Fireteam are also wearing Aeon Exotics. Finally, the Titan helmet An Insurmountable Skullfort start health regeneration when you kill enemies with Arc melee abilities, while also recharging your melee energy.Coldheart (Exotic trace rifle) -- 29 Legendary ShardsAeon Soul (Exotic Warlock gauntlets) -- 23 Legendary ShardsKnucklehead Radar (Exotic Hunter helmet) -- 23 Legendary ShardsAn Insurmountable Skullfort (Exotic Titan helmet) -- 23 Legendary ShardsAlongside the items above you can purchase directly, you can also shell out Legendary shards for Xur's Fated Engram. This engram is guaranteed to decrypt into a Year One Exotic you don't already own, making it a good way to fill out your collection if you find Xur's offerings lacking--provided you can afford it. Make sure you buy it on the character whose class you want the Exotic to match.Apart from finally taming Thunderlord (here's how if you haven't yet), you should be seeing Exotic drops in the world of Destiny 2 carry fewer duplicates. That's because of Bungie's last big update to the game, which weighted Exotics you don't own higher than ones you do for random drops in the world. Duplicates will still drop, but they should come less often. Bungie also has weighted armor duplicates over weapon duplicates, so if you do get an Exotic you already have, it'll be more likely to be a piece of armor with random perks, which might still be useful. Weapons don't carry random perks, so you can disassemble those dupes.There's also great non-Exotic loot to be grabbed this week in the Iron Banner. If you still need to earn Triumphs and Iron Banner armor and weapons from the event, best to get in there--Bungie has said that Season 4 is coming to an end at the end of November, which means your chances for this batch of Iron Banner stuff will end with it. Though Season 4 is ending, the start of Season 5 (known as the Season of the Forge) means another batch of new content as part of Destiny 2's overall Year Two plan. The next expansion piece is called Black Armory, and its due to drop on December 4. It'll come with new Year Two Exotics, as well as other new gear, a new Raid lair, and a new activity.Info from Gamespot.com

Hitman 2 is out now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The game's first Elusive Target, the first part of IO's free post-launch support plans, releases next week and features actor Sean Bean as an MI5 agent gone rogue named Mark Faba. Read on for our full review, originally published on November 8.Hitman is a game about killing people. Well, killing specific people and trying not to kill other people unless you really have to. But it's also a game about exploring large, real-world-inspired spaces, learning about how they operate, finding multiple solutions to problems, and using that knowledge to improvise and manipulate the environment to hit the people you're hunting. The episodic nature of the Hitman refresh in 2016 saw IO Interactive release one level every month--a contentious move at the time, but one that helped accentuate the potential in each mission. Hitman 2 ditches the episodic model and adds a few new minor mechanics, but the loop of continuously replaying a single location, slowly uncovering the wealth of possibilities, and being able to effectively draw upon that knowledge in new challenges is where Hitman is strongest.Hitman 2 takes you to six new locales, and each poses unique situations to overcome as you attempt to assassinate your targets. Mumbai is a standout with its densely populated streets and labyrinths of tenement buildings--a great environment that makes the most of a new Assassin's Creed-style crowd blending mechanic, allowing you to disappear into big groups of people. A mission in Miami, Florida takes place at an active raceway, a loud and vibrant stage that feels like a theme park with its swaths of attendees, distinct zones, and a concealed backstage underbelly.These levels are overwhelming in the best way possible, and it's exciting to begin peeling away the layers of these large, intricate areas--exploring the spaces, discovering routes, finding tools and disguises, and figuring out the best places to utilize them. If you're familiar with Hitman, you know that each stage and its AI inhabitants run on routines like clockwork, making Hitman a game that rewards social stealth and patience. Eavesdropping, tailing, and passive observation are good first steps to success. Even the Whittleton Creek stage, a small, sparsely populated suburban block in Vermont, feels like a mindmap of interconnected causality when you begin to dig deeper. Having the curiosity to uncover how things operate within levels, stumbling upon minor plotlines and amusing flavor dialog along the way, is interesting in its own right.Hitman does make an upfront effort to help focus your scope and give you some momentum toward your objectives, though thankfully your initiative is still necessary to solve some predicaments. Stumbling across a Mission Story (previously known as Opportunities) might lead you to a machine you can sabotage, for example, but you need to find the tool to do so and work out the best method of either distracting or dispatching the people around it.Mission Stories are a great first step, but Hitman becomes its best when you start to internalize the stages and uncover the more obscure ways things can unfold in subsequent playthroughs, be it through pursuing alternative Mission Stories, Challenges that ask you to perform specific tasks, or your own improvisation. There are few fail states other than your own death, and there are so many approaches and tools at your disposal that the path to victory can be as creative and elegant or as bumbling and messy as it needs to be. Completing a stage typically takes a long time, and there will be plenty of moments when a guard catches you doing something you shouldn't be doing and calls for backup. Unhinged gunfights still feel as futile as ever, but when things get out of control there's almost always the opportunity to escape to a less hostile part of the level, swap your disguises, and come up with an alternative "make do" approach. In fact, Hitman is sometimes more exciting when your initial plans fail.The only problem with being presented with such a staggering array of interactions is that the limitations of the sandbox will eventually reveal themselves if you push the wrong way. For example, while you can stash bodies in dumpsters and closets, I was disappointed to discover I couldn't stash them in one of many vacant portable toilets. While Agent 47 can leap tall fences and shimmy across daringly high ledges, he seemingly can't muster the courage to drop down from certain first-floor balconies. Guard AI behavior is stern but generous--if you're found trespassing in a restricted area they'll give you a chance to find the exit before reacting, but sometimes it's too generous. I was amused to see a target's personal bodyguard decide to go home for the day after his employer "accidentally" fell off a building, even though I was the only other person in the room.Hitman 2 continues to embrace a trial-and-error playstyle in its campaign. The levels are long, but autosaves are generous and manual saving is encouraged, which gives you the freedom to experiment with different ways of approaching a problem. And the closer you get to bending the systems in just the right way--trying to narrowly squeeze past a guard's sightline from different directions, or using coins and cheeseburgers to divert someone's attention--the more thrilling it feels, no matter how goofy it actually looks. Hitman 2's interstitial cinematics are as grim and dramatic as a British espionage drama, and it's hard not to let yourself buy into the clinical overarching conspiracy. But in the field, the series' tongue-in-cheek absurdity happily remains with ridiculous costumes, unlikely weapons, and Agent 47's self-aware deadpan acting, which perfectly accompanies any bumbling improvisation. Both exist distinctly, don't really compliment or detract one another, but are still enjoyable in their own right.Hitman 2 also boasts a few significant modes outside of its campaign, including Sniper Assassin, which adapts the design seen in the Hitman: Sniper smartphone game and tasks you with taking out a series of targets from a single vantage point using only a scoped rifle. It's a straightforward but enjoyable, low-stakes mode that allows for a surprising amount of creative freedom, and it can be played in two-player online co-op. But Hitman 2's most enticing bonus, at least if you own the previous Hitman, is the ability to download the original stages into Hitman 2, which gives you feature-complete versions of them with the addition of new mechanics like functional mirrors (which enemies can spot you in) and the briefcase (which lets you conceal and transport tools discreetly), among other things. These legacy stages are wonderful to revisit under a new light.It should also be mentioned that one of the most compelling elements of the 2016 Hitman was the continuous, free live content updates that occurred after the game's launch. Escalation Missions, where you're given specific conditional challenges of increasing difficulty, and Elusive Targets, limited-time events where you have only one chance to take out unique assassination targets, added tense trials that tested both your knowledge of levels and improvisational skills. IO Interactive has announced that these familiar features will be making a return, along with free content updates to Sniper Assassin and Ghost Mode. We obviously can't judge the quality of this content at launch, but it's surely something to look forward to.The addition of other minor mechanical changes--like concussive weapons, a picture-in-picture enemy activity alert, and visible security camera sightlines--help to improve Hitman 2 overall as a dense and accessible stealth assassination game. But the new locations are the real stars, impressive and inventive sandboxes ripe for picking apart with exciting experiments. Hitman is about experiencing the anticipation of seeing whether a plan will work when you try it for the first time. It's about feeling the tension of briskly walking away from a bad situation, hoping you can lose the suspicious guards. It's the satisfaction of knowing the machinations of a level so well that when a target moves into a particular place at a particular time, you have the perfect way to intervene. Hitman 2 is a familiar experience, but in the Hitman world, familiarity is an incredible strength. Info from Gamespot.com

Video games are on the menu when it comes to Best Buy during Black Friday 2018.

In advance of that, Best Buy has a pre-Black Friday sale going on now through Saturday, November 17 that includes some games (such as God of War), albeit not for as cheap as they'll be once the real sale begins.Once next week's sale begins, there will be a ton of PS4, Xbox One, and Switch games, along with hardware and accessories. Best Buy's console deals are limited in number, but they present a good way to pick up any of the big systems. Many of them are similar to what you'll find at other stores, but it does have what might be the best deal on an Xbox One X. For $430, you get a special-edition Xbox One X that's bundled with November's Battlefield V, plus a second controller.Those looking for a PS4 can get one bundled with Marvel's Spider-Man, which just released in September, for $200. $200 can also get you an Xbox One S Minecraft bundle. If you're in the market for a Nintendo Switch, you'll get the same offer at places like Target, which is a $300 bundle (the standard price of the system) that includes Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.The bulk of the gaming offers are on specific games.

Black Friday 2018 is going to be the ideal opportunity to grab yourself some video games that you can play with family and friends throughout the holiday season. Sports games are always a great way to pass some time, settle existing feuds, or start new ones, and if you're a fan of basketball, NBA 2K19 is probably something you'll want to consider grabbing.It seems that most retailers have reached the same discount price for NBA 2K19, with the game available for $30 at Best Buy, Target, and Walmart across both their PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions. You can find links to them below.In GameSpot's NBA 2K19 review, Michael Higham said the "core NBA 2K mechanics are challenging and rewarding" and that it offers a variety of game modes to enjoy. "If you want to immerse yourself in the sport and culture, NBA 2K19 has you covered with a breadth of content," he continued. "But even that has its limitations after several years of iterations. Although those willing to grind for everything will eventually get rewarded, the system of VC still comes off as exploitative. But there's a lot of fun to be had in NBA 2K19 despite its flaws, especially if you have a strong love for the sport."NBA 2K19 dishes out what you'd expect from the franchise: accessible yet deep core mechanics that often work just right and occasionally falter. Beyond that, there’s a full roster of ways to enjoy the sport thanks to a robust package of game modes."NBA 2K19$30 - Best Buy (PS4, Xbox One)$30 - Target (PS4, Xbox One)$30 - Walmart (PS4, Xbox One)$30 - Xbox Store [digital]If you'd like to see more of the deals that Best Buy, Target, and Walmart have on offer, check out our full Black Friday 2018 roundup. Along with video game hardware and software, you'll also find some of the noteworthy discounts on TV sets and other entertainment equipment that we've seen in the lead up to Black Friday.Info from Gamespot.com

Black Friday 2018 is set to officially kick off on November 23 but retailers are getting people primed to spend their hard-earned cash by revealing their ads early. For those looking to drop some dollars on new entertainment hardware, games, or pretty much anything else, this is actually pretty helpful as you can compare prices to find the best deals ahead of time.Walmart's Black Friday ad is already available, and you can also get an early peek at Best Buy's and Target's too. Now, Sam's Club has also unveiled its ad a little early, and we've gone through to pick out everything that may be of interest to anyone that loves to park themselves in front of a screen to enjoy a movie, game, or TV show.As noted on the Sam's Club website, customers will need to return on November 22 for more event pricing, and many of the deals visible in the advert now may not be available until that date too. For someone looking to do a complete overhaul of their setup--and has a lot of cash to work with--the retailer is offering a 75" Samsung 4K TV along with an Xbox One S (1TB) for $2,280.In terms of console specific deals, you can get the PlayStation 4 1TB with Insomniac Games' Spider-Man for $199. It's worth keeping in mind that this is the slim version of the PS4, and not the more powerful PlayStation 4 Pro. If you're in the market for an Xbox One, the S model is available as part of the Minecraft Creators bundle for $199. Again, if you want the most powerful Xbox One on the market, you'll need to seek out deals on the Xbox One X instead.TVsSamsung 75" Class 4k (2160p) and Xbox One S (1TB) Game Pass -- $2,278.00VIZIO D-Series™ 65” Class 4K HDR Smart TV -- $679LG 70" Class 4K HDR Smart LED AI UHD TV w/ThinQ -- $969LG 86" Class 4K UHD HDR Smart LED TV -- $2,499VIZIO M-Series 55" Class 4K Ultra HD HDR Smart TV -- $599LG 43" Class 4K HDR Smart LED UHD TV -- $379ConsolesPlayStation 4 1TB Console with Marvel’s Spider-Man Bundle -- $199Xbox One S Minecraft Creators Bundle 1TB -- $199AccessoriesRespawn-110 Racing Style Gaming Chair -- $140Info from Gamespot.com

The deals for Black Friday 2018 keep coming in. We've gotten a glimpse of the upcoming sales that are planned for next week's big retail event on November 23. While it's still a ways out, you can still scope out any sales of interest to plan ahead. One of which we've highlighted here is for WWE 2K19 for PS4 and Xbox One.In various ads that the big retailers have released, including Best Buy, Target, and Walmart, we saw deals for games including God of War, PUBG, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. WWE 2K19 will also see a pretty significant discount during the retail event, going on sale for $30 across both platforms. However, Best Buy in particular is going the extra mile and will offer the game's season pass on both PS4 and Xbox One for $24 during Black Friday.Much like previous entries, WWE 2K19 brings together the roster of wrestling superstars to compete in exhibition matches and main events. In addition to the current roster of wresters, including Roman Reigns, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, and Alexa Bliss, players will also be able to create their own crew of wrestlers with the game's in-depth create-a-wrestler--which can produce some surprising results. If you own the season pass, you'll be able to get instant access to new wrestlers from NXT and 205Live, such as Candice LeRae and Dakota Kai.In our review of WWE 2K19, Richard Wakeling stated: "Despite its flaws, WWE 2K19 is a step in the right direction for the long-running series. After two years toiling away with a dearth of interesting single-player content, the introduction of an engaging career mode is a welcome sight that finally captures some of the personality pro wrestling is partly built upon. The in-ring action is still inconsistent and will be as divisive as ever, but it's easier to stomach when the game surrounding the wrestling action gives you more reasons to play. WWE 2K19 might not reach the lofty heights of wrestling video gaming's heyday--or maybe that's just the nostalgia talking--but it's 2K's best effort so far. Maybe next year we'll be on to a true title contender."So far, these are the only deals for WWE 2K19 that we've found so far. However, there's still plenty of other sales and things to keep an eye on in the meantime. While these deals aren't active yet, looking through our roundups of the discounts will allow you to plan ahead and see what catches your interest ahead of the bid day.

Black Friday 2018 is almost here, and we're now seeing more games that will eventually be on sale during the big retail rush. With the release of Fallout 76, the series' first attempt as an online multiplayer action-RPG, it should come as no surprise that its predecessor will see some action during the upcoming Black Friday sale. On November 23, you can expect to see Fallout 4: Game Of The Year Edition on PC, PS4, and Xbox One go on sale.In addition to sales for Assassin's Creed Odyssey, SoulCalibur VI, and God of War, Fallout 4 is one of many games that you can find during the Black Friday 2018 sale. As of this time, these discounts aren't active yet, but this will give you plenty of time to plan ahead of the big November 23 retail event.For now, we've spotted discounts for Fallout 4: Game Of The Year Edition on Best Buy, Target, and Walmart--ranging from $25 to $30 for the Black Friday sale. In addition to the GOTY release, the base version of Fallout 4 is also on sale at Target for the low price of $12, making it a solid deal for anyone looking to get into the game for cheap.Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition is a collection of all the released content from the game, which includes major expansions Far Harbor and Nuka World. Much other Bethesda titles, Fallout 4 focused on allowing players to create their own story within an open world. Set in post-apocalyptic Boston, you play as the Lone Survivor of Vault 111, who must find his son after being in suspended animation for more than 200 years. In typical Fallout fashion, you'll explore a setting that shows off shades of 1950's sci-fi--post nuclear--and acquire a set of weapons that can vaporize or blow your enemies to pieces. Over the course of your adventure, you'll level up and make important decisions about which characters you should align with or go against.In our review of Fallout 4 back in 2015, managing editor Peter Brown stated: "In the grand scheme of things, Fallout 4's minor issues pale in comparison to its successes. When you put the controller down, you think about the friend you betrayed to benefit another, the shifting tide of an incredible battle, or the moment you opened a drawer and found someone's discarded effects, making you wonder how they felt before the bombs fell. In moments like these, Fallout 4 can be an intoxicating experience. You're often forced to sacrifice something--a relationship, a lucrative opportunity, or your health--to make gains elsewhere. And the deeper down the rabbit hole you go, the more you wonder: what if I chose a different path? You second guess yourself, not just because you had other options, but because you aren't sure if you did the right thing. The fact that your decisions stick with you after walking away from the game is a testament to the great storytelling on hand. Fallout 4 is an argument for substance over style, and an excellent addition to the revered open-world series."This deal is just one of many happening on Black Friday 2018. For now, be sure to keep track of the our round up for upcoming sales on our unique posts for each major retailer.

If you've been keeping track of our coverage ahead of Black Friday 2018, then you know there's plenty of deals to keep an eye on. We've got another tip for those looking to give Destiny 2 a chance, and after the recent Forsaken expansion, now is the best time to jump into Bungie's online shooter. At the beginning of sale, you can expect to find the Destiny 2: Forsaken Collection on discount from major retailers.During Black Friday 2018, you'll be able to find several games with solid discounts from several outlets including Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. These titles include Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. While you can see what will be able on sale once the retailer event begins, you won't be able to act on them at this time. For now, it's a good way to plan ahead and focus on what games and consoles you'll want to buy. With Destiny 2: Forsaken Legendary Collection, on sale for $30-35, you'll be able to get the entire package of the game, which including all previous expansions.Bungie's online game has seen a number of updates during its first year, and the recent Forsaken expansion is where it finally hit its stride. In addition to a brand new story where you'll have to exact revenge for the death of Cayde-6, you'll be able to acquire a new set of powers and gear for your character, while also exploring an entirely new setting in the form of the Dreaming City. Destiny 2: Forsaken has also increased the amount of weekly events you can take part in. Instead of the standard bounties and repeats of previous missions, unexpected encounters and new story events happen in much greater frequency--gradually expanding the universe. Recently, Destiny 2 saw the return of the exotic Thunderlord machine-gun, one of the more powerful weapons from Destiny 1.In GameSpot's Destiny 2: Forsaken review, reviews editor Kallie Plagge stated: "There is a lot to do in Forsaken, so much so that it can be difficult to see it all. That also means that, for the average player, this expansion has a much longer tail than previous iterations of Destiny 2. The variety and flexibility of activities established in the base game still work to make grinding a good time, and Gambit adds a consistently entertaining mode to the roster. The endgame, while difficult to reach, is also where the most satisfaction can be found."There's still plenty more deals to see with Black Friday 2018 on the horizon. At this time, deals won't be active until the sales kicks off, so make a note of which ones strike your fancy.

Microsoft executive vice-president of gaming Phil Spencer has teased that Xbox has "a lot to share" at E3 2019. Spencer tweeted about the event moments after Sony announced it would not be attending E3 next year."A lot to share with fans at E3 2019. Always a high point of the year to witness the industry's creativity and the energy of the community," Spencer tweeted. An hour later, Xbox followed up by tweeting out to fans that the company "can't wait" to see everyone at E3 2019. Although the company has not confirmed it, one of the announcements that Xbox is looking to share could be the new console teased at E3 2018.Xbox may be presenting at a different time for E3 2019 as well. Xbox business lead for Asia Jeremy Hinton tweeted that Microsoft would be moving its presentation time in consideration of Australian viewers. We've reached out to Microsoft to confirm, as well as whether the company intends to have its E3 presentation outside the event hall, like this past year.The absence of Sony from E3 2019 will be the first time the company won't be attending the event since E3 was founded. Sony has shared the spotlight at E3 with both Microsoft and Nintendo for a number of years, so it's a fairly big surprise to see the company willingly sit out. The first details that Sony wouldn't be in attendance were announced via the ESA. Sony followed-up with a confirmation."As the industry evolves, Sony Interactive Entertainment continues to look for inventive opportunities to engage the community," the company said in a statement to GameSpot. "PlayStation fans mean the world to us and we always want to innovate, think differently and experiment with new ways to delight gamers. As a result, we have decided not to participate in E3 in 2019. We are exploring new and familiar ways to engage our community in 2019 and can't wait to share our plans with you."Info from Gamespot.com

As you play Red Dead Redemption 2, you'll start to see notifications informing you that you've completed a challenge. Now this all sounds fine and dandy, but you're likely asking yourself: "What does completing challenges do? Heck, why should I even bother completing them?" That's a fair question, and we're here to answer it.Challenges are gameplay feats you complete to earn XP and unlock upgraded equipment for purchase at your local trapper, such as new Gun Belts, Bandoliers, Holsters, and Off-Hand Holsters. Each piece posses its own perks that increase either ammo capacity or decrease weapon degradation rate. Equipping them even improves your general statistics, but more on that in a second. There are nine challenge categories in total, each with ten feats to complete. As you'd expect, the feats vary per category. For example, the Bandit challenges has you working to hold up townsfolk, steal wagons, and amass a sizable bounty, while the Explorer challenges focus on you finding treasure. It's important to note that you must complete challenges in sequential order, so you can't just prioritize completing the seventh challenge over the first few only because it's easier.Completing challenges is a worthwhile endeavor, as the equipment you unlock offer bonus bars around your Health, Stamina, and Dead Eye Cores when you complete the set. You are rewarded an extra bar when you complete one of the three sets associated with that statistic. And you unlock an additional bar to that statistic once you've acquired all three sets associated with it. The table below contains details on which equipment set is associated with which attribute.AttributeEquipment SetHealthHorsemanSharpshooterWeapons ExpertStaminaBanditGamblerMaster HunterDead EyeExplorerHerbalistSurvivalistThere's even an extra bonus in store for you upon completing all 90 challenges. You unlock a special outfit called "Legend of the East," which provides hefty bonuses to Arthur's statistics. If that's something you're aspiring towards, you're in luck as we've compiled every single challenge in the game for your reference, so get crackin'!BanditChallengeDescriptionRewardBandit 1Hold up
