Each month, all those with a Humble Choice membership are able to get their hands on 8 or so titles as part of the company’s Choice subscription service. For November, members can look forward to a decent variety of titles, including Etrian Odyssey HD; Another Crab’s Treasure and more.

Available to add to your library from now until the end of the month, November’s Humble Choice line-up features the following:

• Etrian Odyssey HD
• No More Heroes 3
• Another Crab Treasure
• Total War: Warhammer 3
• Pharaoh: A New Era
• Synergy
• Spin Hero
• Paleo Pines

Though far from Humble’s best month, you’re still getting a solid selection of varied titles for £11.49, with the likes of Another Crab’s Treasure being a surprisingly excellent souls-like in which you play as a crab “on a treasure hunt to buy back his repossessed shell.”

No More Heroes 3 meanwhile is the latest entry in the wacky series from known game director Suda51 and Grasshopper Manufacture; starring ‘The otaku assassin’ Travis Touchdown in an experience described as “stylish, ridiculous, and a blast” for fans of the unique director.

As always, a portion of your subscription’s proceedings will go towards charity, with this month’s being ‘No Kid Hungry’ – a group “working to end childhood hunger by helping launch and improve programs that give all kids the healthy food they need to thrive.”

KitGuru says: What do you think of this month’s offerings? Is it worth the subscription price? Has Humble justified Choice’s price hike yet? Let us know down below.

Rockstar’s PS3 exclusive ‘Agent’ had long existed in limbo, with nothing seen of the game since its reveal in 2009. Finally after well over a decade, the game was confirmed to have been cancelled. Since then, former team members have started to speak more candidly regarding Agent, with Rockstar Games’ own co-founder Dan Houser now weighing in on the matter.

In an interview with Lex Fridman (and transcribed by VGC), ex-Rockstar head writer and studio co-founder Dan Houser spoke rather candidly on the ill-fated PS3 exclusive Agent, revealing that “We worked a lot on multiple iterations of an open world spy game, and it never came together.”

Offering additional context, Houser continued, “It had about five different iterations. I don’t think it works, I concluded – and I keep thinking about it sometimes, I sometimes lie in bed thinking about it – and I’ve concluded that what makes them really good as film stories makes them not work as video games. We need to think through how to do it in a different way as a video game.”

Despite not being officially cancelled until 2021, Houser claimed that the game never left the early stages of development, stating: “I don’t know what it would’ve been because we never got it enough to even do a proper story on it. We were doing the early work where you get the world up and running, and it never really found its feet in either of them.”

Considering the lack of pretty much any development details previously regarding the ill-fated Agent, it is highly interesting to hear exactly why the project never came to be.

KitGuru says: How long did you hold out hope for Agent to be re-revealed? Does Houser’s explanation make sense to you? Would you like to see a modern day Rockstar have a second go at trying to make a spy game? Let us know down below.

Every year, there are games that are, in the minds of some, criminally underrated and not given the credit they deserve, whether by the large-scale media, awards season, or public tone. For a certain subset of narrative indie game fans, last year's underrated game was 1000xResist by a new Canadian studio, Sunset Visitor. It was released first on PC and Nintendo Switch and was nominated for several awards, including Outstanding Achievement in Game Director, Story, and Character at the DICE Awards, Best Debut and Best Narrative game at the GDC Awards, and Excellence in Narrative at the IGF Awards, but […]

AOC's potential 2026 AGON monitor lineup has been leaked, showing some promising upcoming monitors. Out of the four monitors in the roadmap, the most significant reveal is a prototype 27-inch monitor apparently capable of a 1000Hz refresh rate.

Based on VisionTang data shared by ITHome (via Guru3D), this prototype reportedly achieves this using a dual-mode function, running at 1000Hz at a 1920×1080 resolution while also offering a 500Hz mode at 2560×1440. The panel is said to use dual-frequency rendering (DFR) technology, likely with integer scaling, to manage the pixel load.

The 2026 lineup isn't just focused on raw refresh rates. The leak also points to a 27-inch AGON model featuring Nvidia G-Sync Pulsar technology. This panel will run QHD resolution at 360Hz, but the Pulsar technology, which synchronises backlight strobing, is claimed to deliver an “effective motion clarity” of 1000Hz. For the esports purist, a more traditional 24.1-inch TN panel is also mentioned, pushing a 400Hz refresh rate.

Voting for the “Ultimate Game of the Year” category at the Golden Joystick Awards 2025 is now open to the public. The annual awards ceremony is scheduled for November 20th, but the public vote for its main prize is running now.

Voters can select up to three titles from a shortlist of twelve via GamesRadar. That 12-strong list includes the two critically acclaimed PS5 exclusives, Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei, both of which are among the year's best-rated games. The RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which launched back in April to high praise, is also a clear contender for the top spot. On the indie side of things, there's Hades 2 and Hollow Knight Silksong as the fan favourites.

The complete list of nominees can be found below:

• Indiana Jones and The Great Circle
• Ghost of Yotei
• Hollow Knight: Silksong
• Blue Prince
• Death Stranding 2: On The Beach
• Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
• Silent Hill f
• Hades II
• Split Fiction
• Peak
• Donkey Kong Bananza
• Kingdom Come: Deliverance II

Remember that, as the Ultimate Game of the Year award is decided entirely by public vote, any of the twelve nominees could take the prize with enough support. This was seen last year, when Black Myth: Wukong secured the win, despite not having the same level of success at other industry events.

SK Hynix unveiled its latest memory roadmap at the AI Summit 2025, and for PC builders, the main takeaway is this: don't hold your breath for DDR6. According to the timeline, the new RAM standard isn't expected to be a significant factor for mainstream PCs until around 2030. 

SK Hynix's roadmap shared by @harukaze5719 (via Wccftech) shows that while the company plans to launch DDR6 products in 2029, it will, as always, be destined for the server market first. This suggests DDR5 has a much longer lifespan ahead of it than many anticipated. The same long-term timeline appears to apply to storage, with PCIe 6.0-based SSDs also unlikely to hit the consumer market for a long time.

On the other hand, memory for mobile devices is accelerating. The roadmap indicates that LPDDR6 will arrive much sooner, with an expected release as early as next year. This new memory will be used in the next-generation SOCAMM2 standard, replacing LPDDR5X in high-performance laptops.

Also mentioned in the roadmap is HBM (High Bandwidth Memory). Development is relentless, with HBM4 starting in 2026, followed quickly by HBM4e, and subsequently HBM5 in 2029 and HBM5e towards 2031. SK Hynix is also moving toward Custom HBM (HBM4E/5/5E), which would allow clients to add logic functions to the memory's base die.

Lastly, for graphics memory, the roadmap teases “GDDR7 Next”. This is likely a nod to the emerging GDDR8 standard, which has appeared on other roadmaps in a similar timeframe. Alternatively, it could be something like GDDR7X.

KitGuru says: The DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 generation still has plenty of time left on the clock. 

NVIDIA has announced a fresh round of DLSS integrations across several PC titles this week, headlined by a major update for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. The RPG will receive DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation on November 5, alongside upgrades to DLSS Frame Generation and the newest transformer‑based DLSS model.

At launch earlier this year, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth supported DLSS to boost frame rates on GeForce RTX GPUs. The upcoming update expands that support significantly, promising smoother performance and improved image quality for players on PC.

Other titles are also adding or launching with DLSS support. Deathground, a co‑op dinosaur survival game, is available now with DLSS 4, Frame Generation, DLSS, and DLAA. The Last Caretaker enters Early Access on November 6 with DLSS 4, Frame Generation, and DLSS enabled from day one. Paradox’s grand strategy sequel Europa Universalis V launches today with DLSS, while arcade racer Wreckreation is also out now with DLSS support. Looking ahead, Anno 117: Pax Romana will arrive on November 13 with DLSS enabled for GeForce RTX users.

To prepare for these releases, NVIDIA has rolled out a new GeForce Game Ready Driver. The update ensures systems are ready for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Anno 117: Pax Romana, and Europa Universalis V. As always, you can download the new driver directly through the Nvidia App, or you can download it and install it manually via the drivers download page, HERE.

That is not the case on PC, however, as the game will still be included in the cheaper PC Game Pass membership plan, despite the recent shake-up of Game Pass tiers.

Here is the full list of titles joining Game Pass, including platforms and dates:

• Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 (Cloud, Console, PC) – November 14
• Dead Static Drive (Cloud, Console, PC) – November 5
• Sniper Elite: Resistance (Cloud, Console, PC) – November 5

Kingston has introduced the FURY Renegade G5 PCIe 5.0 NVMe M.2 SSD, an ultra-fast drive that offers capacities as high as 8TB and read/write speeds up to 14,800MB/s and 14,000MB/s respectively. 

The Renegade G5 uses a PCIe Gen5 x4 interface and 3D TLC NAND, paired with a Silicon Motion SM2508 controller built on 6nm lithography. It also includes a low‑power DDR4 DRAM cache to help manage heat and energy consumption. A 12‑layer PCB design is intended to improve signal quality and maintain consistent performance under sustained workloads.

Performance varies slightly by capacity: the 1TB model reaches up to 14,200/11,000MB/s read/write, while the 2TB version increases write speeds to 14,000MB/s. The 4TB and 8TB models top out at 14,800/14,000MB/s. Random 4K performance is rated at up to 2.2 million IOPS, and endurance scales from 1.0PB written on the 1TB model to 8.0PB on the 8TB version.

The drive supports Microsoft DirectStorage, which allows faster game asset streaming directly from the SSD to the GPU. Power consumption ranges from 6.6W to 9.5W under maximum load depending on capacity, with average idle draw at 0.27W.

The M.2 2280 form factor ensures compatibility with modern desktops and workstations. Operating temperatures are rated between 0°C and 70°C, with a mean time between failures of 2 million hours.

Kingston backs the Renegade G5 with a limited five‑year warranty and free technical support.

Hyrule Warriors has grown from a spinoff to a full-fledged series in its own right relatively quickly, with the soon-to-be-released Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment being the third Zelda-themed Musou game to arrive in roughly a decade. Age of Imprisonment once again serves up a hearty helping of Dynasty-Warriors-style hack ‘n’ slash action while promising to fill in some key details of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s backstory. Is Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment a smashing good time? Or can you safely pass on this particular prequel? Time to wade into the fray. The previous entry in […]
