It was another big, if short, week at GameSpace.com. We’ve got some terrific reviews, as well as a few opinions on things as diverse as Destiny 2’s best weapons and a nifty mouse / keyboard review. You’ll definitely want to check it out!

It’s an important week for Total War: ARENA’s closed beta, with Creative Assembly launching an Open Week and inviting all comers to the online 10 vs 10 tactical battlefield. We strategically dispatched Gareth Harmer to the studio’s UK HQ to find out more.

Ah, yes. It’s Black Friday, the once American-only phenomenon that sends people out at midnight still languishing in a turkey stupor from mere hours before. Retailers around the world push out some of the best deals of the year as folks’ minds turn to the upcoming Christmas holidays. We’ve collects SOME of the deals out there. We know you’ll fill in even more, so let’s get crackin’!

Blizzard has announced Word of Warcraft Classic for all of us old timers. The questions came up at Blizzcon of keeping Classic true to its nature but adding in some quality of life changes for the better. Here are a list of ideas which might help all of us down the line.

Skyrim is one of those games that I’ll play again and again, and apparently buy again and again. I’ve bought it at least three different times now, and I’m thankful Bethesda saw fit to send us a review copy of Skyrim for the Switch to review on the site. Finally, one of the best open world RPGs of all time is truly portable. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s still just as fun as ever. This is our Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Switch review.

A:IR, or Ascend: Infinite Realm, was just fully revealed ahead of G-STAR 2017. Being made by Bluehole Studio (TERA) and brought west by Kakao Games (Black Desert), it looks to have everything an MMORPG fan desires. RVR combat, complex crafting, housing, customizable airships, pets, deep classes, a massive world, player-made quests, and so forth.
