You can already grab an Xbox One X with a free game bundled in for $500 shipped

Microsoft’s next generation home gaming console releases to the masses today. The Xbox One X retails for $499.99 and we are already seeing it bundled with a free game. While there is certainly a chance we see some notable prices on this thing over Black Friday, it is likely safe to assume that most of the deepest deals will be very limited doorbusters.

The new South Park Phone Destroyer game for iOS/Android gets an official release date

FREE

The latest South Park game released for consoles earlier this month to solid reviews. The Fractured But Whole, much like the Stick of Truth before it, is about as close to the show as a game could get. It’s basically a completely brand new episode set inside a very capable RPG. Surprisingly enough, this same attention to detail seemed to be apparent in the upcoming South Park mobile game when it was announced back at E3 2017. Many of the same creators have a hand in South Park Phone Destroyer for iOS/Android and we are hoping it can deliver on at least a similar level as the console counterparts.

While the game has been available in certain test markets for some time, we now have an official US release date for iOS and Android…

As we move into the busy game release season there are still some very notable releases still to hit store shelves, not to mention the stellar Super Mario Odyssey which dropped last week.

But today, straight from the PGW Sony conference, developer Sucker Punch has unveiled its latest creation.

For those of you expecting more Infamous, unfortunately that is not the case, but the folks at SP certainly did not disappoint with this new debut trailer…
