Festive portable deals take off from Xbox Ally, Nintendo, PlayStation and Evercade

This page started for black Friday but has moved on as the deals come and go. I will update across the festive sales, as new portable hardware deals appear. I won't hype them as "pocket change" or "fire sale" like some sites, because that's bollocks.  December deals :  Evercade has 30% off various hardware, depending on the store, check the blog for details .  PlayStation Portal is currently £20 off on Amazon UK  (another £10 off for refurbs)  Update: Valve has jumped in with 20% off the Steam Deck LCD 256GB model (down to £279 in the UK) Update: Xbox Ally has various deals (pretty short-lived, but likely getting cut again for the post Christmas sale).  Update: PlayStation Portal has £20 off the range, bringing the white and black models down to £179, and 30th Anniversary Edition to £189. (Look out for another 5% off at checkout!)  First up is  Evercade offering a clutch of offers on hardware and games on Amazon and across other stores in Europ...

First Freedom Wars/Panopticon screens and details emerge

Most of the the holes on the site are blanked out on Freedom Wars' official site for a staggered pre-E3 reveal, but a few have been filled in to show us our first look at the game in action. Interestingly there's a Yahoo maps logo on one, so likely the game uses real world mapping for 8-player online multiplayer, although that does sound odd for a game set in another time and another place.


UPDATE: Some text off the Japanese site has been auto-translated and reads roughly as: "In the far future, the Panopticon prison city dominates in a world that has been devastated, with no life outside its walls. In order to manage the sprawling mass of people, Panopticon imposes imprisonment for most humans and their sins. Criminals can participate in the war against the beasts and capturing other criminals, called "volunteer" labour to win their freedom. (Rough, but I think that's what it means.)


The character details look crisp, while the weapons have that slightly annoying oversize feel to them and there's some tentative proof that the game does manage the huge leaps as shown in the trailer.
