This week's best deals: PlayStation Classic, Super Smash Bros, Frozen Synapse 2, and more

Plus: gaming monitors, Nvidia Shield, and more.

This week's roundup of the week's best gaming deals is coming to you live from EGX 2018 - the show run by Eurogamer's parent company Gamer Network - where everything is loud, lights are flashy and Wi-Fi coverage is at maximum load. There's a whole lot of different things to take a look at this week, so before the internet completely dies, let's get to it.

As usual, we've got deals that'll work in the UK, deals that'll work in the US and some deals that will work in both the UK and US, as well as presumably many other places. Let's get started.

UK & US Deals

Perhaps the biggest news of the week - outside of the majesty of EGX 2018 of course - is Sony's announcement of its own tiny nostalgia machine, the PlayStation Classic. With 20 PlayStation 1 games preinstalled, the console is due out on December 3rd and can be pre-ordered below.

Frozen Synapse 2 is finally out and it's everything I wanted it to be - by which I mean, I'm going to lose a significant portion of my life to it over the coming weeks. If you want to get involved, the strategy 'em up game is down to £19.07 / $23.97 over at Green Man Gaming.

You know the world is truly a strange place when one of the more appealing upcoming titles on a Nintendo console happens to be a collection of classic Sega games. Life is strange, however, since that's exactly what you can order for $30 right now. Get ready to play through a lot of Shinobi.

Onrush is a good game - I am prepared to go to bat for that stance. While it failed to light the world on fire when it launched back in June, it's a capable and frantic racer that you can now pick up for $35 on either Xbox One or PS4.

Amazon's got a set of Nintendo Switch games up for grabs right now, discounted to $45 apiece. So, if you've been meaning to pick up Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze or Mario Tennis Aces, you can go ahead and do that for less money this week.

Remember the first Matrix movie? Before all of the sequels and marketing and movie-tie-in games and over-enthusiastic hype kind of ruined the series, there was the original movie - a derivative but slick cyberpunk action thing that's now available in 4K for under $18.

The Matrix 4K Blu-ray for $17.96 from Amazon US

While not always necessarily a pleasant game to, you know, look at - aesthetically speaking - the art of Dark Souls 3 is definitely one of the more striking and distinct styles in modern video games.

That Spider-Man game has been doing well the past couple weeks, hasn't it? If you've been knee-deep in Spidey's colourful New York adventure and you're looking for just a little bit more, you can get yourself this almost 200-page art book and feel like you're playing the game even when you're not. That, or just enjoy the sights.
