The video game Assassin's Creed Odyssey is down to $29.99 on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 at Amazon today. This is a fairly new game, just released in early October, and still regularly sells for around the $60 price. Today's deal is a price-match of a one-day sale at Best Buy , so it's very likely this deal won't last for very long. While it is just another game in the long-running Assassin's Creed series, Odyssey takes some new twists and turns to make the game seem fresh. For one thing, it takes place in ancient Greece. You will be able to choose between Athens or Sparta in the middle of the Peloponnesian War. For another, it adds a lot of RPG elements where previous games depended on a more action-game format. It even brings back a bit of the excellent naval combat from previous games. Watch your men get eaten by sharks. On Metacritic, the game has 82 on PS4 and 87 on Xbox One .

Once upon a time strategy games and consoles didn't really get along. If you wanted to play great strategy games your best bet was to stick to a PC. However, things have changed.

The EACHINE E58 borrows the look of a premium drone, but it's clearly a budget drone best suited for novice pilots EACHINE E58 drone You get what you pay for One of the better pre-fabricated drones you can buy for under $100, but you'll want to buy with realistic expectations for drones at this price. $95 at Amazon The Good Modern drone style Built-in camera Good in-air stability Affordable price Quick to start flying The Bad Lightweight to a fault Camera functionality is suspect Plastic parts break easy First Flight EACHINE E58 Pocket Drone: The features The most compelling feature of this drone is its price. You're not likely to find such an impressively designed camera drone you can fit in your pocket for a better price than this — but you should be sure to keep your expectations in check as well.

Huawei currently has more than a few things on its plate to worry about and quite some work to do, pushing out eagerly-anticipated models, like the nova 4 , a new 20W SuperCharge protocol and aiding in the release of the View 20 from its subsidiary Honor. Both of these upcoming phones share an exciting new design trait with their in-display selfie cameras. But amid all the commotion, the next Huawei P30 Pro flagship seems to be mostly slipping under the radar. Granted, it's likely lined up for a later release, but certain aspects of its display are already starting to become apparent. Namely, that unlike the two aforementioned models, it will not feature a trendy in-display camera cut-out, instead opting for a more conventional notch. A couple of shots recently surfaced on /leaks showing a pair of glass screen protector designs for the upcoming P30 Pro flagship. Both with small cut-outs for a camera, one of which circular, while the other in what has come to be know as

To a lot of people, Samsung just makes flagship devices like the Galaxy S9 and the Galaxy Note 9 . However, it also makes a range of mid-tier devices with its "J" and "A" series. The "J" phones are the more competitively priced and the "A" range is designed to be more premium. I recently got hold of a Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) because I wanted to run Speed Test G on it and its Exynos processor. I was so impressed, I thought it warranted a full written review! Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) design The first things you may notice about the A7 are the bezels. In an age where flagship devices are all about edge-to-edge displays and getting the highest screen-t0-body ratio possible, the A7 (2018) might seem a little jarring. When I showed the device to a teenager in my family, the first reaction was, "wow, look at the bezels." The A7 (2018) has a 10 percent lower screen-to-body ratio than a device like the Galaxy S9 Plus , which is
