Nintendo Switch The Switch is this year’s must-have console and it’s not hard to see why. Nothing else lets you explore the gorgeous of world of Hyrule from the comfort of your living room and then continue the journey on your commute – just take it out of the dock and you can play anywhere, any time. Add a stellar line-up of games to the mix – Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and many more – and it’s easy to see why the Switch it top of a lot of Christmas lists. Xbox One X If you want to experience 4K gaming for under £500, Xbox One X is the perfect choice. It’s the world’s most powerful console, serving up true 4K gaming at a fraction of the price of a similar spec PC. There’s great 4K support in the games line-up too, with Forza Motorsport 7 and Assassin’s Creed Origins both looking absolutely gorgeous. PlayStation 4 Pro While Sony’s 4K console doesn’t quite match the power of the Xbox One X, you can get it for almost £200 cheaper if you shop around. It’s also been out for a lot longer, so there are more games that take advantage of the extra grunt, including Horizon: Zero Dawn and Destiny 2. It’s also the best console to go for if you’re interest in virtual reality, thanks to PlayStation VR. Turtle Beach Elite Pro Headset and Amp If you take gaming seriously then this headset is for you. It’s super comfortable, thanks to large, soft ear cups that, cleverly, can adjust to accommodate glasses – meaning lengthy gaming sessions can be enjoyed by everyone. The separate amp enables you to alter the audio mix too, increasing the volume of enemy footsteps to give you a competitive advantage. Yes, they’re expensive, but if you spend hours playing games then they’re totally worth it. ASUS GX501VI ROG Zephyrus This 15.6-inch gaming laptop is a beast. Packing a 2.8GHz i7 processor, 16GB RAM and a GTX1080 with 8GB of VRAM, this makes light work of any game running in full HD. Better still, even though it’s as powerful as a desktop gaming PC, it’s as light and portable as an ultrabook, so you really can play the latest high-end games anywhere. PlayStation VR PS VR is the most affordable way to experience virtual reality especially if you already have a PS4. While the headset isn’t quite as technically advanced as some of its more expensive competitors, it’s no slouch and the experiences it offers are truly memorable – putting on the Dark Knight’s cowl in Batman: Arkham VR is a moment Bat fans will never forget, and piloting an X-Wing in Battlefront VR is a must for anyone with opening day tickets to The Last Jedi. There’s a new version coming out too – the CUH-ZVR1 - which offers a number of minor enhancements over the original and is priced the same. Acer UM.CZ1EE.P01 Predator Z35P 35-Inch Monitor If you’re going to play PC games you may as well do it properly. This ultra-wide 3440 x 1440 pixel monitor is 35-inches across and curved, so it properly immerses you in any game you’re playing. Fast response time means lag is not an issue, plus the high constrast ratio guarantees images look great, even if you’re playing in a light room. The slick design is the icing on the cake. Xbox Elite Controller £120 is a lot of money for a game controller, but the Elite is no ordinary pad. It’s completely customisable and comes with a selection of precision-engineered D-pads and thumbsticks to ensure the best fit and maximum comfort. The pad configuration can be changed further thanks to detachable paddles that fit underneath, enabling you to assign face button controls to your fingers, to free up your thumbs. DropMix DropMix is a card-based music game from the creators of Rock Band and it’s quite unlike anything else we’ve played. Available on iOS and Android, the game comes with a game board onto which you place chip-enabled cards, which represent different parts of a song, from bass, percussion vocals and so on. By layering the cards you create band new mixes of familiar tracks. The game comes with 60 cards to get you started, plus more are available to expand your playlist. Cyberpower Ultra Luxe 1080 Gaming PC This liquid-cooled gaming PC not only looks the part, thanks to its neon blue open design, but it also runs the latest games on maximum settings. The 4.6GHz overclocked i7 processor, combined with 32GB RAM and an Nvidia GTX 1080 graphics card, means it’s more than capable of handling anything you throw at it, plus it packs two hard drives – a 480GB SSD and 2TB standard drive – so there’s plenty of room to store your library of games.
