Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

After many years of development and delays, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League finally launched earlier this month and it turns out folks’ concerns about the game were largely well-founded. Reviews weren’t great and it didn’t seem like people were rushing to play the co-op live service game. Well, it seems Warner Bros. Discovery is already prepared to throw Suicide Squad under the bus, as they’re admitting the game has “fallen short of our expectations.” These comments came courtesy of WB Discover CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels during the company’s most recent earnings call… "This year, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, […]
Cloud Strife's first steps outside of Midgar until the ending credits highlights why the original game was so memorable to millions of fans while Final Fantasy VII Rebirth finds new ways to delight and surprise what is just the first disc of his adventure.
Ubisoft’s Skull and Bones has been on a very long and choppy voyage with development reportedly setting sail over a decade ago. Admittedly, the initial pitch was a fairly appealing one – an open-world multiplayer pirate adventure from the same Ubisoft Singapore team that worked on the naval battles from the acclaimed Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. Unfortunately, the game’s 2017 reveal was followed by reboots, damning behind-the-scenes reports, and a seemingly endless sequence of delays. Many began to suspect the game would eventually sail over the horizon, never to be seen again, but lo-and-behold, Skull and Bones finally drifted […]
After much waiting and hoping, Bandai Namco and FromSoftware promised to finally give us the first trailer for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree today, and boy did they deliver. This first three-minute look at the expansion focuses heavily on new bosses, and they look like a very intimidating lot – a towering flaming effigy, a twisted Chinese dragon type thing, what appears to be a giant stick bug, and more. This is all lorded over by what would seem to be the new big bad of the expansion, Messmer the Impaler (that’s him in the header image). Beyond the […]
Sony’s most recent earnings report wasn’t a great one for the previously-strong-seeming PlayStation brand. As we reported, Sony downgraded their fiscal year 2024 (which runs from the beginning of April 2023 to the end of March 2024) target for PS5 sales from 25 million to 21 million. They also admitted that no major AAA franchise entries will be published over the course of this coming fiscal year. Needless to say, this wasn’t received that well, partly leading to a plunge in Sony stock that subtracted an estimated $10 billion from the Japanese company’s value. That said, a number of financial […]
Dying Light 2 Stay Human may be a first-person game, but developer Techland were always insistent it wasn’t a first-person shooter. While there were a few hacked-together firearms in the game, their use was very limited – the game was almost all about melee combat. This was explained in-game by the fact that Dying Light 2 takes place a couple of decades after the first game in a world that’s essentially returned to a feudal society where most mechanical things, including guns, have broken down or been destroyed. Well, despite all that, some fans continued to hope gunplay would return […]
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is out now, and as the game’s title implies, your main challenge is taking out the League, but what comes after that? Well, once you've killed the boy scouts, it’s time to tackle Brainiac! Note: The following guide contains some late-game Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League SPOILERS. As you’ll eventually find out, Brainiac is trying to terraform the world in multiple dimensions, with the game hinting you’ll eventually have defeat at least a dozen additional versions of the big bad. It’s been teased these extra Brainiac throwdowns will be part of the game’s […]
The next big update for Baldur’s Gate 3, Patch 6, is on its way and Larian is teasing some of the changes it will usher in. These include new Legendary Actions in Honour Mode, streamlined party management, the ability to prioritize your avatar as the “main speaker” so teammates won’t hog the conversation, and more. The patch will weigh in at a fairly meaty 21 GB, and will launch on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5 simultaneously (Mac users will have to wait for a bit). Here’s a rundown of what Larian has teased for the patch thus far… Releasing […]
Overwatch 2 Season 9, entitled “Champions,” kicks off tomorrow, and while players won’t be getting a new hero, Blizzard is promising some pretty major under-the-hood changes. These include the controversial decision to give all characters passive healing abilities, as well as boosting heroes’ health stats and increasing the actual size of projectiles in order to make shooting more accessible. Competitive play is also getting a full revamp, with all skill ranks being reset. Before we go on to the rest of the details, you can check out a quick trailer for Overwatch 2 Season 9 below. In addition to the […]
Over the past week, Xbox fans have been thrown into turmoil by rumors that indicated everything from Starfield, to Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, to the Gears of War franchise may jump to PlayStation and other platforms. Some leakers have since walked those rumors back, saying Starfield making the jump is unlikely, but the horse is already out of the barn and speculation about the future of Xbox is running wild. Microsoft itself hasn’t exactly doused those flames, as they haven’t stepped into deny anything, but instead promised a “business update event” for this week. “We're listening and we hear you. We've been […]
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is out now, and as the game’s title implies, one of the toughest challenges you’ll face during the game’s campaign is… killing the Justice League. The final Squad member you’ll have to take on is the big man himself, Superman. This fight isn’t actually that much different than some that have come before, particularly the Flash battle, but it’s a real war of attrition that can be tough to overcome if you don’t know what you’re doing. Don’t worry yourself though, with our tips you’ll be able to take down the Man of Steel […]
