Apple finally included a telephoto lens in its iPhone 15 Pro Max last year, with the upgrade extended to the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. This is just one of the many examples of how the Cupertino firm adopts various standards much later than the competition, likely because it wants to offer the best configuration to customers. One other technology that the company is said to bring for the iPhone 18 that rivals like Samsung introduced years ago is variable aperture for the main camera, and according to one analyst, another supplier will provide these parts. Sunny […]
The use of TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process for the M4 series has made Apple’s latest chipsets more thermally efficient, but that does not mean that a capable cooling solution should be ignored from the rest of the hardware configuration. In fact, depending on how robust that solution is, we can actually get more performance from the M4, as demonstrated in the latest Premiere Pro 4K Export test, where the redesigned Mac mini is faster than Apple’s updated 14-inch MacBook Pro. However, one other hardware ends up taking the crown, and we will discuss why this is happening. The 24-inch M4 […]
We’re about halfway through April, which means another wave of titles is up for grabs for Xbox Game Pass subscribers. You’ve got a hockey sim, a JRPG, a tower defense action-strategy game, and more, as well as that hilariously silly crustacean Soulslik...
After over a decade of development, the gorgeous stop-motion narrative adventure Harold Halibut has finally arrived. For the most part, the game doesn’t focus that heavily on puzzles and guides you by the hand through its story, but there still are a few parts in the game where you might find yourself a bit lost. Midway through Chapter 4 of Harold Halibut, with 45 in-game days left, the very guided approach of the rest of the game opens up a bit as you’re required to complete a couple of tasks for researcher Brigitte. One of these tasks is setting up […]

As I play through the sci-fi adventure that is Harold Halibut, I am often reminded of walking through an aquarium. It’s partially because the game’s gorgeous environments are submerged in, but it’s also because I feel a childlike frustration at the eve...
There are no shortage of passion projects within the world of indie games, but Harold Halibut from German developer Slow Bros. takes dedication to another level. In the works in some form since 2010, Harold Halibut’s striking stop-motion-inspired visuals have caught a lot of folks’ eyes, but there was always that lingering concern that this aquatic adventure may be a pipe dream. That a completed game may never surface. Thankfully, those fears were misplaced, as the game finally arrives this week. Has Harold Halibut been worth the long wait and all those many developer hours? Or is the end result […]

Unfortunately, the game […]
Keeping track of all the latest video games coming out is an increasingly complex task, what with multiple PC storefronts, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, mobile, and more to keep track of, but don’t worry, I’m here to help. Every month I'll be running down the games you need to be keeping an eye on, from the big triple-A headliners, to the indies you might otherwise overlook. After a surprisingly-packed February and March, we get a bit of a breather in April, but there’s still some things to look forward to. Sony’s slick actioner Stellar Blade, the Akira-Toriyama-inspired Sand Land, and […]
