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 […]

Admittedly, GreedFall II: The Dying World was my first experience with the franchise, and it really wasn't a good one. Even though the game is in Early Access, I don't think it's even ready for that. Within the first 30 minutes of the game, I was immediately aware of how janky this game was and how dated it felt despite being developed and released for a modern audience. Admittedly, after seeing the main menu, I was hopeful and thought that the game had a lot of potential, as it's very aesthetically pleasing. However, my feelings were in the wrong place. […]
Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown's first season has begun, with the Solar Crown competition being available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Hell is Us, a game that was announced during Sony's State of Play in September, has just gotten a new 15-minute extended gameplay video uploaded to YouTube via the Nacon channel.

This gameplay showcase features Jonathan Jacques-Belletete, the Creative Director and Art Director at Rogue Factor. Jacques-Belletete has a great portfolio, […]
Open-world racing games have become fairly commonplace in recent years, but before the likes of Forza Horizon or The Crew rolled out, we had Test Drive Unlimited. Despite innovating many staples of the modern open-world racer, the franchise has laid dormant since 2011, so there was a fair amount of excitement when a third entry in the series, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, was announced back in 2020. Now that the game has finally arrived after several delays, does Test Crown Unlimited Solar Crown return the series to the top of the open-world racer leaderboard? Or should this franchise have […]
Video game release dates are more a suggestion than a promise these days, and understandably so. Making games is hard and audiences have never been busier and more fickle. Still, it’s disappointing when you find out that sci-fi shooter or fantasy adven...
Today, NACON has announced a delay for the upcoming game Terminator: Survivors. Previously scheduled to enter PC early access on October 24, it will now launch at some point next year. Marco Ponte, CEO & Creative Director of NACON Studio Milan, said in a statement: This deferral of the game’s release was a tough decision to make, however we believe that this additional time will enable us to ensure that our vision of the post-apocalyptic world of Terminator meets the expected level of quality. On behalf of the NACON Studio Milan team, I would like to thank all the players […]
Earlier this year, Nacon generated some excitement with the latest teaser trailer for Terminator: Survivors, a new open-world adventure/survival game that takes place after Judgment Day in a post-apocalyptic setting. The game is apparently launching this year, but there are still plenty of outstanding questions, and thankfully, Nacon has stepped up to answer some of them. First off, Nacon has clarified Terminator: Survivors’ setting, which takes place in a timeline where Judgment Day happened in 2005 and we see the John Connor found the resistance. “We've witnessed Sarah Connor's efforts to avert Judgment Day, the Resistance's struggle against Skynet. And […]
Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is all about decadence and riding slick cars around its urban Hong Kong environment, or, at least, that’s what it’s mostly about. There actually is a more wild side to Hong Kong and during today’s Nacon Connect showcase we got a new trailer for Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown which shows off the game’s grittier offroad side and some of its heavier vehicles, including trucks, SUVs, and more. Check out the trailer for yourself, below. While we’re at it, here’s a couple more trailers we haven’t posted – the first focuses on the more laid […]
Two years after the project's original announcement, Terminator: Survivors was unveiled during NACON Connect 2024. Developed by NACON Milan, it's an open world survival game based on an original story set in 2009, after the events of the second Terminator film. That means players will have to face Skynet before the founding of John Connor's resistance group. They'll need to try and survive in this post-apocalyptic world while dealing with other humans (who will be vying for the same resources) and, of course, the machines. At first, the player character is said to be unaware of the existence of Skynet […]
Any gamer who regularly browses Steam (and, to a lesser degree, the console digital stores) is probably already aware of the sheer multitude of games that are coming to the market. For years now, the so-called backlog of each gamer has been getting longer due to the accumulation of previously unplayed titles and the launch of new titles. While to a certain extent this is proof of a vibrant industry, it also engenders a series of problems: obviously, there is only a finite amount of time that users can dedicate to their games, and they also compete against other hobbies.
