Jeff Grubb Says Next State of Play Likely To Announce A “Less Exciting” Remaster

It's seemingly confirmed that Horizon Zero Dawn is getting a remaster, despite the fact it really doesn't need one. Sony is focusing on making the games look a bit cleaner and visually striking instead of rebooting or porting franchises that people actually care about. Although it hasn't been officially confirmed that a Horizon Zero Dawn remaster is coming, it's quite likely since the rumor has been floating around since 2022. People now believe this is happening because the supposed remastered version has been rated by the ESRB, listening to PC and PlayStation 5 as the platforms. In the latest Game […]

The Final Joker 2 Trailer Is Here

Apple’s A18 Pro Is 13 Percent Faster Than A17 Pro In GFXBench’s Aztec Ruins Benchmark; New Milestone Is Achieved At A Worse ‘Performance Per...

The A18 Pro powering the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max had already cemented its position as Apple’s fastest smartphone silicon to date by being 18 percent faster than last year’s A17 Pro in Geekbench 6’s Metal benchmark while also trading blows with the M1 in the single-core and multi-core department. In the latest GFXBench Aztec Ruins test, the newest SoC once again reaches a new performance plateau, but a closer look at the comparison reveals that it had to operate at a higher power draw to achieve this difference, resulting in a worse ‘performance per watt’ ratio. In the […]

SSD Heatsink Guide: The best cooling options for your NVMe drive

When NVMe heat sinks first hit the market, many of the units included with certain motherboards were gimmicks and actually resulted in higher SSD temperatures. Cooling m.2 drives wasn't really a concern back then, but today's PCI-e Gen 5 SSDs aren't able to sustain their peak performance without some form of cooling. The controller found in many PCI-e 5 SSDs currently on the market is Phison's E26, which has a TJ Max (maximum temperature) of 125C - much hotter than previous generation products. With temperatures up on modern SSDs, the need to keep modern Gen 5 SSDs cool has resulted […]

Helldivers 2 ~200 Hours Later – A War Without A Cause

I got a lot of backlash following my Helldivers 2 review from many fanboys. Undeniably, this game took over the cultural zeitgeist for a while and is still one of the best sellers on Steam. In my review, I pointed out many of the game's problems, such as the server issues, the incredibly awful balancing, and the glitches and bugs it has. I capped things off by giving the game a 6/10, a score that I gave to another lacking live service of the same caliber: Payday 3. Ever since the review came out, the game has been patched to […]

Mario Kart 8’s Booster Course Pass is a Great Value, But Leaves You Wanting a True Sequel

Nintendo has certain got plenty of mileage of Mario Kart 8. The gravity-defying racer was originally released back in 2014 on the humble Wii U, then got a “Deluxe” Switch re-release in 2017, ultimately selling a slightly ridiculous 65 million copies (and counting) in its near-decade on the market. More recently, Nintendo has tried to give Mario Kart 8 Deluxe an extra shot in the arm with the release of the Booster Course Pass, a collection of 48 additional tracks released piecemeal in six waves throughout 2022 and 2023. The final wave of Booster Course Pass content recently dropped, so […]

Tag: Op-Ed

Nintendo has officially announced that it is suing PocketPair, the creators of Palworld, in collaboration with The Pokemon Company. In a statement on NintendoCoLtd on X, Nintendo filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court on September 18, 2024. This lawsuit aims to seek an injunction against infringement and damages after PocketPair allegedly infringed multiple patents in Palworld. This news isn't surprising, except that it didn't come sooner. Palworld was first released in January 2024. In the game, there are plenty of "Pals" that look incredibly similar to the creatures in Pokemon, to the point that it's bordering […]
