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 […]

Frostpunk 2 offers an excellent and organic step up from the original, naturally spreading and evolving in every way, and offering yet another engaging survivalist city-builder in the frozen wasteland.
I wasn't interested in playing The Plucky Squire just by looking at the screenshots. I found the art style slightly peculiar, especially when the main character wasn't in the storybook. Reluctantly, I loaded up the game and found myself having a great time once I got into it. Immediately, you are greeted by a sea of color and vibrancy, and I feel like I've loaded up a kid's game. That statement isn't too far from the truth, but the game was fun to dive into. I went into this without knowing anything about the game. From my first moment of […]
Unlike the Resident Evil series, CAPCOM's other foray into zombie-focused games, the Dead Rising franchise, hasn't seen the same level of success despite getting a loyal following of hardcore fans. Following the fourth entry in the series released back in 2016, photojournalist Frank West seemed to have joined Regina from Dino Crisis and Ryu from Breath of Fire in the graveyard of forgotten CAPCOM's characters, and with the protracted silence on the franchise, it really looked like Dead Rising was done for good. That was not the case. In 2024, the Japanese company confirmed that the first entry in the […]
While PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSDs are setting new storage performance benchmarks, the real-life and application benefits of getting those drives are still not worth the price you are paying for them. It's still very much an early adopter product for now and while we appreciate the speed-up, we would love to see the performance transition from synthetic benchmarks to actual use cases. And you know what's still considered to be quite fast without breaking your wallet? The current-gen PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSDs. Gen 4 SSDs are now available at very affordable price rates and offer great performance. We […]

SteelSeries headsets have long been among my favorite wireless gaming headsets. This is not only because of the good sound quality the brand offers but also because of the comfort and battery life these headpieces pack. Back in May of this year, SteelSeries released its Arctis Nova 5X wireless for consoles and PC, and I was happy to be able to get a sample for testing. I've been testing quite a few wireless outings from SteelSeries over the past few years with the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless being the most recent headpiece I reviewed. In the same Nova line, SteelSeries […]

It's been over a year since NVIDIA introduced its Ada Lovelace GPUs, and since then, the lineup has seen various additions with the most recent one being the "SUPER" series which introduced brand new variants in the lineup while replacing the older Non-SUPER models. One of the cards that was still kept in the lineup is the GeForce RTX 4070 and despite its "SUPER" variant offering a nice boost in performance, the 4070 still exists in the current stack owing to its popular demand, mostly due to its price point in the $500 US range. NVIDIA has periodically said that […]
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 […]
