We are gathered here today to celebrate the uniting of two households, both alike in dignity. Or alternatively, two HP gaming brands, HyperX and Omen, which have now been smushed together to create… HyperX Omen. The first offspring from this union is the HyperX Omen Max 16 gaming laptop, which, in terms of its chassis…
HyperX, the gaming hardware brand acquired by HP back in 2021, now makes gaming monitors. Well, that’s not strictly true. HP makes the monitors, but the newly-announced HyperX Omen OLED 34 looks to be the start of some very tempting offerings, if its impressive specs sheet is anything to go by. It’s a 360 Hz…
Build a base with friends on an alien planet. Is it just me or do we ring in each new gaming year with a smash-hit co-op game, usually one that’s pretty reasonably priced? Maybe it’s that January arrives to see us flush with holiday cash and looking to link up with friends instead of spending…

Something very odd is happening in the world of Red Dead Redemption 2, and I don’t know what’s going on but I do know this: It’s got a lot of players very excited about spiderwebs. The wheels started turning in December, when players discovered a weird spider symbol carved into a pole. Laying that symbol…
There’s something to be said for throwing moderation out the window and going all in on excess. MSI seems to agree, as it’s just taken the wraps off the MSI GeForce RTX 5090 32G Lightning Z, a truly monstrous, water cooled, 8-inch screen emblazoned GPU that makes the regular RTX 5090 look downright pedestrian. It’s…
Eating up the dust. If you thought Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds was slowing down anytime soon, think again. Sega has announced that the Pac-Man Pack will be available on 7th January 2026. Alongside the upcoming DLC, which includes the iconic Namco character as a playable racer, PAC-MAN Festival is also kicking off a day later on…
About a decade ago, hardware company Corsair attempted to pivot from its classic logo—a subtle trio of ship sails—to a newer, edgier look, a pair of crossed swords that gave off regrettable ‘2000s tribal tattoo’ energy. The rebrand didn’t last long: after a fierce outcry from people who correctly thought the new logo sucked, Corsair…
Elias Toufexis has done a lot of work over the years, but to us he will always be known first and foremost as the voice of Adam Jensen, the hero of Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Mankind Divided, the best two-part videogame trilogy ever made. He didn’t ask for this, but that’s just how it…
The changing of the year can be a time of renewal and reinvigoration, but that renewal isn’t always frictionless. The new year might mean wrestling with over-ambitious resolutions, the frustration of writing the previous year whenever you’re dating a document, or—in the case of Riot Games—forgetting to renew the encryption certificate for your software and…
