Pimax’s fancy-looking Dream Air SE Micro-OLED VR headset weighs under 150 grams and is much more affordable than the standard model

While OLED gaming monitors might be a stretch goal for many of us, miniature versions are already being crammed into VR headsets.

Iron Galaxy has explained why Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 won’t feature the career mode: ‘Our goal here is to make the ultimate package’

The news that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 wouldn’t include the popular career mode from the original 4th game wasn’t received well when it was announced in March.

Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford spiels about how wonderful Borderlands 4 is going to be, then gets all coy about the price but jokes ‘maybe we’ll sell you that minimap that you guys want’

Gearbox Software co-founder and CEO Randy Pitchford is going full PT Barnum for the release of Borderlands 4, bullishly telling everyone that this is going to be the best Borderlands since sliced bread, and wading into online fights to tell the doubters to “play the game first.” Heck he even pulled a Todd Howard: “you…

Cooler Master Hyper 612 Apex review

Even in early access, Blacksmith Master is a well forged ingot of cozy management and metalwork

“Cozy” isn’t the word I’d usually reach for when discussing the hot and sweaty labour that comes with running a medieval forge. But even in its early access form, Blacksmith Master’s unlikely combination of hard metalwork and decorative drapes brings a pleasantly relaxing vibe to all that smelting and hammering. My little workshop’s comfortably nestled…
