It was only the other day we reported how HP has been slapped with a lawsuit in response to measures that disable its printers when fitted with a third-party ink cartridge.

Back in 2019, a live-action version of Final Fantasy 14—the critically-acclaimed MMORPG with an expanded free trial, you know the one—was in the works. Announced as a collaboration between Sony Pictures Television and Hivemind (responsible for Netflix’s The Witcher series), it seemed like a natural pairing.

Subsequent RPGs and immersive sims sprinkled peaceful options in, but an…
The Framework 16 is the gaming laptop I’ve always wanted. Well… almost. If you put the Framework 16’s GPU party piece into the Razer Blade 14 then you’ve got the gaming laptop I’ve always wanted, but this is certainly a vital step down that path. And without Framework there’s no chance of ever getting there;…
Diablo 4’s new spider pal may be far more complicated than last season’s Vampiric Powers, but I like the change of pace. Season 2 was a critical moment for the game to speed way up and see what happened, and the result was what felt almost like a reboot: a major shift in philosophy for…
We said in 2021 that the ’90s are back, baby, because someone was making an RTS based on Stargate SG-1. Today they’re really back, because that game, formally known as Stargate: Timekeepers, is now live—and for those of you who aren’t sure whether real-time Stargate strategy is going to be your bag, a demo is…
