It’s rare that I review something that I would actually buy right at this moment in time. Even if it’s a good product that I recommend, it’s usually out of my own budget or just not quite at the top of my PC priority list compared to other upgrades. But with the Alienware AW2525HM, I…
We managed to get hands-on experience with Framework’s new “MacBook Pro for Linux users” just last week, and we were mighty impressed with it. If you, too, were impressed and placed your preorders for its June release, I have some bad news. It’s now going to be released one month later. In an email sent…

Due to the memory pricing crisis that its own AI ambitions are helping cause, Microsoft does not know how to sell a new Xbox that feels cutting-edge at a price that regular people can afford. The next Xbox, codenamed Helix, will have “leading-end performance,” new Xbox boss Asha Sharma said in a recent interview with…
Stepping into a new world in Valheim is an exhilarating feeling: a massive realm surrounds you, wild and untamed in all directions, just waiting for you to grab your hammer and start shaping it. But—and hear me out on this—what if the world was already shaped, just for you? What if a couple of modders…
It was just a few months ago that Jason Momoa was announced as the headline star of the upcoming Helldivers film, but it seems that plans have changed. A Deadline report, later confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter, says Momoa is now out. The reason for Momoa’s departure isn’t currently known, although both sites confirmed that…
One of the games that got us excited during the Summer Game Fest deluge this past weekend was 1666: Amsterdam, a long-in-development project headed up by Assassin’s Creed creator Patrice Desilets.
