Samsung has launched its second generation Odyssey Ark monitor, boasting 55 inches of 4K 165Hz real estate. That’s a whole lot of screen but it comes with a whole lot of price tag, unfortunately. At $3000, you’d want this to be something very special. At first glance, there’s nothing that immediately stands out, especially when…

Silent Hill: Ascension is many things. It’s an episodic drama. It lets you vote on outcomes, but only if you have a season pass. It is, technically, a new Silent Hill entry.
