AMD’s Strix Halo chip, otherwise known as the Ryzen AI Max, has always been technically interesting. But it hasn’t really added up for gaming. Until, perhaps, now. It seems the variant we always wanted to see, which majors in graphics rather than CPU grunt, is set to be released. Chinese PC specialist SixUnited has a…
Oh dear. Football Manager 26 has gone down about as convincingly as Luis Suárez in the penalty box.

Not much of a revival. The beat ‘em up genre has experienced something of a renaissance in the last generation, with original titles like Fight’n Rage (2019) and more recently Absolum (2025) finding new ways to move the genre forward, while releases such as Streets of Rage 4 (2020) and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s…
