Security warnings and updates for PCs, their components, and the software they run are everyday occurrences. So much so that we never really give them much attention: We just download the patch and carry on as normal. However, Asus has warned that many of its Intel motherboards are vulnerable and can allow access to system…

Category: Games Sid Meier’s Civilization VII on Xbox Reignites That ‘Just One More Turn’ Feeling Mike Nelson, Xbox Wire Editor Published February 11, 2025 I can’t remember the last time I was able to get started in a grand strategy game this quickly, but that’s what Sid Meier’s Civilization VII on Xbox Series X|S has…
First reported by Polygon, two parents in the US are suing Epic Games over limited-time sales of Fortnite skins and cosmetics that they argue aren’t really limited time at all, creating a false sense of “FOMO”—a term actually used in the lawsuit—for Fortnite’s younger players. Like many in-game cosmetic storefronts, Fortnite will have daily or…
On January 23, Atari put out a press release disavowing “RealPongCoin” or “$PONG,” a new crypto meme coin whose account on X, “The Everything App,” was launched that same day.

Abiotic Factor is already a massive game; you could easily spend 80+ hours exploring its sprawling, Black Mesa-ish research facility. But that hasn’t stopped developer Deep Field Games further extending the tendrils of its labyrinthine, interdimensional science lab. Last December’s “Holiday Cryosphere” update added a giant, living snowglobe that players could frolic festively around, and…

Like it or not, we’re very much in the world of generative AI now. Massively complex neural networks trained on vast quantities of data, all so we can use it to make pictures of donkeys riding space rockets or tell us which churro coating is the best. I jest, of course, because large language models…
This is it, unambiguously my Computex highlight and also a genuine surprise. I give you the Alienware AW3926QW in all its 39-inch OLED, 5K2K, RGB-stripe, remarkably priced glory. This isn’t actually the first 39-inch 5K2K OLED on the market. Actually, I’ve already reviewed one, the LG Ultragear 45GX950A, and it actually disappointed a little. That…
