EA has shared more details on EA Sports FC Tactical, its previously announced free-to-play turn-based football spin-off, confirming it'll launch for iOS and Android "early 2024". EA Sports FC Tactical was first mentioned during EA's grand unveiling for its new-look football series back in July. At the time, information on the game was limited, but the publisher has now shared a little more as pre-registration opens via the iOS App Store and Google Play. EA says Tactical is all about "in-game str...

It's a beautiful day on the island. The waves are nibbling playfully at the shoreline, the farmyard animals are shuffling about happily in their pens, your little sister is bouncing around being a perfect nuisance like always. Time to get busy, then. The cows need to be milked, the eggs need to be gathered from the chicken coop, the seeds need to be sowed and watered. You might find an hour to do a bit scavenging, here and there - gathering mussels from the rocks at low tide, or putting aside so...

According to an important notice on DriveThruRPG, PDFs for the Mistborn Adventure Game will be leaving the digital storefront at the end of 2023.

EA is making a turn-based strategy game based on… soccer? That’s the bizarre premise behind the upcoming EA Sports FC Tactical, a mobile title heading to iOS and Android in early 2024. The company says the most peculiar installment in its decades-old franchise (formerly FIFA) results in “authentic football action like never before.” As its description suggests, matches will be simulated, so you won’t directly control players’ actions like in traditional sports games. Instead, it focuses on in-ga...

Haus will take players on a bizarre journey to the sunny coast of Malibu in November.

Netflix used to make its money on physical media, mailing DVDs to customers, and it looks like the company’s trending toward the analog once again. The streaming giant has, strangely, decided to open a number of brick-and-mortar retail locations, called Netflix House, as originally reported by Bloomberg. The stores will sell merchandise based on hit Netflix shows, so you can finally snag that Lincoln Lawyer coffee mug you’ve always dreamed of. Netflix House establishments will also offer dining ...

Apple's next-generation iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will be equipped with Qualcomm's latest cellular modem, according to technology analyst Jeff Pu, enabling faster and more power efficient 5G connectivity for the devices. In a research note this week with investment firm Haitong International Securities, Pu said the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will be equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon X75 modem. However, he expects the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus to retain the Snapdr...

League of Legends may not always be my cup of tea, but its various champions, deep lore, catchy music, and aesthetically pleasing skins most certainly are. From the Sailor Moon-like Star Guardian line to the stunning Spirit Blossom collection, Riot's lineup of skins is tempting, even to players who generally avoid dabbling with in-game cosmetics. Some of my favorite skins are from LoL's virtual K-pop group, KDA, and it looks like we may get a boy band line to go alongside the girls' now.

Threads is now rolling out a pair of useful updates as Meta tries to give the app some more momentum. One of the new features is an edit button, which will help folks avoid having to repost something when they want to correct a mistake. X (formerly Twitter) took 16 years to add an edit button, and then it placed it behind the Twitter Blue/X Premium paywall. Threads took just over three months to introduce a similar option, which is free to all users and will be available on mobile and the web. A...

What are the MW3 beta rewards?

The combustion engine is a marvel of engineering, but has also majorly contributed to air pollution. After all, there are over 1.4 billion combustion engine vehicles roaming the planet. That’s a whole lot of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and hydrocarbons being released into the atmosphere. While we wait (and wait) for the eventual rise of electric vehicles, some areas have taken it upon themselves to solve the issue of air pollution related to combustion engines by, well, banning the vehicles ...

Microsoft is planning its assault on the Holiday season with the obvious intent to compete on price, thanks to a brand-new Xbox Series S Starter Bundle announced today.

iPhones will not adopt resin coated copper (RCC) foil for their printed circuit boards until 2025, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Kuo says that Apple will not adopt this technology in 2024 because of its "fragile characteristics" and "inability to pass drop tests." If Apple and its supplier Ajinomoto can improve the RCC material before the third quarter of 2024, the high-end iPhone 17 models could use it. Resin coated copper does not sound exciting, but it has the potential to slim dow...

Conventional wisdom about coin flips may have been turned on its head. A global team of researchers investigating the statistical and physical nuances of coin tosses worldwide concluded (via Phys.org) that a coin is 50.8% likely to land on the same side it started on, altering one of society’s most traditional assumptions about random decision-making that dates back at least to the Roman Empire. The team appeared to validate a smaller-scale 2007 study by Stanford mathematician Persi Diaconis, wh...

Good news, people who prefer their videogame graphics crispy rather than hazy and rainbow-edged! Ubisoft are working on an Assassin's Creed: Mirage patch that will let you toggle off chromatic aberration - aka the blurring of outlines and details for artistic effect, which you might consider appropriate to a game subtitled "Mirage", but which some people absolutely despise.

Earth’s orbit is getting crowded. Last year, a record 2,409 objects were sent to orbit, the bulk of which were satellites settling into the increasingly cluttered region 1,200 miles above our planet’s surface known as low Earth orbit. Another 2,000-plus satellites have joined them so far this year, according to the UN’s Online Index of Objects Launched into Outer Space. As the presence of artificial objects in orbit grows, so too does the accumulation of debris, or space junk — and the risk of c...

‘Stardew using the wrong pronouns for me feels very alienating and distant’.

Microsoft has unveiled a new Xbox Series X/S Starter Bundle, which'll include three months of Game Pass Ultimate when it launches worldwide on 31st October. All in all, it's a pretty straightforward offering, packing in the Xbox Series S (which comes with 512GB storage), a wireless controller, and the aforementioned three months of Game Pass Ultimate - all for £249.99. It's the latter that sets the Starter Bundle apart from Microsoft's usual £250 Xbox Series S offering, of course, meaning you're...

Civilization 6 is the benchmark for expansive, sprawling, and highly detailed strategy sims. You take its in-depth systems and attention to detail and combine them with the survival-based, often grueling aesthetic and style of Frostpunk, then maybe throw in a bit of Cities Skylines 2 and its focus on developing complex urban centers with a real sense of life. If that sounds like a mix for success - and if you want something else to look forward to, as well as Firaxis’ upcoming Civilization 7 - t...

Is Persona 3 Reload Steam Deck compatible? You won't need to unlock a hidden power within to play Persona 3 Reload on the Steam Deck, as the newest addition to the Persona series has received the highest appraisal from Valve. Experiencing the updated graphics and signature style of this beloved Atlus RPG will be perfect to play on the go, if the previous games in the series are anything to go by. The Persona 3 Reload system requirements ask for 30GB of install space, and although this isn't as d...

According to the filing, the investigation is presently a "fact-finding inquiry," and there's no indication at this time that Progress has "violated federal securities laws." The company intends to cooperate with the SEC. One report by cybersecurity software company Emsi...
