Reddit has announced several new tools that seem like they were designed to encourage more lurkers to participate in discussions on the website. One of the new tools called Rules Check will make it easy to see if what you're posting potentially goes against a subreddit's rules. Before submitting your post, you can click the wand icon in the lower right-hand corner of the post composer, which you can see in the photo above. Doing that will highlight anything in your post that may be breaking a su...

Multiplayer game modes are core to Split Fiction, a mandatorily cooperative game that’s ostensibly about the creative process but is more preoccupied with “cyber ninjas” and anthropomorphic hot dogs. In Split Fiction, developer Hazelight Studios’ follow-up to its enormously successful It Takes Two, you and a friend play as the writers Mio and Zoe. Mio...

How much is your data worth?

Back in October 2023, former Bullfrog chappie and Fable developer Dene Carter sidled up out of nowhere and released Moonring, a terrific open world RPG in the Ultima tradition of top-down, tile-based bump-attacking. It had crisp neon sprites floating on seas of arcade cabinet black, an enticing mythology, elusive magic systems, procedural dungeons and dialogue based on remembering or deducing keywords. All this for free - statistically my second favourite price tag after the developer actually p...

This month, we at AMD celebrate two significant milestones in the Radeon story. First, the 25th anniversary of Radeon, a journey that began in 2000 with the ATI Radeon DDR card. Back then, 32 MB of VRAM, a 143 MHz clocks, and 30M transistors were cutting-edge tools that sparked your early adventures. Today, those specs are a nostalgic memory, dwarfed by the leaps we’ve made together culminating in the 24GB of memory, multi-GHz clocks, and nearly 60B transistors of RDNA 3 cards driving the immers...

The tables turn. When you look at PS5 sales on a worldwide scale, there's no denying that Sony's latest hardware family is doing very well. Over in Japan, however, the console has struggled to dethrone the Nintendo Switch, consistently selling significantly fewer units on a weekly basis. That changes this week with the recent launch of Monster Hunter Wilds. Since Capcom's latest flagship title isn't available on Switch, it seems fans have no other choice but to grab a PS5 (what, you think folks ...

Nearly 50 years after they were first launched, Voyager 1 and 2 are still traveling around interstellar space — though they've faced some setbacks over the years. Now, NASA has announced that the twin Voyager spacecraft are losing some of their features in a bid to extend their lifespans in the face of a diminishing power supply. On February 25, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) turned off Voyager 1's cosmic ray subsystem experiment and on March 25, it will shut down Voyager 2's low-energy...

We are eagerly awaiting benchmarks for Apple's fastest-ever M3 Ultra chip in the Mac Studio, but we will have to settle with the first results for the new iPad Air for now. The first Geekbench 6 results for the new iPad Air with the M3 chip are entirely unsurprising, but sometimes no news is good news. Given there were already Macs with the M3 chip, we know that it is around 20% faster than the M2 chip in terms of multi-core CPU performance, and the new iPad Air has similar gains as expected. Th...

Space Marine 2 and Darktide are bombastic delights for 40k fans, but for me, Warhammer Vermintide 2 still holds the crown as the best co-op Warhammer game, at least if we're talking about the more fantastical side of the Warhammer world. Astonishingly, Vermintide 2 turns seven years old this coming weekend, and if you’re eager to jump back in for the occasion then a new anniversary event is the ideal excuse.

Split Fiction is one of the best co-op games we've played recently, offering sharp split-screen gameplay across a wide range of platforms, including PS5, PS5 Pro, PC and Xbox Series X/S. Perhaps that's no surprise, given that this is the latest title from the team at Hazelight Studios known for It Takes Two, A Way Out and, under Starbreeze, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. But on what platform does it play best - and is this a rare example of a perfect Unreal Engine 5 release?

It's no secret that I love Diablo. Perhaps my favorite videogame franchise ever made, Sanctuary's dreary hopelessness is, for some reason, my paradise - my ghoulish home away from home. But the past couple of years have seen myriad new ARPGs challenge Blizzard's throne, with games like Path of Exile 2 and Last Epoch taking different approaches to the tried and tested dungeon crawler formula. Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel is yet another rival, and it's just dropped a huge new update. So, whether yo...

In a blog post today about Apple's foldable iPhone plans, Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said the rumored iPhone 17 Air will have a "high-density" battery. Specifically, he said that Apple's first foldable iPhone model "will use the same high-density battery cells as the ultra-thin iPhone 17." While there have been some concerns that the iPhone 17 Air's ultra-thin design would result in limited battery life, due to size constraints, the device might end up beating expectations in this r...
