If you were asked to name some of this year’s new games with the highest Steam scores, names like Split Fiction and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 will probably spring to mind. However, unless you played the original or you're a big Metroidvania fan, you’ll probably overlook Ender Magnolia.

In Grimoire Groves you explore an enchanted forest and grow plant creatures in your garden.

The Remote Desktop app for Windows is (almost) dead; long live the Windows app. Microsoft said on Monday that its legacy Remote Desktop client, which has already been replaced on other platforms, will no longer be supported on Windows after May 27, 2025. But you aren't losing any functionality here. You can still do tech support for your parents using built-in Windows functionality or the modern Windows app, which is somehow both the simplest and most confusing naming convention Microsoft's mark...

Apple last week introduced new versions of the iPad, iPad Air, MacBook Air, and Mac Studio, with plans to launch the devices on March 12. It's already Wednesday, March 12 in New Zealand and Australia, which means customers who pre-ordered one of Apple's new iPads or Macs have started receiving their devices.

The trio of NES Mario Bros. games is finally complete!

Destiny 2 has experienced some pretty wild and problematic technical hiccups in recent months, but with Heresy Act 2 going live, Bungie has just made an unbelievable blunder.

iRobot just announced some new Roomba vacuums and they feature interesting capabilities. The Roomba 205 DustCompactor Combo Robot is being advertised as "the industry's first onboard mechanical debris-compacting system." In other words, it squeezes dust and debris together like, well, a garbage compactor. This allows users to go eight weeks without having to empty the vacuum. It also eliminates the need for a dedicated debris bin.  Otherwise, the 205 is a full-featured hybrid vacuum/mop. There’s...

Gore Magala makes a triumphant and terrifying return in Monster Hunter Wilds. First introduced in Monster Hunter 4, the flagship monster is as deadly as ever, making use of its aggressive nature to inflict the challenging Frenzy state. Whether or not you’ve fought the creature in the past, there’s a lot to keep in mind...

Jin Dahaad is one of the biggest creatures in Monster Hunter Wilds, and possibly the most complicated fight of them all. The monster covers its body in ridges, which need to be broken before you can start dealing serious damage. This is, as expected, easier said than done. If you’re scratching your head over this...

Monster Hunter Wilds wouldn’t be complete without a flagship monster. Guardian Arkveld is a central piece in the main story, and a recurring face to smack that presents a challenge each time. While you’ll get a taste of the fight before the actual confrontation, you should prepare accordingly, learning what to expect and how to...

The culmination of Monster Hunter Wilds is at the hands of Zoh Shia. This monster is the definition of a final boss, and a fitting end to the Low Rank section of Capcom’s latest entry in the hunting series. It’s a spectacle that towers over the likes of Jin Dahaad in scale, and one you...

One day after X went down for hours, security researchers are throwing cold water on Elon Musk’s public comments about who might be behind the DDoS attack. On Monday, as X was still struggling to remain online, Musk said in a post that the site had been brought down by a “massive cyberattack” executed by “a large, coordinated group and/or a country.” Later that day, in an interview with Fox News, he said the attack involved "IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area." He never provided eviden...

Although the premium tiers are still there for some paywalled features, the only platforms where you can't listen for free are now smartwatches without a paired phone — a niche within a niche, if ever there was one. Before Tuesday's announcement, you could lis...
