Several months ago, accessory company Hyper introduced a set of three USB chargers designed with travel in mind, featuring compact designs based on GaN technology and interchangeable charging heads for convenient international travel. I've spent some time testing out the 70W ($59.99) and 100W ($89.99) versions of the new HyperJuice charger line, and Hyper has more recently added an even more powerful 145W version ($119.99) to the family. All three of the chargers are currently part of Hyper's sp...

Escape From Tarkov has never been one to chase live service trends. Its position as the king of extraction shooters and reputation as one of the most realistic, hardcore FPS games has served it well enough. However, its spinoff Escape From Tarkov Arena today rolls out its first ever battle pass, which - thanks to its connection to the main game - brings custom weapon skins to EFT for the first time.

The cult of chicken jockey has escalated its ritual ceremonies.

Following U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to pause some of the exorbitant tariffs that he put in place earlier today, he spoke to the press at the White House and provided some commentary that could be a positive for Apple. When asked whether he would consider exempting some U.S. companies from the tariffs in the future, Trump said that he would. "As time goes by, we're going to take a look at it," he said. "There are some that by the nature of the company get hit a little bit harder, and...

Let's see how it matches up. I don't know about you, but I'm already giving my shelf space a worried look as I consider the number of Switch 2 launch titles I want to pick up. It's been just about a week since Nintendo revealed the Switch 2 and its 21 separate launch games (24 if you include those dropping on the NSO GameCube library), which, the more you think about it, is a truly wild number. Just for reference, the only Nintendo consoles that have pulled together a bigger launch line-up are t...

The mesmerizing hordes, huge lineup of characters, and flashy weapons of Vampire Survivors make it one of the greatest bullet hell games we’ve ever seen.

The Molasses Flood has been working on Project Sirius for years, and there's still nothing to show for it

Sony is beefing up the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog for Extra and Premium subscribers with a bevy of new additions for April. The headliner here is Hogwarts Legacy. This is one of the biggest blockbusters of the past couple of years, even in the face of J.K. Rowling doing her darndest to destroy her personal Hogwarts legacy with anti-trans nonsense. For the uninitiated, it’s an open-world action RPG set at Harry Potter’s favorite wizarding school. However, the game takes place in the 1890s, ove...

Apple stock is on the rise after U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to pause most tariffs for a 90-day period.

The moment I knew Blue Prince was my kind of game was when I found a scrap of paper strongly encouraging me to take notes in a journal. You see, I’m something of a note-taking game aficionado. I want to jot down codes, diagram a puzzle, connect the dots. And Blue Prince might be one...

The release of Monster Hunter Wilds brought with it the usual comments about the hypocrisy of a series that wants to both protect ecosystems and grind them up for parts. "When will Monster Hunter just be honest about its desire to endlessly turn dragons into pants," we lamented to ourselves. "When will the Monster Hunters recognise - nay, embrace the fact that they are the biggest Monsters of all". We could have saved ourselves a few thousand words and just pointed at Hunters Inc, instead. It's ...

Would you still brush your teeth every day? The horror in Francis Coulombe’s RPG Look Outside is all encompassing. There is the cosmic element: something incomprehensible is happening beyond the walls of ...

A little help from your friends.

Masayoshi Soken has earned himself a reputation as one of the most iconic composers in videogames. Over more than a decade working with FF14, his name has become almost as synonymous with the series as the legendary Nobuo Uematsu, and that success led him to take on the role as lead composer for Final Fantasy 16. When I asked him whether he’d repeat the challenge of handling two games at the same time in the future, however, he was adamant that he’d “never want to do anything like that again.”

Part of the fun of cultural acceleration is that it’s now possible to feel nostalgia about things that happened as little as a few months ago. These days, fads and memes and modes of entertainment emerge in our shared zeitgeist like bubbles popping up to the surface in a boiling soup, and they pop almost...
