With AirPods Pro 3 widely expected to arrive in 2025, prospective buyers now face a familiar dilemma: snap up the proven AirPods Pro 2 at today's prices, or hold off for the next‑generation model that could raise the bar once again.

The Witcher 3 remains one of the best RPGs of all time. As I type that, I feel confident that few will dispute such a statement; even if it isn’t your favorite, the way CD Projekt Red weaves narrative, exploration, and action is masterful. Yet if I were to pick out one area that holds it back, it would be the combat. It’s functional and flashy, but a little one-note. Based on my second time playing it, Crimson Desert could be the game I’m looking for - but I desperately want a better look at how...

Marvel Rivals has been flying high ever since it launched at the end of last year, climbing to the top of the pile when it comes to hero shooters. In a few days, Overwatch 2 will release its new Stadium mode, one of the most radical and experimental things Blizzard has ever done with its FPS game, and many are claiming that such innovation and effort has only arrived due to the pressure applied by Marvel Rivals. While I can see why some are coming to that conclusion, it appears to be pretty far ...

If MachineGames is to be believed, the basement level of the Vatican is exempt from the strict Catholic doctrine that dominates the jurisdiction of the Holy See above ground. It's down there that you'll find the temples dedicated to faiths that sort of resemble Christianity if you squint a bit and turn your head on your side. And the underground boxing ring set up by Mussolini's plundering soldiers, who'll only let you in if you're wearing one of their infamous black shirts.

Welcome to your Friday edition of TMA. It’s a public holiday where I’m from, so it’s a shorter briefing than usual. Barring a barrage of new cars (tariffs? shh!) revealed at the New York International Auto Show, it’s been a relatively quiet week, but not without a bit of drama. “You know, they say money can’t buy happiness. And… yeah, OK… I guess that’s true. God knows I’ve tried. But it can buy a Cybertruck, and that’s pretty sick, right? …Right?? Fuck, I’m so alone.” That’s what a pretty reali...

Q: I’m traveling soon and plan to bring all the devices I usually use, including my smartphone, tablet and laptop. What should I buy to keep everything charged?

If you’re heading to another country, you should also include an outlet adapter. And if you’re flying, there are a few TSA rules you shoul...

Backup break up. Just when you thought the messaging around Nintendo's 'Switch 2 Edition' games couldn't get any more confusing, another discovery comes along to stir things up even further. Looking at the game's store pages, it seems some upcoming titles won't support the Nintendo Switch Online Cloud Save feature — or maybe they will, it's all a bit confusing (thanks for the heads up, Eurogamer). As was pointed out in a recent Resetera thread by user RandomlyRandom67, the Tears of the Kingdom N...

Fists, feet, and weapons too. If you cast your mind back to 2023's Wanted: Dead, a game this writer just couldn't really get along with on Xbox, you may remember that, despite myriad issues, it still came close to being quite good. Well, sort of. Soleil's action effort combined guns and fisticuffs into "Gun-Fu" of a sort, and to rather special effect in places, giving us plenty to enjoy visually, whilst also letting itself down overall with shoddy controls and some terrible enemy placement.
