I try to play as broad a swathe of games as I can, including as many of the major releases as I am able to get to. Baldur's Gate 3 garnered near-universal praise when it arrived in 2023, and I was interested in trying it. But when I watched gameplay videos, the user interface seemed distressingly busy. There were far too many icons at the bottom of the screen and my brain crumbled at the sight of them. I am yet to try Baldur's Gate 3. Two years later, I had similar feelings ahead of checking out...

Apple Intelligence features are no longer marketed as being "available now," following a U.S. National Advertising Division (NAD) inquiry. In a press release today, the NAD said it recommended that Apple discontinue or modify the "available now" text on the Apple Intelligence page, given it falsely conveyed that all of the features listed on the page were available at the time the text was first added. Apple disagreed, but it chose to respect the recommendation. "While we disagree with the NAD's...

Righto, Diablo 4 season 8 is starting next week, and today Blizzard have dropped a whole bunch of details on it ahead of its release on April 29th, so let's see what they are! First up, there's that Belial guy who the season is named after. He's back, but his "motive is unknown", and you'll eventually be able to face off against him in a new quest which introduces a couple of new NPCs. That's all well and good, but the big thing this season is its new main mechanic, boss powers.
