During yesterday's earnings call, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the company's March quarter hadn't been impacted by Trump's tariffs because it was able to build up supply, but it will take a hit in the current quarter that ends in June.

Sometimes when a game draws from too many places for inspiration, it can end up being a bit of a muddled, disconnected mess. However, if you expertly pluck only the coolest elements from your peers and throw your own unique visual style over the top, then you might strike a winning formula. That’s exactly the kind of game The Shadow Syndicate appears to be. Fully revealed for the first time, it’s an action game with flavors of LA Noire, Hitman, GTA, and Max Payne, and I can’t wait to play it.

The Trump administration's preliminary 2026 budget proposes the biggest single-year cut to NASA funding in the agency's 67-year history. The cuts are part of the White House's broader government "skinny budget," which aligns with Elon Musk's DOGE wishlist. The NASA portion would gut the agency’s science programs, cancel the Gateway space station project and phase out the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion capsule after a measly three flights. Trump's proposal would cut NASA's funding by ...

Stellaris steps outside of developer Paradox’s wheelhouse in a few ways. It’s more of a 4X game than their traditional grand-strategy stylings, and eschews historically based period drama in favor of the fantasy of alien species clashing across the galaxy. Nevertheless, it’s been a tremendous success, and remains a stalwart of the Steam charts as we approach its ninth anniversary this month. To celebrate, the studio is giving us Stellaris 4.0, a major redesign of some core systems aimed at makin...
