Want to find every Doom The Dark Ages Demonic Essence? The easiest and most efficient way to strengthen the Doom Slayer is to collect Demonic Essence, a special item that permanently enhances your abilities. You’re going to have to work for these enhancements as they’re held by demonic leaders, unique variants of demons that are not only stronger, but also feature different attacks. While it’s certainly helpful to have access to all Doom The Dark Ages upgrades and weapons, you can’t go wrong whe...

Mark Barlet, founder of high-profile gaming accessibility charity AbleGamers, has been accused of fostering abuse at the non-profit for more than two decades.

Lionsgate first announced the John Wick spinoff Ballerina in 2017 and put it on the fast track to production in 2019. That track turned out to be very bumpy. The film was initially scheduled for release in June 2024 but got pushed back to this year. In the interim, John Wick co-director Chad Stahelski assumed...

Anyone that's played a FromSoftware Souls game knows how it tells its stories. You meet a wide range of characters, all of which mostly just talk at you in varyingly cryptic ways. There's also tiny bits of lore offered up from weapons and items too, all of which build up a messy picture. But in something like the upcoming Elden Ring Nightreign, where the main focus is gameplay that encourages you to constantly be on the move, I've been left wondering how its story will play out. As it turns out,...

If you've grown tired of Wuthering Waves, Genshin Impact, Zenless Zone Zero, or Honkai Star Rail, there's a new anime RPG in town you won't want to miss. Silver Palace has only just been revealed, but the steampunk action game is already taking the internet by storm. With a gorgeous Victorian world, frenetic combat, and even a horse that can drift, Silver Palace is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated games around.

As much as I love Lego, modular tech still has many more bricks to lay before I'll be convinced it's got a solid foundation.

Student lounge around. It's been nearly six weeks since the Switch 2 Direct, and we're now only three-and-a-half more away from the system's launch. Overall, we were pretty impressed with the hour-long presentation Nintendo assembled to officially pull back the curtain at the start of April. Yes, some mixed messaging and unanswered questions could — and should — have been avoided, but the reveal itself contained loads of great games and a decent look at the hardware. A solid opening salvo after ...

Remotely controlling the shutter on your iPhone's camera lets you include yourself in the photo while avoiding the limitations of a selfie. For example, it allows you to take a picture of a wider scene with you included in the frame, which is ideal for landscape shots or group photos. If your iPhone is on a tripod, taking the shot remotely also reduces the risk of camera shake. Here's how to do it – and you don't need an Apple Watch. There are more ways than one to take a picture on your iPhone ...

"Soulframe has the bones of a great action-RPG," I wrote last November. Developers Digital Extremes continue to graft flesh to those bones, plumping the world-building's marrow and cranking the sinews of the combat. The game's Preludes edition - a sort of relentlessly expanding limited-access beta - continues to be updated with new weapons, faction features, player Pacts (classes, essentially), areas, and enemies. They've also made some revisions, which include turning the Idol system into a dis...

As first reported by CNBC, Microsoft will be laying off 3 percent of its global workforce in an aim to streamline its operations and thin out its management structure. The layoffs will be felt across all teams, levels and regions within the company and are not performance-based. In a statement to CNBC, a Microsoft spokesperson said, "We continue to implement organizational changes necessary to best position the company for success in a dynamic marketplace." This latest round of layoffs follows d...

Apple has partnered with brain-computer interface maker Synchron to develop tech that lets consumers control devices like iPhones with their thoughts, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. This is primarily intended to help people with medical conditions that limit hand use, such as spinal cord injuries or diseases like ALS. Here's the gist. Synchron has been developing a stent-like implant that's placed in a vein on top of the brain's motor cortex. It's called the Stentrode and it r...

Although it’s been a modest success on Steam, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre deserves more attention. Mechanically, it puts a smart, sinister spin on Dead By Daylight, pitting multiple survivors (or, as the game refers to them, ‘victims’) against a trio of killers, each of them outfitted with unique, sometimes complementary abilities. More significantly, developer Gun goes to great lengths to capture the visuals and atmosphere of the original 1974 movie - if film-to-game adaptations have a reputati...

Yet another leak has appeared that potentially reveals some of the core specs for the so far unannounced budget-friendly AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT. While the details aren’t yet confirmed, this new leak suggests a gaming GPU that is likely to compete directly with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti. It’s fair to say that this newest generation of best graphics cards has seen more competition than in previous years, but especially in the mid-to-lower tier of the market, even if Nvidia continues to hold mo...

What is the Battlefield 6 release date? When Battlefield is firing on all cylinders, it’s a thing to behold: tactical, dynamic, and immersive, there isn’t much else like it out there. Some games have tried to emulate the feel of Battlefield, admittedly with mixed results, so a brand new, numbered entry in one of the best FPS series is something to get excited about. The last Battlefield game that graced our screens was 2042, and it left a bitter taste for some, having eschewed some of the core p...

Handheld gaming has evolved through many phases over the years, and Valve, despite having its own hardware, is embracing more and more of it. In a recent news post, Valve announced it is expanding the Steam Deck Verified categorization system with a new SteamOS Compatibility system.

Valve has just announced that it’s introducing another compatibility check system for gaming handhelds, this time to verify whether third-party machines running Steam Deck OS can still run certain games. The move comes as the Steam Deck compatibility system comes under fire for verifying games that barely run on the handheld, while new SteamOS handhelds, such as the Lenovo Legion Go S, are waiting in the wings. Despite hefty competition, the Steam Deck remains the best handheld you can buy for g...

Nothing says "please, leave me alone" while you're in public like a good pair of over-ear, noise-canceling headphones. The Beats Studio Pro — which are, coincidentally, a good pair of over-ear, noise-canceling headphones — are on sale right now. You can snap up a pair for $170. That's a discount of 51 percent (or $180) and only $10 more than the lowest price we've seen to date for them. The Beats Studio Pro arrived in 2023 and we gave them a score of 81 in our review. While they aren't among our...

New Minecraft updates vary in importance. Sometimes, Mojang releases a Snapshot and, while it makes a few nice, little adjustments, business in the blocky world continues basically as normal. Other times, everything changes. In recent weeks, the mechanics (and recipe) behind leashes have been overhauled and there have been significant alterations for ranged combat. Now, one of the rarest and most useful items in all of Minecraft, previously confined to Nether fortresses and desert pyramids is av...

Magic: The Gathering’s push to make its licensed Universes Beyond sets a bigger part of the game has been controversial, but the success of these collaborations means they’re assuredly here to stay. Case in point: pre-orders of the four Final Fantasy commander decks revealed yesterday are already sold out at Amazon and other leading Magic...

iOS 18 introduced an accessibility feature called Music Haptics that has value for everyone. When the feature is turned on, the iPhone's Taptic Engine taps and vibrates to match the audio of a song playing in Apple Music, Shazam, and supported third-party apps, so long as the device is connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. With iOS 19, Music Haptics will get better in two ways. Apple today announced that Music Haptics will be even more customizable starting later this year. First, users will...

The second season of the Fallout TV series doesn't even have a concrete release date in December yet, but Amazon has already renewed the show for a third season. Amazon has announced that it has greenlit the new season at its annual presentation in New York City. The company said Fallout has had more than 100 million viewers since it dropped on Prime Video in April 2024 and remains one of its top-three most watched titles ever.  If you'll recall, the live adaptation was so well-received, Fallout...
