Watchmen was released 30 years ago but is still considered required reading by comic book fans. In this episode of Issue at Hand, Susana Polo breaks down how and why the graphic novel became so iconic.

If you've ever gone back and looked at some of the old comic book covers from the '50s and '60s, you might've noticed that most of them were pretty... odd. But why is that? Polygon's resident comics expert, Susana Polo, explains!

Apple today announced the M5 Ultra, which the company says is its most powerful chip ever. The M5 Ultra is built by connecting two dual-die M5 Max chips using Apple's next-generation UltraFusion technology, which is the first time Apple has used a quad-die architecture in an M-series chip. UltraFusion increases inter-die bandwidth to over 4.4TB/s and connection density by more than 6x, allowing the four dies to function as a single processor. The chip includes an CPU with up to 36 cores, contain...

Apple today announced the next-generation Mac mini, which can be configured with an all-new M6 chip or the M5 Pro chip released earlier this year. The M6 chip is equipped with a 12-core CPU and a 12-core GPU, up from a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU in the M5 chip. In addition, the M6 chip features a revamped Neural Engine with dual 16-core engines, which naturally provides up to 2× faster performance compared to the previous single 16-core Neural Engine in Apple's previous chips. Apple said the Ma...

Apple today announced new Mac Studio models with the M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips, the latter of which is the company's most powerful chip ever.

The new ‌Mac Studio‌ also supports genlock over USB-C and can drive up t...

Apple today announced the M6 chip, its first built using a 2-nanometer process and featuring a Dual 16-core Neural Engine. Apple says the 2nm process packs greater transistor density into a smaller die, contributing to the chip's overall gains in performance and power efficiency. The M6 chip features a larger, more powerful 12-core CPU, two more cores than the M5, made up of two super cores, four performance cores, and six efficiency cores. Apple says the chip delivers the world's fastest single...

If there's been one theme I'd pick out from the many of these past few years of gaming discontent, it's the sense of all-out assault on creativity. This is the thing that makes games what they are, that makes them successful, that earns people money and gives people a reason to do the job in the first place, but it's also the thing that seems to be valued least at so many of those making the decisions. To those people creativity is something to be funneled, moulded, directed or strictly defined....

Apple's new Apple Watch models will feature upgrades to fitness tracking, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who otherwise characterized this year's changes to the lineup as "minor." Gurman said much the same in July, pointing to faster performance and better health and fitness tracking in the absence of any design overhaul.Related Roundup: Apple Watch 11Tags: Bloomberg, Mark GurmanBuyer's Guide: Apple Watch (Don't Buy)This article, "Apple Watch Series 12 to Get Fitness Tracking Upgrades" fir...

Up close and personal.

Reports and rumors suggest the next high-end MacBook Pro that Apple will release might not be a ‌MacBook Pro‌ at all. It could actually be something altogether new and more exciting – a "MacBook Ultra" – marketed as the company's top-tier laptop offering. The device is likely to sit above the current M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pros, rather than replace them, suggesting that they will remain on sale. One thing to state up front is that Apple is expected to stick with the existing M5 Pro and M5 Max...

The Duskbloods is already looking like it's going to be a very popular game. Developer FromSoftware revealed the game's network test, which finished yesterday, attracted more player applications than those for Elden Ring Nightreign, despite it only being available for one platform: Switch 2.

Ahead of the announcement of the iPhone 18 Pro, ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max, and first foldable iPhone next month, a new study from trade-in comparison site SellCell finds that most iPhones lose a considerable amount of trade-in value in the 10-day window between Apple's announcement and the actual product launch. Looking at the launch of the iPhone 15, iPhone 16, and iPhone 17 lineups, SellCell found that trade-in values dropped for 117 of 156 models tracked, or 75% of the total, between announcement d...

Two games, one cartridge. The Case of the Golden Idol and Rise of the Golden Idol, widely regarded as two of the finest detective games in recent memory, are being bundled together in one swanky physical package from Super Rare Games. Both titles will be included in one cartridge for Switch, and buyers have the choice between a standard version (3,500 copies available) and a deluxe edition (1,500 copies available). Standard is priced at £37.20 while the deluxe is naturally a bit more costly at £...

A very welcome TKL update that didn't quite leave me speechless.

Clear River Games Development and Limited Run are working on a PC re-release of Terranigma, Quintet's Super Nintendo Entertainment System action-RPG from 1995. I never played Terranigma, for I was raised according to the Holy Maxim that Sega do what Nintendon't. I would sooner have flushed my own blast processor down the toilet before I permitted any associates of Mario under my roof. RPS guides writer Jeremy did play Terranigma, however, and says it's one of his favourite games ever. For the sa...

Last week, Rockstar Games' parent company Take-Two were filed subpoenas asking for info from Microsoft and Discord to help uncover the identity of the hacker or hackers behind the ongoing GTA 6 leaks. With clips of the game continuing to hit the net and the potential threat of story spoilers starting to drop soon, it was an understandable request for the company to have made, even if questions could be raised about the amount of data it might give them access to. One of the two companies subpoen...
