Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra controller review
—
by
Brave is the company that dares slap RGB and an LCD screen onto its premium game controller and still claim to have better battery life than Sony’s DualSense, but Turtle Beach has done it with the Stealth Ultra. This gamepad looks a little like the designers at Turtle Beach sat down to trade ideas on…

I can’t believe how well this new roguelite combines twin-stick shooting, pinball and Sonic the Hedgehog-style spindashing
—
by
Go Mecha Ball is one of those games you can just look at and know that it feels great to play. Movement so slick that the controls feel like second nature from the moment you pick up a controller, levels built to make you roll, roll roll until you reach the finish. After watching the…

This browser-based ‘endless crafting game’ starts you off with fire and water, but it quickly escalates to God, the Big Bang, and ‘Yin-Yoda’
—
by
A toadstool, the Universe, King Midas, the Golem. This is not a free association exercise, but rather a list of concoctions my coworkers and I have produced in Infinite Craft, a deceptively simple browser game by developer Neal Agarwal, who you may know for creating a delightfully “unhinged browser game about passwords” last year. Infinite…

Yo dawg, I heard you like screens, so I put a screen on your CPU fan
—
by
Screens on AIO water cooling blocks are obviously a bit of a thing. But a screen on an air cooler? Give it up for the Lamptron ST060, delivering what you probably didn’t know you need at a price you almost certainly don’t want to pay. The ruse here involves a mostly conventional CPU air cooler,…

Palworld vs. Ark: Survival Evolved shows just how much survival games have changed in 9 years, even when they seem so similar
—
by
Palworld is an undeniably huge hit, despite debate still raging as to whether its Pokémon-like creature designs are overly similar, plagiarized or even stolen. Beyond those creatures, Palworld isn’t very Pokémon-like at all—but it is quite a bit like another survival crafting sandbox: Ark: Survival Evolved. You know, the one with the dinosaurs. Why have…

Razer Iskur V2 gaming chair review
—
by
I really wanted to love the new Razer Iskur V2. And why wouldn’t I? It improves on practically everything from its predecessor—better materials, refined design, and a much more versatile lumbar system. Every complaint I had with the previous Razer Iskur, which, by the way, has been my main chair for the last three years,…

Ray tracing made possible on 42-year-old ZX Spectrum: ‘reasonably fast, if you consider 17 hours per frame to be reasonably fast’
—
by
Ray tracing has been around a surprisingly long time in computer graphics. It was used to generate images in the 1960s, and by the ’80s new algorithms had been created including path tracing. Yet the “holy grail of rendering” remained a distant dream for early home machines like the ZX Spectrum. You need only look…

Asus TUF Gaming RTX 4080 Super review
—
by
Asus latest big boi GPU is the TUF Gaming RTX 4080 Super, a reference priced, modestly overclocked card from the classic Nvidia board partner. That makes it a $999 GPU, $200 less than the original RTX 4080, but with essentially the same performance. Job done. And if you can’t get your hands on an Nvidia…

—
by
Diablo 4’s newest boss summoning item, Igneous Core, is your ticket to the Vault of the Loom and its boss: the Echo of Malphas. The robotic demon drops powerful loot for you and your construct companion, but takes a bit of preparation. If you’re near level 100 and are in world tier 4, you’ll need…
