Since 2017’s Assassin’s Creed Origins, Ubisoft has continued to expand on the open-world possibilities of its marquee franchise. While this push for more has been received well by fans, there’s been a distinct lack of focus on the tenets of Assassin’s Creed that made this series what it is today: parkour, stealth, and assassination. Wanting to celebrate 15 years of Assassin’s Creed, Ubisoft Bordeaux created Assassin’s Creed Mirage, a lean back-to-basics entry that’s the first in years you can beat in less than 80 hours.  Through its roughly 15-hour story, players control Basim Ibn Is’haq, whom we first saw as…

Though Ubisoft has never confirmed the existence of an in-development remake of 2013’s excellent Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, it has struggled to contain rumors that it’s in the works. Between leaked art books, insider reports, and more, all signs point to it being real. Now, Ubisoft has added fuel to the fire with a pretty straightforward tease. The company released an Assassin’s Creed franchise update today – read Game Informer’s full report on it here – and in it, new Head of Content Jean Guesdon, who was also creative director on Black Flag, alluded to the rumored remake.  “Speculation around Assassin’s…

Apple launching a truly affordable MacBook was something many had been waiting for. The MacBook Neo was announced with a starting price of $599, making it the most accessible entry point into the MacBook lineup. At first glance, it sounds like a dream device for students, casual users, and anyone who wants macOS without spending nearly a thousand dollars. But once you dig into the details, it becomes clear that Apple cut a few too many corners to hit that price tag. Some of these compromises make an older MacBook Air, especially the M4 model, a far better long-term buy.…

Soon after Google gave us our first glimpse of the Pixel 10a, it attracted plenty of heat. Looks identical to its predecessor. A no-upgrade chip situation. A similar status for the camera. And display. And battery. That’s a lot to take in.   It’s almost as if Google pulled an Apple. And somehow, did worse.  But there’s more to this phone than meets the eye. I have only had the chance to push it as my daily driver for a week, which is not enough for a full review. But that spell still gave me enough encouragement to keep driving it…

Apple has launched its most affordable MacBook yet, and as earlier leaks suggested, it’s called the MacBook Neo. Priced at only $599, it costs almost half as much as the latest M5 MacBook Air. But the big question is: did Apple cut too many corners to hit that price point, and whether you would be better off splurging for the MacBook Air instead? Let’s find out. The price tag – the part everyone actually cares about Let’s get this out of the way first. The MacBook Neo starts at $599 for 256GB storage, or $699 if you upgrade to 512GB…

Starting at $599, the device is the cheapest MacBook the company has released in years and is aimed at students, first-time Mac users, and buyers considering Chromebooks or lower-end Windows laptops.

The Neo features a 13-inch display, 8GB of RAM, and…
