Sonic and the Black Knight is allegedly one of those games, but associate editor Charles Harte remembers playing it as a nine-year-old and feeling like it might be the coolest game of all time.

The company is also rumored to introduce a new PPS charging solution, which could offer noticeably faster…

That matters if you like the sharper look of 1440p but still play competitively. It’s still early, though. This is being shown as a panel demo by Tianma at CES…
