As part of our Invincible VS cover story, we got to spend exclusive hands-on time with Dupli-Kate, the latest addition to the roster. Arguably, the most unique fighter in the game, her ability to spawn clones of herself during battle makes her a particularly fearsome opponent. If you’re new to the world of Invincible, Dupli-Kate (real name Katherine Cha) is a member of the young superhero group Teen Team (and later the Guardians of the Globe) who possesses the power to create duplicates of herself. Her clones can think, feel, and perform independently, and they are also telepathically linked to…

Scott Pilgrim EX represents a reunion of sorts for developer Tribute Games. Members of the team worked on 2010’s Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game at Ubisoft and later formed the current studio that developed the well-regarded Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge and Marvel Cosmic Invasion. Tribute has become skilled at creating visually nostalgic beat ‘em ups, and its return to the Scott Pilgrim franchise is no exception. It is, however, light on surprises or mechanical innovation.Watch Our Scott Pilgrim EX Review: This entry in the Scott Pilgrim canon takes place at some amorphous time that may or may…
A team of engineers at Rice University has developed a tiny new sensor that could dramatically improve the safety of self-driving cars on public roads. This is a compact, low-power millimeter-wave radar sensor roughly the size of an orange. The new tech, dubbed EyeDar, is designed to work as an “extra set of eyes” by enhancing radar perception in places where a vehicle’s own sensors may struggle, such as blind spots, intersections, or poor visibility conditions. Why existing sensors fall short Typically, autonomous vehicles rely on a suite of sensors like cameras, LiDAR, and radar to “see” their surroundings. While…
Activision has unveiled a new battle royale experience for Call of Duty Warzone called Black Ops Royale, a mode designed to revive the survival based gameplay of the original Blackout from Call of Duty Black Ops 4. The new mode is free to play and launches on March 12, bringing a fresh map, new mechanics, and updated systems for modern Warzone players. Unlike traditional Warzone matches, Black Ops Royale removes several familiar mechanics. Players will not have loadouts, buy stations, Gulag respawns, or in-game cash. Everyone begins the match with only a pistol and wingsuit, forcing squads to search the…
Most of us carry a tiny surveillance device in our pockets, which we call a smartphone. If that bothers you, your options have historically been limited. Buy a Google Pixel, install GrapheneOS, and accept the irony of running a privacy OS on Google hardware. Motorola just made that calculus a lot simpler. At MWC 2026, the company announced a long-term partnership with the GrapheneOS Foundation, making it the first non-Pixel manufacturer to officially support the privacy-hardened OS. So what is GrapheneOS? GrapheneOS is a privacy and security-focused mobile OS, developed as a non-profit open source project. Think of it as…
TCL just showed off a new desktop robot at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. It’s called the Tbot, and it pairs with the company’s kids smartwatches. The idea is straightforward, when a child takes the watch off to charge, the Tbot keeps things going at home. The device holds the watch with a magnetic dock while it powers up. But it does more than charge. TCL positions the Tbot as an AI companion that steps in during those off-wrist moments. It can handle morning alarms, study timers, and bedtime stories. The goal is to create a sense of continuity for…
