Crazy Taxi is back in the form of Crazy Taxi: World Tour, a new game in the high-octane, Offspring-infused arcade racer-ish game, and it’s launching next year on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. In Crazy Taxi: World Tour, players control Alex and his trusty taxi cab as he chases down the mysterious masked villain who, well, stole his actual beloved taxi. Crazy Taxi: World Tour comes by way of Sega, and will task players with taking on extreme (timed) missions around the world while earning crazy amounts of money…but only if you get your passengers to where they need…
While schools around the world are still debating whether artificial intelligence should be restricted in classrooms, Estonia has chosen a radically different approach: give students more AI, not less. The Baltic nation has distributed free ChatGPT access to nearly 20,000 high-school students as part of a nationwide experiment that could reshape how education systems think about AI-assisted learning. According to a report by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the initiative targets 10th and 11th-grade students across Estonia and represents one of the first large-scale attempts to integrate generative AI directly into national education systems rather than treating it as a…
State of Decay, the open-world, zombie-hunting game from Undead Labs’, has been quiet for a while, but today marked the game’s grand return.

“A deceptively small powerhouse for the right audience.” Pros Light and pocketable Buzzing open-source toolkits Magnetic link with phones Solid battery life for its size Pretty affordable Cons No front or back light Learning curve for buttons Software is barebones Quick Review Every once in a while, an obscure brand comes out with an entirely new class of devices. One that may not be supremely practical, but it serves a niche purpose. Electronic ink readers are having a moment amid a rising wave of digital detox and dumb gadgets. Nothing has quite captured that spirit like Xteink’s pocket ereaders. And…
Valor Mortis is a game I’ve kept an eye on since its reveal last year, and after playing a demo, it’s one of my most anticipated upcoming games. Fortunately, you and I won’t have to wait much longer to play it, as it launches on September 24 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. This was revealed by way of a new narrative-focused trailer shown during today’s Xbox Games Showcase, pulling back the decrepit layers on this unique first-person Soulslike from the studio behind the excellent Ghostrunner series. In it, you control William, a former soldier who rises from death…
Apple heavily advertises privacy for its products, like the iPhone. These are usually one of the big talking points in their announcements, which makes your iPhone feel pretty locked down. This is true until you see how much ordinary device data apps can quietly read. Security research team Mysk has launched Loupe: What Apps Can See, a free iOS app designed to show users what information third-party apps can access through public iOS APIs. The app is available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, listed under Developer Tools, and requires iOS 17 or later. Why Loupe is not…
Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember is the next game in the Dark Souls-inspired Three Kingdoms action game from Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja. The original Wo Long, Fallen Dynasty, released in 2023 and was a worthy entry in the canon of games inspired by From Software’s work. Wars have been waged over the pursuit of the elixir of immortality, and you will apparently play a hero destined to “quell the chaos of this senseless cycle.” The gameplay and visuals will look familiar to those who played the first game, but there is a new Phoenix ability whose mechanics are not…

Persona 6 has finally been revealed – it’s real! It’s been nearly 10 years since the last new mainline Persona game. Unfortunately, the existence of Persona 6 is quite literally all we know. In the teaser reveal trailer, which aired during today’s Xbox Games Showcase, we got a strange and mysterious look at what appears to be a graveyard of sorts. The camera pans over the gravestones before highlighting a large monument with what appears to be a nobleman missing a head. We see someone – presumably from our Persona party – touching the monument, and then the trailer flashes to…
Ninja Theory, the studio behind the Hellblade series, revealed the next title in the franchise at the Xbox Games Showcase on Sunday. The new action-adventure game, dubbed Senua, is a direct response to the criticism that Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice and its 2024 sequel Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II prioritized presentation over gameplay. Studio head Dom Matthews confirmed the game is coming in 2027 to Xbox Series X|S, PC, PlayStation 5, and Game Pass. A different kind of Hellblade game Senua will drop the tightly linear structure of the previous two Hellblade games in favor of a broader action-adventure format. Matthews describes…
