Earlier this year, I flew to Malmö, Sweden, to get an exclusive first look at Star Wars Outlaws for our cover story. During that time, I played through an hour of early-game content, spoke with various members of the developers, and dove deep into the approach the studio behind The Division took when crafting its adventure in the galaxy far, far away. Several months have passed since my trip out to Sweden, and with Ubisoft hosting one final preview event prior to the game’s August 30 release date, I traveled to Irvine, California, to get my hands on a longer…

Only one double-digit seed — No. 10 Arkansas — advanced to the Sweet 16. The gigantic upsets are nonexistent in the first two rounds. However, the second round did give fans a memorable buzzer-beater, as No. 4 Maryland advanced past No. 12 Colorado State on a running bank shot by freshman star Derik Queen. Without Cinderella, the Sweet 16 is…

With Apple falling short on its promises of delivering Apple Intelligence features, this year is indeed turning out to be an interesting one. On the bright side, Apple is not only expected to give iOS 19 its biggest redesign ever, but we are also expecting some major design changes for Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Pro models along with a brand-new iPhone 17 Air model getting added to the usual lineup. In short, Apple may already have enough to keep fans glued to its ecosystem of products this year (and the next), but another new feature has leaked out that may…

Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus launched to generally solid reviews on July 18, but those playing the hand-drawn action platformer on consoles will have to wait longer for any post-launch updates. Developer Squid Shock Studios revealed that last week’s sudden closure of publisher Humble Games has adversely affected its ability to provide timely support to those versions of the game.  In a statement posted to Twitter, Squid Shock Studios states that Humble Games’ apparent closure last week, which saw its entire 36-person staff laid off by owner Ziff Davis in what it calls a “restructuring,” has adversely affected its ability…

Microsoft has just unveiled a bunch of gaming-related updates, and while they seem like rather small tweaks, they could be helpful for Xbox gamers who don’t play on the actual console. The TL;DR includes a cleaner Game Bar UI, Game Pass benefits, and a way to seamlessly shift in and out of games using Xbox Cloud Gaming. Let’s dig in. First, perhaps my favorite of all the announcements: Microsoft has made it easier to switch from one game to another in Xbox Cloud Gaming. Unfortunately, this only concerns Assassin’s Creed games so far, such as Assassin’s Creed Shadows — but it’s…

A new trailer for Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero takes aim at Dragon Ball Z’s earliest story arcs, the Saiyan and Namek sagas. New characters from both eras will be joining the roster.  New fighters include members of both the Ginyu and Frieza Forces (remember Cui?), the Namakian warrior Nail, and every form of Frieza during the Z era. Perhaps most hilariously, you can even play as one of the Saibamen, meaning we get to watch it blow up Yamcha all over again, which never gets old.   Here’s the full list of new fighters joining the roster: Captain Ginyu Chiaotzu Cui…

The Casting of Frank Stone may have new elements due to its ties to Dead by Daylight, but it remains a Supermassive horror game at its core. By that, I mean it’s a narrative-focused, choice-driven adventure that can result in numerous different outcomes based on your decisions and reaction time to sudden button prompts. Characters can be permanently killed off due to your actions, and this blueprint has given past Supermassive works like Until Dawn and especially The Quarry (which boasted 186 different outcomes) plenty of replayability for fans who wanted to see every possible route the story could take.…
