The Arkham series has earned the prestige of being a fantastic and consistent video game franchise without any licensed game asterisks. Nearly all the Arkham games are great in different ways and perhaps the most surprising compliment to pay Arkham Shadow is that it stands up in that lineage, despite being made by a different developer for a difficult platform. I’ve missed the Arkham games and was overjoyed to discover that developer Camouflaj figured out how to successfully translate Arkham’s best mechanics into virtual reality, and place it alongside a surprising and enjoyable narrative. I don’t like swinging punches or…

Since its early access launch on December 11, 2024, Fortnite Ballistic, Epic Games’ daring foray into the 5v5 tactical first-person shooter genre, has established a distinctive niche within the Fortnite universe. Debuting with Chapter 6 Season 1, this mode takes cues from iconic shooters such as Counter-Strike and Valorant, setting the stage for an intense bomb-planting duel between two teams on the tightly designed Skyline 10 map. Right out of the gate, Ballistic exploded onto the scene, momentarily eclipsing the battle royale mode with an impressive 259,000 concurrent players just hours after its launch. This surge was driven by its innovative…

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 launch is still months away, but numerous leaks about their design are popping up on the Web.

The 2011 release of Sonic Generations was one of the best games the series had received in years and served as an effective celebration of the Blue Blur’s 20th anniversary. Though the 33rd anniversary is much less of a milestone birthday, Sonic Team carried forward that legacy with a solid remaster of Sonic Generations. However, rather than simply polishing old decorations, Sonic Team gave fans new ways to celebrate with a superb second campaign starring Sonic’s most popular rival, Shadow, creating a compelling package well worth speeding through. This new campaign, Shadow Generations, feels right at home in the bundle…

Apple is facing challenges while designing the next Apple Watch SE model, according to Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman. The company is said to be working on a refreshed Apple Watch SE, with a plastic body. Apple’s design team reportedly disapproves of how the wearable looks, while other employees are still looking for a way to make the chassis more affordable to produce than the current model. The company isn’t expected to launch new smartwatches until September, when the next iPhone generation is expected to arrive.Apple’s Design Team Reportedly Dislikes the Plastic Watch SE’s LookIn the latest edition of his weekly…

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is more than just another release in a beloved role-playing franchise. It’s also the first single-player RPG from BioWare, a team whose bread and butter was once this exact type of game, in over seven years. With a beautiful collection of hub worlds to explore, fun and fast action combat, and a memorable cast of characters to share in the adventure, I was impressed throughout my long runtime with Veilguard. And though the central narrative left me wanting, the personal character-specific side quests mostly made up for it.  Veilguard begins in medias res, with Rook, the…

Everyone is getting hyped about the big design changes reportedly coming to iOS 19 this year — so when Jon Prosser shared a mock-up based on an iMessage screen he claimed to have seen for himself, we all got excited. A few hours later, however, the biggest Apple tipster of them all, Mark Gurman, shared a post on X addressing the images. iOS 19 images floating around aren't representative of what we'll see at WWDC. They look to be based on either very old builds or vague descriptions, missing key features. Expect more from Apple in June. Regardless, mockups –…

Apple’s iOS 19 is turning out to be an interesting software update for iPhone users because it is said to bring along a massive visual overhaul; something that’s not changed with the mobile operating system for a really long time. While iOS 18 was supposed to usher in an era of Apple Intelligence (or artificial intelligence) for its iPhone, Apple has been struggling to deliver said features as per previously promised timelines. Indeed, iOS 19 is also expected to add to the existing bugs and problems that are just starting to get ironed out in recent iOS 18 updates.Right after…
