Fortunately for you, Game Informer kept an eye on it all and today, we bring you…
As much as I will never forgive Apple for killing the headphone jack on phones, I love my AirPods. The AirPods Pro 2 are the best pair of wireless earbuds I have ever owned. From the balanced audio quality to long battery life to seamless connectivity to exceptional noise cancellation, AirPods get everything right. However, there was one missing feature holding AirPods back. Unlike most earbuds that give you a way to tune your own sound profile, with AirPods, you get what you get. So, if you love the bass to be a bit too heavy, you were in luck.…
Summer Game Fest showcase week is almost over, save for a 50-minute Nintendo Direct tomorrow. We got a PlayStation State of Play, the usual Summer Game Fest showcase, and an Xbox Games Showcase, not to mention a dozen more smaller showcases. Between them all, Game Informer published more than 100 stories covering the announcements, reveals, updates, and more. Alongside brand-new games, we saw many remasters and remakes. We have a running list of upcoming remakes that we’re constantly updating, but we thought we’d pore back through the past week’s showcases to highlight all of the remasters and remakes that appeared. Whether…
Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 FE may finally be getting the glow-up fans have been asking for. Newly leaked renders and details suggest the company’s next Fan Edition phone could deliver a far more polished flagship-like design instead of feeling like a collection of leftover premium parts stitched together into a cheaper device. According to recent spotting on the WPC website by 9to5Google, the Galaxy S26 FE is expected to closely resemble Samsung’s main Galaxy S26 lineup, adopting slimmer bezels, a cleaner chassis, and a noticeably more premium overall appearance. While previous FE models often delivered strong specifications for the price,…

Rats, exceptional emotional storytelling, tense stealth, and more rats: these are the elements that come to mind when I think of A Plague Tale. Watching the young protagonists Amicia and Hugo de Rune endure unimaginable hardships to combat a supernatural rat scourge in A Plague Tale: Innocence in 2019 and its 2022 sequel, A Plague Tale: Requiem, captivated me, and the series has become one of my favorites of the modern era. Although Requiem’s conclusion left some tantalizing narrative possibilities for the future, I doubt anyone expected a follow-up would take players to the past and center on that game’s…
Pokémon Go became all the rage when it launched, as it fulfilled one of our childhood promises,You’ve “Gotta catch ’em all!.” At its peak, that game had a monthly player base of about 200 million, which is astounding.

You point your phone at any creature, be it a pigeon or stray cat, and Gotcha cuts it out from the background, identifies what it is, and adds it to your…
