Samsung may be preparing a pretty dramatic makeover for the Galaxy S27 Ultra, but if you were expecting the regular Galaxy S27 to join in on the fun, you might want to temper those expectations. Android Headlines, working with well-known leaker OnLeaks, has shared what it says are official renders of the Galaxy S27, giving us an early look at Samsung’s next compact flagship from just about every angle. And unlike the Ultra, which appears to be heading in a noticeably different design direction, the regular S27 looks incredibly familiar. At first glance, you could easily mistake it for the…
Sometimes you play a game where its inspirations are never in question. Rarely has that been more evident in recent memory than with Star Wars Zero Company from Bit Reactor, a studio founded by former XCOM developers. While it’s more than just an XCOM-like tactics game with Star Wars stylings, the description still holds up under scrutiny – with the excellent tactical gameplay and resource management buoying what is otherwise just a competent if unremarkable story and characters. Zero Company refers to the game’s titular mercenary group, headed under Hawks, a former Galactic Republic military captain who left the military life…
Apple’s new M6 and M5 Pro Mac mini models arrived this Tuesday, and while the performance upgrades are grabbing headlines, Apple quietly improved something just as important for many of us: display support. If you run a multi-monitor setup, this update is worth noting. So how many displays can you connect? The display count itself hasn’t changed. You still get up to three external displays on both models. What’s different is how those displays look while running together. On the M6 model, you can run two displays at up to 6K at 60Hz or 4K at 165Hz, a nice jump…
Earlier this year, I discovered a trailer for Nekome: Nazi Hunter, which is how I learned it’s a Grindhouse-inspired action game where you brutally kill a lot of Nazis. Immediately, I was in. And now, after playing it for roughly 30 minutes, I’m even more in. Nekome: Nazi Hunter is absolutely, deliciously, disrespectful to the Nazi’s of the 1940s Nazi regime in Germany during World War II. It begins with protagonist Vano Nastasu dressed as a butler within a palace of sorts. Inside, a group of Nazis is seated around a table covered in delicious food. As the Nazis eat, a…
Cheap gaming headsets can be great for the value they offer, but you really can’t expect them to sound great or have decent mics. At the lower end, wireless also basically becomes a luxury as well. JBL, though, has decided that you don’t have to miss out on powerful audio regardless of the money you’re spending. At $49.95, the JBL Quantum 120 sits at the bottom of JBL’s refreshed Quantum gaming lineup but replaces those weak drivers with 50mm carbon dynamic drivers. These are the same drivers found on the more expensive Quantum 520X, which costs $129.95. And if that…
A new trailer for Mega Man: Dual Override revealed during Gamescom Opening Night Live gave us a new look at the Blue Bomber in action, including the reveal of a new foe and a familiar ally.The video shows Mega Man doing what he does best: blasting apart Dr. Wily’s machines, though he has a new antagonist in the form of Twinkle Girl. She’s evidently the game’s first Robot Master, and actually looks rather pleasant and whimsical despite trying to kill Mega Man. We also see Mega Man sporting a new suit that may either represent the power he receives from defeating…
I’m glad that gaming handhelds are making a return. But when I first saw the Legion C700, I was worried that its cloud gaming angle would be a pain. Building a portable gaming machine primarily around cloud gaming sounds great right up until you take it somewhere with terrible internet. Lenovo’s Legion C700 finally launched its first-ever Android Legion handheld in China, and I can admit that I was surprised. The console’s cool party trick is that it can stream games directly from your PC without requiring an internet connection. Lenovo uses its proprietary Legion Stream protocol alongside a dedicated…

Jimi Hendrix and Marshall amplifiers are almost inseparable pieces of rock history. Sixty years after Hendrix first plugged into a Marshall in 1966, the company has decided to honor the legend with an edition for its latest collection of audio gear. Marshall has expanded its Jimi Hendrix 60th Anniversary Collection with three more limited-edition products. This includes the Major V headphones, Emberton III Bluetooth speaker, and Studio JMH Half Stack. This follows the crushed-purple-velvet Acton III and monstrous 1959 JMH Half Stack Marshall revealed earlier this year. The company isn’t just slapping Hendrix’s name all over the gear either, it…
Let me say right off the bat: I am stoked for Control Resonant as a Remedy-verse fan, but I still have not played the game. Unfortunately, that hasn’t changed at Gamescom 2026 because my preview of a new section of Control Resonant was hands-off. This didn’t inspire confidence in me, especially as Control Resonant marks a big departure for the studio with its melee action combat and RPG elements. However, what I watched the Remedy Entertainment employee play was another exciting look at the game. My colleague and senior associate editor Marcus Stewart did go hands-on with it at SGF and…
