A video game staple beginning in 1996, the Legacy of Kain series is a beloved set of action games following the exploits of warring vampires in the land of Nosgoth. After the release of Legacy of Kain: Defiance in 2003, however, the franchise went frustratingly quiet (though there was a short-lived multiplayer game Nosgoth in 2014 that never properly left open beta).Last year, however, saw the release of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered which, as the title implies, remastered the Soul Reaver games. Today we’re learning, however, that those games were a portend of what’s to…

While there are plenty of great robot vacuums on the market today, most share a common limitation that makes them less than ideal for homes with low-clearance furniture. Their relatively bulky design prevents them from reaching under sofas, cabinets, and beds, leaving dust and debris to accumulate out of sight. Dreame’s latest model aims to solve that problem with a slimmer profile built specifically to target those hard-to-reach spaces. The new Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete is the company’s thinnest robot vacuum yet, measuring just 3.13 inches. First showcased at CES earlier this year, the vacuum’s ultra-thin profile allows it…

Saros is not a sequel to Returnal (at least we don’t think it is), but it is undeniably a follow-up to Housemarque’s excellent rogue game, building on what the team built mechanically in that game.Today’s State of Play Saros trailer focused on many elements that will separate it from Returnal. For one, there are many more characters to interact with. Between runs you will talk to other survivors in The Passage. There also appear to be far more permanent progression options to unlock. The trailer also showed options for making the game more difficult or easier by turning on and off…

With the launch of the WF-1000XM6 TWS earbuds, Sony has once again thrown the flagship earbuds competition wide open. The earbuds push audio performance, promise better noise cancellation, and deliver better battery life than ever, but the $330 question is: how do they compare with other flagship offerings?Sony faces white-hot competition from two well-received heavy-hitters from Bose and Apple. Sony is climbing higher up the price ladder when pitted against the second-gen Bose QuietComfort Ultra and the third-gen AirPods Pro. But do Sony’s legacy and the generation-over-generation upgrades on the WF-100XM6 justify the high asking price? Well, that depends on the…

If the explosive popularity of the Metroidvania genre is any indication, Castlevania is one of the most influential game series of all time. That said, it’s been years since the franchise got a new entry, and even longer since it got a 2D entry. Thankfully, today’s PlayStation State of Play announced that the series, much like Dracula, is rising from a deep slumber. Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, a new sidescrolling entry in the series, will drop later this year. The game is being developed in a partnership between Konami, which made the originals, and two indie teams: Evil Empire and Motion Twin.…

Microsoft is warning that the rush to deploy workplace AI agents can create a new kind of insider threat, the AI double agent. In its Cyber Pulse report, it says attackers can twist an assistant’s access or feed it untrusted input, then use that reach to cause damage inside an organization. The problem isn’t that AI is new. It’s that control is uneven. Microsoft says agents are spreading across industries, while some deployments slip past IT review and security teams lose sight of what is running and what it can touch. That blind spot gets riskier when an agent can…
