The time is out of joint! Time travel stories can have pretty high stakes, because usually you only travel in time when you really need to change something. A killer robot is trying to kill a lady because of something her son will eventually do, that kind of thing. My favourite episodes of Doctor Who, by contrast, were always the ones where the Doctor met a miserable dog-alien thousands of years in the future, and the dog alien is like “Not only is the planet about to blow, but my marriage is in trouble,” and then the episode was mostly about the latter issue rather than the former....
Remake news? Three or four times a year, someone at Square Enix says that news is coming aboutFinal Fantasyand we all get our hopes up. This is one of those times. Tetsuya Nomura,Final Fantasy VII Remakedirector, has said that “various” announcements are coming next month related toFinal Fantasy 7’s 25th anniversary. Will it be news about the second part of the FF7 Remake - or will it be, I dunno, a livestreamed concert and some phone wallpapers?...

Alongside thepreviously announced third-person action game SteamWorld Headhunter, they’re also making a citybuilding game, a turn-based tactical shooter, and a puzzle game. Three of them are aiming for release next year. We’ve typically loved every SteamWorld game, even as they’ve leapt from genre to genre, from turn-based tactics inSteamWorld Heist, card battler inSteamWorld Quest, and platformer inSteamWorld Dig 2....
16-in 2560x1600 165Hz display, Ryzen 9 5900HX, 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD. The Legion 7 gets a lot right with its design. The components are top-notch - the graphics card is only surpassed by the RTX 3080 and the processor by extremely rare Ryzen 6000 models. AMD’s 5000-series laptop processors are extremely power-efficient too, so you benefit from better battery life than the corresponding Intel model despite having the same 80Wh battery installed....
The Logitech G Pro X Superlight is an incredible piece of kit. If you’re into your competitive gaming, then Logitech’s G Pro X Superlight wireless mouse should be near the top of your list. It normally retails for an eye-watering $159.99 / £139.99, but today it’s available for a slightly more reasonable $109.99 / £108.99 - that’s $50 or £30 off, according to my calculator. So you could easily spend like $30 and get a great gaming mouse - why would you spend like $80 more?...

But you should probably stick to the Core i9-12900K… or a good Core i5 If Intel’s recent takeover of the RPSbest gaming CPUsguide wasn’t indication enough, their latest12th Gen Alder Lakechips are the real deal – especially on pure games performance. This should make the newly launchedCore i9-12900KS, in a way, the realest deal of all: it’s structurally identical to theCore i9-12900K, originally the top-spec CPU in the series, but made with an even more discerning binning process....
It’s looking bellissimo Microsoft say they’ve revamped 20 cities in Italy and Malta using “digital elevation modeling, aerial and satellite imagery, and triangulated irregular network (TIN) modeling”. They’ve also worked on zhuzhing the coastline (that’s the official, technical term, you know), which is a pretty major attraction of Italy and Malta. The update incorporates an airbus-load of new points of interest too, from the Pantheon to Saint Mark’s Basilica and Vatican City....
Segaaaaaa Being a father changes you. After years of resolutely hating on Sonic, my son’s interest in the characters, games and cartoon has softened me up. I will now begrudgingly admit that Sonic Boom is alright, and the first Sonic live action movie is better than expected. So here I am, looking at the new footage ofSonic Origins, which collects and remasters the blue hedgehog’s original platform games. Here’s new gameplay footage of#SonicOrigins....
I don’t know what any of us expected It’s been about eight months since I first hada hands-off sneak peekat the new and about-to-be-rebootedSaints Row, and six since we’ve heard it was beingdelayed to August this year. With its late summer release fast approaching, Volition recently showed off a larger chunk of some actual gameplay to press in another remote preview session.
