If you’re on the hunt for monitor deals to pair with a top-of-the-line gaming PC, you’re going to want a display like the Alienware AW2524H gaming monitor. If you’re interested, it’s currently on sale from Dell at $200 off, which brings its price down to just $500 from $700. It’s still relatively expensive after the discount, but it’s a reasonable price for a screen with a 500Hz refresh rate. However, since this is a clearance sale, there’s a chance that stocks run out sooner than you think, so proceed with the purchase immediately if you want to pocket the savings.

Cameos: They’re not just videos that actors do in their living rooms for money! In its excellent first season, the X-Men ’97 writers have had a lot of fun giving viewers little views into the Marvel Universe beyond the X-Mansion. A quick glimpse of Spider-Man here, a conversation between Rogue and Captain America there — it’s a thrilling old-school approach to comic book cameos that signals the scale of what’s happening instead of teasing the potential for spinoffs.

WWE 2K24 has been on the market for a couple of months now and developer Visual Concepts is expanding the experience with the game’s first DLC pack. CM Punk made his surprise return to WWE this past November at Survivor Series, and in years past, fans would likely have had to wait over a year to see him in a WWE game, as the deadline for setting the roster for the next game would have passed. Thankfully, that’s no longer the case, as Visual Concepts got to work and managed to get him into the ECW Punk Pack, which also includes Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley, Sandman, and Terry Funk.

If there is one thing that people who make and play video games love more than video games, it’s labels. People love to label a game, to invent a genre, to categorize and sort and declare some kind of rudimentary ownership. YouTubers have built entire careers around this.

I think most would agree that the artist formerly known as Twitter has never been in more need of a thermonuclear cleansing. The Musk era has transformed what was already fondly known as a hellsite into something at once more obnoxious and sadder, whether you're talking about the web3 grifters or the resurgent debate-me cryptofascists or the recommendation algorithm's perceptibly greater enthusiasm for quote-tweet flamebait.

A public campaign to prevent publishers from pulling online support from video games in a way that makes them unplayable has prompted a response from the UK government.

Amazon has commissioned a new Tomb Raider TV series for Prime Video, with Phoebe Waller-Bridge acting as writer and executive producer.

May 16’s answer is bound to cause issues for many players, and it is recommended that they be prepared for it. The answer contains a repeating letter, which is never fun as it can take several attempts to find their correct locations. The answer also has only one vowel, which makes solving today’s answer even more complicated. However, if you use a different mode, you might have better luck.

Today, Prime Video announced it has ordered a new series based on the iconic Tomb Raider video game franchise as part of a deal between Crystal Dynamics and Amazon MGM Studios. The series will be written and executive produced by Phoebe Waller-Bridge and will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

Not to paint things dystopian, but the cost of living sure is ridiculous right now. If you're currently doing life on hard mode, I reckon you could do with some dirt cheap entertainment that dispenses multi-hour escapism. Enter: video games. More specifically, the discounted gems I've curated below—like an overloaded Animus worth of Assassin's Creed adventures, low cost preorders, and more!

In late January 2023, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Amazon was developing an interconnected Tomb Raider universe made of games, film, and TV.

Alfira is arguably one of the most underrated NPCs in . Initially found in the Emerald Grove, where she can teach the player character how to play an instrument, her number of appearances in a playthrough depends entirely on whether or not a player manages to keep her alive (or if they’ve picked the Dark Urge origin character). Like most underrated video game characters, Alfira also gets some of the best cosplay.

This week, Microsoft and Bethesda announced that they would be closing down multiple game development studios under their umbrella. These include Alpha Dog Games, maker of Mighty Doom, and Arkane Austin, developer of the disastrous Redfall among others. In the gaming industry, the conventional wisdom has long been held that bad games sink you and great games save you, which would lead many to drawing an unfortunate line between Redfall’s reception and Arkane Austin’s closure — but immediately stops supporting that conclusion when you get to Tango Gameworks.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is among the few games whose visuals were not downgraded over its original reveal. On the contrary, they have been improved considerably.

The latest 11-inch and 13-inch M4 iPad Pro models are equipped with Tandem OLED technology, making them the first consumer products to be equipped with such panels. The obvious benefits include higher brightness and richer colors, and perhaps the biggest perk of using an OLED apart from the battery life improvements is the longer lifespan of the displays. However, users may not appreciate that the addition of Tandem OLED actually results in worse battery life compared to the M1 version with mini-LED, at least according to the latest tests.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 just passed a significant development milestone: Tom McKay, the actor behind main character Henry, has wrapped dialogue recording after a staggering 508 hours in the studio across 127 sessions.

Game developers are sharing the delightful chaos that ensues when you take a random line of code in a video game and crank it up to 1,000.

I love the Hyperdimension Neptunia series, but for a long time now it feels like I’m a fan of everything but the actual video games. Nep Nep and her crew of humanised game-console gals are unforgettably hilarious and consistently endearing, but there’s been nothing consistent about the Neptunia video games as of late. Each one has been a standalone spinoff adventure with their own canon and their own gameplay – and rather than building off the previous games to improve and expand, each one seeks to rebuild the wheel and comes out equally rough as a result. Despite lifting a lot of the combat and gameplay from its predecessor, Neptunia Sisters VS Sisters, the same issues persist with Neptunia Game Maker (R)evolution.

May 15’s answer is not the hardest to solve, but it could cause some players to waste their attempts if they aren’t careful. While there is a vowel in today’s answer, finding its correct position is inconsequential, as finding the other letters can be quite challenging. You will definitely need a strategy or some help if you want to solve the puzzle in less than six attempts.

During the OpenAI Spring Update, Mira Murati announced the new GPT-4o model with some exceptional capabilities. Just like OpenAI's Sora tool created a buzz around the internet, the GPT-4o is also trending on the microblogging platform X (Formerly known as Twitter). Tech experts and app users have been raving about how the new AI model capabilities could impact our daily lives and several sectors such as education.

One of Super Mario 64’s few remaining mysteries has been solved, thanks to a player who figured out how to open a previously “unopenable” door from the 1996 Nintendo 64 classic. We can thank a nearly four-hour YouTube video that exhaustively detailed how invisible walls work in Super Mario 64, and the tenacity of the game’s community for the new discovery.

If you’re searching for a powerful gaming machine from the available gaming PC deals online, we highly recommend going for the HP Omen 40L gaming desktop. From its original price of $1,480, it’s down to a more reasonable $1,250 for savings of $230. You’re going to have to hurry with your purchase though, because we’re not sure how much time is remaining for this bargain. If you delay your transaction to tomorrow, there’s a chance that you miss out on the discount.

The last few weeks I’ve been watching quite a few YouTube videos (thanks, Evo Japan), and noticing that adverts during videos a) seem to pop up every 30 seconds or so and b) then last for an unskippable 30 to 60 seconds. My frustration with being bombarded by YouTube ads in videos for which I pay nothing to watch - meaning that I understand the necessity for ads of some kind to support creators and pay server bills - came to mind as I read about EA’s plans to explore inserting advertising into games, which I pay up to £70 a pop to play.

may already be filled with sinister robot armies and an endless supply of highly-trained soldiers, but one impressive mod wants to unite Super Earth's forces with the military might of The Republic from . It doesn't take much to see the similarities between the obedient and endlessly patriotic Helldivers and the Clone Army designed and created on Kamino. Both are expert fighting forces with seemingly endless numbers, so mashing them up and creating one of the best video games never made feels like an almost obvious idea.

It's been 28 years since was released on Nintendo 64, but players have finally been able to solve one of its last remaining mysteries. A lone cabin door at the bottom of the game's fourth course, (aka. Snow World) was previously thought to be unopenable from the outside, setting it apart from the majority that players come across in the game which open both ways. The door is clearly fully functional, as Mario has always been able to use it from the inside after diving into a chimney at the top of the mountain and going down a slide, but hitboxes prevent players from making their way back through it after leaving the cabin.

Every monster needs an origin story. Here’s mine.

May 14’s answer is one of the most challenging puzzles the game has hosted yet and will even be challenging for veterans. What makes today’s answer unique is that it has two repeating letters, one of which is a vowel. So, you will need to find the repeating vowel and the second repeating letter in six attempts. Finding all of them in six attempts will be pretty tough, and we recommend using hints instead.

As someone who loves tech and is considering getting a new phone, you know all about reading spec sheets. You check for a faster processor, more RAM, larger storage, and a higher screen resolution.

Highly regarded as one of, if not the best, game in the series, you can go back and explore many replayable parts of this title. Even without much post-game content, there is plenty to do once the credits roll.

is an enormous game in terms of just how much there is to do, but it's no surprise that some content got left on the cutting room floor during development. The setting of the game opens up a terrifying number of possibilities, and including every interesting idea would bloat both the game and its development cycle to a completely unsustainable degree. The balance found in the finished product feels just right in most regards, but some concepts that didn't make it in would have added tantalizing possibilities.

A reliable gaming leaker has suggested that PlayStation's Horizon series might soon be collaborating with Lego again, although it's not clear if it's going to be a new set or a video game.

Industry insider Jeff Grubb once again reaffirms his claim that Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is launching this year. This is despite recent information from EA indicating that it could be with us as late as March 2025, sparking fears that we're still almost a year away from the long-awaited sequel.

The wait for Dragon Age: Dreadwolf has been extremely long for fans, but it sounds like the end of the line is finally in sight, and it might have been worth it.

May 13’s answer is a type of spice that not many players might be familiar with and could cause them to lose their streak. The answer also contains two vowels, which could be hard to find if players don’t use the right starting words. While the answer can be solved in six attempts, it will require some ingenuity and quick thinking.

Apple hosted its Let Loose event earlier this week to announce its highly anticipated OLED iPad Pro models and the M2 iPad Air. Both iPads in the lineup have received their fair share of improvements but there are various reasons why the M2 iPad Air should be the one to get against the OLED model.

The Resident Evil 2 remake, alongside other entries in the series powered by the RE Engine, recently received a path tracing mod, which greatly improves the visuals in certain scenarios. So much so to make the considerable performance hit almost bearable.

It's a beautiful moment, but that doesn't mean his story has to end there.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes hits theaters this weekend. If you were hoping to find ways to spend more time in that world through video games, your options are surprisingly slim.

May 12’s answer may not be the most difficult, but it will still challenge some players if they don’t strategize beforehand.

Finding their correct spots without any hints could be quite challenging, but that can be made easier using a different mode.
