Apple revealed a new generation of its custom Arm-based silicon earlier this year, but it took the unusual step of releasing the M4 first in a new iPad Pro model.

Image: Nintendo Life We’re now one full week into October following the first September since 2016 without a really big Nintendo Direct. Looking back at our Nintendo Direct broadcast history guide, it’s all there in black and white (well, red and white). 2020’s Direct might have been a Super Mario-focused job themed around that series’

It has been over 7 years now since Fortnite released, and 6 years since it had been officially ported over to the Nintendo Switch.

If you’ve been on the Silent Hill 2 Remake Wikipedia page recently and noticed the review scores seem a bit low, that’s because someone’s been tampering with them.

Strange Scaffold‘s recent streak (over two years) of wildly different indie releases has been pretty wild: From El Paso, Elsewhere to Life Eater to Clickolding, the indie studio has represented tight and laser-focused gaming at its best and most experimental.

October isn’t a prime month for sales, but we were surprised to see some additional price drops on well-reviewed prebuilt gaming PCs at the start of the month. Retailers and manufacturers are gearing up for Amazon’s big sales event, and even though chip costs are spiking there’s still inventory to be moved. We picked out

Image: Nintendo Life We’ve been playing The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom pretty consistently over the past week and it’s safe to say we’re really rather fond of it. Sure, the frame rate could be improved (not that it bothers everybody) and the lock-on can be a little fiddly, but overall it’s a jolly

Meta’s collaboration with Ray-Ban has been on the market for just under a year now, and to mark the occasion, Meta has confirmed what we probably should have assumed in the first place: It’s grabbing snapshots from users’ real lives to train the glasses’ AI model.

By now, you’re more than likely aware of Fantasian Neo Dimension, an enhanced version of Square Enix‘s 2021 game Fantasian. The game was officially confirmed to be releasing on the Nintendo Switch on December 5th. That said, there may be some of you that are curious to see how the game looks and plays. If

Warning: Spoilers for the main quest of Starfield’s Shattered Space DLC lie ahead. STOP. Can you NOT touch things in here and maybe just THINK about p**sing off? They keep telling me this, in pretty huffy tones, their spooky ghost people faces made of slightly wiggly light scrunching up into cyber-frowns. It’s not enough. I

Ryan Murphy, creator of shows like American Horror Story and Glee, is back with a new show, this time one with an… interesting premise. If there’s one thing you can count on when it comes to Ryan Murphy, it’s that you can always expect a show that people will talk about from him,

SpaceX has risen to prominence on the strength of its Falcon 9 rocket, a launch vehicle that, until recently, seemed almost bulletproof.

I don’t regret any of the nine hours I’ve spent with The Plucky Squire, but one of my most anticipated indie games of the year turned out to be a bit of a slog… again. It’s a rather frustrating outcome after a September full of pretty banging AAA releases and a handful of well-marketed and
