RIG R8 Pro HX headset review - "Unparalleled audio that - oh my goodness, a charging base!"

RIG R8 Pro HX headset review - "Unparalleled audio that - oh my goodness, a charging base!"I'm not entirely sure why, but I've been listening to game soundtracks a whole lot more than usual lately - on yesterday's menu was Ghost of Tsushima and how it teleported me to Japan, while just this morning, right before writing this review, it was Final Fantasy VIII on loop. That one sent me back in time to chunky pixel art and hours of grinding you can't auto your way out of - which I suppose simply tells you how important sound can be when it comes to emotion and immersion. To be honest, RIG has always blown me away with its dedication to sound - their tagline says it all, in fact. This time around, I genuinely couldn't find anything to nitpick about with the RIG R8 Pro, and at $179.99, that's just mindblowing to me. ... [ MORE ]

Genshin Impact confirms the highly anticipated Snezhnaya region launch for August

Genshin Impact confirms the highly anticipated Snezhnaya region launch for AugustIt’s the last Friday of the month. Of course, there’s Genshin Impact news. This one’s a bit further out than usual, though. HoYoverse has confirmed that the next major region is arriving in August, which gives you plenty of time to speculate and overanalyse every frame of the reveal. Snezhnaya, the long-teased Cryo nation, is finally on the horizon. This isn’t just another stop on the map either. It’s been sitting in the background of the story since launch, tied to the Fatui, the Tsaritsa, and the whole question of what’s actually going on with the Gnoses. The upcoming region is positioned as a turning point, where a lot of those threads start coming together rather than just being hinted at. ... [ MORE ]

Drova: Forsaken Kin is a harsh open-world ARPG that's out now for iOS and Android

Drova: Forsaken Kin is a harsh open-world ARPG that's out now for iOS and AndroidYou don’t get eased into Drova: Forsaken Kin. No gentle intro, no early power trip. You’re dropped into a world that already feels like it’s gone wrong, and it expects you to figure out how to survive. I covered its announcement back in February and now the open-world action RPG is out on iOS and Android. You start with nothing. No status, no direction, and definitely no system pushing you forward. Progress comes from paying attention - reading the environment, picking up on small details, and slowly working out what matters. If you’ve played some of the genre’s classics you’ll feel the same hands-off energy as opposed to the kind of streamlined content we see these days. ... [ MORE ]

911 Operator is free on Epic Games Store Mobile this week, putting you behind the emergency line

911 Operator is free on Epic Games Store Mobile this week, putting you behind the emergency lineYou don’t really think about the person on the other end of an emergency call until something goes wrong. 911 Operator flips that perspective completely. It’s currently free on the Epic Games Store Mobile, and for once, the job isn’t running into danger. It’s deciding who does. You’re sitting behind the desk, picking up calls as they come in. Some are straightforward - accidents, fires, medical emergencies. Others are messier. People panic, information is unclear, and sometimes you’re left figuring out what’s real. The job isn’t just sending help, it’s deciding what kind of help, how much of it, and how quickly. ... [ MORE ]

Monster Hunter: Outlanders' second closed beta kicks off at the end of this month

Monster Hunter: Outlanders' second closed beta kicks off at the end of this monthThe Monster Hunter franchise is one which seems to permanently waver between bona fide mainstream smash hit and cult classic. I'd lean towards the latter since it has a lousy film adaptation to support that viewpoint! But either way, the classic experience is set to come to mobile with Monster Hunter: Outlanders. Now, those of you who pre-registered for the second closed beta will be excited to learn that it's now officially confirmed to arrive on April 29th! It will introduce you to the exciting new world of Aesolad to explore, not to mention new Radiant species and the ever-popular BBQ feature to feed your hungry adventurer. ... [ MORE ]
