God of War Ragnarok: There was a lot of competition in November, but many people were still looking forward to getting their hands on God of War: Ragnarok so they could find out how Kratos and Atreus’ adventure ended. But obtaining, playing, and ultimately succeeding in a video game are all qualitatively different experiences. Since every gamer claims they will “beat the game” as soon as they buy it, it stands to reason that they won’t. It’s not always the case, though. Multiple variables might contribute to a player not completing a game, such as the sheer volume of material,…

VALORANT Will Come to Xbox and Playstation: A Riot job listing from the last week appears to reveal that a Valorant port is under development for home consoles, which is unusual but not too startling. This post on Hitmarker is for a senior role as a Game Design Manager, Console with Riot Games in Bellevue, Washington. Given that a mobile version of Valorant is still said to be in development, porting it to consoles is both a logical next step and a potentially perilous one. It’s probable that the concept of playing a shooter that relies so heavily on quick…

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt: CD Projekt Red has announced that the next-gen update for The Witcher: Wild Hunt will be released on December 14 for the PlayStation 5, Xbox One X/S, and PC. The company also mentioned that anybody who owns the game in any form would receive the update at no cost. Digital copies of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition will be made available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC users who may have missed out on the game at launch. A physical copy will be made available as well. All updates, free downloadable…

Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition Review: Unpacking a brand-new Chromebook is, for the most part, a routine occurrence. Typically, a Chromebook, a charger, and a sizable cardboard box will be sent to you. I’m all for Chromebooks being sold in recyclable packaging, and it’s great to see businesses like Acer, with their Chromebook Vero 514, taking the extra effort to make the box for such a product look a little less boring than usual. This is all taken to a new level with the Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition (Framework Chromebook from here on), as not just the package but also the…

Review of the Apple AirPods Max: When AirPods Max first became available online in December of last year, I was undecided about buying them. However, by the time they hit store shelves a week later, I had persuaded myself into giving them a try. After eight months, I still insist that anybody who can afford $549 get them (or find a deal). Although my occupation as a writer and podcast presenter for 9to5Mac carried a lot of weight in justifying the purchase, it was my love of music that ultimately led me to make the purchase without opening my eyes.…

The bizarre yet hilarious issues that plagued “Cyberpunk 2077” upon its debut and subsequent removal from the PlayStation shop will forever be remembered as a black mark on the game’s otherwise stellar reputation. Nonetheless, the CD Projekt game has been enjoyed by enthusiasts and has gained a devoted following since its debut in 2020. It has generated so much interest that CD Projekt has decided to produce a sequel, something no one expected coming. Nearly two years after the game’s debut, players are surprised to learn that a dedicated fan has discovered a previously undiscovered weapon. Reddit user OSHIN recently…

Startup Building Power-delivering Lunar Rover: A Canadian start-up is working on a rover that will be sent to the moon in the next several years to serve as a power source for astronauts operating other spacecraft there. On November 21st, Toronto-based firm STELLS revealed its ambitions to create the Mobile Electricity Rover (MPR), a rover that can produce power from its solar arrays and distribute that power through wireless charging to other vehicles on the lunar surface. By 2025, the company plans to have its MPR-1 rover sent to the moon’s south pole as a payload aboard an Intuitive Machines…

The Core I5-powered Lenovo Ideapad Gaming Chromebook: A new line of Chromebooks focused squarely on gamers was announced last month by Google and three different manufacturers. Products by Acer, ASUS, and Lenovo are included. Although each device has its advantages, the Acer Chromebook 516 GE currently appears to be the best option in terms of CPU and overall spec-to-price ratio. When it first came out, Lenovo’s gaming Chromebook was a 12th Gen Intel Core i3 model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of eMMC storage. While the Acer Chromebook 516 GE, with its beefier Core i5, offers more raw power,…

The LG UltraGear 27″ 1440p 240Hz OLED Gaming Monitor was just announced, and it has the potential to be a game-changer in the PC gaming digital display sector, which has been slow to transition to OLED panels. While OLED televisions are now widely available, their price remains a major barrier to entry. Traditional PC gaming displays haven’t been able to adapt to the bigger panels used in OLED TVs, thus the changeover has been slower than envisaged. It is possible that LG’s 27-inch UltraGear may be the first of several OLED displays to make this cutting-edge display technology available to…

Nvidia’s RTX 4090 Graphics Card: After weeks of saying it was looking into allegations of melting and burning power cords for its RTX 4090 graphics card, Nvidia now claims it may have figured out why: the wires weren’t plugged in all the way. Nvidia is currently looking into the claims, as stated in a post to its customer support site on Friday, although preliminary findings “indicate” an unsecured connection has been a widespread problem. There have apparently been about 50 instances of the problem, the paper adds. The power connection used by Nvidia’s flagship card is known as 12VHPWR. This…
