Defender – это динамичный аркадный скролл-шутер, где игроку предстоит защищать человечество от инопланетного вторжения. Управляя космическим кораблем, вы патрулируете ландшафт, уничтожая волны пришельцев, пытающихся похитить людей. Ключевая особенность геймплея – полная свобода перемещения по горизонтали: корабль может лететь как вправо, так и влево. Ваша задача – не только уничтожать врагов, но и спасать похищенных людей, возвращая их на землю. Арсенал корабля включает в себя лазерные пушки и бомбы, эффективно уничтожающие большие группы врагов, но требующие тактического использования. Игра отличается высокой сложностью и требует от игрока быстрой реакции и умения маневрировать в плотном потоке вражеского огня.
"Too big a risk": Moonlighter devs delay new game's demo for fear of genAI cloning, calling on platforms to "keep strengthening protections for original work" Digital Sun "concerned" by recent news about genAI rip-offs Moonlighter and Cataclismo developers Digital Sun Games have postponed a public Steam playtest for their new game ReVamp, for fear of people using generative AI to clone their work before release. "So many of you signed up for ReVamp's first playtest on Steam (thank you!), but we've decided to start with something more contained on our Discord, with the public playtest coming a bit later," the devs write on MechaHitler.com. We've been concerned by recent news of games being reverse-engineered, cloned and published before the original is even out. With launch still months away, a large public build of ReVamp felt like too big a risk." They're now hoping to run a public playtest in January, with the closed Discord showing starting on October 29th.
Компания Microsoft выпустит встроенный в Windows антивирус на операционных системах семейства Linux. Информация об этом появилась на официальном сайте. Так как антивирус предназначен для другой операционной системы, называться он будет не Windows Defender, а Microsoft Defender. Разработчики предложат комплексную защиту для рабочих станций, а также для серверов вне зависимости от использованного дистрибутива: RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, SLES, Fedora или Oracle Linux.
Over the Hill's off-roading simulation winches you in with a more laid-back take than SnowRunner's, but it'll still bite careless drivers The RPS verdict Over the Hill, a rather chillaxed take on brutal Saber Interactive off-roading sims like SnowRunner, is the latest game from vibesy driving enthusiasts Funselektor. The folks behind the likes of Art of Rally and Absolute Drift have assembled untamed wildernesses in the cold Canadian hills and the boiling desert of Algeria, before handing myself and Julian the keys to some 4x4s. Mark: Right, I’m getting to the top of the snowy peak this time. My Unimog-shaped behemoth of an off-roader, imbued with the finest tech the Germans can devise for making short work of any terrain, is nearly fully upgraded.
The foldable Apple iPhone Duo is real and it’s almost here. The iPhone Duo tops both of the other recently-released iPhones with its own scary, $1,999 price tag. That’s $100 more than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 that launched earlier this year. Then again, specs-wise, it’s probably more comparable to the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, which costs $2,099 out of the gate.
8Bitdo M30 2.4GHz Sega Mega Drive controller | $29.99 at Amazon I'll be playing Ocarina of Time ROM hacks on N64 before the remake lands Yes, I'm pretty hyped to play Ocarina of Time Remake, but at the same time, I think I'll always prefer the vibes of the OG N64 version. GameSir Pocket Taco | $34.99 at Amazon 8Bitdo FlipPad | $29.99 at Amazon The Retroid Pocket 5 is retiring, and that means it's worth peeking at It might feel like the Retroid Pocket 5 is old news at this point, and I don't mean due to the fact it's an excellent emulation portable. PSxMemCard Gen 2 for PS1/PS2 | $37.99 at Amazon My "Jack of all trades" retro controller is back with a worthwhile extra The Gulikit Elves 2 Pro currently wears my best retro controller overall crown, and that's largely thanks to its fantastic, comprehensive design that suits consoles from across the generations. 8Bitdo Retro Receiver | $24.99 at Amazon PSXMemcard | $39.99 at Amazon Retro Fighters Defender | $54.95 at Amazon GBS-C HDMI upscaler | $89.90 at Amazon Readying up for Retro price cuts Hey all, Phil here!
Our Verdict The TUF A16 is a remarkably well rounded gaming laptop, with an exceptional compliment of hardware at a well adjusted price point. For - Delightful IPS-level display - Impressive performance for an RTX 5050 - Clean design chops that aren't too gamery Against - Marginally expensive for an RTX 5050 - Model variance per region a very minor pain PC Gamer's got your back The ask this month was a simple one. On the connectivity front, aside from WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4, the TUF also comes 3x USB Type-A, 2x USB Type-C, a 3.5mm audio jack, HDMI out, and full ethernet as well, along with a dedicated power port too. It lost out in Metro Exodus by 6 fps, F1 by 6 fps, Cyberpunk by 1 fps, but beat it in Baldur's Gate 3 by 13 fps, and Black Myth Wukong by 2 fps.
Our Verdict If you're in the UK, the Katana is an all round solid machine, capable of delivering respectable frame-rates and decent-ish CPU performance too, especially for the price. And although, yes, that's probably three days of heating this coming winter, if you forgo the soothing warmth of your radiators for a bit you can net yourself an RTX 5060, Core i7 14650HX, and 16 GB of (gloriously dual-channel) 5,600 MT/s DDR5 RAM, all paired nicely with a crisp 2560x1440 "IPS-level" display flickering along 165 times every single second. It's one of Samsung's… well, I'm not going to reel off the serial code because it's one of those cryptic OEM-only designations that makes no sense to any human that reads it, but in short its an OEM PM9C1b, PCIe 4.0 SSD, that should top out at 7 GB/s on the read and 5.7 GB/s on the writes. That's almost excusable at the £1200 - £1300 mark, and unconscionable at $1,800 (I have seen this cheaper during my time testing, but let's not assume it's always on offer).
Our Verdict Lenovo's Legion 5 is a curious thing. Unfortunately, the US market no longer sports the exact spec that I have here, but its closest kin, comes in at a still respectable $1,499 (when not on offer), and features the slightly more modern Core i7 14700HX as well, which nets you some additional cores for an extra eight threads overall. File compression in particular suffers the most, scoring the lowest out of our three models here, with just 66.83 MB/s on compression, versus the 82.31 touted by Asus's TUF Gaming A16, or the 100.46 brought to bear by the Katana. Average power draw was 85 W with a clock speed of 2,678 MHz, versus the Katana's 2,305 MHz and 68 W draw.
Stop trying to make a console war out of which WoW is better, you're all exhausting We should not be this kind of orc. I've been very much enjoying the World of Warcraft: Forever beta—and I will be the first to cop to the fact I think it's recapturing a lot of the essence of an oldschool MMO that we lost. House Classic The hard, leathery-faced veterans of House Classic, who believe that no changes are to be wrought upon their favorite game—that these $30 Skyborne elves are a pox upon the land, and that even the slightest whiff of quality of life is a heresy. Best MMOs: Most massive Best strategy games: Number crunching Best open world games: Unlimited exploration Best survival games: Live craft love Best horror games: Fight or flight Harvey's history with games started when he first begged his parents for a World of Warcraft subscription aged 12, though he's since been cursed with Final Fantasy 14-brain and a huge crush on G'raha Tia.

The NES Retro Receiver is still around ahead of Black Friday, though, and I'd grab it while it's under $20 if you're looking to use new wireless gamepads with Nintendo's legendary console. The Bluetooth Gulikit Elves 2 Pro is a phenomenal retro controller that covers a lot of bases, but this sneaky Amazon bundle throws in a Hyperlink 2 Fastest Wireless Adapter so that you can also use 2.4GHz on USB devices. If you're looking into how to play N64 games, the 8Bitdo N64 controller can help you cut the cord and make things feel that bit closer to the pricey 4K Analogue 3D, while brands like Retro Fighters have you covered with their StrikerDC, the Xbox-inspired Hunter, and the Defender, if you're looking into Sega Dreamcast, PlayStation, or Xbox pads, respectively.
EA Sports FC has often been accused of focusing too much on Ultimate Team, while leaving other modes out in the cold. EA Sports FC 27 bucks that trend, making every mode feel like the star player. When we reviewed EA FC 26, we called it the “best football game in years,” praising the superb gameplay even if there wasn’t much ambition away from the grass. With the follow-up, EA Sports has gone in the opposite direction, playing it safe on the pitch while shaking things up behind the scenes.
The streets are filled with the Green Goblin's minions, too many for one hero to handle. The full box contents are: - 4 Character miniatures - Spectacular Spider-Man (Peter Parker) - Ultimate Spider-Man (Miles Morales) - Black Cat (Felicia Hardy) - Ghost-Spider (Gwen Stacy) - 1 Boss Green Goblin miniature - 18 Enemy minion miniatures - 2 Double-sided stage boards - 4 Character dashboards, plus Alliances character stat cards and character level-up cards - 5 Stage cards plus Boss Battle card - Boss and minion stat cards, plus enemy modifiers and pitfall cards - Tokens and cubes for tracking and objectives - 10 Custom MCP dice - Rulebook plus rules reference cards - 5 MCP stat cards (4 heroes plus Green Goblin) so that you can use the 5 miniatures in full MCP games The miniatures are all push-fit, which is great for players new to the hobby as there's no glue required, and they are also coloured thematically so that even without painting, they look decent on the tabletop. Heroes The 4 MCP Alliances Night of the Goblin heroes all offer their own unique playstyle, even between the 3 similar spider characters: - Spectacular Spider-Man - Peter's standard strike is range 2, 5 strength physical that can move Peter 1 space for wilds rolled. - Black Cat - Felica's standard attack is range 1, 5 strength physical, and her power cost attack is a range 3, 6 strength physical that can place Felica within 1 space of the target, and then throw the defender 2 spaces away.
Spoiler season has officially begun for Reality Fracture, Magic: The Gathering's upcoming multiversal set that serves as the culmination of the TCG's three-year story arc. Set in an alternate universe (referred to as the Echoverse) in which Planeswalker Jace Beleren has oh-so-generously taken it upon himself to "fix" everything he finds wrong with the world, Reality Fracture depicts his hostile, perfectly curated world and the other Planeswalkers of Lorwyn's efforts to demolish it. Ahead of the set's official release on October 2, Wizard of the Coast offered GameSpot an exclusive look at three cards: Surveillance Phantasm , Silence the Echo , and Chandra's Emberling . Each of these cards depicts a moment from Reality Fracture's 10-part story , which just wrapped up earlier this week.
The 7 clans of Rokugan are always at war, fighting over land, for glory, or simply because of some minor perceived slight. The Plan To Capture Toshi Ranbo Gunsen The Battle for Toshi Ranbo is a board game for 2 to 6 players, with players using a slightly smaller board for 2-3 player games and a larger board for 4-6 player games. Maybe 7 players pushes it over the game length they were aiming for, but it seems like you could just have a slightly bigger board for 7 players and have 1 side for 2-4 and the other for 5-7, as the turn structure keeps the game going nicely. Review Summary Pros - Great capture of all 7 clans with a unique feel - Great, L5R feeling mechanics - Battle mechanics allow for more depth than simple dice rolls - Order system that rewards early strategic planning Cons - Capped at 6 players when there are components for 7 clans feels odd
Me: You can now run DLSS 5 on AMD GPUs. My RX 9070 XT: Please stop, it hurts us A new app allows you to inject DLSS Neural Rendering deep into games even if you're running an AMD card. Now, we know that DLSS 5 is a hell of a resource hog on an RTX 50-series GPU that it's designed for, with a touted 50 - 60% performance hit officially noted by Nvidia, so I should have known it would trouble the AMD GPU. Best high-end: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 Dave has been gaming since the days of Zaxxon and Lady Bug on the Colecovision, and code books for the Commodore Vic 20 (Death Race 2000!).
It's been a busy few weeks for Rockstar and Take-Two following a series of leaked GTA 6 gameplay videos and images. Beginning in mid-August 2026, an anonymous individual or group calling itself CyberLeek began publishing unreleased Grand Theft Auto 6 material. CyberLeek's manifesto Accompanying the first leak were some "commandments" from CyberLeek, including: Thou Shalt Not Sell Digital Preorders Thou Shalt Not Sell Fake Single-Player DLC Thou Shalt Preserve Single-Player Content CyberLeek's clearest complaint is around digital preorders. It'll set those interested back a 400 XMR (Monero) fee, which currently converts to just shy of $165,450.

PS2 console vs emulation Original PS2 console Easily play physical games Standardised performance Hardware compatibility Native controller support Natural, unaltered 480i visuals Requires adapters/upscalers for modern screens Emulation Play at higher resolutions Let's you play on handhelds Perks like save states, fast-forwarding, and texture packs Controller mapping for USB pads Saves you from messing with discs Susceptible to bugs, glitches, and performance caveats Don't worry, I'm going to delve into the ins and outs of using original PS2 hardware and DIY solutions. These days, you're looking at around $100 for an original "fat" model or up to $120 for the slim model, typically with a controller and the cords, on eBay in the US, while the UK site has listings for under £30. Therefore, I would advise spending a little more on something like a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 or beefier, like the Retroid Pocket 5 or Mangmi Pocket Max, as you'll then have room to play with x2 or x3 scaling.
Hayden Christensen says he wants to make a live-action Clone Wars series with the OG cast of the prequel series... and that everyone would be down to come back. "I know that Ewan McGregor would love to do more with it," Christensen said on the Hey Jonas podcast, when asked by Kevin Jonas if there would ever be a live-action Anakin series. Until Ahsoka season 1, Christensen had not revisited Anakin since 2005 (though his vocal 'cameo' in The Rise of Skywalker does technically count).
It's called Defender of the Crown: The Legend Returns. We've had a whole bunch of really interesting indie releases on Xbox this week including Wild Blue Skies and Duskfade , and another one is a remake of a 1986 Amiga classic that's just launched on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. The game we're referring to here is called Defender of the Crown: The Legend Returns , and it's a strategy title where you have to try and compete for land by taking part in battles, jousts, rescuing maidens and various other things.
