Combining fast arcade racing with nostalgic plastic, Hot Wheels Unleashed aims to give players the white-knuckle toy car racing experience the brand’s commercials always promised.

Guiding these plastic vehicles through vibrantly colored race tracks housed in oversized rooms very effectively evokes the memory of setting up the original toys in my own living room when I…
Wondering why you’re hearing a lot about Clubhouse? Much like the “Gamestonk” controversy, we can partially blame Elon Musk. By popping up in a Clubhouse room in January 2021, the world’s (sometimes) richest man brought the service a lot of attention. Bill Gates did the same, and it has steamrolled on. Here’s what you need to know about the audio chat app.Okay, so what is it?Here’s the gist: Imagine you have an app on your phone that lets you listen in on other people’s live conversations. But not in a creepy way; these people want to be heard. They may…

The Asus ZenBook 14 UX425 is the best laptop under $1,000. It’s a budget PC with great performance, thanks to a cutting-edge CPU, a near-premium build quality, and a low-power and high-quality display that’s very hard to find at such a low price. We’re not just picking our favorite sub-$1,000 laptops out of thin air, though. We’ve reviewed hundreds of laptops of all kinds and at all prices, spending thousands of hours doing so. It’s a Herculean task for sure (and a lot of fun, frankly), and it has given us great insight into what makes for a good laptop and what…
Ever since Doom became a mainstream hit, first-person shooters, or Doom clones, as they were originally called, have easily taken the throne as the most popular gaming genre. While originally thought to be a genre only possible, or at least enjoyable, on PCs, console FPS games have come so far that they now equal or eclipse the number of players on PC. In the decades since we started shooting demons, FPS games have explored just about every possible setting, time period, and style. Sure, we’re still shooting demons today, but in a way that looks and plays far better than ever before. The PlayStation…

Players will collect health chips rather than money, they can fight with other players, and they’ll even need to stay ahead of the storm. It’s available…
You may have heard that “the iPhone” is the most popular smartphone in the US. But that’s not quite accurate, because there are a lot of different iPhone models being sold right now. At the time of this writing, Apple itself is offering eight different iPhone models. Survey the shelves at the three major US carriers, as well as Metro and Cricket, and that number rises much higher. Apple’s eight models each have a specific appeal, whether it’s in terms of price, size, features, or battery life. As for models being sold by the carriers, we see arguments for the…
Don’t be surprised if you see Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin’s protagonist, Jack Garland, in your town whenever Limp Bizkit or Nickelback are playing nearby. As it turns out, he’s a huge fan of butt rock.Final Fantasy Origin’s latest demo, which was released today along with a new trailer for the game, includes more content than the game’s last demo. That includes some extra cutscenes too, notably including one where Neon, one of the game’s main party members, talks about her backstory. Appropriately, Jack calls Neon’s entire story “Bull****” and starts walking away, but not before taking out his…
