[ad_1] Unlike the main entries in the series, which are tower defense games, Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville is more in line with Garden Warfare and its sequel. Teams of plants and zombies face off in battle across six multiplayer modes, but this isn’t a kid-friendly version of Fortnite; think more along the lines […]

A month on, Apple Arcade is too cheap to quit
[ad_1] Mat SmithBureau Chief, UK Sayonara Wild Hearts ticks all the hipster mores to ensure it’ll become a keystone title for Apple Arcade, even if it’s not an exclusive to iOS. As we collected our favorite games and thoughts on this new gaming service, I discovered I had played (and liked) more games than anyone […]
Nintendo’s ‘Ring Fit Adventure’ hides grown-up workouts in a kids’ game
[ad_1] And you guys, he’s kind of the worst. (Test notes from Mat: “Ring is annoying and can fuck off.”) To be fair, this is a kid’s game — or at least, a game sanitized enough to merit a family-friendly ‘E’ rating. To my ears, Ring sounds like a generic cartoon character from any show […]

If you take advantage of an onsite coupon, you can get $24 off the console, making it $275, instead of $299. Note that the discount is applied on checkout, and […]
Nintendo Switch sales top 15 million in North America alone
[ad_1] As Nintendo heads into a holiday season with both the OG Switch and Switch Lite on store shelves, the company is celebrating 10 months in a row of being the best selling console in the US, according to NPD numbers. That’s enough to cross the 15 million sales mark in North America, and just […]
HTC Vive Cosmos review: Too late, too expensive
[ad_1] Once I worked through the software issues, the Vive Cosmos managed to deliver a solid high-end VR experience. In the shooter Raw Data, the high-res displays made the environments look crisper and more detailed than on the Vive. It was also a great test for the Cosmos’s tracking and motion controllers, since it involves […]
Google Stadia controller’s wireless capability will be limited at launch
[ad_1] Since the Stadia controller only uses Bluetooth for setup and connects via WiFi for gameplay, you truly can’t use it without a cable at first. It’s still not clear when wireless play will be available for the other Stadia-compatible devices, but the tech giant told The Verge that it’s focusing on getting wireless right […]
Master & Dynamic’s MW07 Go is a $199 AirPod alternative
[ad_1] M&D says it discovered people were using the MW07 for workouts, even though they weren’t specifically built for it. That first model is only IPX4 rated against splashes. That’s probably enough to keep sweat from ruining the $299 earbuds, but much of the competition offers more substantial protection. In response to customer feedback, the […]
Wizards Unite’ gathered location data while users slept
[ad_1] Kotaku looked at 25,000 location records shared with it by 10 players of Niantic games. It found that Niantic kept about three location records per minute of Wizards Unite gameplay. That was nearly twice as many records as it kept for Pokémon Go. In one case, Niantic had at least one location record taken […]
Phone-based VR is well and truly dead
[ad_1] But now, it seems, the dream of smartphone-based VR is over. After Google’s Pixel event yesterday, the company announced that its latest flagship smartphone will not be Daydream compatible. In addition, it’s stopping the sales of Daydream View headsets entirely. In a statement, Google said that there “hasn’t been the broad consumer or developer […]
