[ad_1] What’s nice is that on the tech front, Kia has followed in Hyundai’s footsteps by offering ADAS (Advanced Drivers Assistance System) standard on the Soul EV. No matter which trim level you get, it comes with adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist. While driving in Seoul’s morning traffic, the system had no problem tracking […]

Land Rover’s Evoque hides off-road tech behind a luxury SUV
[ad_1] The Evoque (starting at $42,650) is the baby of the Range Rover lineup. It’s smaller, less expensive and it’s one of the best selling vehicles in the automaker’s stable. And it’s no wonder. It shares the interior luxury, off-road attributes and asphalt driving experience found in other Land Rover vehicles with an updated tech […]
HTC Streamlink turns VR headsets into big screens for console gaming
[ad_1] Just to be clear, HTC isn’t here to replace your PS VR nor Labo VR Kit. Instead, it’s all about playing your usual console games on a much larger virtual screen — and ideally on the sharp 2,880 x 1,600 AMOLED display on the Vive Pro and Vive Focus series. I was able to […]
Scream your head off to survive in ‘Supermarket Shriek’
[ad_1] Getting through the grocery store with your sanity intact can be tough — what with the legions of shelf stockers, geriatric Rascal riders and bawling basket babies blocking you at seemingly every aisle. But that’s a walk in the park compared to the challenges you’ll face in Supermarket Shriek by UK-based studio, BillyGoat Entertainment. […]
Nintendo’s Labo turns the Switch into a perfect VR gateway
[ad_1] With the Toy-Con Blaster, I fought off an alien invasion as I walked down a city street. It works like a shotgun: First you have to pull the barrel back, then you can hit a button to take out an alien. Again, I didn’t expect much, but the Switch still managed to let me […]
The Oculus Rift S is impressive but unnecessary
[ad_1] The Rift S is the direct descendant of the first Rift and offers a slew of improvements over the original. The S includes upgraded lenses, a fifth onboard position tracking sensor, slightly better screen resolution and some handy new software features to boot. The S weighs a touch more than the first Rift, but […]
‘Hamsterdam’ is the rhythmic rodent brawler we’ve been waiting for
[ad_1] You play as Pimm, an unassuming denizen of the quiet town of Hamsterdam, who must defend his home and rescue his grandfather from the villainous Vermin Gang and its leader, Marlo the Chinchilla. That task involves beating the stuffing out of an army of rats, foxes, and a menagerie of other rodents using your […]
Four players fight for undersea supremacy in ‘Swimsanity’
[ad_1] I was afforded a quick demo of the game at the Nintendo Nindies event at GDC 2019 on Wednesday and it left me breathless. The visuals are bright with a slightly cartoony art style that lends to the lighthearted (albeit intense) action. The controls are equally crisp and responsive — players aim their fire […]
A week with Twitter’s attempt at a more civil internet
[ad_1] With Twttr, the company says it wants to make conversations easier to read, understand and join. And to do that it’s using features like color-coded chat bubbles to help you browse threads more efficiently. For instance, if someone you follow replies to one of your tweets, their response will be highlighted by a light-blue […]
Apple iPad Air hands-on (2019): Just ‘Pro’ enough
[ad_1] We’ve been testing the new, $499 iPad Air for a little over a day now, and it’ll be a while yet before we publish our full review. At this point, though, it’s already clear that the new iPad Air sits in a sweet spot that a lot of people are going to find compelling. […]
