Hot on the heels of Nintendo surprising the world with a new Switch console packing an OLED screen and some other new goodies, a bunch of the best games for the console just went on sale. We’ve seen minor price drops for a handful of Switch games since the company’s presentation at E3 this year, but …

Amazon is one of the most successful businesses on the planet, but it’s also got issues, which we’ve been spotlighting in the runup to the company’s popular Prime Day sales. A lot of that revolves around its workplace and its workers, the very people making sure that what you’re buying gets to you in a timely manner. Warehouse employees and …

Now that E3 2021 has wrapped up, gamers have an eclectic batch of releases to wish list — with Nintendo announcing some noteworthy surprises on the Switch and Microsoft serving up new Xbox titles left and right. For the vast majority of the games announced at this year’s E3, you’ll need to mark your calendars for this fall, with many …

At an all-virtual E3 video game show with only a handful of standout surprises, the biggest news to me was just how central Xbox Game Pass has become to the Xbox ecosystem. Microsoft’s subscription service was already a must-have to many gamers, but it’s now becoming the first stop for many of the biggest upcoming Xbox games.  Originally, Xbox Game …

Reports said Nintendo might announce a new Switch Pro soon. As of this year’s virtual E3, it still hasn’t happened. And, maybe, that should have been expected all along. Nintendo’s four-year-old-plus Switch hardware still doesn’t have a successor yet. The relatively low-key E3 edition of Nintendo Direct was full of games, including WarioWare, a new 2D Metroid game and another teaser for Legend …

We’ll let Razer have its 5 minutes of E3 glory for the “world’s fastest 14-inch gaming laptop,” the Razer Blade 14. Razer’s simply the first to announce one this size with an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX — also Razer’s first AMD CPU in the Blade line — and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 crammed inside. But a svelte, small, no-compromise …

Microsoft used its Xbox E3 livestreamed event Sunday to talk about most of the games we wanted to hear about: Starfield, Halo Infinite, Stalker 2 and even Diablo II Remastered. But what was especially interesting was how many of the games mentioned by the Xbox team at E3 2021 are coming to Xbox Game Pass, the console, PC and cloud game-subscription …

This year’s E3 PC Gaming Show hurled trailer after trailer of upcoming (and some already available) games at us, though as you’d expect there weren’t many hotly anticipated games. Premieres included: Citizen Sleeper, a complex but cool-looking survival RPG where you’re going to be put out of commission by An Evil Company. Tinykin, an utterly adorbs 3D platformer we won’t …

Like nearly every other big industry show or public gathering over the past 15 months, the 2021 E3 video game trade show is happening virtually. The 2020 version of the event, which is usually held at the Los Angeles Convention Center, didn’t even make it that far. It was unceremoniously canceled shortly after COVID-19 shutdowns started.  This year, E3 is …

This week started off with a whole lot of Apple, which used its WWDC events to talk directly to developers working on software for Macs, iPhones, iPads and so on — but also indirectly to everyone who uses those devices. We learned a lot about iOS 15, MacOS Monterey, WatchOS 8, new privacy tools and more. Developer betas of all …
