Philips and AOC’s upcoming 5th-gen OLED gaming monitors were a feast for my eyes and a dire threat to my wallet

5th-generation QD-OLED panels solve one of the biggest critiques levied at OLED monitors: Font fringing. With burn-in becoming less and less of an issue and prices steadily going down, blurry text is one of the biggest hurdles giving IPS any sort of an edge anymore. AOC and its sister company Philips both have 5th-generation QD-OLED…

If Lee Cronin’s The Mummy is too much for you, try Mummies Alive!

Lee Cronin’s The Mummy is in theaters now, and by all accounts, it’s a really gruesome, terrifying horror movie that updates the mummy genre for a new age (and has nothing to do with the Brendan Fraser franchise). That’s all well and good, but in case you’re not into that level of gore, allow me…

Little Guy Solves Big Puzzles In Gecko Gods

The sequel to flying city-builder Airborne Kingdom just hit 1.0 with a huge update and a 50% discount

Airborne Kingdom was one of the early pioneers of what I’ve dubbed the “weird city builder” trend, one that takes the genre out of its realistic, SimCity-esque roots and plonks it on the back of a dinosaur or in a world populated by beavers. In Airborne Kingdom’s case, the gimmick was building a flying city,…

Europe Image: Nintendo / Launchbox There is a lot going on in the European design. The game’s new key art is relegated to the titular box in the centre, with six of its puzzles highlighted around the outside. A bright red background keeps everything perfectly eye-catching, but it’s perhaps a little busy, no? North America…
