HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 gaming headset review — All plastic, hold the fantastic

The HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 is a fully plastic, straight to the point kind of headset. It doesn’t come with anyfancy tricksor odd gimmicks to try and make it seem grander than it really is. And I like that. But, at the same time, you also have to consider that this simplistic approach also means what you see, or in this case,hear,is what you’re going to get. In the several hours and different scenarios I’ve put the Cloud Stinger 2 through, my thoughts of it are basically summed up with, “It’s nice,but…”...

Imagination spotlights likely iPhone 6 GPU: 192 cores, 4K resolution, smokes Tegra K1 violently

Apple’s been using GPU parts from Imagination Technologies since switching to its own in-house designed iOS device processors, starting with the iPhone 3Gs in 2009. This UK-based firm does not churn out actual chips. Instead, it licenses out its GPU designs and intellectual property to vendors like Apple, Intel, Qualcomm and many others – that’s why “they” call it a fabless semiconductor maker. Now, Apple’s engine that powers iOS devices typically combines Imagination’s GPU and ARM’s CPU blueprints with some memory, I/O logic and other supporting functions on a single die, a solution known in the semiconductor industry as a system-on-a-chip (SoC)....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NNNHLjMc9I Many watchers, this author included, never thought phablets would make an impact. But they are taking off, mostly due to Samsung’s Note series, an Android-driven smartphone/tablet computer hybrid (hence, a “phablet”)introduced in October 2011. It tallied a respectable ten million shipments as of July 16, 2025. Not bad for a product category that virtually didn’t exist a couple years back.

Remnant 2 Dark Horizon review – A fitting farewell

Ever since Remnant 2 first came out, I have been an avid fan of the game, with its fast-paced, brutal gameplay, sci-fi fantasy aesthetic, and impressive variety of load-outs. I feel that the team at Gunfire Games managed to make a title that perfectly slipped right in between the souls and shooter genres while adding a tremendous multiplayer element to boot. However, after a year and three DLCs, have they kept the magic or let it slip with Dark Horizon?...

Review: The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II is an Incredible RPG

The Legend of Heroesgames seem to have been around since time immemorial. It can be a daunting series for newcomers looking for a place to jump in. Starting from the beginning and playing all the games is naturally the best answer, but not practical for most situations. The series does go through story arcs and last year’sTrails Through Daybreakis a great starting point for newcomers. Not only is it the beginning of the Calvard story arc, but it was also a standout title in a year that was stacked with great games....
