You have just three days left to claim this month’s Humble Choice games and bag yourself $249.99 worth of fantastic adventures for just $14.99. All these titles are either Steam Deck Verified or Playable, making them ideal for firing up on your choice of gaming handheld, with the highlight being the open-world, platforming fun of Sonic Frontiers. The Steam Deck has very much earned the title of ‘best gaming handheld,’ but this list of games should work great on whatever handheld you’re using. Whether it’s the turn-based strategy of Metal Slug Tactics or the dungeon-diving roguelike of Wizard of Legend…

We’re in an era of crunchy, meticulous games. I feel like the success of titles such as The Roottrees are Dead and Return of the Obra Dinn showed how many of us get excited about the idea of really poring over elements in an attempt to solve mysteries. Inkle’s been pretty good at offering these types of experiences before, what with Heaven’s Vault making us consider our choices and deciphering texts, and TR-49 offers the same kind of delightfully difficult experience. TR-49 is designed to be immersive and, even though we’re largely spending our time looking at an ancient textual…

Image via Strange Scaffold A made $5,000 betting on a baby because a dog/consultant named Chad Shakespeare gave me a tip that his future had about a 79% chance of being positive. Which was good, as the day before I decided to “short” another infant at the wrong time. That’s what life is like in Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator, a stock market game about betting on the value of a newborn so you can do stuff like buy a kickass boat. It’s pretty great! There are three campaigns in Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator, each a different length and…

Verdict AMD takes the gaming performance crown again, with the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D continuing the company’s run of “fastest gaming CPU in the world” titles. The performance uplift isn’t always huge here, but it’s definitely noticeable, and only comes with a small bump in price. The 3D V-Cache tech in this CPU also helps reduce the impact of slower RAM, potentially saving you what would currently be a costly RAM upgrade. Still, this is an expensive CPU for just eight cores, so it isn’t such an obvious choice unless gaming frame rates is your sole focus. Pros Chart-topping gaming…

Verdict The Novablade Pro ticks every box for competitive players while also satisfying casual players with the inclusion of 2.4GHz functionality across PC and PS5. If you’re sick of dealing with trailing cables across your living room floor, this is a no-brainer option. Pros Highly customizable to fit your preferences Virtually flawless 2.4GHz wireless support Programmable actuation keys adds customization Cons Lacks iCUE software support No manual/legend for showing what extra keys do Begging for an OLED screen to help adjust settings Corsair has stepped into the ring with its take on the leverless controller trend and landed some heavy…

Verdict The Valerion VisionMaster Pro2 is a truly spectacular projector that’s ideal both for home cinema use and as a fast refresh rate gaming projector setup. Its triple-laser system produces fantastically sharp, bright, and high contrast 4K image quality and has a decently quick response time, all without the need to ever swap projector bulbs. It’s limited to 60Hz at 4K but can deliver up to 240Hz at 1080p, allowing for fast, smooth gameplay when required. It’s a proper investment, though, at well over $2,000. Pros Stunning image quality Superbly fast gaming performance Stylish, compact design Laser projection means no…

Image via Clumsy Bear Studio Another week, another deck-building roguelike. At least, that is how it can seem sometimes. Hungry Horrors, which just entered early access, is the latest installment in the genre. While it is, at its core, about crafting the right kind of deck of cards to ensure attacks compliment each other and eliminate enemies, the execution is different due to the premise of a princess using meals she cooked to fill up opponents rather than eat her. At the moment, the result is an experience that feels more controlled than some similar titles. Hungry Horrors begins with…

Verdict Significantly cheaper than Valve’s Steam Deck Docking Station, the Jsaux Upgraded 5-in-1 Docking Station has one less USB port than the official version at less than a third of the price. It’s also well-built and smart-looking, making it an easy recommendation. Pros Fantastic value Great build quality Loads of connections Fits wide range of gaming handhelds Cons Xbox Ally X doesn’t fit in it One less USB port than Valve’s dock Valve’s Steam Deck Dock is a great addition to your Steam Deck setup, if you need an easy way to connect your device to a TV and other…

Nvidia is in the midst of a class action lawsuit brought about by several authors, citing alleged copyright infringement for the company’s LLM AI models. New documents from that case have come to light, showing that Nvidia employees directly requested access to 500 terabytes of book archives known to contain pirated data. The documents come from the complainant in this case and show emails from Nvidia employees requesting access to the Anna’s Archive repository of books and other online works. The documents then suggest that it was made clear to the Nvidia employee that this archive contained “millions of pirated…
