7810078100Razer Blade 18 review: Overpowered and oversized
Packing new 13th-gen Intel chips and 40-series NVIDIA GPUs, the Blade 18 is Razer's biggest and most powerful gaming laptop yet. But starting at $2,900, it's also one of its most expensive, so what does all the cash really get you?

‘Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo’ is a delightfully subversive visual novel
What makes visual novel Paranormasight so much fun to play through is a rich vein of subversion. The characters have plenty of delightful quirks, which reminds me of Capcom’s Phoenix Wright series, but Paranormasight feels a little smarter.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a great kids film, but it's afraid to take any major creative risks.

5910059100Acer Helios 300 SpatialLabs Edition review: Glasses-free 3D is just pointless
While Acer's Predator Helios 300 SpatialLabs Edition has cool glasses-free 3D tech, it’s not supported by enough games to justify its $3,500 price.

'Resident Evil 4' review: A half-step backward for Capcom remakes
The Resident Evil 4 remake starts out strong, but as the game grows in complexity, it becomes clumsy. In comparison to the recent RE2 and RE3 remakes, RE4 feels unfinished, or at least un-finessed.

8410084100PlayStation VR2 review: A great headset that should be cheaper
The PSVR2 is a massive step forward from the original PSVR, thanks to its high-resolution screens and innovative features like headset haptics. But its high price and potentially limited library limits its appeal to diehard VR fanatics.

'Dead Space' review: The new benchmark for video game remakes
Playing the Dead Space remake feels like snuggling into a cozy sweater made out of bloody, infected flesh and razor-sharp bone fragments. It’s scary, yes, but in a way that makes you laugh after jumping in fright.

8310083100Ayaneo 2 review: A more premium (and pricier) take on the Steam Deck
For people searching for a more premium take on the Steam Deck, the Ayaneo 2 is it. It's got a faster CPU, a much nicer screen and a more compact design, though it costs more too.
Forspoken review: A magical world with several cracks
In the PS5- and PC-exclusive, Forspoken, you control the agile, angry Frey, slinging elemental attacks (and f-bombs) at multiple monsters before leaping off a cliff face and swinging from a molten outcrop. You keep moving, through the lands of Athia, through the adventure, because it’s really fun and satisfying, but also because when you slow down, you start to see the cracks. Fortunately, the fluidity of movement and range of spells, keeps the core gameplay entertaining.

Samsung's Odyssey Ark is notable for being the first dedicated 55-inch gaming monitor, but its software is half-baked and the screen is sometimes too overwhelming.

Ayaneo’s Air Pro is a taste of the portable PC gaming future

'The Callisto Protocol' didn't scare me, it just made me mad
The Callisto Protocol steadily introduces enemies, abilities, weapons and beautiful, mazelike environments – until, eventually, the game collapses under the weight of its own mechanics.
