Blizzard has officially unveiled Overwatch 2's next support hero as Juno, a bubbly astronaut healer who will be playable in a limited-time «hero trial» that starts on July 19—that's tomorrow—and runs until July 21 on all platforms.
Counter-Strike recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, and is more popular than ever. The original Half-Life mod became a standalone title after Valve hired co-creators Minh «Gooseman» Le and Jesse «Cliffe» Cliffe, and since then has iterated and grown into the most popular competitive FPS on the planet, with over 30 million monthly players.
At an event in Los Angeles last week, AMD went through in more detail all the changes it's introducing with the Zen 5 CPU architecture. For a brief while, the chip giant also explained what's new in RDNA 3.5—a «fractional improvement» that's been «bolted onto» the current graphics processor design. In short, it's all about optimising rendering performance in mobile applications.
When you think of Dyson, you probably think of vacuum cleaners. Or perhaps those fancy hand-dryer thingys that force you to move your hands up and down in a slot in posh pub toilets. But think again! It's just announced a set of noise-cancelling headphones, and they look absolutely humongous.
Lenovo has sat in the top spot of our best gaming laptop guide for well over a year now—the Legion Pro 7i Gen 8 delivering a superb mix of performance, size and price. I had expected similar results from the Legion Pro 5i Gen 9. Instead, I'm feeling miffed by the new Gen 9 model.

If I were to ask you what core values were embodied in western AI, what would you tell me? Unorthodox pizza technique? Annihilating the actually good parts of copyright law? The resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come?
This week the Russian antivirus company Kaspersky Labs announced it is withdrawing from the United States, following a June decision by the Biden administration to ban the sale of Kaspersky software over alleged links to the Kremlin. This was the culmination of a series of restrictions imposed by the US government: In 2017 the Department of Homeland Security issued a directive banning federal agencies from using Kaspersky software, while in 2018 the same rule was applied to the US military.
I'll admit I've never been a fan of League of Legends. I gave it the old college try after a group of friends convinced me to play about six years ago, but that's as far as my experience goes. My partner on the other hand is an avid fan. Having spent over a decade playing, with his first ranked season being season two, he's been trying to get me back in the saddle to no avail—until now. But that's thanks to its new game mode and my partner convincing me it's pretty much Vampire Survivors.
