Asus RT-BE88U review
Is there anything Asus doesn't make? The Taiwanese company has knocked out everything from 80486 motherboards to PhysX cards, to some excellent gaming laptops, and you'd expect its Wi-Fi routers to be top quality too. For the most part, this new Wi-Fi 7 model is exactly that, but it comes with a specific omission.
A new hero has emerged as Elden Ring players help each other prepare for the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC—the fearsome Let Me Comet Him
We've only got to wait a few hours until the floodgates finally open and players are let into Elden Ring's new DLC Shadow of the Erdtree.

As time begins to run out for those wishing to start the DLC as soon as it releases, the community is banding together and helping each other defeat The Omen.
Amazon eero Max 7 review
Wi-Fi 7 has its benefits, sure, but at $600 per unit, which each covering over 200m², you still need to be absolutely sure the impressive Amazon Eero Max 7 is the router for you. It's a mesh system, too, so chances are you'll want two or three to dot around your country estate, and the cost soon mounts up.

Turtle Beach Atlas Air review
Out of the box the Atlas Air is an underwhelming affair. It's an open-back wireless gaming headset with much emphasis placed on its lightness, which explains its pared back look. It weighs a light 301 grams and, compared to some of the competition in this price range, it definitely feels less like an expensive jewel in the hands and more like a blunt weapon.
'Did I make too big of a game?' Lead designer of sky-high city builder Airborne Empire on wanting to build a 'Skyrim or a Breath of the Wild'-sized world
Building a city in the sky in 2020's Airborne Kingdom was a mostly chill experience—while you were in a constant war with gravity as you attempted to expand your city while keeping it aloft and balanced, there were no traditional enemies to fight. It was also a relatively short game that could be fully completed in about 10 hours.
Cyberpunk 2077: All Cyberpunk Slang Explained & Defined
For the cybernetic citizens of, futuristic slang is part of everyday conversation — but for players conversing in the modern day, it can be a point of confusion. The varied vernacular of Night City can be jarring at first, especially to those who are not versed in the complex, intricate lore of the long-running franchise. At times, it can even feel like V and their acquaintances are speaking another language entirely.
