Best smartphones: The best phones available to buy today Nokia through the years: The best and worst phones, in pictures Samsung P300 Looked more like a calculator than a phone, but it was 2006. Bang and Olufsen Serenata A colab between Bang & Olufsen and Samsung, this had a price tag of $2,000. Expensive even by today’s standards. Bang and Olufsen Serene Before the Serenata was a desk-based phone from B&O that featured an iPod-style scroll wheel....

It’s hard to have a conversation about the greatest video games of all time without mentioning The Witcher 3. CD Projekt Red completely knocked it out of the park with this incredible title, providing a fitting and satisfying story to the epic story of Geralt. There are simply way too many things to praise about this landmark title, Whether it be the visuals, narrative, characters, combat, or anything else along the same lines — The Witcher 3 somehow manages to excel in all departments....
The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt is pretty often considered one of the best RPGs available for the last-gen systems. It might even place in the top 10 of the best RPGs in general. It has an absolutely stellar story, some incredible questlines, and characters that the player can easily find themselves caring about. That being said, according to a lot of fans of the franchise, The Witcher 3 might have some of the weakest combat in the series....
As far as fantasy games are concerned, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the most popular - even though it came out in 2015. The base game told about Geralt’s fight against the Wild Hunt, but two more DLCs followed it. One focused on Geralt dealing with the demon/devil Gaunter O’Dimm while the second one saw him fighting vampires in the lovely duchy of Toussaint. Both Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine introduced a lot of new characters and gave a new meaning to some of the old ones....
In June, it was announced that season two of Netflix’s The Witcher would resume filming on August 17 after production was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Director Stephen D Surjik, however, posted an image from the set on August 5, letting fans know that the hit show was up and running. Now we’ve been treated to an image of Henry Cavill in the makeup chair, looking bruised and battered....
Tensions are high here on the eve of Super Bowl LV, as the Kansas City Chiefs look to repeat what they did one year ago to become back-to-back Super Bowl champions. Of course, to do so, they’ll have to go through Tom Brady and his Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who just so happen to be playing the game on their home field, marking the first time in NFL history that a team has played in the Super Bowl in their own stadium....

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is easily one of the breakout characters for the next generation of the MCU, and clearly, Marvel has taken notice. Even before Phase 4 was announced, the company was already setting up the character as a successor to Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark, positioning him as an apprentice of sorts who was learning from and looked up to Iron Man. So when Tony Stark sacrificed himself in Avengers: Endgame, it wasn’t a big surprise that Spider-Man: Far From Home centered Peter Parker’s arc on moving past Iron Man and forging his own identity as a hero....
As a fan of retro-style platforming titles, I couldn’t help but be drawn to Toree 3D, available now on itch.io. The late-90s low poly aesthetic presented in a 3D fashion - not to mention the playable character’s double-jump ability - had me intrigued enough to check out the game. An indie platforming adventure from developer Siactro, the game is definitely nowhere near as polished, but I can’t help but be reminded of Super Mario 64....
When it comes to video games, horror is one of the toughest genres to get right. While there have been many successful iterations of its ilk throughout the years – the survival-horror classic Resident Evil 2 comes to mind, as well as the sleeper hit Amnesia: The Dark Descent – lots of titles like Aliens: Colonial Marines and AMY fail to truly deliver the proper amalgamation of well-designed gameplay mechanics and creepy, terrifying atmospherics....
Trophies are proof of a player’s skill in battle in Valheim. Players can use the heads of the slain as decorations and hang Valheim trophies on the walls of their homes. But some trophies also have extra uses, like the Drake trophy. Drakes Drakes are a flying, dragon-like enemy that appears in the Mountain biome. Drakes have icy breath that can freeze and damage players, but they drop some very coveted loot....
After Marvel’s initial success bringing their comic book characters to the silver screen, superheroes have gained traction in all forms of media. This massive popularity and success is apparent in hits like Insomniac Games’ Spider-Man for the PS4 and the upcoming Avengers game. Now, comic book publisher Valiant Entertainment is looking to grow in a similar fashion, and it is choosing to start with Shadow Man, one of its most popular characters....
Valve has scrapped its plans to host a CS:GO Major tournament in the spring of 2021, according to a report from HLTV. The developer reportedly sent an email to tournament organizers explaining their decision to cancel the planned 2021 event. A fall Major is still planned for next year. Valve released the CS:GO Major event schedule for 2021 and 2022 earlier this year, setting the spring 2021 Major to run from May 10-23rd....
Valve is taking a hands-off approach to review bombing with their latest update, and not everyone is happy about it. Steam has a problem with review bombing. On the one hand, developers hate it since user review scores are incredibly important and negative reviews can really affect a game’s sales. On the other hand, gamers see it as one of the few ways they can really let their voices be heard on such topics as digital rights management, excessive microtransactions, or poor developer support....
Sometimes, publishers hire TV and film actors to do voice over work in video games - and sometimes, those actors accidently reveal what they’re working on. This seems to be one of those times, as a voice actor may have let it slip that he’s working on the oft-rumored Army of Four. Joe Flanigan, star on TV shows like Stargate: Atlantis and Fringe tweeted on Saturday that he “just signed on to do the new Ao4 video game for Electronic Arts....
If you’re the type of Star Wars fan who wants to see a lightsaber work in real life, your dreams have finally come true.

This article contains spoilers for WandaVision episode 8. With only one episode left to go, WandaVision is quickly approaching its big Marvel finale (one that Paul Bettany has promised fans will definitely happen). While episode 7 ended with the big reveal that Agnes has actually been Agatha Harkness all along, This week’s episode did a really great job in revealing the story’s real villain, one who has been present the entire time but has never actually been seen on screen....
Marvel’s WandaVision has been reliably keeping audiences on their toes with new twists and turns every episode, and last week’s cliffhanger left many viewers concerned about the fate of several characters, including Kat Dennings’ Dr. Darcy Lewis. Luckily, it looks like her fellow star, Teyonah Parris, has good reason for fans to rest easy. Parris, who plays the more-important-than-she-seems Monica Rambeau on WandaVision, recently spoke about the developments in that particular episode, specifically why she thinks these characters were more prepared for the various shenanigans than many realized....
