This may not come as much of a surprise, but I spend roughly the same amount of time sitting at my desk as I do in bed every night. Most of my work revolves around my computer, and as such, I’m tied to a desk. However, not all desks are created equally, and recently I’ve stopped sitting quite so much.
If I’m gaming in the living room on my couch, there’s really only one input device that I generally want to use. For years I’ve struggled with the idea of using a keyboard and mouse, as I’m typically a PC gamer. However, a controller is just easier to accommodate when you aren’t sitting in front of the desk. And that’s the exact problem that Corsair is trying to solve with their new Lapdog.
When it comes to desktop keyboards, there are generally two types to choose from. There are those with the typical rubber-dome keys, and those that use mechanical switches. Gamers tend to gravitate toward the latter for many reasons, and the latest keyboard from Steelseries takes a different approach to the mechanical keyboard.
When the average user goes to buy a mouse, they usually don't care much about it, aside from the fact that it works, and is comfortable. However, when a PC gamer is in the market for a new mouse, there are a plethora of options that need to be considered. Buttons, sensors, weight, and more can all affect how your device performs during a game. Today, we're going to take a look at the Steelseries Rival 700.
VR is one of those technologies that we've dreamed of for decades, but has only just become a reality. Sure, we had the Virtual Boy back in the 90's, and a handful of other “virtual reality” games over the years. However, there is really one company that's responsible for the current state of virtual reality. Yet somehow their grip on VR dominance is slipping.
At E3 last week, there was no shortage of VR games on the show floor. Many of the games that were being shown off were single-player experiences. However, there was one multiplayer game that really caught my attention. Ubisoft was showing off a Star Trek game that would finally let us command a star ship, and we’d get to do it in virtual reality.
New hardware wasn’t the only major announcement at the Microsoft briefing today. Ever since Quantum Break for the Xbox One was said to come with a PC copy of the game, people have speculated that this would become a staple of the Xbox platform. Today, that became a reality.
As expected, Microsoft kicked off their Xbox E3 2016 briefing by announcing a new Xbox. Just like they did several years back, they have slimmed down their current console, but physical size isn’t the only thing that’s new about the Xbox One S.
Yesterday some lucky gamers stumbled onto one of the best deals that you can find on a game. Fallout 4 was listed for free on the Xbox store. In fact, you could even pick up the Deluxe Edition of the game, which includes all current and future DLC without paying a dime. Was this perhaps this was part of some strange E3 promotion from Bethesda and Microsoft? No, sadly not.
If you're confident and act as though you belong somewhere, chances are that few people will question your presence. And as a pair of thieves recently learned, it helps if you're dressed appropriately. At the SoHo Apple store, two people were able to simply walk in, and take 19 iPhones from a drawer, and walk out as if nothing happened, just because they were confident and dressed the part.
We've been expecting a confirmation from Sony regarding the rumored 4K "Neo" PlayStation. While we expected that it would come around this time, the logical time for the announcement would be next Monday, at the company's E3 press conference. However, Sony has decided to surprise fans, though it might not necessarily be a good thing.
With E3 just around the corner, both of the biggest players in the console market are gearing up to make some big announcements. While they're obviously trying to keep things quiet, it can be hard to keep big hardware launches under wraps in this day and age. So today we're going to take a look at what we can expect from Sony's E3 conference.
