After a nearly two-decade hiatus, ToeJam & Earl is making a comeback with the fourth entry in the franchise ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove, due for release in March 2019. Originally released in 1991, ToeJam & Earl is a rogue-like adventure which sees you playing as two funky aliens from the planet Funkotron. The last game in the series ToeJam & Earl III: Mission to Earth was released in 2002. However, the later games in the series were not particularly well received so original co-creator Gre

Nvidia has got together with EA DICE to boost the performance of ray tracing in Battlefield V with its GeForce RTX graphics cards via new drivers, with a massive performance increase of up to 50% promised. Variable rate ray tracing also allows the game engine to direct the rays where they matter to the image the most, and by picking and choosing more optimally on this front, performance is boosted.

Early in 2018, we discovered that Microsoft was working on a lightweight version of Windows codenamed Polaris, intended to be optimised for tablets and 2-in-1s as well as desktop and laptops. According to Brad Sams , a journalist known for breaking news on Microsoft, the computing giant has left a considerable amount of clues in its insider builds of Windows 10 about the lighter version of the OS. This, in conjunction with insider knowledge, has lead Sams to make some educated guesses about what

It’s no secret that Google’s Pixel 3 has seen its share of teething problems since launch, including a photo saving issue, disappearing text messages, overheating and a ghastly second notch. At the very top of the list, “Improved memory performance in certain circumstances” takes precedence, meaning we should hopefully see an end to background apps being closed prematurely. The Pixel 3’s camera will also receive “improved camera shutter performance” and “adjusted autofocus behavior”. Other fixes

And that has led to an upset in the rankings: in IDC’s Q2 2018 report, Apple held the lead in number of wearables shipped globally, but only just. The global wearables market benefits from geographic differences, according to Ramon T. Llamas , research director for IDC’s Wearables team. Samsung rounded out the top five with 1.8 million devices shipped, managing to grow 91% from the 900,000 devices it shipped in Q3 2017.

Some fresh figures show that AMD’s processors are outselling Intel at a rapid pace at least going by one online retailer. Yes – we’ll repeat that, because it bears repeating: AMD sold about twice as many processors, over 16,000 of them in fact, with Intel selling just under 8,000. This is also interesting from a historical perspective, as Intel’s sales have remained roughly flat, with the firm having shifted around the same amount in November of last year. However, AMD sold almost double the amo
