Still, it’s indicative of the myriad smaller changes that coalesce to make Madden NFL 19 such a riot to play. Rookies, this one’s for youWhen it comes to offering something for new or less experienced Madden players, Madden NFL 19 does make an effort to make the game’s myriad modes less daunting. Wade and Cruise are once again at centre stage, but with much of story following their separate stories, Homecoming loses some of the chemistry that made the first instalment in Madden NFL 18 such a wor

If you’re underwhelmed by the current mesh wireless routers on the market, Samsung’s might finally have you what you’re looking for. The router, called the Samsung SmartThings Wifi, is a refresh of last year’s Samsung Connect Home but instead uses Plume’s AI-based mesh technology over Samsung’s in-house tech. On top of providing a formidable 4,500 square feet of coverage, the SmartThings Wifi can also act a SmartThings IoT hub. Add Samsung’s SmartThings IoT platform to the mix that allows you to

The Apple Watch 4 rumors suggest it will follow the same design cues as the watches that have gone before it.

Further evidence has emerged that Google is actively working on introducing support for dual-booting Chromebooks – and not just its Pixelbook – with a so-called AltOS mode that could potentially allow Chrome OS to sit alongside Windows 10, giving the user the option to boot into either. The fresh findings cite multiple mentions of different variants of Campfire, indicating that dual-booting is destined for multiple Chromebooks. Exactly how many notebooks will be supported is still up in the air,

Named after the polar phenomena, Aurora Station is a concept from US space company Orion Span to create a ‘luxury hotel in space’. Aurora Station will offer a ‘true astronaut experience’, but is it a viable ‘space tourism’ product? Are space hotels the next step for space tourism? Orbiting since 1998 and growing all the time, the International Space Station (ISS) is a space laboratory, not a hotel, although is has played host to several multi-millionaire space tourists. Part of the reason why th

Stay awhile and listenThe history goes back further than 2004, however, with the foundations for the world of Azeroth and beyond set in the original Warcraft games. I can only imagine the excitement that players of Warcraft 3 must have felt, to experience the world of Warcraft without the constraints of an isometric viewpoint, and in a fully interactive environment. Despite the lulls that World of Warcraft has encountered, it still remains the most popular MMO on the market. As World of Warcraft

Last week we heard of the brand new Fossil Q Explorist HR and Q Venture HR, and now we’ve just heard of some very similar upgrades to sister brand Michael Kors’ smartwatches with the brand new Access Runway. The Michael Kors Access Runway is more exercise-focused than the fashion watches we’ve seen in the past, thanks to the introduction of heart rate tracking and GPS to track your location without the need of your phone. Unlike previous Michael Kors devices, you can buy this one with silicone s

A couple of weeks ago we saw some basic images of the Huawei Mate 20 Lite, but now we’ve had a much better look at the phone, as detailed renders have been leaked. This is the closest look we’ve had yet at the Huawei Mate 20 Lite and the images match what we’ve seen before, so there’s a good chance they’re accurate.

While Bethesda has decided that Fallout 76 won’t be gracing Steam with its presence – instead being delivered directly to gamers via Bethesda.net – the firm has clarified that this doesn’t mean it’s abandoning Valve’s online games store completely. Pete Hines, senior vice president of global marketing at Bethesda, clarified to IGN: “We did not announce ‘all future Bethesda games will not be on Steam.’ That is not what we said. But clearly, Bethesda doesn’t intend to ditch Steam completely; at le

Fax machines still pose a glaring risk to businesses’ cybersecurity, according to a presentation at an international hacker’s convention in Las Vegas. Speaking to the BBC, one of the researchers, Yaniv Balmas warned that “Fax has no security measures built in – absolutely nothing”. As fax machines tend to be connected to a company’s internal servers, hackers exploiting the ‘weak point’ in the chain could then gain access to the wider network and other sensitive data. All-in-one printers that inc

While all the buzz at the moment is about Nikon’s forthcoming full-frame mirrorless camera, the company has just released an interesting little video that reveals some of the stringent tests its full-frame D850 DSLR went through. The video also shows Nikon also conducting drop, impact and vibration tests. Nikon’s designers reveal that despite the D850 having an official operating temperature of 0 to 40C (32 to 104F), the camera has actually been engineered to withstand even more extreme conditio

Android apps that make careless use of external storage (such as SD cards) could leave your phone vulnerable to hackers. External storage, like SD cards, is different. Researchers from Check Point Security discovered that apps that use external storage without proper security precautions leave devices vulnerable to ‘Man-in-the-Disk’ attacks. Neither of these apps validated the integrity of data from external storage, and the researchers were able to exploit that vulnerability to make them crash.

It’s been whispered for a while that the Samsung Galaxy S10 might have a triple-lens camera, but now we know the possible specs of it. A third, more basic model of the Samsung Galaxy S10 is also thought to be in the works and this one is said to only have two rear cameras. The sources don’t say what two lenses, but we’d guess it will lack the super-wide one mentioned above. From flagships downIt’s not just flagships from Samsung that might be getting three rear cameras though, as the sources als
