Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed: Origins is the grand return to form we’d been hoping for and the first essential title in the series since Black Flag. Critical acclaim and strong sales are the worst enemies of discounts though, so cheap offers have been slim. We have some excellent news though if you have an Xbox One or Xbox One X as CDKeys has just come up with the lowest price yet in the UK, US and Australia with this digital edition. Better yet (sort of), you also get a free download code for Ass

For around three years now Microsoft has said that official keyboard and mouse support is coming to Xbox One. Microsoft’s official stance is that for reasons of developer freedom, player choice, and accessibility, it won’t be putting a stop to keyboard and mouse use on Xbox One, even though it could. If you’re not troubled by wires and you’re happy to sit close to your console, you can actually plug a wired keyboard into the USB port on your Xbox console. Essentially it’s a simple USB device tha

While it’s still early days for Snapdragon-based Windows laptops and tablets, one can’t help but wonder what effect these devices will have on the laptop scene at la

According to the Norwegian Consumer Council, several digital video game platforms have inadequate refunds systems, but Nintendo’s refund policy for pre-ordered games is outrightly breaking European law. Not consumer friendlyThe Norwegian Consumer Council takes issue with this policy, particularly when it comes to pre-orders, because it flouts the right of withdrawal in the European Consumer Rights Directive. And, because the supply of goods has not yet begun, pre-ordered games certainly don’t qu

To collect these League Tokens, spectators must first link their Battle.net account with their Twitch, MLG.com, or Overwatchleague.com account. For 100 League Tokens, you can buy the in-game skin of your favorite team. Possible rewards include special hero and team emotes, plus Overwatch League skins. All of this is evidently part of the push to get more people watching matches live, although there’s already a good number of spectators. As we saw last month, over 10 million fans watched matches

5G networks are the next generation of mobile internet connectivity, offering faster speeds and more reliable connections on smartphones and other devices than ever before. When will 5G launch? It’s still not exactly known how much faster 5G will be than 4G, as much of the technology is still under development. Most estimates expect the average speed of 5G networks to reach 10Gb/s, and some even think transfer rates could reach a whopping 800Gb/s. Will I be able to get 5G networks on my phone?

In truth, AI will only be as benevolent or evil as human intentions make it. Released Wednesday and first covered by CNBC , this report stresses the “dual-use” nature of AI: automated programs built with the best of intentions can be twisted into harmful technology. “[AI] surveillance tools can be used to catch terrorists or oppress ordinary citizens,” was one example given by the report, or commercial drones for grocery delivery being weaponized. Policymakers in world governments, they say, sho

The original Pentax K-1 impressed us when it was launched in 2016 with its powerful full-frame 36MP sensor, rugged build quality and numerous technological advances. In fact, the K-1 Mark II can shoot up to ISO819,200, making it a strong contender for low-light photography where high shutter speeds are mandatory. On top of this, the Pixel Shift Resolution System has been given a thorough overhaul to improve its abilities to reduce shake and produce sharper shots. Image 1 of 3 Image 2 of 3 Image

The iPhone X’s notch turned out to be the “next big thing” in phone design, but the next (next) big thing might not even be noticeable to the naked eye. ARM has developed new iSIM technology that might eventually see the trusty, but ever cumbersome SIM card going away for good. Conceptually, iSIM isn’t too different than the eSIM, though its dimensions are stark by comparison. Phones, wearables and tablets come to mind first, which would benefit greatly from iSIM technology from a hardware persp

New Samsung Galaxy S9 rumors point to a refined smartphone that’s out to right the few, but noticeable, wrongs of the Samsung Galaxy S8, our current best phone title holder. Galaxy S9 to fix Samsung’s maligned fingerprint sensorWhat was wrong with the Galaxy S8: The fingerprint sensor on back of the Galaxy S8, S8 Plus and Note 8 was awkwardly offset from the center, and right next to the camera.

Mixer, Microsoft’s game streaming service, is giving streamers the option to get a cut of games which are sold to their viewers, in a system similar to the one Twitch operates. However, Microsoft’s take has a much wider scope in a bid to tempt users away from its big-name streaming rival. Mixer Direct Purchase, which will begin to roll out shortly, lets a viewer purchase a game or piece of DLC right on the streamer’s channel page directly within Mixer. The streamer gets a slice of the revenue, w

While the Nokia smartphone brand is doing well under the guiding hand of HMD Global, it seems the Nokia health business – which includes wearables like the Nokia Steel and Nokia Steel HR – is struggling, to the point where Nokia might even shut it down. That’s the sense a leaked memo written by Nokia’s chief strategy officer Kathrin Buvac, and obtained by The Verge, seems to give anyway. While it doesn’t outright say the company will stop making wearables and other health devices, it does say “o

To be completely honest I actually don’t remember where I was when the console was announced on February 20 2013. What I do remember was the outrage that the console itself wasn’t actually shown across the two hour presentation. What followed was almost half a year of hype and some pretty iconic jabs between Sony and Microsoft (remember that used games announcement at E3? They went over this history of the consoles and the games they offered and, more than ever, the future seemed exciting for Pl
