So it’s probably not surprising to learn that researchers have found a correlation between people who perform well at MOBAs like League of Legends and Dota 2, and people who perform well in intelligence tests. Multiple factorsThen, in a second study, they analysed data from two MOBA games: League of Legends and Dota 2, as well as two first person shooters: Destiny and Battlefield 3. Here, they found that in groups of thousands of players, performance in MOBAs and IQ tests behave in similar ways

Earlier this year, TechRadar and a select group of other European media outlets were invited to take a look around Sony’s Chonburi camera and lens production plant in Thailand. Located about a 90-minute drive from central Bangkok, the plant is now Sony’s main production line for its Alpha cameras, including both the flagship Alpha A9 and forthcoming Alpha A7R III. Quality controlIn 2013 the plant started manufacturing Sony’s first forays into the full-frame camera market, the Alpha A7R and A7, w

So, whether you’re looking for a fun instant camera to bring out at parties, or wanting to get a bit more creative with your photography, then you’ll want one of these cracking cameras below. It’s because it uses instax wide film packs rather than the regular instax mini. The instax wide format is much larger than a digital sensor, so this equates to a moderate wide-angle lens. Instax MiniThe most common instant film format, producing pictures measuring just 62 x 46mm. Instax WideTwice the size

Yes, Skyrim has come to the Nintendo Switch and though it feels strange to find ourselves humming the Dovahkiin theme at random intervals once again, we’re pretty happy about it. While it works well across all of the Switch’s modes, it’s in handheld mode that Skyrim really shines. It’s not hard to figure out why; playing Skyrim on a handheld console makes what could be a very well-worn gaming experience feel fresh and new again. However, the frame rate is admirably consistent and when you’re pla

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) is selling up a storm, flogging 20 million early access copies so far this year – yes, it hasn’t even been officially released yet – and Nvidia has some exclusive screenshots of the incoming new desert map, as well as a load of free copies of the game to give away. Feast your eyes on the grabs above and below, which show that the second map is quite different to the island of Erangel. It features a war-torn city with plenty of tall buildings and its own shopp

The humble Raspberry Pi has been put to many uses by hobbyists over the years since it was launched, but the latest use for the board is certainly very novel: bundling loads of the things together to make a cheap supercomputer (of sorts). As Anandtech reports, the High Performance Computing (HPC) division over at the Los Alamos National Laboratory has lumped 750 Raspberry Pi boards together, in a system designed (and built) by BitScope that consists of five rack-mounted Pi Cluster Modules, each

Eventually, a little bit after the initial release, I upgraded my Sims experience. Ghosts of console games pastThere have been console releases of The Sims over the years but they never matched up. So, is the console version of The Sims 4 everything I wanted it to be? Mod madnessIt has, however, been promised that far more of these expansions will come to the console version in time as DLC. Yes, it has a learning curve for those accustomed to the PC experience but it’s nice to have the ability t

Intel specs Cores: 16Threads: 32Base clock: 2.80GHzBoost clock: 4.20GHzL3 cache: 22MBTDP: 165WNot to be outdone in the high core count stake, Intel then announced its line of Core i9 Skylake X processors, which included the 18-core Intel Core i9-7980XE and the 16-core Core i9-7960X. However, the AMD Threadripper 1950X wins out with a higher base clock than the Intel Core i9-7960X and more CPU memory cache. In this test the AMD Threadripper 1950X machine achieved a mighty score of 19,587, a big i

Update: One year after the release of Pokemon Sun and Moon, the sequel titles are coming to the Nintendo 3DS this week. A whole new worldThe most immediately noticeable change in Pokémon Sun and Moon is the game world. Each island has a Trial Captain who determines what that island’s trial will be, and the challenge isn’t always limited to a Pokémon battle. In previous Pokémon games some battle moves such as Surf and Fly could also be used to travel across the map. Pokémon Moon was reviewed on 3

A number of high-profile, hugely popular Kodi add-ons have been forced to shutdown due to legal threats against a developer in the Kodi community. This includes the development of the URLresolver and Metahandler software which many third-party apps rely on.

If you are the proud owner of a Windows Mixed Reality headset, do we have some good news for you. Valve has announced that you can now use the virtual reality headsets to play VR games in Steam. The reason that it’s a preview rather than a full launch is that there are still bugs that need working out and Microsoft is wanting to involve the Steam Community in identifying the issues before a full launch:“Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR is currently targeted at consumers who want to be first to

The US advertisement shows a number of reductions across Lenovo’s Yoga models, including the company’s flagship 2-in-1. One Yoga 910 spec that normally retails at $1,270 (around £965) will be slashed by a hefty $470 (£355) on Black Friday, with a promotional price of $800 (£605). Another Yoga 910 spec also gets knocked down from $1,350 (£1,025) to $1,000 (£760), which is still an impressive saving of $350 (£265). As mentioned, these discounts are for the US, but hopefully we’ll see them – or at

According to some notes posted on the Wololo homebrew community, after months of tinkering, an update to the Pegaswitch toolkit has made it possible for the Switch to support homebrew applications on firmware 3.0.0. First of all, the Nintendo Switch is currently on the 4.0.1 version of its firmware so anyone with auto-updates enabled is long past the necessary 3.0.0 niche. A second issue is that because the breakthrough is so recent, there aren’t actually any homebrew apps or games available yet

Image credit: AmazonRemember when Apple reportedly tried to get a TV service off the ground but couldn’t get the networks to play nice? And for now, at least, it’s discarding plans for a “skinny bundle” of top TV channels, according to Reuters . For now, Amazon will apparently focus on its growing Amazon Channels service that already offers 140 channels, but the service still has relatively few big-name options. Much like Apple, Amazon “is willing to wait,” according to sources. They further cla

Well, as of this Friday you’ll get a free subscription to Hulu’s “Limited Commercials” package if you sign up for its Unlimited Freedom data plan. Hulu’s plan normally costs $7.99 per month. The actual Unlimited Freedom plan costs $60 per month for one line,

The best Android smartphones in 2017 are way better than they were a year ago, with more advanced cameras, faster processors and fresh apps. But there are also plenty of Google-powered phones with Android 7.0 Nougat and Android Oreo that deserve extra focus. To give a few examples of where the phone stands out, we’d be remiss not to start with its camera. Matt Swider’s review summed it up best:”The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is the best big phone you can buy. However, some odd choices to go with lowe

To that end, just in time for the holiday rush, the company has announced the upcoming PlayStation VR Doom VFR bundle. This isn’t the same game as the fully fledged Doom that made such a big splash last year. “Doom VFR is a different Doom than what we’re used to, but it’s still a deadly VR experience and it has the potential to could be one of this year’s PlayStation VR highlights,” TechRadar reviewer Brendan Griffiths said. You’ll also have to wait a few more days to pick up the Doom bundle, as
