The clubber’s racer, WipEout has always been a breathtaking mix of mad sci-fi visuals and banging beats. It’s back with a vengeance on the PS4, with WipEout Omega Collection combining the fast-paced action of the earlier entries in the series with the 4K bells and whistles that it’s brand of futuristic racing has always deserved.

BAE Systems is alleged to have sold sophisticated decryption and cyber-surveillance tools to nations across the Middle East, including repressive regimes, according to a new investigation undertaken by BBC Arabic and a Danish newspaper. The in-depth investigation, which ran for a year, involved speaking with insiders from BAE and the British government as well as former intelligence operatives, and found that the tools being sold included decryption software and systems designed to facilitate ma

Leaving the gears and motors of its BB-8 and Cars 3 bots to one side, it’s going all-in on voice for its new Spider-Man toy. A quipping wallcrawlerIt’s the circuitry and smart tech under the plastic though that sets the Sphero Spider-Man apart from other toy takes on the wallcrawler. The toy line as a whole seems ripe for expansion – imagine an Iron Man Sphero that could have a chat with this Spider-Man? Chunky and with a rubberised grip feel to his suit, the Sphero Spider-Man has a good amount

Have you played Minecraft? Of course you’ve played Minecraft – it’s the videogame equivalent of asking if you’ve ever played Tic-Tac-Toe or hopscotch. Which makes Microsoft’s E3 Minecraft announcement of a new 4K-optimised ‘Super Duper Graphics Pack’ so groan-worthy. Edge highlighting!” boasts the Minecraft blog, all coming as a free update to the game in the Fall of this year. Minecraft is a long play for Microsoft, with arms reaching out to education and design sectors as well as gamers.

Microsoft has announced that it’s now selling the Surface Laptop and new Surface Pro in the US, UK and Australia, and indeed in 25 territories around the world – plus the Surface Studio is now out in the UK, too. Right now, you can only get a different colored Surface Laptop over in the States, where buyers have a choice of Burgundy, Cobalt Blue, and Graphite Gold. Pro plusMoving on to the refreshed Surface Pro, that’s now on sale in the US starting at $799, with that base configuration sporting

Images of an unfinished Meizu Pro 7 spotted by anzhuo.cn show a weird rectangular cut-out on the back which is believed to be a small e-ink display. Even a rear-facing secondary screen isn’t a totally new idea, with the oddball Yotaphone and Yotaphone 2 getting there first. The first of those even used e-ink too, but turned the entire back into a screen, rather than just a small part of it. It looks to be slightly bigger than the ticker-like secondary screens we’ve seen on some handsets, so it c

Update: A new report suggests the LG V30 will launch a month earlier than we expected in August this year. Gearing up for the LG V30, the company will likely follow the same path it has taken before with the LG V10 and LG V20. As these phones have gained a positive reputation, LG would be turning a blind eye if it did the same with the LG V30. Here’s everything we know about the LG V30 and following that, we’ve listed out exactly how we hope this upcoming release shapes up. LG didn’t release the

Noise cancelling usually means big cans, though, but not so with the B&O Beoplay E4. Bang & Olufsen’s latest earphones have been given some premium noise-cancelling technology that was last seen in the company’s B&O Beoplay H9 over-the-ear luxury range. Using this tech means the Beoplay E4s can cut out 15dB of low frequency sound – which is Barry White levels of rumble. As there is noise-cancelling tech inside, a battery is needed. The Beoplay E4 are out now in black and will cost £249 (around $

One day you may be able to show your doctor your iPhone instead of explaining how you’re feeling… at least that’s what a team at Apple would like you to do. According to a report from CNBC, Apple has a secret team working within Apple’s health unit that is bringing together developers, hospitals and other medical professionals to bring clinical data into the iPhone. Apple’s aim is to stop the fragmentation of health data across multiple services and instead put everything into one place. Apple

The ban on roaming charges only affects the 28 countries in the EU, so if you’re visiting Switzerland, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Andorra and many more, they may still have roaming charges in place. Three has offered free roaming around the EU for a few years now, while Vodafone and EE have also offered it recently. EE is including 48 locations from around Europe in its free roaming bands too and you can find the full list of countries covered here. No – instead you’ll be using your u

Not all iPad Pro models are made equal. The original iPad Pro had 4GB of RAM while the smaller iPad Pro 9.7 only had 2GB, but a teardown of the new iPad Pro 10.5 shows that no specs have been spared this time around. There’s 4GB of RAM for a start, which is the most you’ll find in any iPad, even seemingly matching the iPad Pro 2 12.9 if a recent GeekBench listing is to be believed. Bigger battery for the same lifeThe teardown also reveals information on the iPad Pro 10.5’s battery, which is 30.8

Come September, iPhone 8 wireless charging could change the way you juice up your smartphone every night – a first for an Apple handset. Wireless charging has been an iPhone 8 rumor for several months, in tow with Apple’s switch to a glass back to enable electricity to easily pass through. iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus, too? What’s interesting is that this new quote backs up recent iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus rumors that hinted at wireless charging for those models, too. We have three months bef

There were fewer than dozen notable iPhone, iPad and Android games at E3 2017, and even those are drowned out by big console and PC gaming news. While everyone may have paid attention to Xbox One X announcement and the never-ending stream of PS4 trailers at E3, mobile games are just as important. Core and mainstream gamers alike are bound to play these mobile games – it’s a $40 billion industry a year, according to analysts at SuperData Research. Let’s look ahead at some of the gaming coming to

As I sat down in my seat to start my Call of Duty WWII multiplayer demo at E3, I looked at everyone around me nervously. I haven’t played a Call of Duty game in a few years and I hadn’t played Call of Duty WWII before today at all, yet it didn’t feel unfamiliar to me. But I worry that the game’s need to ultimately still be a Call of Duty game might completely undermine their noble intentions. In Call of Duty WWII, squad abilities have replaced mechanics such as auto-regeneration. I can see and u

E3 2017 is coming to a close tomorrow. The show, which opened on Tuesday, June 13, will close its doors to the public on Thursday, June 15 at 5 pm PT. Before it does, however, we wanted to piece together a virtual tour of the show floor for those that wanted to be here, but couldn’t make it. E3 2018 will take place in June of next year – which should give you enough time to book your flights and submit that time off request. Until then, here’s a quick look at the booths, games and characters of

As DeepMind’s AlphaGo routinely defeats humanity’s best in one of the world’s oldest strategy games, artificial intelligence is now turning its attention to more modern fare: video games. Microsoft-owned AI Maluuba has just earned the highest possible score in the Atari 2600 port of the arcade classic, Ms. Pac-Man. By maxing out its score at the highest possible 999,990 points, the AI has accomplished a gaming feat that won’t likely be met by humans for a while, if ever. As it plays, these agent

Backing up and syncing files can feel like a daunting though necessary task at times, and to help ease the burden Google Drive will soon roll out a new app that stores any file and photo on your computer. The app lets users back up files and photos that aren’t already in Drive. When Google does its scan, files and photos are backed up in Drive, and they’re accessible on any device that’s also synced to the service. This means any settings you have saved with Google Drive for Mac/PC as well as th

In case you thought The Walking Dead couldn’t get more harrowing, the zombie phenomenon is headed to a more in-your-face platform: virtual reality. Skybound Entertainment, the company helmed by The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman, announced a partnership deal with Skydance Interactive during E3 2017 to create original VR games set in Kirkman’s grisly, zombie-infested world. The partnership is expected to work over multiple years to produce “a number” of The Walking Dead VR titles, but few ot

Actually, that distinction belongs to Metroid Prime 4, but nevertheless, it’s a nifty app targeted specifically at Xbox One (including Xbox One S and Xbox One X) and Windows 10 users who want to up their game with 360-degree surround sound on the cheap. You’ll need Atmos-enabled hardware to get the absolute most out of the audio track-packed sound. But if you’re not in a position to make that investment, Dolby Access basically has your name on it. It can inject Dolby Atmos spatial sound into you
