Our quick take Acer Liquid Jade - 3.5 / 5 Slim & light design Decent display Hardware and performance Good camera Software Average battery To recap The Liquid Jade is Acer’s best smartphone to date but while it offers a lovely design, it falls into the average categories elsewhere. It has a great camera on board for its price, along with a big screen and good interface but it’s a slightly sluggish performer that is over £50 more expensive than the king of this category....

The problem with getting your hopes up about anything is that you’re almost guaranteed to be disappointed. But when almost every big new game IP is a lackluster title, even from familiar AAA developers, you have to wonder what exactly is going wrong. Watch Dogs, Destiny, and The Order: 1886 are some of the most hyped new game IPs of the last year. And it’s not that any of them are necessarily bad games—plenty of players love the engaging gameplay of Destiny and the beautiful settings of The Order: 1886—but with mediocre reviews, they’re hardly the iconic new games of the future....

Previous Echos had limitations, but to have a great low price and pleasing sound quality means that the new Echo sweeps those criticisms aside....

Our quick take Alternatives to consider Dongle design removes distractions Single HDMI connection to TV 65 x 65 x 15mm Alexa Remote in box Simple setup Connect, sign-in, watch TV HDR10 support, no Dolby Vision Dolby Atmos support, but no content What is HDR, what TVs and devices support HDR, and what HDR content can I watch? Google Chromecast Ultra review: 4K casting is perfect… yet pointless Parental controls are well handled Reality bites: Do you even need Fire TV in the smart TV era?...

Prime Video kicks off the month with The Terminal List on July 1. Though everything about that name screams “MOVIE” to me for some reason, the Chris Pratt-starring action property is actually a series. Pratt will portray James Reece, a Navy SEAL who returns home after his team is ambushed on a covert mission only to discover that the threat might still persist. Then Prime Video closes out the month with Paper Girls on July 29....

I think we can all agree that 2020 was quite the year. For gaming, it was great–records were breaking left and right as people were spending more time in-game than ever before. But now that 2020 is over and a vaccine is rolling out around the world, people are wondering just what this might mean for 2021. GamesIndustry.biz spoke to several industry analysts to find out, and they all agreed that the pandemic would still play a large role in what we can expect in the current year....

It’s pretty safe to say that the “Bunny Day” event in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a little annoying. Players are being inundated with eggs while trying to go about their normal routines, delaying the catching of certain fish and bugs. It doesn’t help that even balloons are carrying eggs, sometimes wasting precious slingshot durability. Unless you just really dig the ugly furniture line, there has to be something else to these eggs…right?...

Back in June of last year, gaming fans shared a collective sigh of relief when Drew Karpyshyn, the senior scribe for the highly revered Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, revealed his decision come out of retirement to return to BioWare to work as a writer on the developer’s forthcoming title, Anthem. Now, though, it looks as if he’s set to depart from the company yet again in order to pursue outside projects....

Anthem’s initial release was rocky at best, with fundamental issues such as massive loadtimes and little end-game content plaguing the game’s launch. However, as Bioware moves to overhaul Anthem, players who joined in the title’s earliest days will see some of their biggest concerns acknowledged and actively addressed in the updates coming to the game. One of those concerns, raised over Twitter by user @DelaEadmer, is the inclusion of PvP in Anthem, allowing players to test their skills, weapons, and Javelin builds against each other....

Apex Legends is one of the most popular battle royale games on the market despite having slower content drops than other free-to-play titles, and now, players have an idea of why post-launch releases are a bit slower. According to Apex Legends director Chad Grenier, the speed of new additions is due to a refusal to make the team endure crunch time. Crunch time is one of the most negative aspects of the video game industry....

Apple offers several AirPods within its portfolio. The AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) are the most recent, announced in September 2022, and they succeed the orignal AirPods Pro that arrived in 2019. The AirPods (3rd Generation) arrived in October 2021 and they sit below the AirPods Pro 2 in terms of price and features, but above the older - though still available - second generation of AirPods from early 2019. The original AirPods are now completely discontinued....

2D-animation has been a part of television programming for most of its life. The first animation to appear on television was Chad Grothkopf’s Willie the Worm, which aired roughly 10 years after the first-ever television broadcast. Since then, animated TV shows have had their ups and downs, each decade bringing with it not only technological advancements that made newer shows more efficient to produce, but also different trends that animation directors and TV stations pursued....

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot suggests that the Assassin’s Creed franchise may not return to the annual release schedule that it has been on since Assassin’s Creed 2. For almost a decade, gamers have been able to count on a new game in the Assassin’s Creed series to release every year in the fall. This year will be a different story, however, and as it turns out there’s a chance that Assassin’s Creed may never return to the strict annual release schedule it has been on since Assassin’s Creed 2 released in 2009....

Apparently “women don’t sell,” according to Ubisoft’s former Chief Creative Officer Serge Hascoet. The Assassin’s Creed series has had a wealth of strong female characters, all of whom’s roles were either reduced severely or relegated to the background. Work culture at Ubisoft has been described in multiple cases as akin to that of a frat house. As a result of actions from major players at the company, along with the indifference of Ubisoft’s executive board, many women and allies have spoken up and taken legal action against this abhorrent behavior....

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla does not pretentiously pretend to be a perfect reenactment of Viking life in England during the year 873. Every game in the series uses a mix of history and creative license to arrive at a happy medium where the game is both fun to play and exciting to imagine. Players that want to know more about the actual history behind the game are then forced to ask themselves what is real, what is fake, and what has been adjusted to make these events and cultures a playable experience....

While Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla isn’t completely different from a typical entry in the series, it does some things that set it apart from the rest. For instance, the title doesn’t include traditional side quests; instead, it has mysteries. One element that makes these events stand out is that they don’t include objective markers or waypoints for you to follow. The lack of hand-holding these tasks give you is refreshing in a contemporary title....

At last year’s Canadian Videogame Awards, FIFA Soccer 2012 took home game of the year, while Deux Ex: Human Revolution won Best Console Game and Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP won Best Downloadable and Best Game on The Go. With an impressive and growing list of beloved Triple-A and indie games finding their origins in the Great White North, it’s no surprise that for the 2013 Canadian Videogame Awards boasts an even more extraordinary mix of Finalists....
