Some adjustment necessary. With all the hype surrounding fancy OLED gaming monitors this year, it can be easy to forget just how much the affordable gaming monitor market has also expanded. Gigabyte has been one of the key players in both spaces, offering its premium Aorus monitors on the higher-end of the pricing and feature spectrum, and its self-branded monitors with lower prices and competitive features. The Gigabyte GS27Q falls into the latter camp, but while it’s able to offer a good picture and gaming experience, its terrible stand, poor picture quality out of the box, and similarity to other, better Gigabyte monitors makes us wonder why it even exists.

Gunnar Eudy says he battled cancer for “several years.” Professional wrestler Sidney Raymond Eudy a.k.a. Sid Vicious has passed away at 63 following a battle with cancer. Sid Vicious’ son, Gunnar Eudy, shared the news in a post on Facebook today. He says his father battled cancer for “several years.” “He was a man of strength, kindness, and love, and his presence will be greatly missed,” Gunnar Eudy said. “We appreciate your thoughts and prayers as we grieve this loss.

True love never dies – but this remake should’ve. Few box-office sensations are as intrinsically of their own moment as The Crow, the baroque lullaby of beyond-the-grave retribution that swooped into theaters on a tailwind of tragedy in the summer of 1994. Brandon Lee, the film’s 28-year-old star (and the son of martial-arts legend Bruce Lee), was killed on set in a freak accident involving a prop gun. The dark truth is that his death lent the whole movie a chill of morbid, art-imitating-life gravitas.

Your prime has yet to come. The standard Xbox controller and DualSense are great controllers in their own right, and iterations over generations have led to them being fairly advanced gamepads. But when it comes to choosing the best controllers, there’s never really a one-size-fits-all solution, whether that be because of ergonomics, button feel, or additional features. And for competitive-minded players, brands like Scuf and Razer offer advantages with third-party controllers by tuning buttons, sticks, and triggers in specific ways or adding extras like programmable back paddles.

Red dead rebellion. As far as Star Wars video games go, we’ve taken countless turns at twirling lightsabers and unleashing flashy Force powers, but Star Wars Outlaws swaggers into the cantina, slinks down into a booth with its holster clip unbuttoned, and argues that those are no match for a good blaster at your side. This open-world – or rather, open-worlds – action game features a level of gunbattles and broken promises befitting the legend that is Chewbacca’s best mate.

An action remake that looks bad and feels worse. Hollywood studios have long circled a remake of The Killer, John Woo’s 1989 action classic pitting a principled hitman against a disillusioned detective. And after 30 year of fits and starts – with directors including Walter Hill and John J. Lee attached, and stars like Richard Gere and Denzel Washington in mind – it turns out the only filmmaker who could get the job done was Woo himself.

Blink Twice opens in theaters August 23 “Are you having a good time?” So asks the tagline for Zoë Kravitz’s directorial debut, Blink Twice. If the “you” in question is the director, then the answer is yes: This was clearly a blast for Kravitz, who injects the island mystery/morality play centered on gig-economy worker Frida (Naomi Ackie) and tech billionaire Slater King (Channing Tatum) with lush visuals and complex sound design.

Some people say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. I know what they mean, because every year, I play Madden. If football is a game of inches, then Madden typically manages to perfectly recapture that feeling in the minutiae of its year-to-year iterations. Every August, fans sit around and obsessively try to figure out what has changed, if the under-the-hood adjustments actually matter, if the new systems do what EA says they do, and if things truly feel any better.

I’ve never been so utterly blown away, yet simultaneously so unbelievably frustrated by a game as I have been with Black Myth: Wukong. This is, undoubtedly, one of the most ambitious and impressive action games I’ve played. It’s stunningly gorgeous; its combat is fantastic; it’s incredibly challenging, but always satisfying to overcome; and the setting is refreshingly unique and steeped in rich Chinese culture, just to sing a few of its praises.
