In a world where the cost-of-living crisis and console price hikes are omnipresent, the best gaming earbuds can be a cheaper alternative to headsets, particularly if they’re wired. Yet I’ve never quite been a fan, no matter how cheap they are.However, my interest was piqued when the SIVGA M260 HiFi Wired Earbuds launched on May 8, 2026 as they’re not just affordable, but look great too. They include transparent cabling and are only $45 at Amazon, and that’s for the most pricey pair of the two. The buds are available in two models, one that connects via USB-C with an…

Earlier this month, Stop Killing Games, the campaign group seeking to prevent online games being rendered unplayable when publishers shut down their servers, threw their support behind a Californian bill aiming to put a requirement that studios either take action to keep games running after server shutterings or provide full refunds into law. As said bill – dubbed AB 1921 – continues to meander through the lawmaking process, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) have come out in opposition of it, arguing the proposal “doesn’t reflect how games actually work today”.

Want to mimic the boy racers risking it all for a sick wheelie in the road without ending up in the back of a police cruiser? Stick to these Wheelie District codes, kid. This is a Roblox game “where the streets reward skill and the bikelife never stops.” Despite the emphasis on two-wheeled motor vehicles, though, fancy cars are up for grabs, too. Whatever you choose to ride, the aim is simple: drive dangerously, build up your multiplier, and “turn skill into money.” The masters learn how to strike a delicate balance between throttle and timing, but bailing is arguably…

You won’t be able to survive the high-rank runs of Resident Evil: Requiem’s Leon Must Die Forever without the right abilities.In this new DLC mode, Leon can use the Ability Enhancer. For every 100 points he extracts from defeated enemies, he can get a new ability from the Ability Enhancer, and some of those can turn Leon Kennedy into even more of a superhero than he already is.While some abilities come with downsides, they all have unique uses when combined. You can use multiple abilities to buff your close combat power, for example, and turn Leon into a brutal melee…

Over the past year or so, CD Projekt Red has welcomed quite a lot of talent – over 220 new developers, in fact – with a good few of them coming from RPGs like Baldur’s Gate 3 and, of course, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and its predecessor.As work on The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2 presses on, CD Projekt Red is pulling in a good few new devs from other legendary studios. In December, an ex-Baldur’s Gate 3 dev joined the team, while a former Mass Effect lead hopped on board as AI director in February. In between, there have…

Our infamously workshy news editor Edwin – he only posted barely twice the number of articles last week as I did, the skiver – is off doing something that isn’t the Maw this morning. See? This time he didn’t even have the gumption to hurl his own body into its waiting gullet, where through the pain of cracked bones and ruined ponytail, he’d endure the acidslide down into the Maw’s endlessly cavernous belly before hacking his way out with a crude axe fashioned from the beast’s own ribcage. Honestly, I’m going to have to have a word with him, once…

Pearl Abyss is continuing to churn out solid Crimson Desert updates at a staggering rate, and its latest patch is perfect for all the mount collectors out there.

There’s also a new extraction system, which lets you recover some of the materials used to refine gear, and the Laughing Marionette now has a claw machine, so you can get your practice in before hitting your local arcade. Pearl Abyss has been very busy expanding Crimson Desert’s pet…
