With the ROG Xbox Ally set to launch in October and hands-on reports going live, Microsoft is opening up about how it'll feel to use the handheld on a moment-to-moment basis. And, well, judging by the latest info drop concerning the way it deals with compatibility and performance, it seems like the ROG Xbox Ally is less a handheld Xbox and more an Xbox Steam Deck.Because it sure does borrow...

My recent hands-on time with the ROG Xbox Ally, Asus and Microsoft's joint handheld gaming PC, had me impressed. So it might not be all bad news that Asus is considering this handheld to be the ROG Ally 2 that many have been asking and waiting for. Though given we don't know pricing, yet, I can't say for sure.Earlier, I spoke with Whitson Gordon, Senior Manager of Content Marketing at...

The Rogue Prince of Persia launched into early access in May 2024 and, by all reports, was pretty good even in its not-finished state. As the name suggests, it wraps the Prince's balletic action in a roguelite cloth, with plenty of bloodletting combat and illogical platforming gauntlets to tackle.

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is bringing back the 50v50 skirmishes of the original with new maps, weapons, and most importantly, vehicles of the era.By vehicles of the era, I'm of course talking about helicopters. Aerial units are new to Hell Let...

In a new trailer at the Gamescom edition of the Future Games Show, Heart Machine simultaneously revealed and launched the latest early access update to Hyper Light Breaker, which includes new systems, a playable character, a fresh boss, and floating islands in the open world. I got a chance to see the new additions in a hands-off gameplay presentation last week, and here are the topline changes:A new ramen vendor...

We got some big news on Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 yesterday: After years of waiting through a very troubled development, the game is finally set to release on October 21. But even with that long-awaited day finally in sight, Bloodlines 2 just can't avoid stepping on rakes: Eager Bloodlines fans were also informed that if they want to play as Lasombra or Toreador, they're going to have to...

I wasn't sure what I was expecting when queueing up to get my greasy mitts on the upcoming Asus-Microsoft handheld collab, the ROG Xbox Ally. But it certainly wasn't the sheer amount of comfort I ended up feeling when I held it. Asus had it on show at Gamescom earlier, and so I took a gander and was pleasantly surprised.My previous thoughts on the handheld, back when images were leaked...
