Blizzard isn't going to let Marvel Rivals have all the fun. In Overwatch 2's next season, everyone is getting swimsuit skins for a summer-themed battle pass.Plenty of other new things are coming when season 18 starts on August 26—a whole new support hero, for example—but I think we all know what the draw will be. Lifeweaver, Reinhardt, Mercy, Junker Queen, Illari, and new hero Wuyang are all getting skins that...

Just as the Asus ROG Ally is taking on a new form in the ROG Xbox Ally, so the MSI Claw 8 is taking on a new form as an, erm, ROG Ally? Nah, kidding, it's not an Ally, but it does look pretty similar to it with those jutting edges, doesn't it? Maybe it's just me.What I can say is I held the new MSI Claw A8, then the...

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.
