It might be late to the party, but NZXT’s trio of new motherboards bring a refreshing new look to both Intel and AMD platforms that’s sure to appeal to those wanting to color-match their motherboard to the rest of their hardware. The N7 Z890 looks a lot like the N9 Z890, which is NZXT’s flagship Intel motherboard for Core Ultra 200 processors, but if the thought of hitting your wallet...
Like a number of manufacturers, NZXT opted to put its weight behind Intel with last year’s new processor and chipset launches. Even though it’s very late to the party and only just launching a trio of new motherboards co-designed with ASRock, it still went with two LGA1851 motherboards and just a single AM5 board, in the form of the N9 X870E that we’re looking at today.That might seem illogical given...
It’s rare to see a motherboard with a brand name other than the usual four of ASRock, Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI; and also one that differs in design enough to stand out from the crowd too.

After 20 hours with The Alters, I just wanted to fast forward to the end. Throughout most of The Alters, the resource management gameplay bounced off the narrative well — there was always some obstacle to be overcome, a lava river or gravity distortion, and solutions were found through exploration, research, and resource gathering in a satisfying (though stressful) gameplay loop. Act 3 is similar in that you have to...

Microsoft made large-scale layoffs across its gaming division this week, as part of wider cuts that have seen about 9,000 employees of the tech giant let go. It’s the fourth round of layoffs to hit Microsoft’s gaming operation since the start of last year, and the biggest since the company shuttered four Bethesda studios, including Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks, in May 2024. This time, the story has centered on...
