Getting started is as simple as plug and play, but you’ll need software to deep dive into any settings. I’m not a huge fan of the Motiv Mix software recommended on the box. Before I could download it, Shure required my full name, city and state, postal code, and email address for updates regarding the […]
At CES 2025, Intel let journalists into its private “Innovation Showcase,” where we saw things like prototype next-gen laptops and giant stereo 3D handheld gaming PCs. While I was there, I also spotted a heavy metal handheld on a table that didn’t seem fully… attached to its screen. When I lifted the screen, it came […]
Almost exactly a year ago, we were publicly yearning for the day when more portable gaming PC makers could ditch Windows in favor of SteamOS (without having to resort to touchy unofficial workarounds). Now, that day has finally come, with Lenovo announcing the upcoming Legion Go S as the first non-Valve handheld to come with […]
The Legion Go S is a strong Stream Deck alternative Lenovo The Steam Deck has been the best handheld gaming PC for the past couple of years, but it’s facing strong competition in 2025. Not least from companies using Valve’s own SteamOS on their own hardware for the first time. Here at CES 2025 in […]

Just a few days after LG announced its CES 2025 lineup of monitors, Samsung is doing the same. The company just introduced several new models, and perhaps the most impressive among them is the Odyssey OLED G81SF. It’s a 27-inch 4K monitor with a maximum refresh rate of 240Hz, 0.03ms response time, a glare-free display, […]
LG isn’t waiting until CES begins to reveal its new collection of gaming monitors. The 2025 lineup is led by the UltraGear OLED Bendable Gaming Monitor, which LG claims is the “world’s first 5K2K-resolution bendable OLED display.” That strikes me as extremely specific, but hey, it’s always worth bragging when you’re first, I suppose. The […]
However, while Sony’s own specifications for accessing the feature cite a 5-Mbps minimum connection speed to establish a cloud session, 7 Mbps to stream a game at 720p resolution, and 13 Mbps to stream at 1080p full HD—the max resolution of the Portal’s screen—these numbers seem to greatly underestimate what’s actually required to play anything […]
There’s a tendency for VR games to be seen as gimmicks—forgettable spin-offs of better-known franchises. Indeed, the last attempt at Batman Arkham VR was exactly that—little more than a vaguely interactive movie. That’s not the case here though. Arkham Shadow is an ambitious, full-length outing (expect 10 to 15 hours playtime) with a satisfyingly layered […]
“The future of gaming handhelds is coming to CES ‘25 and you have a front row seat!” the email in my inbox exclaims.
