Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered review – a great remaster of Lara Croft’s lost arc | Games

If modern games are sports cars – flashy, fast, expensive and noisy – the original Tomb Raider is a shopping trolley: clunky, slow and not much to look at. Cumbersome to operate, especially if you’re used to automatic gears and sat nav. Quiet, apart from the odd squeaky wheel. Absolutely brilliant at doing what it was designed to do.

The AI system in question is Gemini, the company’s flagship conversational AI platform, which when asked calls out to a version of the Imagen 2 model to…

Is Hip Hop Bringing Back the Lost Art of the WTF Album?

When it comes to truth in advertising, few albums this year are going to top Lil Jon’s just-released Total Meditation.

As those tracks wash over you, the rapper, producer and home-improvement guru offers self-help tips (“anxiety can be a big problem for many people. When you meditate on a regular basis,  the health benefits continue to increase”) and specific suggestions on how to meditate:…

If you ever feel guilty about bingeing The Bear over and over, don’t worry, because clearly it’s something that Kevin Feige does a lot too. And he’s pretty much the biggest producer in Hollywood these days, so clearly you’re doing something right. No, Feige hasn’t spoken publicly about his apparent obsession with the acclaimed Hulu show, but it’s entirely obvious thanks to the amount of people from the series he has hired of late.
