Huge games such as God of War Ragnarok and Overdose - which is allegedly Hideo Kojima's new horror game - could all get a showing at Summer Game Fest.God of War Ragnarok is one of the biggest games of the year, but fans looking forward to Kratos…

I probably get buzzed approximately 12 to 20 times a day during the work week — a paltry number compared to the average U.S. smartphone user’s 322 per week — but it’s the weekend buzz that seems to affect me a lot less than those highly anticipated mid-week buzz sessions I’ve come to expect. Like a dog from one of those strange black and white 1950s behavioral psych experiments, I got more worked up from the expectation of the buzz than the actual buzz itself. It became evident, however, that I needed to make a…

The COVID-19 pandemic has generated mind-numbing statistics over the past two years: half a billion cases, 6 million deaths, 1 million in the US alone. But another, less-publicized global scourge preceded it and is likely to outlast it: traffic deaths and injuries.  Around 1.35 million people die each year on the world's roads, and another 20 million to 50 million are seriously injured. Half of these deaths and many of the injuries involve pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists – the most vulnerable users of roads and…

Noise can be deafening and in India, where there are no silent zones, ambient noise can annoy you. Before starting driving the car, most of us think that the noise from the engine is the only one which intrudes on the cabin. However, the more you drive your car, the more you start to know about various types of noises produced by several factors. While it might seem that controlling these noises are out of your hands, it is possible to contain them and make your vehicle’s cabin a calmer place to be seated inside. Let’s…

Here is a really heartfelt, absorbing new film telling the true story of June and Jennifer Gibbons: the “silent twins”, young women of colour who grew up in Haverfordwest in Wales communicating with no one but each other. They were effectively abandoned by the school and care systems but wrote reams of intensely imaginative poems and stories, with June even self-publishing a novel. It gained them a reputation as authentic outsider artists when, in 1981, the twins were committed to Broadmoor hospital for arson and theft.…

Developer Bloober Team says it can’t comment on the ongoing rumours that it’s working on a new Silent Hill game, instead saying the studio’s future projects will be revealed soon.

Last week, leaked concept art revived fans’ hopes that a new Silent Hill game was in the works. Now, a VGC report is claiming that Konami is working on several entries in the survival horror series. On May 12th, Twitter user AestheticGamer1 shared four images that were allegedly from a new entry in the Silent Hill series. Shortly after he tweeted the images, they were removed for copyright reasons, adding fuel to the speculation that they were indeed what he claimed them to be. (1/2) Silent Hill leak. There's a lot…

With two successful flight tests in the bag, and just under US$2 million in seed funding, Florida company Undefined Technologies has unveiled the next generation of its "silent" commercial drone, which uses ionic propulsion instead of propellers. The new design is certainly a step up visually from previous efforts, but at the end of the day, an ionic propulsion system is going to look like an ionic propulsion system; by necessity it'll feature a large grid of electrodes with at least two layers, such that the top and…
