Persona 5 Tactica is a solid tactics game that tells a fantastic Persona story, even if it does get off to a rocky start. While it strays drastically from the gameplay stylings of the JRPG that it's a sequel to, Persona 5 Tactica offers a lot for fans of the Phantom Thieves to love.

Image: Cath Virginia / The Verge, Getty Images Google changed the rules of its publisher ad product in a way it knew online websites selling ad space would protest in order to gain back more control in the ad tech market, the Department of Justice alleged on the trial’s fourth day in its antitrust case against the company. Through the testimony of a former Google executive, internal company emails, and a recording of a contentious 2019 meeting with Google’s publisher customers, the DOJ painted a picture of a company that ignored its customers’ preferences to strengthen its own business position, knowing they had few real alternatives. Google’s attorneys countered that executives listened to customer feedback and made some adjustments, even though it kept the core of the change in... Continue reading…

Image: Cath Virginia / The Verge; Getty Images The Biden administration is addressing the “de minimis” exemption that it says some Chinese e-commerce companies “abuse” to ship products under $800 to US customers without tariffs. New rules proposed on Friday subject certain shipments from China to closer inspection and tariffs — a move that will affect products sold by ultralow-cost retailers like Shein and Temu.

Apple’s higher-end iPhones feature a titanium finish and a new “desert” option. (That just means dark gold.) | Screenshot: Apple Apple’s new iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max are already up for preorder ahead of their debut on September 20th. It’ll be a few more weeks before the Apple Intelligence AI features arrive, though, as Apple is serving them up in beta as part of iOS 18.1 in October. But without those hyped-up software features in tow just yet, what’s there to be excited about on day one? Well, to make sense of all four models, we’ve put together a little side-by-side comparison outlining some of the key differences between them (if you’re so inclined to make an iPhone 16 your own). Apple Intelligence will (eventually) be available for all four of the new phones, and each comes equipped with Apple’s latest processors and the new Camera Control... Continue reading…

Image: Team Asobi / Sony Astro Bot is a game I cannot help but to evangelize, raving about its cute characters, its bright and varied level design, and its short but dense 8–10 hour runtime. But perhaps the biggest element contributing to the game’s joyousness is its sound design, which makes Astro Bot something that engages and delights more than just your mind but your body as well. Astro Bot had me hooked before the game even started. I left my PS5 running on the game’s preload screen and was simultaneously soothed by calming bell tones and thrilled because the song conveyed a sense of imminent wonder. It sounded like something that would play in the opening sequence of a children’s movie, letting you know that an adventure was on the way. Music has a... Continue reading…
