20 years since it was first released, Half-Life 2 remains one of the best single-player FPS games in history. Even as someone who’s comparatively skeptical when it comes to Valve’s work, I can’t deny sections like Route Kanal and, of course, Ravenholm. But there’s one part of HL2 that I think is genuinely weak, and exposes, in a very contained space, most of the shooter’s flaws. Nova Prospekt is samey and overlong, and relies far too much on HL2’s often unexciting weapons and gunplay. But thanks to Half-Life 2 RTX, which has just gotten a new trailer, even this dour part of Gordon Freeman’s adventure looks suddenly way better.

The Sims rival InZOI is giving you complete control.

If you know his work - the Fable series, god game tentpoles like Populous and Black and White, Dungeon Keeper, and the superb Theme Park and Theme Hospital - then you almost certainly know of Peter Molyneux. And if you know Peter Molyneux, you also know that he has a reputation. Whether you believe it’s earned or otherwise, over his extensive career, Molyneux has become regarded as an overpromiser, someone who might - before release - say that a game contains features that, for whatever reason, are not present in the final work. Speaking to PCGamesN, as Molyneux and his studio 22cans reveal new strategy game Masters of Albion, the legendary designer says he is sorry for “pissing people off.” Continue reading Fable’s Peter Molyneux says sorry for all the times he’s overpromised MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Best strategy games, Best city-building games, Best building games

The iPhone 16 will deliver a big design change to the Pro models. They're going to feature larger displays in slightly larger bodies. Apple wants to give the smaller Pro the same telephoto zoom camera as the Pro Max. Therefore, the iPhone 16 Pro has to feature a slightly larger body to accommodate the tetraprism camera without impacting the battery size. With the iPhone 16 Pro growing in size, the Pro Max has to get the same treatment. Each device will feature displays that are 0.2 inches larger than before. All the iPhone 16 leaks that we saw recently showed that the new Pros will be that much taller and wider than their predecessors. The key design improvement that allows Apple to increase the screen size of the Pro is the new bezel tech. We now have a leak that shows us how incredibly thin the iPhone 16 Pro Max bezels are, and I have to say that we've probably reached peak smartphone bezel design. We can't possibly go smaller, can we? Continue reading... The post This iPhone 16 Pro Max leak tells us we’ve reached peak bezel appeared first on BGR.
