For all their excellence, Half-Life and Half-Life 2 share one significant shortcoming: there’s not enough blood. The story is tight, the levels are fantastically designed and built, and the physics-driven set pieces, especially the collapsed railway bridge during Highway 17, are all spectacular. But Valve’s shooters need more nastiness. FEAR, by Monolith, has this in spades. And of course Doom, and its 2016 reboot, and Doom Eternal, bring the bloodshed to almost comical levels. But if you want an FPS that looks, feels, and plays like Half-Life, but with more gleeful brutality, you need Selaco. A throwback boomer shooter with almost spotless Steam reviews, it’s just been totally transformed with a new campaign, fresh combat mechanics, and even some ARPG elements, all for free.

The Lenovo Legion Go could be getting a smaller sibling if new reports are to be believed.

With the global release of Strinova, players from Valorant, CS: GO, Overwatch, and Apex Legends have been queuing the game to get a taste of the new combat mechanics introduced.

While video game genres span across games of all different difficulties, some genres hold a certain prestige with harder experiences, which makes them more intimidating.

Apple just unveiled a bigger M4 family with the new iMac, Mac mini, and MacBook Pro models. However, the company is already moving on to the M5 chips, as it has ordered TSMC to start the production development of the upcoming Mac processors (iPad and Apple Vision Pro, too). According to The Elec (via MacRumors), the M5 chip will feature an enhanced ARM architecture and be manufactured using TSMC's latest 3-nanometer process technology, which will improve it over the M3 and M4 chips. While the M5 could have the newest 2nm process, it seems Apple scrapped that idea due to cost concerns. Still, according to the report, the M5 chip will adopt a new System On Integrated Chp technology, which enhances thermal management and reduces electrical leakage. With that, we could see enhancements in performance and efficiency and a broader focus on Neural Engine tasks for AI and Apple Intelligence. While knowing that Apple has moved on to producing its newer processors, we still have several months with M4 products, including some new ones that need to be unveiled. For example, Apple is expected to unveil the new M4 MacBook Air models in the first half of 2025, and an M4 Ultra Mac Studio is scheduled for mid-2025. Finally, a new Mac Pro could also be in the works for late 2025. If that turns out to be accurate, this release could coincide with the first M5 products. So far, the first Apple products we expect to unveil with the M5 chip are the iPad Pro, the MacBook Pro, and the Apple Vision Pro. Still, none of them should debut before fall 2025. That being said, we still have plenty of time with M4 products. Also, it doesn't seem Apple plans a major revamp for its products with the M5 chip. According to rumors, Cupertino could start tweaking the design of some of its Macs by 2026 when it plans to ditch the miniLED display for a new OLED technology. Below, you can learn more about when to expect new M4 Macs. Don't Miss: When will Apple release new M4 Macs?
