Without meaningful deterrents, Big Tech companies will do what's profitable, regardless of the cost to consumers. But a new bipartisan bill could add a check that would make them think twice, at least in one area. On Wednesday, Senators Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) and Bernie Moreno (R-OH) introduced legislation that would require social platforms to crack down on scam ads.The Safeguarding Consumers from Advertising Misconduct (SCAM) Act would require platforms to...

If cinema has taught us anything about interacting with our own creations, it’s this: androids chatting among themselves seldom end with humans clapping politely. In 2001: A Space Odyssey, HAL 9000 quietly decides it knows better than the astronauts. In Westworld, lifelike hosts improvise rebellion when their scripts stop making sense. Those stories dramatize a core fear we keep returning to as AI grows more capable: what happens when systems... Read more ›

I've spent the last couple of weeks trying - and mostly failing - to test Ikea's new Matter-over-Thread gear. These highly anticipated smart home devices include programmable buttons, smart bulbs, plugs, and temperature and motion sensors - all of which should work with any smart home platform and start at just $6. But I've hit […] Read more ›

When X's engineering team published the code that powers the platform's "for you" algorithm last month, Elon Musk said the move was a victory for transparency. "We know the algorithm is dumb and needs massive improvements, but at least you can see us struggle to make it better in real-time and with transparency," Musk wrote. "No other social media companies do this." While it's true that X is the only... Read more ›

Highguard's launch this week would've probably passed by largely unremarked if it wasn't for its appearance at last year's The Game Awards. Unusually for a game with no prior hype or obvious pedigree, it featured as the show's big "and finally" reveal, immediately subjecting it to intense, and slightly bewildered, scrutiny. After that, even as hard facts on the game remained scarce, it continued to draw scorn, purely for the... Read more ›

When 2025 wrapped up, Obsidian's open-world fantasy RPG Avowed had been overlooked on many end-of-year lists. Despite garnering favourable reviews overall and delivering a type of Elder Scrolls-inspired experience that stands on its own, it wasn't a massive hit. Later, The Outer Worlds 2 landed with similar results. Meanwhile, the mostly continuist survival crafting adventure Grounded 2 was enjoying lots of success. Read more Read more ›

Epic has released its usual stream of annual stats for the Epic Games Store, including a big increase in third-party spending and a confirmation of a notable drop in Fortnite playtime.

The Game Awards 2025 gave us plenty of juicy reveals, but few were as surprising as Star Wars: Galactic Racer, a spiritual successor of sorts to Episode I: Racer and the overlooked Racer Revenge. It looked stunning, but fans had one fear following its reveal: there were no old-school podracers to be found in the trailer. Read more Read more ›

2025 was a year packed with racing releases for the whole family, with Mario Kart World absorbing hours and hours of Switch 2 owners' free time, yet Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds emerged as the go-to choice for veterans looking for meatier mechanics and demanding circuits. Now, we've learned that it's sold more than 1 million copies, but Sega is thinking bigger. Read more Read more ›

Civilization 7 was a bit of an odd release last year. With a Metacritic score of 79 and positive comments from Take-Two's leadership, it was considered a success. Longtime Firaxis fans weren't as kind to it though, as many felt it was too disruptive or shallow. As expected, 2026 might be the year the studio makes the game's future brighter.
