Playing 13 Sentinels on PS4 is like binge-watching an amazing, ambitious sci-fi drama
September 29, 2020
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim has all of the necessary elements for the most confusing science fiction story imaginable. There’s time travel, lost memories, prophetic dreams, android doppelgängers, and a cast of more than a dozen characters each with their own perspective on events that span hundreds of years.

September 29, 2020
Bang & Olufsen’s Beoremote Halo is beautiful & expensive, but it’s not totally clear why it’s necessary, or what it actually… is. Here’s what we do know: It costs $900, and is a round device with a rectangular touch screen that lets you control the Bang…

New Trailers: Resident Evil, Truth Seekers, The Queen’s Gambit and more
