The 5G chipset war kicked off with the Snapdragon 865 5G and Dimensity 1000 in the flagship segment towards the end of last year. We took a close look at how the two 5G chipsets compare, revealing how MediaTek has gotten even serious in its quest to take on Qualcomm. The Dimensity 800-series is yet another testament of the said drive. CPU Snapdragon 690 5G is an octa-core chipset based on a new Kryo 560 CPU....

It’s day 0 of E3 2016, with Microsoft, Ubisoft, AMD, and Sony holding their big press conferences the day before the convention officially opens. We’re here with the AOTF Podcast #35 to go over everything that we saw at the conferences, and what we saw afterward. Will, Dylan, and myself discuss the shows and what we thought, with some disagreement on the finer points. Microsoft kicked off the day with a very lackluster press conference, showing a lot of stuff that we’d either seen before, or was unfortunately leaked beforehand....

Every few years, the urge to play Ragnarok Online hits. If you asked me why I wanted to play so badly, it’d be difficult to get an answer. Only after several days of clicking on disgruntled beachside seals and muttering about cards would I even register that a question had been asked. Ask any recovering fan of the super popular Korean MMORPG and you’re likely to get a similar reaction....

It is always sad to see a game get abandoned for a long time. The last time we had a proper Splinter Cell was all the way back in 2013 with Splinter Cell Blacklist. This game had some mixed reviews due to the voice-actor change, the story, the gameplay, and so on. Then we got a mission in Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, and that was it. Well, not long ago, we saw the announcement of a Splinter Cell Remake that got players excited....

Get use to starting stages over. Streets of Rage 4 is decidedly old-school in many ways, and that means the game isn’t afraid to kick you back to the start of a level if you die. Is there a way to save, or to checkpoint your progress? Ehhhhhhhh… Streets of Rage 4 doesn’t have checkpoints, but your progress does auto-save.
