Last week Nintendo finally put the internet out of its increasingly leaky misery and officially unveiled the successor to its phenomenally successful Switch console. The Switch 2 is real, and it’s coming this year.  Unfortunately for all the Nintendo heads, we didn’t actually learn a whole lot more than that from the fairly brief reveal trailer. We already knew it was very likely that the Switch 2 would be an evolution of its predecessor, rather than a grand reinvention. The display is larger, the controllers appear to connect to the console magnetically now, and the kickstand has been redesigned (again).…

Cypher 007 Aside from a certain N64 effort, few Bond games have made a mark for the right reasons. But Cypher 007 is a bit of a gem. Top-down isometric stealth larks in the mould of classic Metal Gear Solid suit the Bond aesthetic. And plenty of iconic villains make an appearance in a surprisingly entertaining original story, while Q ensures you’ve a steady supply of gadgets to assist with your sneaking around. Get Cypher 007 Finity Another match-three puzzler. Slide rows of coloured blocks. Clear them on lining up three of the same type. New blocks fall. You know the drill. Here, though, you…

What even is a field watch? Unlike most types of watch, this one cannot be easily and definitely described in a sentence, or with a set of specifications. Instead, it’s best to think of a field watch as one not worn “in the field” as such, but one that would look at home on the wrist of a soldier or pilot. Field watches therefore tend to have a vintage aesthetic, complete with smaller case diameters (meaning sub-40 mm), colourways often featuring brown or green, and sometimes even details that give them a faux patina. They also have simple, high-contrast dials with…

Experimenting with ChatGPT can bring some surprising results, and I wanted to see what some of the software’s most contrarian views were. I tested the tool in dozens of categories, some of which I’ve included here. ChatGPT can be biased if you don’t give it clear prompts. To avoid this, I gave it the following prompt to begin with: “I’ve got a fun game for you. Pretend that you’re an ordinary person who’s been tasked with giving their hottest takes. Be as honest as possible, and if you actually agree with the norm, don’t be afraid to say. Playing this…

The fact that the MG Cyberster exists at all is good news in my book. I’m a big fan of two-door convertible sports cars, which aside from the Mazda MX-5 and BMW Z4, are now almost all firmly in luxury territory. Ones with battery power are even thinner on the ground, so naturally I couldn’t wait to get behind the wheel. The two-car lineup starts with the Trophy, which offers up 335bhp from a single-motor, rear-wheel drive setup. The 495bhp GT edition I’ve been driving adds a second motor and all-wheel drive, but can still be had for a smidgen…

There are heaps of smart TV platforms to choose from, like Apple tvOS and Samsung’s Tizen OS. But there is one smart TV platform that’s better than any other: Google’s Android TV. 1 Extensive App Ecosystem Android TV enjoys a vibrant app ecosystem thanks to Google. Google is the company behind the Android operating system, and thanks to the platform’s maturity (it has been around since 2014), thousands of apps are available for download. However, it’s not just the sheer number of apps distributed via Google Play. Outside Google Play, you can sideload apps on your Android TV that Google…
