    Medieval brawler For Honor is out today, but we don’t have a review for you yet. We only received code from Ubisoft yesterday afternoon, and the servers didn’t go live until later that evening. But I’ve been playing it fairly solidly since they switched them on, and here’s what I think of the game so far. It's set in a world locked in a state of perpetual war, where preposterously burly medieval knights, vikings, and samurai spend their days battering each other with variously shaped bits of ..

  • Do New Galaxy S8 Leaks Reveal Too Many Secrets?

    Do New Galaxy S8 Leaks Reveal Too Many Secrets?
    Thanks to the incendiary Note 7 battery issues, Samsung delayed the production schedule of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus to ensure that the correct lessons were learned from the burning phablet.

  • Forget eggs. 245-million years ago, this long-necked sea creature gave birth to live babies.

    Forget eggs. 245-million years ago, this long-necked sea creature gave birth to live babies.
    Artist’s conception of a pregnant Dinocephalosaurus. (Dinghua Yang) A quarter of a billion years ago, when a shallow sea covered what is now southwest China, a large, long-necked aquatic reptile got pregnant.
