    Assassins Creed Shadows review: A return to form, as all doubts are cast away with Shadows

    In terms of gameplay, it takes less than five minutes for you to come to terms with classic Ubisoft game construction, as everything from movement to the environment is inimitably Assassins Creed fare. Few game studios have needed a game to succeed as much as Ubisoft has needed Assassins Creed Shadows. A game that has attracted controversy, unwanted attention, and the cumulative ire of right-wing gamers for attempting to tell the story of Yasuke – the Black Samurai, Shadows was expected to deliver Ubisoft from a string of solid games that failed to make a mark at the box office. Despite much being expected from Shadows, in 2024 (when it was set to launch), it was felt that the latest entry in the iconic Assassins Creed franchise would be review bombed into failing even before its launch. However, come 2025, the game’s launch has been quite successful with over a…

     What was biggest dinosaur that ever lived? 

    Spinosaurus is currently thought to have been the largest carnivorous (meat-eating) dinosaur, weighing in at 7.4 tonnes and 14 meters long Sydney: Kids of all ages and adults as well are fascinated by dinosaurs that break records for the biggest, the longest, the scariest or the fastest. It’s why, to this day, one of most famous dinosaurs is still Tyranosaurus rex, the tyrant king. These record-breaking dinosaurs are part of the reason why the Jurassic Park movie franchise has been so successful. Just think of the scene where Dr Alan Grant (played by New Zealand actor Sam Neill) is stunned by the giant sauropod dinosaur rearing up to reach the highest leaves in the tree with its long neck.

    What lies ahead for Microsoft’s Xbox?

    Rumors persist of a successor to the Xbox Series X/S and an upcoming handheld Understanding Microsoft’s future strategy for the Xbox is as challenging as solving string theory– just when you think you have figured it out, something new emerges to disrupt everything and undo all progress. Over the last couple of years, all signs from Microsoft have indicated its commitment to the cloud and its “Xbox Play Anywhere” slogan as some of its older exclusives have begun to appear even on competing consoles like the PlayStation. With Sea of Thieves launching at the end of April 2024, and Forza Horizon 5 set to launch on April 25, 2025, nearly a year later; it would be sensible for an industry watcher to claim that Microsoft has been refocusing on offering its best games to the widest playerbase possible.

      The A16 Bionic chip in iPhone 14 Pro models costs $110 to manufacture, which is 2.4 times more than A15 chip in iPhone 14 models. A Nikkei teardown of Apple‘s iPhone 14 series models revealed that production costs jumped nearly 20 per cent from its previous iPhone generation which is an all-time high. “The company has not raised prices for its latest model in the US and some other markets, but higher production costs mean that the company’s profit margin has likely shrunk,” the report mentioned on Friday. The production of iPhone 14 Pro Max costs Apple $501, up more than $60 from iPhone 13 Pro Max. The higher production cost is reportedly due to the A16 Bionic chips in the iPhone 14…

      How Parag Agrawal, Twitter employees reacted to Elon Musk’s latest offer: ‘Write the cheque bro’

      Elon Musk’s latest offer to buy Twitter for $44 billion has rattled some employees of the social media platform. Musk made the offer ahead of the October 17 court hearing in which — experts claim — the Tesla chief was poised for a major setback. Experts speculate that Musk made the move in order to avoid interest or penalty in case of an adverse court ruling.  Musk had offered to buy Twitter earlier this year but backed out on the deal saying the Twitter management didn’t clear the picture as to the bot accounts. Twitter sued Musk for not going through with the promised deal. Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal informed the company official about Musk’s offer in an email.  “We…
