    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. But how do scientists work out how big and heavy a dinosaur was? And what were the biggest dinosaurs that ever lived? Calculating dinosaur size In an ideal world, calculating how big…

    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. However, when you start feeling certain about that observation, Microsoft’s newer actions…

    A new discovery sheds light on our long-extinct cousins

    Since the discovery, researchers spent more than two years meticulously studying the remains of a million-year-old face. They tried to find out which species of ancient human they belonged to, and understand their lives and environment Hyderabad: Fragments of face bones from a species of extinct human previously unknown, dating from between 1.2 million and 1.4 million years ago, were discovered in the caves in the Atapuerca Mountains in Spain during archaeological excavations, which were going on for the last 50 years. The human traces stretched from the Bronze Age to hundreds of thousands of years into the past – before modern humans like us (Homo sapiens) even existed. These are earliest human remains ever found in Western Europe.

      Health and Tech: Sensor-based wearable to manage diabetes

      Modern technology is transforming personalised medicine at a very quick pace. The days of pricking fingertips for a drop of blood to test glucose at home are quickly disappearing. In the near future, the elementary home testing devices to measure sugar levels could well be replaced by wearables that can track glucose/sugar in the body all through the day, without the need to prick the fingertip with the needle (lancet) for blood. Yes, just like the smartwatch wearables that track heart rate, ECG and blood oxygen saturation levels in the body, medical device manufacturers and service providers have already started offering wearables, known as Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) devices that track glucose levels in the body 24/7. In fact, apart…

      iQOO Neo 6 review: A no-brainer gaming phone that also delivers great value

      The iQOO Neo 6 is basically an iQOO 9 SE Lite in spirit. Like the iQOO 9 SE, the idea here is also, presumably, to give you a high-end gaming experience at slightly more affordable prices. You could probably look at the iQOO 7 if you’re looking for something like that. It’s roughly selling at around the same price as the Neo 6 at the time of writing. But as brilliant as it is, it won’t be as future proof whether it be in software (it will be updated to Android 13 tops) or 5G (it, infamously, supports only one band). We understand that some of you may be fine with that, in which case, the iQOO 7 should be…

      Robots that move like animals

      Hyderabad: For decades, robot makers have turned to animals to help them understand how to build a machine that can travel over Earth’s diverse terrain. Almost any animal you can imagine has been used as inspiration for robots. That’s because animals — including humans — are good at doing things that roboticists would like their machines to do, like picking things up, jumping or maneuvering over rubble. Robots have been built to imitate the dash of a cheetah, the dexterousness of an opossum’s tail and the manipulative grasp of a human hand. Here are a few robots that owe their animation to animals: Cockroach-inspired RHex is a hexapedal robot designed to be able to wander over uneven ground. Cockroaches are able…
