Xbox Cloud Gaming comes to Meta Quest headsets
Microsoft’s Xbox Cloud Gaming is now available for Meta Quest 2, 3, and Pro headsets.
I knew it was coming and it was just one of a dozen excuses I used to justify buying a new Meta Quest 3 at launch. Late last week, whilst gathering a bit more material for my long in gestation Meta Quest 3 review, I came across the freshly released Xbox Cloud Gaming App in the Meta Quest store.

The Talos Principle 2 PC Review
2014’s The Talos Principle was a surprise hit for Croteam, a developer more famous for the mindless, tongue-in-cheek shooter, Serious Sam, than philosophy and esoteric puzzles. It’s time to delve into The Talos Principle 2 and ponder, once again, the concept of free will, and what it is to be human, whilst solving puzzles in a world where mankind is but a distant memory. Continue reading The Talos Principle 2 PC Review
ASUS TUF Gaming Z790-PRO WIFI motherboard review
For the launch of Intel’s 14th Generation CPUs, ASUS has revisited its ATX DDR5 TUF Gaming Z790 motherboard to bring us the ASUS TUF Gaming Z790-PRO WIFI.
Sitting between Asus’s more budget-conscious Prime and enthusiast-level Republic of Gamers brands, the TUF Gaming brand styles itself on producing durable, military-grade components. Whilst they certainly look the part with a more industrial design, in my experience, TUF Gaming Z-series motherboards are dependable in that they offer reasonable performance tweaking without the instability that usually comes with overclocking.

For years, Call of Duty games have alternated between development studios and their relative narratives.
