I’ve never used a game console, a handheld, or a controller, but the recent Microsoft reveal of the ROG Xbox Ally really piqued my interest. Neither am I an expert on handheld gaming devices, being a PC gamer, but we can’t ignore this new handheld
Reminded by Jim Hillier’s recent article Microsoft Says TPM Is Worth The Upgrade – But Is It?, it’s only just come to my attention that some games require Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 – Fortnite (for tournaments), Valorant, The Finals and Vanguard (Call of Duty)
(Ed note: This article was written a while ago but we feel it is still relevant.) In October 2024, I wrote Tomb Raider Remastered IV- VI Announced and true to form, these new remasters will be released on the 14th February. Yesterday I pre-ordered on
