Best Free Pc Games

While quality free games used to fall to demos for larger titles or indie-made Flash games on sites like Miniclip, today there’s a rich catalogue of high-quality free-to-play titles out there that are sure to impress. Some of these entries may contain in-game transactions or the offer of paid DLC, but the one thing they all have in common is zero barrier to entry – at least no financial barrier – we can’t account for skill....

Best Iphone 12 Deals In The Uk

The iPhone 12 range offers three sizes and four models, so it’s quite a change compared to the iPhone 11. Beyond the discreet models, the iPhone 12 series also adopts a new design language, reminiscent of the iPad Pro range (and the iPhone 4/5 before that), introduces a new, faster processor in the A14 Bionic, boasts better camera performance and, of course, adds in 5G. At its 20 April Spring Loaded event, Apple announced that the iPhone 12 and 12 mini would also be available in purple, adding to the existing range of five color choices....

Best Password Managers 2023

Let’s face it: passwords are a huge pain. Unlike a fingerprint, you can’t use the same password for every account because if someone guesses it, or steals it somehow, they can log into all your accounts. This means you should use a different password for each one, but the human brain isn’t designed to remember dozens of them, nor which password goes with which account. It would be much better if websites and apps could come up with a better solution than passwords to verify that you’re really you, but until that happens, we’re stuck with them....

Blackberry Classic Review

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict This is a hard product to score. If you want a smartphone with a keyboard, and you want it purely for messaging and calls, with a little web-browsing thrown in, the BlackBerry Classic is the perfect device at an excellent price. A five star product. But general smartphone users will be frustrated by the relatively low power, and the paucity of screen space. If you are a BlackBerry fan, you will love the Classic....

Bowers & Wilkins Px Review

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict For its first attempt at noise cancelling headphones Bowers & Wilkins has done an amazing job. By incorporating elements of the outstanding P9 Signature headphones in a compact and portable design, the PX are the best sounding wireless headphones we’ve ever heard. As usual build quality is luxurious, although they’re not the most comfortable around. Battery life is decent, smart sensors are handy and noise cancelling is great so there’s little to complain about here....

Bumblebee Release Date, Cast, Trailers, & News

There have been five Transformers films since Michael Bay reinvented the franchise in 2007, but it’s taken until now to get the first spin-off: Bumblebee, which focuses on the titular yellow Autobot in a smaller scale movie that looks to strike a warmer, lighter tone than the main series. With a new writer, new director, and new cast, this promises a bit of a fresh start for the franchise, which has suffered from diminishing Rotten Tomatoes scores (and box office performances) over the last few instalments....

Calling All Sneakerheads

There are people for whom a shoe is just a thing that stops feet from interfacing with dog mess, broken glass, and puddles, and there are people for whom a shoe is an object of desire. For those in the latter camp – the sneakerheads, the Manolo Blahnik fanatiks – I give you the LG Styler ShoeCare. What the original Styler does for clothing, the Styler ShoeCare aims to do for footwear....

Chuwi Hi9 Air Review: Big

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict We’d be lying if we said Chuwi had not cut some corners in this budget Android tablet, and it’s by no means a premium design. But in return for not a lot of money it also has a lot to offer, including 4G connectivity and a large 2K screen on which to watch movies, play games and get things done. Timely operating system updates are a concern, but the Chuwi Hi9 Air remains a functional and good-value tablet under £150....

Coloros 12 Focuses On Simplicity, Accessibility And Inclusivity

With Android 12 already (technically) now out in the wild, Oppo is among the first to pull the wraps off its own updated user experience – running atop this latest iteration of Google’s mobile platform – in ColorOS 12. Last year , Oppo brought ColorOS’ numbering inline with the underlying Android release it was running on (jumping from 7 to 11). With version 12, there are a number of areas that the development team looks to have focused on, in order to better tailor an experience that some 440 million users globally interact with on a daily basis....

Crucial Mx200 Ssd Review

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict When we tested the Crucial M550 last year it had a price/storage quotient of 37 pence per gigabyte. The latest MX200 is today available for around 30p/GB but other than that little has changed, except the newer drive has smaller process 16 nm flash and it measured slightly poorer in some tests. It’s still a good drive but it’s lost a little headway against higher performing or better value competitors like Samsung, SanDisk and OCZ....

Crucible Sets Amazon Game Studios Off To A Promising Start

More MOBA than blaster Comparisons are floating around comparing the game to titles like Overwatch or Valorant , but actually the third-person shooter shares more DNA with MOBA titles like League of Legends or Dota. Elsewhere one of the closest touchstones is Dying Light spin-off Bad Blood , which has you fighting PvE enemies, levelling up and then engaging your enemies. Levelling up grants you more powerful perks, chosen before the game, and the hope is that when you clash with other players you can leverage your perks to win fights and control objectives....
