Deal Review: UGREEN Ethernet Adapter

Leave a Comment / Computer & Gaming Deal Reviews / Timothy H.

Plenty of technological devices require an ethernet cable at one point or another. Even today, when most everything is wireless in one sense or another, most of those devices get that wireless connectivity via something plugged up to an ethernet cable somewhere. That being said, not every device is ready to have an ethernet cable plugged into it. That’s where adapters like this one come in. The UGREEN USB 2.0 ethernet adapter provides nearly any device with a means of connecting to an ethernet cable, for whatever reason that would be necessary.

If you really want your gaming to be at the top of the leaderboards, it goes without saying that you need a headset: a really, really good headset. After all, the sound is an important part of an experience, whether that is communicating with friends and teammates or listening out for the sound of enemy players. And of course, there’s also the value in being able to hear the game as if you were actually in it, regardless of what it is!

Halo Infinite Will Have Microtransactions, But Not Loot Boxes

Leave a Comment / Gaming News / Timothy H.

Ever since Star Wars Battlefront II launched with a multiplayer progression system heavily influenced by loot boxes, the gaming world has frowned on such systems without fail. The community doesn’t like the idea of a player’s progression being significantly affected by how much money they’re willing to pour into microtransactions. That being said, microtransactions do not necessarily equate to loot boxes, something a lot of people tend to forget.

That of course means it won’t be free to play either.

Gaming News / Timothy H.

Back in 2019, Activision Blizzard stated that they wanted to make more mobile games than they had been thus far. Moreover, they even said that all of their franchises were potential candidates for getting mobile games. However, now even that statement is an understatement: apparently, Activision now plans to introduce mobile games for every single one of its franchises “over time.”

Gaming News / Timothy H.

Ubisoft has pushed two of its biggest upcoming titles, Rainbow Six Quarantine and Far Cry 6, out of the current fiscal year and into the fiscal year for 2021 to 2022. Unfortunately, this is quite the delay and provides us with a huge window for when either game may become available. They may come out anytime between April 2021 and March 2022. During an earnings call, CFO Frédérick Duguet said that the window of time may be slightly smaller, claiming that they should drop in the first half of the fiscal year. However, that is not a guarantee or confirmation that they will.

Apex Legends Is Adding Cross-Play In An Upcoming October Update

Gaming News / Timothy H.

It may come as a surprise to some, but cross-play isn’t nearly as universal of a feature as one would expect in today’s day and age. While many games do have the ability for people to play with or against each other across multiple platforms, far more games have no such feature at all, which can be a real hassle for people that want to play the same game with each other but don’t have the same platform to do it all with.
That’s why it’s always good news when a game has cross-play functionality, and even better news when a very popular game that didn’t have it before gains access to it. Such is the case for the immensely popular Apex Legends from Respawn Entertainment.

Computer & Gaming Deal Reviews / Timothy H.

A good gaming headset completes a good gaming experience. Visuals are, after all, only half the enjoyment of high quality. Without good audio to go with it, your experience of the game isn’t as good as it could be, which is why investing in a good gaming headset can go a long way. Of course, there are a lot of good gaming headsets out there, but this time around we recommend this model from Nubwo.

Microsoft Has Warned Developers Not To Offer Xbox Series X Upgrades As Paid DLC

Gaming News / Timothy H.

Microsoft has allegedly warned Xbox Series X developers against charging for DLC upgrades from the Xbox One to the generation that will succeed it. The intent seems to be disincentivizing publishers from charging money for a service that Microsoft wants to be a serious aspect of their Smart Delivery platform. Naturally, Microsoft wants the smoothest transition possible between console generations, with no barriers to players keeping their games when moving to the Xbox Series X. Of course, something like that would generally cost a bit of money.
