Owners of a brand-new PlayStation 5 might notice that they’ve received an extra game in their library for free: Astro’s Playroom. This game was created by Japan Studio to show off the DualSense controller’s interesting new features, but the team went above and beyond to make this so much more than a fun collection of minigames.
It might be tempting to skip out on Astro’s Playroom entirely and play something like Spider-Man: Miles Morales or Demon’s Souls to test out your shiny new console, but that would be a tragic mistake. This is one of the most fun experiences you can have on a PlayStation 5 right now
Astro’s Playroom puts you in the bright blue boots of Astro Bot, a little robot with enough peppy energy to match the Road Runner. The game has Astro tour through different worlds, each themed after a specific component of the PS5. For example, the console’s cooling system is represented via Cooling Springs, an area that shifts from sunny beaches to icy floes. It’s such a gorgeous place, and a great example of how just one of these worlds can offer so much environmental variety. I spent a ton of time on the beach alone, exploring its waters and unlocking secrets.

5 Steps To Ensure Your Computer Security
FOR MANY YEARS, HAVING ANTIVIRUS INSTALLED on your PC was all that was needed to keep you safe from cyberattackers. And where Macs used to be the \"safe\" alternative is unfortunately no longer true.
MEANINGFUL REFINEMENT
Now I’ve been reviewing smartwatches and activity trackers for a long time, and the Watch GT 5 Pro is the first watch to actually get attention from my wife, complimenting its looks in the way of a classy wristwatch.
BIGGER DISPLAY, BUT WHAT ELSE?
My initial impression of the Pixel Watch 2 was that it felt like a round Fitbit Sense 2 running Wear OS. The tradeoff was losing iOS compatibility while still facing Fitbit’s paywall for advanced app features.

It's Upgrade Time
As the tenth anniversary of the Apple Watch approached, rumours about a revolutionary device with a dramatic design change swirled-the Apple Watch X. But as it turns out, we got the Apple Watch Series 10 instead.
