Using only gameplay footage entirely taken from the gameplay of the upcoming Battlefield 3, EA and DICE have been trying to get your attention for nearly two months now. They want you to check out the stellar graphics using the new Frostbite 2 Engine. They expect that you will make suitably impressed sounds when the damage physics are displayed. They hope you will be further impressed to see that everything you are watching is still pre-alpha. If after watching the entire Fault Line series you aren’t at least a little impressed, then please let us know what games you are playing, because they must look spectacular.

The video below will be familiar to those that have followed the news coming from the game. It combines the three previous videos, the last of which was released on March 30. All three episodes debuted under the Fault Line moniker, and all three show off the early levels in the game.

Battlefield 3 is set in the very near future, and takes you through Paris, Tehran, New York and the fan favorite—Sulaymaniyah (it is in Iraqi Kurdistan). In the video below, you can see that insurgents have mounted a sizeable attack, which is then trumped by the Earth deciding that it has had enough of us puny meatbags, and fights back with an earthquake.

Battlefield 3 is expected to enter beta soon. Those that bought the Limited Edition and Tier 1 Medal of Honor games will have first access, although no release date for the beta has been given. The game itself though, will be released on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 on November 2.

If you're the kind of person who plans vacations around vintage arcades, hunts down rare pinball machines, or misses that one table you played years ago, there's now a surprisingly useful tool built just for you.

Called Pinball Map, the free website and mobile app does exactly what its name suggests. It helps players locate public pinball machines almost anywhere in the world, whether they're tucked away inside dedicated arcades, neighborhood bars, restaurants, museums, breweries, or even campgrounds. Think of it as Google Maps, but instead of helping you find coffee shops, it points you to your next pinball game.

Asus’ powerful new gaming laptop with a 240Hz Mini LED display makes its global debut
The 2026 ROG Strix G18 pairs up to RTX 5080 graphics with an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus CPU
ROG Strix G18 (2026) laptop

Asus has started rolling out the 2026 ROG Strix G18 globally, and the easiest way to describe it is as a slightly toned-down version of the ridiculous ROG Strix Scar 18. It keeps the same 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor but tops out at an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU instead of the Scar’s RTX 5090. (via Notebookcheck)

The Mini LED model gets the best balance
