The first chapter, Crown of the Sunken King, sends you deep underground to recover the crown of Drangleic’s King Vendrick. Players must navigate a vast system of caverns filled with ancient, stepped pyramids that are guarded by ancient horrors. Their audacity in the face of adversity will be rewarded with relics of immense power.

Crown of the Sunken King is set for release on July 22 in the Americas. The following chapter, Crown of the Old Iron King comes out on August 26, and the final chapter, Crown of the Ivory King, follows on September 24. All three chapters will be available on PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. A Season Pass deal has been announced for PC, but there’s no official word on a similar arrangement for other platforms.

Lenovo’s $99 280Hz gaming monitor is built for the ramen-budget crowd

Lenovo is selling a 280Hz monitor for less than GTA 6 Ultimate Edition

Lenovo gaming monitor render

Fresh off launching a metallic Hall-effect keyboard and a 59g gaming mouse for flashy esports setups, Lenovo has turned its attention to gamers working with much tighter budgets. The Legion 24-1r looks made for broke college students who spent way too much on their first gaming rig and now have instant noodles doing most of the heavy lifting at dinner. It costs just 669 yuan, equivalent to around $99, yet offers a 23.8-inch IPS panel running at up to 280Hz.

Lenovo is also offering the 27-inch Legion 27-1r with the same core specifications for 789 yuan, or roughly $116. For the ramen-budget crowd chasing competitive frame rates, both look like seriously tempting deals. (via NotebookCheck)

I played Halo: Campaign Evolved, and its cinematics show what a Halo series could’ve been

Halo’s remake looks ready for Hollywood. So where is the show it deserves?

Adult, Male, Man

There is a moment early in Halo: Campaign Evolved where I stopped thinking about the remake as a game for a second. I was watching one of its newly rebuilt cutscenes. Master Chief, Captain Keyes, Cortana, the Pillar of Autumn, and the enormous scale of everything around them suddenly appeared a lot more cinematic than ever before.

I played the original Halo: Combat Evolved in the early 2000s, and in my head, this was exactly how it looked and felt. The first Halo title introduced intergalactic war to me long before Star Wars, and the cinematic tastefully adds enough minor touches that enhance Bungie's original work from decades ago.
