Telltale Games has shared a brief trailer for its upcoming Game of Thrones episodic adventure game. It provides an early look at some of the characters and locations that are featured in the series. It also confirms the veracity of the supposed screenshots that were leaked recently.

Familiar faces glimpsed in the trailer include Tyrion and Cersei Lannister, Margaery Tyrell, and Ramsay Bolton doing what Ramsay Bolton does best: torture. We also get a few quick glances at the Iron Throne, the Wall, and Ironrath, the ancestral seat of House Forrester, the family around whom the game’s story centers. You control five characters associated with the house, all of whose lives will intersect from all over Westeros and Essos to shape the fate of House Forrester as their surrounding countryside descends into chaos after the Starks fall from power in the north.

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.
