Turtle Rock announces limited edition Goliath statue for the most hardcore Evolve fans

By Will Fulton Published February 16, 2015

Turtle Rock Studios and 2K have teamed up with TriForce to create a magnificent looking statue of Goliath, one of the big, bad beasties that you will use to savage your friends in their upcoming asymmetrical co-op shooter Evolve.

The Goliath statue is 29 inches high and a whopping 35 pounds, living up to its imposing name. It features built-in LED effects for glowing eyes. Only 500 will be available worldwide for the bank-breaking price of $750. If you need something even more exclusive, swing by TriForce’s booth at New York Comic Con next week to pick up a more limited edition version of the statue for $800 that features some red paint for the Savage Goliath skin that has been announced for fans that pre-order the game.

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

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?

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.
