War-torn Moscow gets some shine in these Metro: Last Light screenshots

By Scott Younker Published May 29, 2012

Twenty years after a nuclear war ravaged Moscow and its inhabitants, the broken city has become an ethereal dystopia full of natural and unnatural dangers. The remnants of Moscow’s population struggle to survive in the tunnels of Moscow’s Metro, as they fight for the few remaining resources.

In the latest screenshots for Metro: Last Light, 4A Games’ sequel to their cult hit Metro 2033, protagonist Artyom traverses Moscow’s surface to reach a station-city called “The Theatre” with a youth named Pavel.

We had a couple of chances to look at Last Light during E3 last year, and we were impressed. Metro doesn’t give players a lot of resources, and the shadowy world of Moscow in 2034 hides a lot of horror and danger, which gives the FPS something a bit unique.

Metro: Last Light won’t come out until 2013, but it will be out for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.

Well… at least God of War Laufey is getting a physical disc

Santa Monica Studio quietly confirmed the upcoming adventure won't be download-only.

Last week, Sony lit the gaming community on fire by announcing that all new PlayStation games released from January 2028 onwards would be digital-only, effectively bringing an end to physical discs for future releases. At the same time, the company also confirmed it would shut down the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita digital stores by July 2027, reinforcing concerns that digital storefronts and the games tied to them don't last forever. Unsurprisingly, the announcements triggered widespread backlash from collectors and long-time PlayStation fans. In the middle of all that, Santa Monica Studio offered a surprisingly comforting update: God of War Laufey will be available on disc. It's only one sentence, but it says a lot.

More than just a physical release

Samsung has a new breed of OBLYX OLED panels and they should appear on your gaming laptops soon

Samsung's new OBLYX brand is all about OLED gaming laptops

Samsung Display’s Gaming-optimized OLED Products Showcased at COMPUTEX 2026

Samsung Display has introduced OBLYX, its first dedicated OLED brand for gaming laptops, as the company looks to strengthen its position in one of the fastest-growing segments of the PC market. The announcement was made at Bilibili World 2026 (BW2026) in Shanghai, marking Samsung Display's first appearance at China's largest gaming and anime convention.

Rather than unveiling a new display technology, Samsung is creating a recognizable identity for its gaming-focused OLED panels, much like established branding for processors or graphics cards. The move also hints at the company's ambitions in China, where demand for OLED-equipped gaming laptops is accelerating rapidly, according to a Digital Today report.

Razer made a Cinnamoroll headset, and it is aggressively adorable

Razer launches a Cinnamoroll Edition Kraken Kitty V2 BT headset

Razer Kraken Kitty V2 BT Cinnamonroll themed gaming headphones

Razer’s Sanrio collaboration has already produced a full desk setup, and the final drop is now here. The company has launched the Razer Kraken Kitty V2 BT Cinnamoroll Edition, a wireless headset themed around one of Sanrio’s most recognizable characters.

Cinnamoroll is a white puppy from Sanrio, the Japanese company behind Hello Kitty and several other globally recognized character brands. He is known for his long floppy ears, blue eyes, curly tail, and soft cloud-like look. As per the Sanrio lore, he was born high above the clouds and can fly by flapping his big ears. Razer has leaned heavily into that identity for this headset, replacing the usual kitty look with Cinnamoroll’s floppy ears and a sky-blue color scheme.
