The Minecraft 1.21 update is finally here it is now time to figure out if it's a good update. The 1.21 update adds 94 brand new features to the game, which is more than the previous one. Moreover, they mostly fit in with the Minecraft worlds, though some features may be a bit overpowered. While the community really wanted an End Update, that didn't happen. Though, the crafter and vault blocks are direct result of the given feedback. Unlike the 1.20 update, 1.21 focuses on improving one in-game system. To sum it up, I do believe that 1.21 update is fairly good for the game.
Wuthering Waves features a stellar combat system with dodge counters and parries, making slaying enemies in the overworld an absolute blast. The open world is beautifully crafted, with a good number of activities and rewards evenly spread across the map. The game also suffers from bad performance optimizations and has a poorly crafted story. Fortunately, the game is free to play and the combat alone is worthy of my recommendation.

Realme Buds Air 6 are the latest in the brands' long running line up of budget TWS. This time they offer 50 dB of active noise cancellation and LHDC 5.0 High res audio support/ But how good are they, does the LHDC help with the sound quality and how long they last? All this I have answered in this review after a week of usage.
Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle is the volleyball manga in its finest form in every aspect. The cast and crew has diligently produced and delivered an exquisite film featuring an engaging plot, exceptional animation, and excellent voice acting performances that will significantly resonate with the fans of the series.

The Rogue Prince of Persia is a rogue-lite game, which brings our titular prince to another 2D replayable environment, this time locking horns with the Huns forces. While a little dry in content, the early access has got the gameplay set, and impressed me to no end.
Atlas Movie Review: Titanfall but with Jennifer Lopez

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, the latest installment in the Mad Max franchise finally gives us a richer context of the backstory of Furiosa, the Imperator of Immortan Joe. This action-adventure film set on the war-torn barren lands of earth is an excellent installment in the Mad Max franchise as it continues to enthrall the fans with its amazing performances and story.
The Realme GT 6T is quite the all-rounder, with an extra bit of focus on its performance, thanks to the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3. In addition to the processor, you get to see a stunning 120Hz LTPO curved AMOLED display, a big 5,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging as well as a decent Sony LYT 600 primary sensor. All of this for Rs 31,000 makes a whole lot of sense and is an easy recommendation in my books.
Getting the Google Pixel 8a for Rs 52,999 does not make sense, especially, since you already have phones like the iQOO 12 and OnePlus 12R that bring you more for less. Besides, if you're looking to buy a compact phone specifically, there's the Samsung Galaxy S23's 8GB/256GB variant which costs about the same and brings more storage than the 8a's base model. The poor thermal management and incorrigible front design of the phone make it a hard phone to recommend. My suggestion? Wait for the price to drop in the coming months if you're that hellbent towards getting it.
Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is the long-awaited sequel to Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. Ninja Theory has pulled out all the stops to create an experience truly worthy of the much loved saga. If you're a Hellblade fan who has eagerly waited for the game, keep on reading as our complete review breaks the game down. So whether it is the gripping story or the okayish combat, everything is covered here.
The 8 Show is a new dark comedy series on Netflix that features a survival game theme. After the success of the shows like Alice in Borderland and Squid Game, fans wonder if the new series is equally good. Here's the answer.

X-Men '97 episode 8 is here and it marks the first part of the finale titled 'Tolerance is Extinction".

Stellar Blade focuses on EVE and her companions as they arrive on the ruins of a devastated Earth. Not long after, EVE finds herself alone and trapped by all sides by Naytiba, the game's main villains. The game features an action packed story combined with beautiful characters and amazing voice acting. The blazing fast combat system kept me on my toes while the dynamic soundtrack calmed me down at once. Keep reading to find out about all the other elements that make this game great along with our Verdict in this Stellar Blade review.
So, Rebel Moon Part 2 is here continuing the tale of Kora and her warriors making an attempt to take a stand against the tyrannical empire. Now if we talk about if this movie is better than the first part, well yes, it is, but not in the places you would have wanted it to be. Wanna know what I mean by that? Go through this review to find out!
The Nothing Ear (a) has gone official for Rs 7,999 in India as the brand's latest TWS ANC earbuds. For that price, you get to see a great battery life, commendable ANC, and a bass-heavy sound signature if you're into it. However, for Rs 3,000 less, the OPPO Enco Air 3 Pro just seems like a more value-for-money offering, with a more balanced audio output. If you ask me, it definitely feels like a better choice over the Ear (a).
CMF Buds are the latest budget TWS by the Nothing's sub-brand. They offer a lot of features like 42 dB of ANC, large 12.4mm drivers, an unorthodox design and Ultra Bass 2.0 for those bass heavy tracks. So in this read, I deliver my in depth review of these buds after a week of usage and share my thoughts to help you make the decision of whether you should buy them or not.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 Review: A Classic D&D Adventure Experience in an Open World

The OnePlus Nord CE 4 has gone official as the brand's latest offering in the Rs 25,000 price category. While it comes with average cameras, it makes up for it with a stellar performance, a clean (but unoptimized) software experience and long lasting battery with 100W fast charging. If you take into consideration all the things that it brings to the table and if you prefer performance over cameras, this is the phone to get in the Rs. 25,000 price segment.

Solo Leveling Season 1 is a marvelous adaptation that pushes the boundaries of the source material to unreal levels. Right from the well-paced adaptation of the manhwa and the new anime-only scenes that add depth to the fight scenes to the voice acting and sound design, Solo Leveling ticks all the right boxes with its debut season. Time to Arise, and wait for the shadow army now!
Alone in the Dark is the latest iteration in a long running franchise that has kept gamers awake for years now. The 2024 game is a reimagined remake of the first one and focuses on Emily Hartwood and Detective Edward Carnby. Trapped in a world they don't belong in, the pair is tasked in solving the mystery and finding their way out. The game's lore is incredibly rich with an amazing atmosphere added in. While the combat sometimes feels clunky along with graphical blurring, Alone in the Dark is an amazing adventure gamers should embark on.

WWE 2K24 takes the already good 2K23 and tosses it up the ladder. The visuals and experience feel better than ever while the game performs great even on a old gaming PC. This year, it is all about finishing your story. As such, the gameplay gets a lot of improvements that help create a masterpiece. Plenty of new modes have been added including a new WrestleMania showcase with a Special Guest Referee, Casket, Gauntlet and Ambulance and matches. The MyRISE career mode comes with another great story in this edition with revamped MyGM and MyFACTION mode. Overall, WWE 2K24 is a solid follow up to a series and deserves the praise.
The Nothing Phone 2a is an all rounder near-perfect budget phone that offers an unparalleled software experience, commendable battery backup, good cameras and a stable performance throughout. However, it comes with its own shortcomings. For starters, it comes with a plastic frame and back panel, for which it feels a tad cheap in hand. You also don't get a charger or case in the box. Keeping these things aside, the device ticks almost all the boxes and is an easy recommendation for those looking for a good budget phone.
The Thaumaturge is an RPG that blends in a fantasy story into the 1905 Warsaw, where we follow the footsteps of Wiktor and his Salutors through the tense settings, solving and fighting our way out of problems. The game has a combination of new and old elements including an isometric camera view, turn-based combat coupled with a gripping plotline.
If we talk about Dune 2, it could only be defined by calling it a 'majestic' experience. Dune Part 2 is one of the best cinematic experiences you will ever see, be it the sets, the costumes, script, or the massive background score, you name it, and Dune 2 has most definitely nailed it. So people, if you have been thinking to go to theaters to watch this, trust me, and do it.

Lenovo has launched its LOQ 2024 gaming laptops in India, and they are quite compelling for the specs and features they offer at a reasonable price. We are reviewing the RTX 4060 variant here, paired with the Intel 14th Gen Core i7-14700HX. This laptop features a FHD 144Hz display. Considering its specifications and price, the Lenovo LOQ 2024 with RTX 4060 is one of the best mid-range gaming laptops on the market right now! However, there are some cons that you can read about in our full review.
If we talk about cinematic disaster, Madame web can easily top that list. The movie has everything you can expect from a poorly made movie. The dialogues are corny, the VFX and CGI are as bad as it gets, the acting is super dull and what not. Madame Web also has many plotholes that makes no sense in the Sony Spiderverse. Overall, it's a really bad movie.
Helldivers 2 is a third-person four-player co-op shooter that puts you in the shoes of the Super Earth's line of defense against alien bugs and socialist robots. With danger looming at every sector of space, your mission is to eradicate the enemies of Humanity, and bring prosperity to the great Super Earth.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Review – Simply a Genre Gaffe
Sampad Banerjee
View quick summary
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League manages to adapt the popular cast of rogue's gallery over to the gaming audience, dropping a compelling story-line with hard-hitting guns, and fun traversal. However, the game barely has any compelling content to enjoy playing and spending time for it. You will be killing the Justice League, but once you do, you'll be scratching your head once you're done.
Tekken 8 brings back the extravagant experience the series is known for, and ramps that up to 100%. The advent of the new fighting system makes the gameplay an aggressive and enjoyable affair, while the single-player Dark Awakens leaves a little more to be desired. Furthermore, Tekken 8 has turned out to be the most approachable entry in the series, thanks to the well-done training system and practice mode.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Review – Satisfying Metroidvania
Sampad Banerjee
View quick summary
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown packs a solid metroidvania package into a brand-new entry in the long-running beloved series by Ubisoft. While the characters can feel forgettable down the line, the story and gameplay makes up for its only shortcoming, creating possibly one of the best Ubisoft launches in recent memory.
All Call of Duty: Modern Warfare games have thrilled me since I started playing the game from 2007. There is no denying that Modern Warfare 3 did not meet my Call of Duty level of expectations. The story was short and rushed with bad gameplay execution. The ending seemed a bit generic along with reskinned Warzone maps in the campaign. Overall, the game did not make waves in the right direction as it should have.
