Things are expected to come to a nice conclusion for the Android world tomorrow, with the pending launches of Samsung’s Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge. Not only will both the devices be the first Android flagships for 2016, they’ll also mark the launch of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820; the US chipmaking giant’s successor to the Snapdragon 810, which failed to make it on last year’s Galaxy S6/S6 Edge.

Chiffon cakes are, as the originator Harry Baker opined, “something cosmic.” A chiffon cake is in the family of aerated, egg-based foam cakes — like sponges and angel food cakes — all sky-high and light. With the addition of oil, a chiffon bakes up into one of the most versatile cakes in the baking repertoire. They’re great with a simple glaze; they can be cut in half and filled with flavored whipped cream, mascarpone, or custard; or used instead of ladyfingers in a Charlotte cake or a trifle.

Campo Santo has pushed a new update live for the PlayStation 4 version of Firewatch that addresses a number of performance issues.
According to the developer, the patch “significantly improves the experience across many aspects of the game.” The patch improves draw distance and shadow render distance, adjusts streaming loading and unloading, improves overall framerate, and reduces the frequency of autosaves.
A list of the biggest changes included in the patch can be found below:

As far as runners go, Tron Run/r might have it all. In a genre that many scoff at for its general simplicity, this package is hardly stripped-down. In fact, there’s no denying that it has significant heft. Before long, it’s questionable as to whether that’s more of a detriment than anything else.
“Bloat” is the word that kept coming to mind as I maneuvered my way through Tron Run/r‘s several courses. With regard to game mechanics, there’s a subtle but important difference between depth and bloat. Every…
A new Firestorm, Soviet torture, blood-stained messages, and a trip to future Star City.
Continuing the arc of 1980s Communism, Fail-Safe finds our Legends up against Valentina Vostok as she looks to create a Soviet version of Firestorm. As Rip Hunter shows us, if this comes to pass, then the present-day (as in 2016) is in complete chaos as multiple Firestorms fill the air, unleashing flames onto those below them.
Key to all of this is Martin Stein, with him held captive by Vostok…
League of Legends is a game where anything can happen. You can get a Quadra kill on your support Sona, or feed on your main champion you practice every day. There’s a sense of uncertainty that makes this game a new experience every time you accept a match. It’s even possible to run into a League celebrity. Pros and streamers play on the same servers as you and not all of them are Master-tier gods.

Xbox boss Phil Spencer once stated that Xbox One will get mouse and keyboard support. But for a while we didn’t hear any updates on the topic. Many were wondering what is going on.
So is this still happening or has there been change of plans? Well, according to Phil Spencer, it will be done. When asked about it, he said that “Yes, we will get this done.” We don’t know when, but support for a mouse and keyboard will happen.
It is great news for gamers who prefer using a mouse and keyboard for FPS games….
While developers are, by virtue of the job, very creative folks, there are only so many types of environments that seem to crop up in MMOs (particularly fantasy titles). Yes, sooner or later you’re going to traipse through the Earthquake Zone, the Lava Zone, the Swamp Zone, and the Green Hills Zone. Wait, that last one might be Sonic the Hedgehog. Nevermind.

In the middle of a Peruvian jungle lies a legendary river that is said to be so hot, it could boil animals to death.
This so-called “Boiling River” has an ancient name of “Shanay-timpishka,” a rough Amazonian-Quechua translation of “boiled with the heat of the sun.”

A myriad games made 2014 a fantastic year for indie horror, but it was a handful of uniquely terrifying indies like Outlast: Whistleblower, The Forest and Neverending Nightmares that managed the impressive feat of standing out in a sea of surprisingly fantastic games.

Recently, a little red Camaro sold at a price tag most would deem high for a GM-produced sports car – $300,000. It garnered that amount at Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona late last month after being shown off at the 2016 SEMA show in November. So, what’s so special about this particular Camaro for it to sell at such a price?
For one thing, the auction was for charity, and all proceeds benefit the United Way. There’s a little more…
2,685 pounds. 800 hp (tba). These aren’t figures to be sniffed at. At this upper echelon of the hypercar game, however, we’ve seen so many crazy numbers and figures and heard so many promises — too often, promises made and never truly met — that it’s easy to become a little dismissive. Jaded, even.
But when a man by the name of Horacio Pagani comes out with something new, well, that’s when everyone should take notice. Pagani is an Argentine…

Although the big VR makers are working on hand-tracked controllers to allow us to bring our limbs into virtual worlds with us, Leap Motion has been developing a camera based solution and it’s had some success over the past couple of years.

Microsoft has yet another new mid-ranger, and at first glance, that’s not bad.

And both before Mobile World Congress, the annual event in Barcelona, Spain, and the setting for a double 640 launch 12 months ago with Stephen Elop taking the stage. A lot…
When Sony suffered its devastating security breach at the end of 2014, internal emails were released that cost executives their jobs and the company millions of dollars in damage.

Talking with Peter Kafka onstage at the Code/Media conference at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel in Dana Point, Calif., Lynton said that he is back to using his fax…

In the original Tomb Raider — the most recent original Tomb Raider — our cast of characters is shipwrecked on a sinister island. Lara Croft becomes their unlikely savior. Well, of the ones that survive. Because the template isn’t pulp adventure; Tomb Raider is a horror story in which our heroine is transformed by violence and death. As she descends into increasingly nightmarish levels, the island’s mysterious background emerges and the members of the cast meet their various fates. It’s an exciting…
The PC version of Need for Speed (the rebrand from last year) will be released on 17 March, and now has some system requirements for people to pick through.
In a very welcome move, the “minimum” and “recommended” both include more detailed specifics about what those words actually mean. Exactly the sort of thing I was asking more developers to do in my recent Quantum Break system specs article. More of this, please!

Judging from the timeframes OnePlus worked under for the OnePlus One and OnePlus 2, many informed commentators would estimate that the OnePlus 3 release date will fall in summer 2016. There’s no information on the OnePlus 3 price yet, but we would expect it to offer similarly good value to its predecessors.
Some early conceptual renders of the OnePlus 3 design were leaked in December 2015. They leave much to the imagination, but it would appear that the…

Building crossover 
vehicles comes much more naturally to Mazda than SUVs. The company got out of the compact-truck game long ago, and its first SUV was the Ford Escape- based Tribute. As car-based crossovers became more popular, Mazda applied its sporty-car expertise to the template and the results have been impressive. The CX-5 and CX-7 blend the fun-to-drive aspects of Mazda’s sedans with the all-weather confidence and utility of SUVs to great effect.
