      Alright, I’ll replay Control.

      A new AAA title has just been released for the iPhone and iPad, and it’s one of the finest games to come to Apple devices. Control Ultimate Edition is now available on the App Store, bringing Remedy’s supernatural action game to iPadOS and iOS as a universal purchase, complete with touch control and external controller support.

      Remedy has tailored the iOS version specifically for mobile, altering the UI, aiming, and puzzles to enhance functionality on smaller screens rather than just presenting a simple port.

      If you missed Control the first time, it remains one of Remedy’s standout titles. You take on the role of Jesse Faden as she navigates the Oldest House, a shape-shifting “government” building filled with supernatural threats. Without giving too much away, think of a blend of eldritch horrors and the SCP Foundation. Although the initial pacing and gameplay might seem straightforward, the game really finds its rhythm later on.

      The mechanics are robust, the level design is exceptional, and the storyline is intriguingly complicated enough to keep you engaged. Moreover, if that doesn’t pique your interest, the game shares a universe with Alan Wake and has loose connections to Remedy’s classic, Max Payne. Control offers more than just shooting enemies – you also have access to powerful telekinetic abilities that make every confrontation a visual spectacle.

      Another pleasant surprise is the price. Remedy’s Control Ultimate Edition is priced at just $4.99 in the United States. It also allows for a universal purchase across iPad, iPhone, and Mac. However, the game is substantial for a mobile device, so be sure you have enough storage before downloading. The iPhone and iPad versions require approximately 45GB, making it not suitable for a casual impulse download. Nevertheless, it’s not every day that a game of this caliber appears so quietly available in your pocket.

      Monitors have evolved beyond simple upgrades. Here’s what’s changing.

      From OLED advancements to extreme refresh rates and 6K displays, the latest innovations are revolutionizing the capabilities of modern monitors. For a long time, monitors evolved in a predictable manner: resolution improved, refresh rates increased, and panel technologies advanced steadily. Upgrades felt marginal rather than groundbreaking. However, that trend is beginning to change.

      Razer has unveiled the world's thinnest glass mouse mat, which your wrists will appreciate.

      At a mere 1.9mm thick, the Razer Atlas Pro is essentially the iPhone Air of mouse mats. If you’re a gamer, you understand the significance of even the smallest details. The height of your mouse mat, the surface friction, the sizing – all of these factors impact your performance and how your wrist feels after extended gaming sessions. Razer tackles these issues with the new Atlas Pro mouse mat, which exceeds the sub-2mm threshold for a mousepad for the first time, setting a record as the world's thinnest glass mouse mat.

      Xbox Game Pass has become more affordable, and I have no complaints about the changes that accompany it.

      In the gaming world, there’s a fondness for hype cycles, but nothing beats a good value shake-up. Currently, Xbox Game Pass finds itself in the midst of one. Microsoft has officially lowered prices across all Game Pass tiers, making the service more budget-friendly at a time when subscription fatigue is increasingly prevalent. However, as is typical, there's a catch, and it’s a significant one.
