Death Stranding 2: On the Beach hands-on review

5 days ago | stuffindia.in | Khumail Thakur

Death Stranding 2 review: Story If you're a seasoned porter, you'll be happy to know the narrative picks up right after the first game's finale. Sam is living out his days in the hills with Lou, his now all-grown-up (and utterly adorable, by the way) Bridge Baby. But, because this is Death Stranding, peace is about as stable as a stack of cargo. Something goes awry, and suddenly, you're tasked with connecting the entire continent of Australia to the Chiral network.

2 weeks ago | stuffindia.in | Khumail Thakur

The yearly graphics card rumour mill has finally ground to a halt, and plopped into our testing bunker is the INNO3D GeForce RTX 5060 Ti X2 OC. INNO3D might sound new to us Indians because it’s slowly bringing all its GPUs to India starting with the the RTX 50 series lineup on April 16, 2025, including this card in 16GB and 8GB versions. The ‘60 Ti’ has traditionally been the sensible choice for PC gamers.
Elden Ring: Nightreign review

2 weeks ago | stuffindia.in | Khumail Thakur

Elden Ring: Nightreign is not Elden Ring 2. It's not even Elden Ring 1.5. Think of it more as a riotous, roguelite-infused afterparty to the main festival, one where you and a couple of mates get thoroughly crushed by the bouncers, only to dust yourselves off and dive straight back into the fray. It’s a standalone, three-player co-op caper that takes the combat and gothic grandeur of Elden Ring, chucks it in a blender with a dose of procedural generation, and hits ‘pulse’ until you’re dizzy.
OnePlus 13s review

3 weeks ago | stuffindia.in | Khumail Thakur

Design OnePlus has been busy copying the currently trending designs in the smartphone market, but honestly, it’s still a looker. It’s clean, it’s sleek, and it’s as symmetrical as a perfectly balanced seesaw. The compact size makes this new design language sing. It’s not just easy on the eyes; it feels rather lovely in your mitts too. Personally, I am not a fan of block-shaped smartphones because the edges dig into your skin. iPhones and Pixels also have the same issue.

And we should be able to launch our first model with Dolby Vision in the second half of this year (2025).It will start with the higher-end ones, starting with a new model of laser TV projector that we are going to launch, so that would be mostly the first model where it will get integrated.
Apple’s Logic Pro can recall beats you forgot to record

1 month ago | stuffindia.in | Khumail Thakur

Apple has just amped up Logic Pro for both Mac and iPad, promising to make your beat-making journey smoother than a freshly buttered vinyl record. We’re talking next-level sonic separation and a trick that’ll make you say, “Flashback? You bet your sweet beats I’ll capture that!” First off, the Stem Splitter has had a serious glow-up. It's not just separating drums and bass anymore; it's now a guitar hero and a piano prodigy, extracting even more detail from your audio.
The Precinct review

1 month ago | stuffindia.in | Khumail Thakur

Story You’re fresh out of the academy, badge gleaming, probably still smelling faintly of shoe polish and youthful optimism. And whose massive size 10s are you trying to fill? None other than your old man’s, a legendary copper from back in the day. It’s a tale as old as time, or at least as old as the first police procedural.
RoadCraft review

1 month ago | stuffindia.in | Khumail Thakur

Now, I’ve navigated my fair share of treacherous terrains – mostly driving in Mumbai on a Friday afternoon – but this? This is about getting your hands virtually mucky, fixing things, and generally being the hero in a hard hat. Forget your spandex-clad saviours; we’re talking about the real champions – the ones who can operate a Vostok TK-53 Krot cable layer without spilling their tea.
Apple CarPlay Ultra takes over Aston Martin’s instrument cluster

1 month ago | stuffindia.in | Khumail Thakur

Apple waited a couple of years before releasing a new upgrade for Apple CarPlay. Apple CarPlay Ultra works with the manufacturer's aesthetics and car’s systems, and it’s not just an update, it’s a full-blown dashboard revolution. Forget CarPlay, merely borrowing your car's main screen; this next-gen wizardry is taking over the entire gaff, starting today with brand-spanking new Aston Martins in the US and Canada. Fancy! So, what’s the Ultra all about?
