Being excited about a new game is normal, but it is not every day that you actually get to play it early. We have seen people set up their accounts' region in New Zealand in hopes of cheating the system just so that they get to play the game before others, even if it is a few hours earlier.

iRacing Studios, the development team founded earlier this year by iRacing.com, is expanding beyond the NASCAR franchise.

No, I didn't just pick up Synchronizers Undead Marines because the titular warriors look kind of like Space Marines. Let's just get that out of the way. They do, in a way, but that's not why this game caught my attention. It was coincidental. Pretty cool, but coincidental nonetheless. I wanted to talk about Synchronizers: Undead Marines because of its unique take on StarCraft-esque strategy, how it turns RTS tropes on their heads to create what the devs call a "reverse tower defense" game.

I didn't know there was a Mini Motorways community. As in, a community of players so dedicated enough to a niche, minimalist road strategy game that their calls for changes are heard and implemented by the developers. But there is, and the developers have responded. Mini Motorways has finally added a Creative Mode, allowing players to customize their cities and build them from the ground up.

The Asus ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 Dhahab has appeared once again, but this time it's not in the Middle East. Instead, the card is gearing up for a US launch, only it appears to be missing the one huge feature that made the other Dhahab cards unique. Oh, and it costs $900 above MSRP.The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 currently sits on our guide to the best graphics card, specifically as the best under $1,000.
