If you want to replace the Meta Neural Band for the Meta Ray-Ban Display, the company confirmed to me that it will cost you $199. Not cheap!

Ninja Gaiden 4 is awesome -- and great if you're a newcomer to the 3D games in the series (like me!). A lot of it is completely over-the-top, and it drags a little bit at the end, but I really enjoyed the game

This game is VERY good
🏐BALL x PIT🏐

OUT NOW on PC, Switch, PS5 and Xbox.

A brick-breaking, ball-fusing, base-building survival roguelite.

But be warned: it’s seriously addictive. Watch the trailer for real-time proof.

On Monday, Yacht Club Games delayed the much-anticipated upcoming game Mina the Hollower.

On Tuesday, I visited their studio and saw the game. It made for a rare glimpse at why a video game gets delayed and what "polish" actually means.

Why 'Mina the Hollower' Was Delayed
Yacht Club Games hasn't given a new release date, but the delay shouldn’t be more than a few months
