Pixels are one of the most popular ways to track an email. A small image, the size of a single pixel, is often attached to the email’s end.

‘The Crew 2’ hands-on preview
‘The Crew 2’ hands-on preview “Though it adds planes and boats, ‘The Crew 2’s greatest innovation might be its story.” Sprawling, open world Huge variety of activities and settings Reflection of real-world racing community Flexible, low key co-op Stiff collision physics MSRP $59.99 Ubisoft’s 2014 open-world racer The Crew made an ambitious promise. Drive any car you want anywhere you want in a condensed, but contiguous continental United States. It did not quite keep up to its end of the bargain, unfortunately. Critics’ and players’ feelings were mixed, which normally isn’t the kind of reception that spawns a bombastic sequel. Yet the game will have another chance to win everyone back. With The Crew 2, developer Ivory Tower hopes to fully manifest that core fantasy of a nation-spanning automotive sandbox. Deep into the PS4/Xbox One generation of hardware, the team is also making the game … [Read more...] about ‘The Crew 2’ hands-on preview
‘Dishonored: Death of the Outsider’ review
‘Dishonored: Death of the Outsider’ Score Details DT Recommended Product “'Dishonored: Death of the Outsider' puts a bow on the first two games, and serves as a satisfying epilogue to the series.” Satisfying conclusion to Dishonored series’ story Same great stealth gameplay we’ve come to love Dense and interesting level design Compelling protagonist Only one truly new power Limited “new game+” options MSRP $29.99 The Dishonored series has featured a wide range of human depravity, from murderous gangs of hooligans terrorizing the streets to sadistic nobles exerting their perverse desires onto a helpless underclass.

Here’s every PS5 game that supports ray tracing
One of the standout features of the PlayStation 5 is support for real-time ray tracing. The console supports ray tracing, but that doesn’t mean every game does. Worse, Sony doesn’t provide any indication of whether a game supports the feature or not. That’s why we did some digging to find every PS5 game that supports ray tracing. Pioneered by Nvidia’s RTX graphics cards , real-time ray tracing is a lighting technique that produces more realistic shadows and reflections. Instead of using a lighting or shadow map, reflections and shadows are produced from individual photons bouncing (or not bouncing) off of surfaces. Each ray of light is traced from its source to its destination, adding a sense of depth and realism to scenes. The problem is that ray tracing is demanding , even pushing the powerful PS5 to its limit. Developers are still optimizing ray tracing for the PS5, so we expect more impressive implementations as the console matures. All of the games below support … [Read more...] about Here’s every PS5 game that supports ray tracing
The best PS4 games you can play right now
The PlayStation 4 sits comfortably atop the throne of last generation’s arbitrary console wars. It’s the bestselling platform of the lot, with its early success being pinned mostly to its solid exclusive titles and aggressively-timed DLC deals in the face of the competition. As of December 2020, the PS4 has shipped more than 115 million units worldwide. Things have evened out in recent years when it comes to exclusives, but throughout the generation, Sony’s wedge of a machine has built up a healthy catalog of games across every conceivable genre. Its successor, the PlayStation 5, is backward compatible with nearly every PS4 game, meaning you’ll likely find yourself coming back to games from the previous generation on your new machine. Or, perhaps you’re still rocking the PS4 since the PS5 systems have been so hard to find. Either way, here is our definitive list of the best PS4 games.
