Does it make sense to build something that will almost certainly end up wrecked before its useful lifetime is over? In most contexts, the answer is clearly "no," since doing so is a waste of money and resources. But lots of people seem to have a blind spot when it comes to planning ahead for climate change.

The government is under pressure to reconsider its commitment to a new generation of nuclear power stations after the cost of state support for offshore windfarms reached a record low yesterday. Experts said green energy had reached a tipping point in the UK after two windfarms secured a guaranteed price for their power of £57.50 per megawatt hour from the government.

We all knew that Cliff Bleszinski’s controversial comments would hurt Lawbreakers but it looks like nothing stops this game from a crash landing right now.

Now, the game that should have been Overwatch’s competition is going down, and it seems th...

The news Sunday morning that North Korea had launched what appeared to be its sixth nuclear test and most powerful one to date is troubling enough. But a statement from the rogue regime took things to a whole new level.

The Galaxy S8 Active is the fifth Samsung S phone to bear the Active name, and it's easily the most refined take on the concept yet. Currently, the S8 Active is only available on AT&T, and that's the model we've received for review, but eventually, Samsung has less than subtly implied it will make its way to other carriers here in the US, as well to the unlocked market.

A small clay tablet that's 3,700 years old may be about to make studying trigonometry much easier, thanks to the work of an Australian mathematician.

Cuphead is a flashback in many ways. It hearkens back to the classical, hand-drawn animation style of the 1930s. And it's reminiscent of 2D, 8-bit-era platformers that were so tough, they wanted to make you throw your controllers against the wall. Those are both reasons I can't wait to play the rest of the game when it finally hits the Xbox One and Windows PCs on September 29th.
