Japanese robot is excellent at mobile puzzler Puzzles & Dragons

全自動パズドラロボ作ってみた/Automatic P&D robot
Just as with chess, checkers, and recently Go, machines have beaten us at another game of our own design: the hugely popular Japanese mobile game 
Recommended Videos
Puzzles & Dragons. This match-3 game with RPG elements has consistently been one of the top grossing apps of the last few years. Japanese YouTube user Junya Sakamoto built a robot that can play the game on a smart phone, with an attached laptop analyzing the best move to unleash a torrent of combos. (via Kotaku)

The rig doesn’t appear to be purpose-built for playing mindless mobile games, of course. Another video uploaded by Sakamoto shows him operating the phone from sleep mode entirely with verbal commands. The video shows off a variety of apps: browsing websites, dictating text, dealing with alarms, asking for directions, etc. While perhaps an overwrought solution to hands-free phone use for an able-bodied person, this could be a real boon to someone who might not have the manual dexterity to operate a smartphone, but who still wants access to all the conveniences that it affords.

Puzzles & Dragons (2012) is available on iOS and Android for free, but features in-app purchases, which have added up to billions in revenue for developer GungHo. An article on Gamasutra about coercive monetization techniques in free-to-play games cited it as being particularly masterful at manipulating players into spending money. Accordingly, GungHo can’t be particularly pleased at the notion of robots that can play the game with uncanny precision.

Fallout 76’s next update could revolutionize the endgame experience
Two vault-dwellers and a helmet from a set of power armor.

Fallout 76 had an undeniably rocky start, with an above-average number of bugs and glitches for even a Bethesda game. It also has one of the best comeback stories in all of gaming and is now a popular, and more importantly, populated, game with a ton of content. The Gleaming Depths update promises to add even more to do in the game, including a brand-new raid, the biggest boss yet, and — finally — four-star gear.

This update marks the start of Fallout 76 season 19, The Scientific Forge. It starts on December 3, but the new raid has already been conquered several times over on the Fallout 76 Public Test Server. However, the biggest news of all isn't in the new raid or even the better gear.

Microsoft is testing a Steam-like in-game overlay
A screenshot of Edge Game Assist with Capture, Audio, and Performance windows open on-screen.

Have you ever paused your game, tabbed over to a browser, and Googled something you were stuck on? You aren't alone. 88% of PC players have done that, Microsoft says. While this works for a lot of people, it can cause games to glitch out (like Skyrim, which somehow always loses my crosshairs).

Microsoft's solution is Edge Game Assist, a fully-featured in-game browser that's similar to Steam's overlay but with a twist. It's essentially a gaming-optimized version of Microsoft Edge that appears on top of your game in Game Bar. Here's the cool part: It knows what you're playing and will toss tips your way (although that feature only works for a few games at the moment). And even cooler, you'll be able to access your browsing data from the normal version of Edge, so you won't need to log back in to any sites. That also means you can access your browsing data from your phone and your PC.

The PlayStation Portal is finally worth buying
A Pulse Elite, DualSense, and PlayStation Portal sit on a table.

Whether you're looking at the base PlayStation 5 or the Pro model, investing in a current-gen machine hasn't gotten any cheaper since launch. While sales for Sony's newest console are by no means bad, there are still a large number of players out there who are either sticking with their PS4s or simply holding off on buying hardware entirely. Sadly, $450 is the lowest admission price (excluding the rare discount or buying secondhand), and it is not an insignificant amount of money for most people.

The PlayStation Portal was originally launched as an accessory to the PS5, much to the chagrin of those who were hoping for the next iteration of the PlayStation Vita. It isn't quite the dedicated PlayStation handheld we wanted, but it might be the closest thing we get. Thanks to a fresh update, this $200 device has transformed into a no-brainer entry point to the PlayStation ecosystem that doesn't break the bank, and I can easily recommend to almost anyone.
Step through the portal
At launch, the PlayStation Portal was fairly limited in functionality. It would allow you to play your PS5 games remotely so long as both were connected to the internet. That kept it from truly competing with devices like the Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch, which could function completely independently. That has all changed with the latest firmware update. Now, the Portal can stream a selection of PS5 games directly from the cloud via the internet -- no PS5 required. While the update to the Portal doesn't fully take it off the leash -- you're still tethered to a Wi-Fi connection -- it does create the perfect on-ramp for new players.
