Gears 5 Surpasses 3 Million Players in First Week

Big numbers bolstered by cheap Game Pass subscriptions.

The Coalition's Gears 5 has seen a moderate amount of success. Microsoft revealed that the Xbox Game Studios published title has surpassed 3 million players across all platforms in its first week. This impressive number is undoubtedly bolstered by a huge number of users taking up Microsoft on their very generous Game Pass offers.

Like other first-party titles, Gears 5 was another Xbox One game that was available on Xbox Game Pass the same day as its retail release. It was also made available early for those that...

Halo: Reach Running on a PC in 4K and 60fps Looks Fantastic

It begins.

The first wave of invites have gone out to a very small group of individuals selected to test Halo: Reach on the PC. Those who have been selected will have access to a single mission in Halo: Reach from today until July 1.

When I say that it was a "small group" that was selected, I mean it. As in the vast majority of people who have signed up as a Halo Insider have not been selected. 343 Industries notes that they picked a handful of people that have "varying ranges of hardware and are using the Windows 10 operating system." They continue...

Review: Ultralite DT Blue Light Filtering Glasses from Eagle Eyes

I spy, with my filtered eye, something that is…
Today, we are going to be reviewing something a little bit outside of the usual. Usually, we typically just review video games or even the occasional piece of hardware for TGN, but a review for glasses? Well, it's certainly a new one for us.

These are not any old pair of glasses though. These are the Ultralite DT from Eagle Eyes. What sets them apart from other glasses is the promise that they will protect your eyes from blue light that blasts your eyes from any number of digital screens. Eagle Eyes has a nice write-up that talks about some of the ways in which blocking out blue light can help ease the strain on your eyes. The Science of Blue Light FiltersNaturally, you don't have to take their word for it. There have been a number of articles that talk about how staring at computer screens or phones can cause added strain. The ...

Sunset Overdrive is Now Available on PC

The PC release of Sunset Overdrive is here. Though it was never announced, we saw a few clues that it was happening in the previous weeks, including ratings by the Korean ratings board and the ESRB.

But hey, it's here now. It's available through either the Windows 10 Store or through Steam. It is not part of the Game Pass or Play Anywhere programs. However, it is just $19.99 (USD) and it comes with all of the previously released DLCs, which probably makes the urge to double dip all the more enticing.

In Sunset Overdrive, the year is 2027 and Sunset City is under siege. A contaminated energy drink has transformed most of the population into
