Classic Doom will be integrated into Husqvarna lawnmowers in time for spring
The 1993 edition of the game is coming to the Husqvarna Automower NERA Robotic lawnmower
While it might seem like video games and lawn mowing have little in common, a crossover between these two has happened before. Back in 2022, a researcher turned to Doom — the classic video game dating back to the 1990s — to draw support for “Right to Repair” legislation. Specifically, the researcher turned to the universal displays of 2630 and 4240 John Deere tractors to integrate the game and demonstrate farmers’ endless possibilities with unlimited access to their own technology. Now, a similar initiative is coming to new Husqvarna equipment.

A new game has been released to celebrate Space Invaders' 45th anniversary using Google's AR tech.

Hands on: Catalyst Black unleashes Vainglory's full potential, but at a cost
Catalyst Black is the latest mobile game from Super Evil Mega Corp — the creators of Vainglory. Here's what we think of it.
In the world of mobile gaming, finding hidden gems can be a challenge. After all, many companies -- especially nowadays -- have been focusing on the freemium business model. Most of the people I know, including myself, despise that. I play to wind down and enjoy an artistic piece that a person (or a studio) has built with passion. So, I want to play what great minds produce with their sincere devotion towards a certain idea. This makes cash cows that are designed to include an irritative grind a deal-breaker for me. Many of us are more than happy to pay once for a premium release, but the idea of a recurring purchase puts us off. Loot boxes arguably ruin the gameplay and unbalance players' capabilities by introducing elements of unwanted uncertainty. Catalyst Black is a new freemium title on iOS and Android from the makers of Vainglory. Despite its monetization model, it still offers engaging gameplay that won't necessarily pressure you into paying.
Catalyst Black is a new shooter game from the makers of Vainglory
Catalyst Black is a new shooter game developed by Super Evil Mega Corp, the makers of Vainglory. It launches worlwide next month.
Vainglory is one of the memorable games that truly stood out back in the day. It's a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) developed by Super Evil Mega Corp (SEMC). Vainglory easily deserved a seat on the best iPad games list. However, its servers were taken down back in 2020. Now it remains as a Community Edition that is nowhere as enjoyable. The good news for Vainglory's fans is that SEMC is back with a new title -- Catalyst Black. The game isn't a MOBA or a sequel to Vainglory, unfortunately. Though it does feature some familiar graphics, despite the different gameplay.
