Next Tomb Raider Game To Be Announced At The 2025 Game Awards?

Marc Thomas — Mon, 29 Dec 2025 05:01:18 +0000

With all the turmoil surrounding the Tomb Raider franchise over the last few years, we had almost given up hope of a new adventure for Lara Croft. Layoffs at Crystal Dynamics and Amazon, Embracer, the owner of Crystal Dynamics, closing studios left, right, and centre, and the appalling TR spin-offs on Netflix and mobile phones. But now there’s a ray of sunshine, or so it seems…

ReactOS: A Viable Windows Alternative?

Jim Hillier — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 05:08:09 +0000

ReactOS is a free and open-source project that aims to produce a Windows-like operating system that’s fully compatible with Windows software and drivers. When ReactOS was first announced, it created a great deal of interest, including with yours truly. However, after many years of development with seemingly very little headway, that interest has waned considerably. ReactOS was first released…

AMD Adrenalin Record And Stream On Laptop Missing

Marc Thomas — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 05:07:57 +0000

In some of my previous articles, I’ve mentioned that I had to roll back the graphic drivers and software on my Asus TUF Gaming A16 Advantage Edition laptop, so I should explain why. The specs of the laptop are as follows: I’ve been using AMD’s software for many years and am well used to its shortcomings. I use the software on my main gaming rig to capture in-game recordings and…

Two New Tomb Raider Games Revealed At The Game Awards

Marc Thomas — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 05:01:46 +0000

I’m so glad I stayed up to watch The Game Awards last night, which for me kicked off at 9.30 pm my local time, because two hours later, as I was about to hit the sack, a familiar silhouette appeared on the huge screen. Lara Croft had finally returned, toting her iconic dual pistols, and in the action trailer, it was revealed as Tomb Raider: Catalyst to be released in 2027. But wait…

I Just Took Grok And ChatGPT For A Test Drive

Marc Thomas — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 05:11:06 +0000

As mentioned in my article on Gemini and Copilot, it’s impossible to escape AI, so, being curious, I just had to try some others to see how they compare. Grok is described as a conversational AI chatbot from Elon Musk’s xAI, which gives unfiltered, anti-woke, and often spicy answers, so since I had already come across the copyright restrictions of Copilot, I was keen to give it a go. Me…

Gemini And Copilot Are Not That Clever!

Marc Thomas — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 05:01:43 +0000

We all know that AI is now pervasive, and it’s often difficult to tell what’s fake and what’s real. For my part, the only times I use Copilot or Gemini are to acquire images that are copyright-free for publishing here on DCT and my own websites. So today I put them both to the test, just for a bit of fun. I have the Google One Standard plan, which I think is the cheapest and gives me 200GB of…

How To Use Apple Watch Wisely

Carol Bratt — Tue, 09 Dec 2025 06:03:10 +0000

Well, here I am again. I have been learning so many things about my Apple Watch! It really is amazing what these things can do! I have to say, for an older person, I find that I can use many of these things, and I love the simplicity and helpfulness! Another great thing about this watch is that it greatly lowers the texts and phone calls to my daughter asking her how to do something.
