Introducing Samsung’s ultra wide CHG90 Gaming Monitor

Some of you might remember that Samsung launched a pair of amazing gaming monitors last year, showing off a curved panel design and superior color thanks to their impressive quantum dot technology. But there’s a new incredible monitor in town, and that’s the Samsung CHG90; it boasts double full HD resolution across 49 diagonal inches at a crazy 32:9 aspect ratio, and if you think this is an affordable piece of gaming equipment, you’re far from it.

The Vaio Z Mercedes-Benz special edition laptop throttles when it boots up

"Vroom vroom" is a special sound only cars make, but now you can hear it every time your laptop boots up if you buy this new Mercedes-Benz special edition Vaio Z for the Japanese market. To make sure you grabbed the correct Vaio Z, the one that's only for car lovers and makes car noises, there's a picture of a car on the lid, a Mercedes logo on the trackpad, and a few other hidden Mercedes logos elsewhere on the laptop that probably only people who saw The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift in theaters will ever find.

Here’s the boot-up sound, in case you were curious. I was not disappointed about how it sounds like a car.

Ultra Street Fighter II for Switch is the first true portable fighting game

When I think of fighting games, I think of in-person competition, whether it takes place in a smoke-filled arcade or huddled around a TV. I don’t usually think of portable systems. But looking back over my history with Capcom’s fighting games, and Street Fighter in particular, I’ve always had a portable version kicking around for a quick on-the-go fix.

These include games like the surprisingly great Super Street Fighter II Turbo Revival for Game Boy Advance; a near-perfect version of Street Fighter Alpha 3, scuppered only by the original PSP’s terrible D-pad; and the impressive 3DS port of Street Fighter IV that I played far more than anything else throughout that system’s troubled first year. One thing I never did was play any of these games with other people. Whether it was the need for link cables or that every player required their own system and copy of the game, setting up portable battles always seemed more trouble than it was worth.
