• Acer's flagship 8-inch handheld just hit the UK, but you'll need to wait until next month in the US

  21-09-2026 17:13 via gamesradar.com
  
  It won't launch in the US until next month, but the Acer Predator Atlas 8 just landed in the UK. The 8-inch gaming handheld is anything but a Steam Deck rival, as it'll provide your thumbs with TMR thumbsticks all while running games on a punchy Intel Arc G3 Extreme chipset for £1,300, and while I'd prefer cheaper options, it's nice to see the brand up its portable availbility. Available for £1,299 at Currys, the Predator Atlas 8 isn't actually Acer's first best gaming handheld conte

• RuneScape: Dragonwilds has gathered its ingredients but still lacks flavor

  21-09-2026 17:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  I didn't come to RuneScape: Dragonwilds as a complete RuneScape virgin, despite missing the boat on RuneScape back in the '00s. I've played a little bit of Old School RuneScape, and was incredibly absorbed in the Jagex-published Melvor Idle. I'm not exactly unfamiliar with how the game's sense of progression works, and it makes sense that a survival spin-off could have worked. Could. Fundamentally, there's nothing egregiously wrong with RuneScape: Dragonwilds. It is paced much like other surviva

• Celebrate Batman Day With The Entire Arkham Series At Its Lowest Price Right Now

  I’m a little basic. My favorite Marvel superhero? Spider-Man. My favorite DC hero? Batman. I can’t help it, but the Caped Crusader’s dark aesthetic, combat prowess, detective skills, and lack of superpowers (besides being rich) make him a global phenomenon for all the right reasons. The Batman Arkham series may be the defining adaptation of the character, and if you want to play it from start to finish, it’s never been cheaper. So, make like a bat and grab the chance.I&rs

  Especially this year, building a desktop gaming PC setup will set you back a fortune, and that’s true of just building yourself a rig. It’s easy to forget you also need to invest in peripherals, maybe a controller, and the thing that slips everyone’s mind is a set of computer speakers that outdo the awful ones found in monitors.

Creatively dubbed the Yoniq Portal Handheld Gaming Console, the retro handheld is clearly taking cues from both the OG PS2 DualShock controller and the Pl
