On the Middle-Earth: Shadow of War benchmark, the Blade 15 reached 91 fps, cruising past the 87-fps average and the Alienware m15′s 75 fps.
Arguably the best game from one of VR’s best new developers, Floor Plan is an eccentric mix of multi-floored puzzling that sees you interacting with a colorful cast of characters. It’s a glorious throwback to the LucasArts heyday of adventure gaming, with outlandish solutions to bizarre puzzles that will often leave you laughing just as much as scratching your brain. It’s a little on the short side, but Floor Plan captures the random delights that VR can provide.
When we ran our productivity test, the Blade 15 paired 65,000 names and addresses in 45 seconds, which is just a few seconds slower than the 0:42 average. However, it was much faster than the MSI Stealth and the Alienware m15, which clocked times of 0:54 and 1:03.
It took almost a dozen people to write and produce the ornate, relentlessly triumphant “High Hopes,” a fact that might inspire some hand-wringing about the state of creativity today. But on his first top 10 hit in over a decade, Panic! mastermind Brendon Urie and his unlikely band of collaborators — which include folksy singer-songwriter Jenny Owen Youngs (Ingrid Michaelson, Pitbull) and rising hitmaker Tayla Parx (Ariana Grande, Janelle Monáe) — managed to make a song that doesn’t just sound seamless, it also explicitly celebrates the weirdos and oddballs whose approach to the music industry is anything but business as usual. — N.F.

A rock-solid debut from one of VR’s most promising new developers, Apex Construct takes players on a sprawling adventure in a strangely beautiful post-apocalyptic world.

Apex Construct is a game that’s very eager to please those that have been pining for a full gaming experience and, while not perfect, it gets more than enough right to be worth your time.
Just watched this last night at midnight and it was terrific! Everything I wanted, and more. Great performances from everyone and a really surprisingly emotional episode. Far superior to what we saw in the first season.

A guy who finds himself recruited by soldiers from the future to fight genetically enhanced bad guys in “Future Man,” because he’s awesome at a video game. Turns out, he’s not especially good at anything else. Riffing on classics like “Back to the Future,” “Future Man” is pretty funny, and pretty smart, too.

Dougal Wilson directed this single-shot video in which Natasha Khan takes a late-night bike ride with some of her best pals, a foreboding brood of hoodie-wearing guys in creepy animal masks, a la Donnie Darko’s Frank. According to a 2009 interview, Khan wanted the director to model the video after films like E.T., The Goonies, The Karate Kid, and even the aforementioned Gyllenhaal cult classic, movies that she dubbed “hoodie movies,” because they featured boys wearing hoodies and riding bikes, “a symbolic reference to breaking out of their suburban trappings and going on this journey of self-discovery." Wilson nails the sentiment, only this journey comes with more sick bike tricks. – C.W.
