Streaming porn web app SugarDVD arrives on Ouya this week as the Android console finally enters the consumer market, the app creator revealed. SugarDVD provides subscribers with unlimited streaming of hundreds of full-length pornographic films. It bills itself as being similar to Netflix, but for porn. Subscriptions cost $7.95 per month.

The SugarDVD porn streaming web app is already available on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, Roku, iOS, Android, and other platforms. The app is accessed through a device’s browser, where users can log in and view the streaming content. The company plans to add support for Xbox One as well once the new console launches later this year. Nothing’s been announced in terms of planned PlayStation 4 support, but given the ubiquity of the service it will be surprising if it doesn’t come to Sony’s next-gen console as well.

What reviews didn’t say about the Steam Deck OLED

The Steam Deck OLED on a pink background.

The Steam Deck OLED is a complete refresh of the original model. It packs the same power under the hood, but Valve touched nearly every part of the OLED model to improve on an already stellar design. We have the device in our hands now, and it has a few notable changes that go beyond performance and specs.

Our own Steam Deck OLED review is live, but we wanted to focus in on six unique aspects of the device you wouldn't find in a typical review.
The fan is new (and way better)

Why owning the best PC hardware didn’t make me a better gamer

Logitech G Pro X mechanical gaming keyboard.

Give it up, guys. It turns out you can have every possible advantage going for you as a gamer -- the most powerful PC, the fastest gaming monitor, the lightest of gaming mice, and the most low-profile of gaming keyboards - but if you just aren't very good, none of it makes much of a difference.

I really hoped it would, too. I've recently been dabbling in some competitive FPS (first-person shooter) play on my PC and decided to give myself every leg up my combined salary and review sample back catalog could manage. And though I'm sure it helped, I didn't receive the advantage I was hoping for.
The man
Let me set the stage for you. I'm a mid-30s, typically single-player PC gamer who hasn't taken competitive gaming seriously since the launch of Rocket League. I used to play Unreal Tournament 2004 in my teens, along with Half Life mods, some Counter-Strike 1.6, and a little Halo when we could get enough original Xboxes and TVs together. More recently, I've dabbled in the odd Call of Duty single-player campaign -- and I loved Evolve while it lasted -- but I haven't played much in the way of PVP (player versus player) FPS games for a decade or more.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder didn’t need a Nintendo Switch 2 to look fantastic

Bowser terrorizes Mario and company in Super Mario Wonder.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is out now, and it’s a true Nintendo hit. Mario’s latest adventure was met with a wave of glowing reviews earlier this week, and it’s easy to see why. The 2D platformer is both a reinvention and a return to form for Nintendo’s most important franchise, bringing transformative new gameplay ideas to an age-old formula. There’s some tasty icing on that cake too: It just so happens to be one of the best-looking video games of the year.

While it's not the glitzy spectacle of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 or the photorealistic achievement that is Forza Motorsport, Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a sight to behold in its own right. That’s thanks to vibrant cartoon visuals, detailed animations, and painterly backdrops that bring depth to the 2D Flower Kingdom. It’s a marvelous feat, and it was all accomplished on the same aging console that has left gamers begging for an upgrade. While that Nintendo Switch successor may be right around the corner, Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a reminder that strong art direction can be just as impactful as raw power.
Looking wonderful
Just looking at out-of-context screenshots, Super Mario Bros. Wonder might not look that much different from New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. It’s only when you first boot it up that you’re drawn into a deceptively beautiful world. That’s apparent from the very first stage, as Mario stands against a sea of green and blue hills rolling in the distance. Star-shaped trees tower above him, with their simple leaves lightly blowing in the wind. The Flower Kingdom instantly feels alive in ways that even some of the biggest-budget 3D games aren’t able to accomplish.
