WB Games' best PC titles are in this $12 Humble bundle
The future of Warner Bros. Games is unclear, as it shut down several studios and canceled anticipated games earlier this year. But there's no arguing that the company's back catalog of titles is full of gems, many of which are in Humble's great $12 bundle. Through August 27th, you can jump on this unbeatable deal that gets you 16 WB Games titles on Steam for just $12, with proceeds going to the Raiden Science Foundation. This bittersweet bundle features an array of licensed and original open-world titles, fighting games, and first-person shooters from WB Games' studios — most of which have either fallen from grace in recent years, or have been shut down. The standout for me is Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, Monolith's third-person action game that features the excellent Nemesis System, a mechanic that allows enemies to remember and react to players. For instance, if an enemy kills you in battle, that enemy will get stronger and remember your last encounter, making fights feel more personal. Other highlights include Batman: Arkham City, Batman: Arkham Asylum, and the oft-overlooked Mad Max. There's a lot of fun to be had with other games in the bundle too, like Mortal Kombat 11, Mortal Kombat XL, Middle-earth: Shadow of War, and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, among others. In most cases, you'll be getting the most content-complete versions of the games with purchase. Sign up for Verge Deals to get deals on products we've tested sent to your inbox weekly.

Using AI to build battery value chains is vital for West – Monolith [includes podcast]
China has amassed a considerable global competitive lead in developing automotive battery tech and associated supply chains, according to an executive from AI engineering specialist Monolith, speaking exclusively to Just Auto. London-based AI start-up Monolith says it is doubling down on its mission to reinvent battery development, presenting its ongoing work in developing its next generation of AI technology for battery R&D. At this year's Battery Show Europe, the company showcased its agentic battery expert – an AI tool being developed to act as a virtual scientific co-pilot for engineers tackling the toughest challenges in battery R&D. Speaking to Frankie Youd in the Just Auto podcast series, Marius Koestler - VP AI for Batteries at Monolith – described the challenges facing the global development of automotive batteries as an increasingly political-technical discussion for governments around the world to face up to. This embedded content is not available in your region. 'Beijing is bringing all the forces together, strategically,' he said. 'It has gone with LFP [Lithium Iron Phosphate] technology which is winning big-time, while Europe, the US, Korea and Japan are still mainly on NMC [Nickel Manganese Cobalt] tech.' However, Koestler also said that there is a huge opportunity to utilise AI solutions to speed up battery tech development times. 'China has amassed a huge supply chain presence when you look at high-growth companies like CATL, but it's a highly dynamic situation. AI solutions are becoming highly relevant to this space and how the world's major economies and industries will look in the future.' This embedded content is not available in your region.

It's even better than I expected. I get so many compliments."
