Its ultimate origin is likely from the Proto-Indo-European root sper- meaning "to strew, scatter, or sow," possibly referring to the act of throwing a spear. The word has maintained its form and meaning relatively consistently across Germanic languages.Let me know how you fared with your Wordle today on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.

Lenovo continues experimenting with unique computing designs, bringing a new concept to Barcelona for Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025. The brand has showcased a proof of concept called the ThinkBook Flip AI PC concept, which is essentially a 5-in-1 laptop, with five distinct display modes of function.Many are familiar with 2-in-1 devices, that function as a standard clamshell computer, and swivel on a 360-hinge to stand in an easel style, for reading, creativity, and productivity functions. However, the ThinkBook Flip AI PC takes advantage of several of Lenovos developments over recent years, including foldable and rollable technologies. The device includes a dual hinge feature that supports the five usage modes and can be used for display optimization, productivity, multitasking, and collaboration.LenovoThe device can take on a standard clamshell mode, with a 13.1-inch 16:10 OLED display. It can then extend up into a vertical mode, with an 18.1-inch 2000 x 2664 resolution 3:4 OLED display.Recommended VideosThe third share mode folds outward with the panel 13.1-inches and the outer panel 12.9 inches, dual 16:10 aspect ratio, enabling multiple users to access the device. In read mode, the outer display panel folds flat against the device cover, with a 12.8-inch 2000 x 1258 16:10 display. The device is closed in tablet mode, leaving only the folded panel visible, with a 12.9-inch 2000 x 1258 16:10 display. Lenovo said the ThinkBook Flip Al PC is intended to provide AI-enhanced workflows and dynamic work environments and eliminate the need for external monitors.Hardware on the ThinkBook Flip AI PC includes the Intel Core Ultra 7 processors, 32GB LPDDR5x memory, and PCIe SSD Storage, in addition to Thunderbolt 4 ports and a fingerprint reader. The device has 11.3 x 8.2 x 0.7 dimensions and weighs 3.1 lbs. The device is also one of Lenovos Copilot+PCs, making its AI functionalities built-in.The ThinkBook Flip AI PC takes inspiration from former concepts turned products, including the ThinkPad X1 Fold series and the rollable ThinkBook Plus Gen 6, the latter of which is scheduled to release in June. While there is no word on whether this is a product that could ever come to market, Lenovo is a brand that enjoys showcasing concepts in general. The brand demonstrated its futuristic transparent display laptop during WMC in 2024. It also showcased its voice-controlled Auto Twist AI PC during IFA 2024.Editors Recommendations

Ghost Of Ytei definitely out this year, probably (Sony Interactive Entertainment)The Monday letters page feels that being a game developer is no longer a desirable job, as a reader is upset the PS5 version of Forza Horizon 5 is digital-only.To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@metro.co.ukExclusive newsI see theres not much in the way of new games scheduled for March and after the Sony State of Play Im still not clear if theyve actually got any exclusives planned for PlayStation 5 this year at all. I know that the Returnal sequel isnt this year, but I dont think they said that Wolverine was 2025, did they?I know Im not the only fed up with Sonys attitude but this year they dont even seem to have big third party exclusives like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth or Stellar Blade. Asleep at the wheel doesnt even begin to cover it, as far as Im concerned.I think the other reader talking about just giving up and switching to PC is probably right. Unless the Switch 2 is something better than Im expecting. I havent been impressed so far but if the April reveals are good then I may have to Switch to Nintendo, just to have some decent exclusives to play.RentonGC: Ignoring Days Gone Remastered on April 25, the next exclusive is The Midnight Walk on May 8 and then Lost Soul Aside on May 30 although neither are by internal first party Sony studios. Ghost Of Ytei is but it doesnt have any release date, just sometime this year. Wolverine doesnt have a date or year.Any old formatIf barely half of PlayStation 4 owners have upgraded to PlayStation 5, I really dont see any reason why Activision would make Call Of Duty current gen only, or EA with EA Sports FC. Its such a small leap in graphics anyway, I wonder if we could end up seeing games being released across three whole generations.Maybe Call Of Duty 2028 will be out on PlayStation 4, 5, and 6! Doesnt seem too ludicrous to me, especially as technically GTA 5 has already done it. I think in a sense that Xbox are right and the format you are playing on is becoming increasingly unimportant.Im sure the Switch 2 will have plenty of support even though its barely more powerful than a PlayStation 4. Weve reached a level of graphics now where anything better is just a luxury, one that the sort of people that play Call Of Duty wont care about.PitacranNo futureI dont get why Microsoft isnt giving a physical release to Forza Horizon 5. The only possible reason I can think of is that they want to keep the Xbox version seeming special, but that goes against everything else theyre saying at the moment.Given the recent PSN outage I am more committed than ever to buying physical wherever possible. Even though I know, in my heart of hearts, that its pointless. If I turn my console back on in 40 years, and try and play something from todays era, its never going to work properly without updates that by that point will no longer be available.Its so strange to know that games being released today are going to be unplayable in a few decades, but Ill always be able to plug in my old NES Mega Man cart and have it work.GrantEmail your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.ukThe greatest eraIm loving the look of that new Terminator 2 game.The 16-bit is my favourite era and I look back on it fondly. Having said that, due to licensing issues and time constraints the movie tie-ins all felt a bit slapdash and the results where mediocre to not great.I look back on games like Super Mario World and think thats as good as platforming could have got due to the console limitations at the time.Games based on movies? Not so much.Its an interesting concept to take on an old franchise from that era and turn it into a game that fits the time, so gaming dinosaurs like me can say to ourselves, I wish this game was available when I was a kid. Right the wrongs so to speak.I hope it turns out as good as it looks, and I really do wish them the best of luck with it.The reader who mentioned RoboCop, thats a great shout. I had it on the Game Boy, it was OK but I was willing it to be so much more.Here is to hoping Terminator 2 turns out to be a good game and they make enough money to start turning their heads to other franchises of that era.freeway 77No condemnationIts a shame to hear about Monolith Productions. Especially upon reading that they made the F.E.A.R. games and Condemned. Who can forget that bear chase in Condemned 2 and that game was so crazy to play through. I regard F.E.A.R. and Condemned as being part of a high point in gaming among the first person shooter genre, as around that time there was those games as well as The Darkness, Halo 2, Half-Life 2, Doom 3, etc.And as an Xbox Series X owner reading the stats on gaming time I can state I have never bothered with live service games, unless you count GTA Online as one. Nope, I have only stuck with single-player games mostly.IcelticghostGC: GTA Online is definitely a live service game.Thankless taskLong time fan.It is really disheartening to hear that many readers dont seem to value the people who dedicate their lives to building their games.I work in IT as a data analyst. Although I do some programming, its nothing compared to the unbelievably complex works of art that games developers produce.For many, games developers/designers are the topmost talent in the programming world. They really are masters of their craft, having to create realities, characters and stories from raw data, using the most intricate coding and problem-solving skills. They appear to work crazy long hours, needing medical attention at times, to be rewarded by hateful comments on social media, pay that can never keep up with their work hours, and finally redundancy most often due to the ineptitude of their management executives choices.About 13 years ago, I once met a developer in Guildford who had been working for Codemasters on their racing games. As an F1 fan, I was gushing about how amazing it must be to be one of the chosen few who could actually build top tier games. Looking agitated, he immediately countered that he wanted to leave the industry for a less stressful job with shorter hours, as he was being worked to the bone. He was looking at many non-game programmer roles.With this knowledge, I would never recommend anyone become a games developer. The risks far outweigh any reward. In fact, if my children ever bring up this career path, Id persistently dissuade them.At this rate of decline in numbers of game developers, I fear that games will become boringly bland copies of older games made by AI, lacking anything new never mind the human cost.Gamers should probably be careful what they wish for.BFGAnything but CastlevaniaThanks for the review of Ninja Cop. Ive always known about this game but never saw it in shops when it was out and then it became too expensive to get second-hand.Ill probably get the remaster, especially if its in a sale, but I wonder why Konami took till now to release it? Itd be neat if they were going to do a sequel. Although thatd be even weirder if they did that and still no Castlevania. Ill take it though.ArnieA new challengerI agree with GC viewer Tony T. that the Elder Scrolls 6 may be released too late, as the recent releases of sandbox type games like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show just how good they can be compared with Bethesda and CD Projekt Reds games.The streamers I have seen playing the game have heralded it as a big win for Warhorse Studios and Deep Silver. Its amazes me as to all the stuff you can do in the game and the variety of places to visit. Another important point is the characterisation and the handling of them all. So many interesting and funny conversations are experienced here, in what surely has set a bar for The Witcher 4 and The Elder Scrolls developers.Reading the messages on X, from some of the developers behind the project, shows just how proud they are of the talented team that they were a part of and how it all came together. I would love to see a documentary of the games development and the ideas behind it all and the artwork that inspired them.So when finally the next Witcher and Elder Scrolls game gets released, itll be nice to have another contender and possibly a new role-playing style to enjoy, as we wait for the more well-known developers to release their products in the future.AlucardInbox also-ransI really do not get the appeal of Monster Hunter Wilds. Im not sure Id even take a day off for it, if I knew I had to play it the whole time.FocusI would so love Half-Life 3 to be a Nintendo Switch 2 launch game. Only problem is I think theres about as much chance of that as the reveal event being hosted on the moon.LaxmateMore TrendingEmail your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.ukThe small printNew Inbox updates appear every weekday morning, with special Hot Topic Inboxes at the weekend.

As the Nintendo Switch 2 looms the best console ever turns 8 years old todayGameCentralPublished March 3, 2025 1:00am A tough act to follow (Nintendo)The original Nintendo Switch is celebrating its eighth anniversary but given its huge success is there any way the Switch 2 can match or surpass it?On March 3, 2017 Nintendo released their follow-up to the disastrously unsuccessful Wii U console. By the time the Nintendo Switch launched, the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 were already over three years old and this marked the first time Nintendo, or any other major console manufacturer, had released two main consoles in the same generation. It was an act of desperation on the part of Nintendo and yet it proved to be their greatest triumph.Within a shockingly short amount of time the console surpassed both of its competitors and, at over 150 million sales, will undoubtedly beat the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 as well. Although how it will compare to its successor, the Nintendo Switch 2, is much harder to predict.The Nintendo Switch 2 will be unveiled in full via a special Nintendo Direct on April 2, with the consoles release generally imagined to be somewhere around June. Although Nintendo is notoriously difficult to predict and officially we know almost nothing about the console yet, other than what it looks like and that it will have a new Mario Kart game.When it come to hardware sales, Nintendos history is one of unpredictable highs and lows. They rarely do things by halves, in either direction, and given how little we know about the Switch 2 at the moment theres really no way to predict how it might fare; other than there already seems to be a strong appetite for it amongst fans and that, by following the same general formula of the original Switch, it should do well.That formula is easy enough to explain but extremely difficult to pull off, and even harder to repeat a second time. It comes in two parts and first requires a new style of console design that is so completely different to the norm it immediately attracts both keen gamers and more casual customers. It then needs a steady stream of high quality games, ideally based on recognisable franchises but reimagined in new ways.How did the Nintendo Switch become so successful?As impossible as that plan seems its exactly what the Switch achieved, with a hybrid design half home console and half portable whose benefits were instantly recognised by all.The obvious problem is that you cant reinvent the wheel twice and so far Nintendo doesnt seem to be trying to. Most outsiders have advocated keeping the same general hardware design for the Switch 2 and while we dont yet know how the mouse controls will work or what the mystery button does, it seems unlikely that the Switch 2 is hiding any secret so big its going to completely change how the console is perceived.The problem is that so much of Nintendos success is based on giving people what they never imagined they would want or enjoy. Few will complain that Switch 2s hardware design is playing things safe but, at the same time, it seems to be missing the obvious innovation that was such a big part of the originals appeal.The problem for the games is very similar. The Switch has amongst the best entries ever in The Legend Of Zelda, Super Mario (both 3D and 2D), Animal Crossing, Super Smash Bros., Metroid, Fire Emblem, Luigis Mansion, Pikmin, Kirby, and Super Mario Party franchises, most of which were radical rethinks of their traditional formulas.To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a webbrowser thatsupports HTML5videoUp NextThe only real failings have been the disappointing nature of the last two Pokmon games (which technically isnt down to Nintendo) and a very safe Splatoon sequel (which was nevertheless hugely successful in Japan) but beyond that and a new Mario Kart which has already been unveiled for the Switch 2 the new console has very few obvious routes to take, for Nintendos biggest franchises.Where do you go with Zelda after the groundbreaking Breath Of The Wild? Now that Pikmin has been reinvented, and has proven considerably more popular than ever before, do you really risk reinventing it all again? Even Super Smash Bros.s own creator has admitted its very difficult to imagine anything topping the size and spectacle of Ultimate, so what comes next?What games will the Nintendo Switch 2 have?These are not questions anyone but Nintendo can answer. From what little we know of their line-up though, everything not only makes sense but seems to align with exactly the priorities weve implied. The new Mario Kart appears to be a major deviation from the series norm, the first person Metroid Prime 4 will be considerably different to Metroid Dread, and while its only a spin-off the recent first look at Pokmon Legends: Z-A was a promising one.Theres absolutely no suggestion that Nintendo is resting on their laurels, merely that their job is that much difficult with a follow-up to the Switch. And in all probability they will find new ways to reinvent their series, even if theyre not quite as extreme a makeover as before. Plus, given the new consoles increased power, they can look to fill out their release schedule, not with Wii U ports but a much larger number of third party games than before.How much well truly learn about Nintendos plans in April, beyond the immediate launch window, remains to be seen but despite the difficulty of the task ahead theres nothing so far to suggest theyre unaware of the pitfalls.More TrendingThe June release date is based on only very vague rumours, so its not necessarily accurate at all. The Switch could still be Nintendos primary console for the majority of this year and it still has new releases scheduled officially Metroid Prime 4 and Pokmon Legends: Z-A are both ordinary Switch games, with no sign yet that theyll be playable on Switch 2 via anything other than backwards compatibility.What is the best video game console ever?The exact point at which the Switch is superseded is irrelevant though. Its glory days are clearly behind it, even if they will be long remembered. There are many contenders for the best console of all time the SNES, the PlayStation 2, the Xbox 360 but its very hard to judge without being swayed by either nostalgia or recency bias.But it does feel as if the Nintendo Switch deserves the title: the device itself is innovative and highly influential, and its line-up of games is not only of exceptionally high quality but, according to raw Metacritic data, superior to any other console in history.If the Nintendo Switch 2 is better than the original Switch it will be something truly extraordinary. If its only half as good, itll still be one of the best video game consoles ever made. The Nintendo Switch 2 isnt going to have trouble attracting a family audience?
