When you hit Vegas, make sure to stop by the Gun Runners, it can be a real hell hole so make sure you're armed. Also, if you bump into a guy called Benny in one of the casino's wearing a smart stripy suit, kick him in the nutts since he stole a platinum poker chip from me... Plus watch out for...

Assassin's Creed II, released last spring, was greeted to rave reviews. It improved upon the original in important ways, delivered fun and exhilarating gameplay, and had graphics and sound to back all of it up. Despite all this, I posted not long after the game's launch encouraging people to not...

I get it drilled into me all the time about good design, testing code while you write it. Writing the test procedures while you write the code. Devs should test their own code... and PROPER DOCUMENTATION!!! Meeting the requirements, is a bug with the code or with the design... proper use of...

Can't put a PS3 game in a PS2 or One and expect it to work... same goes for PCs... the problem is that there is no 'fixed generation' separation with PCs, it's a totally organic system. Just because you have Blu-Ray and a quad core, doesn't mean you can play games. You can have a Pentium 4 and a...

If it were an MMO, would they go the grand environment route, everyone for themselves, the classic MMO stance like WoW, Lineage 2, etc... or the instanced route with lobbies, Raid Parties and such like with dungeon runs and Phantasy Star Online/Universe? It could so easily be balls'd up though...

Bugs and glitches in video games are nothing new, but lately it seems as if more and more games are being released without the proper amount of quality assurance. Whether the developer is rushing the game to market to cash in on a prime shopping season or if the are under another type deadline...

Duke Nukem Forever... the butt of a billion jokes, and the biggest cause of grief for Duke fans. This game is unlike most others, because its development cycle has been at points, bizarre. It began in 1997, and has crossed the paths of multiple developers, with the most recent one being Gearbox...

Intel last week made an SSD announcement that few were expecting, and even if we had to guess as to what the product would be, I think most of us would be wrong. The "Intel SSD 310" is not like most other SSDs we've become used to, as it's of a much smaller form-factor. Standard SSDs are sized...

Yeah, it does seem like a manufacturing standards limit rather than a consumer based, e.g. prevent less reputable manufacturers from producing 6pin connectors with 150Watt limits using thin wire and having them burn out. Checking the ATX standard, it mentions nothing about wire thickness, so...

BitTorrent is slowly gaining a ubiquitous status as the go to protocol for downloads. A thorn in its side has been its reliance on a central tracker, which if taken down would result in peers being unable to connect to each other. Moving along a few years and the Distributed Hash Table or DHT...

Oh, i know... LucidLogix Hydra multi GPU stuff, see how it's coming along.

Awww, no AMD laptop luvin? The fusion sort?

Civilization 5 and Falloutout New Vegas, both require steam to play. Buying the disc just means you don't have to download several GB of data, though any DLC still needs to be activated via the corrosponding publisher sites. You have to create a steam account if you don't have one to play the...

Hardware enthusiasts are always on the look out for ways of getting something for nothing or expanding the use from a given piece of equipment. Overclocking, soft-modding, anything goes for squeezing those precious few flops or frames out of their hardware, or making it perform like a much more...

Wasn't just the USA they spammed... UK got hit pretty hard as well, walking into newsagents and supermarkets, those damn discs were everywhere, in giant boxes, on the front, back, or both sides of magazines... persuading people to get online with them. Funny thing is, most people didn't even...

Resident Evil 5... your bro doesn't like zombies? Well good news! They ain't Zombies! These guys run, shoot, and have rather large external appendages sometimes with the odd hideous mutation... but they're not zombies! RE5 was made for co-op... since they made the AI so dumb...

Also, don't worry about the 4x slot limit on the second card, it makes very little real difference to the total frame rate (runs at 97% of maximum), on single GPU solutions. It's only first generation PCIe that will prove to be a bottleneck, PCIe 2.0 won't. Dual GPU single slot cards are a...

Kind of irritating, bought The Witcher at 50% off 2 days ago... and it's now 75% off... go figure.

I also picked up the GOTY edition... such fun days. Also picked up The Witcher: EE and a few others. Crazy deals... Was considering the Dragon Age ultimate collection, but read about all the hassle with getting keys, register with Bioware, activating and then finally playing the damn game, i...

I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole... realtek NIC's have a habit of failing... Just ask me or Rob and we can chew your ear off with the number of 'issues' that can arise from them.
