Right on schedule, Nintendo announced its Wii successor at E3, named 'Wii U'. Whereas most console announcements have discussions more about the console itself rather than the controller, the opposite is true here. The controller, as recent rumors have predicted, features a large touch screen...

Things were a lot different in the computer market when Techgage first came to be in March of 2005. At the time, AMD totally dominated the processor market for enthusiasts, and its "FX" processors were the parts that everybody wanted. But with prices hovering around the $1,000 mark, only a...

Sony, at E3, finally took the veil off of its PlayStation Portable replacement, called 'Vita' ('Life' in Latin). It looks like a PSP, and for the most part acts like a PSP, though things are being taken to the next progressive level. Expect a touchscreen, dual analog sticks, multi-touch pads...

With Apple's major announcements at WWDC, one might imagine that it'd be OS X 'Lion' or iOS 5 to receive the most attention, but at Apple's homepage, neither of those are at the forefront. Rather, that privilege belongs to 'iCloud', Apple's long-awaited cloud-based storage service. While...

Apple introduced a lot of software at its ongoing WWDC conference that gives fans reason to be excited, but for desktop users, it's OS X Lion that's proven to be the most interesting. Like Snow Leopard, Lion's upgrade price is set to $29.99, and as such, the OS is more of an upgrade that's...

It has sure taken a while to get off the ground, but Sony has finally launched its 'Welcome Back' program, which awards both PS3 and PSP owners a choice of two free games; five to choose from on the PS3 side and four on the PSP side. For owners of both, a total of four games can be claimed...

At their release, Logitech's X-540 5.1 speakers were a hit, thanks to their affordable price and feature-set. In fact, our review from five years ago is still regularly read today. So what about their successor, the Z506? Carrying the same $99 price tag, does Logitech once again give us an...

To help make up for the lack of a proper EFI solution, GIGABYTE has given its Z68 users what it touts as being a "Hybrid EFI" - or in non-marketing speak, a piece of Windows software for interfacing with an old-school BIOS. We take TouchBIOS for a spin and see if it has what it takes to become a...

In a showing that's sure to make the performance of our desktop SSDs look inadequate, OCZ took advantage of the ongoing Computex event to show off one of its configurations that sets a new performance record. How does 1.5 million read IOPS sound? Or 1 million write IOPS? That's right...

After being left so impressed with Corsair's Obsidian 650D chassis last month, we couldn't wait to take the company's Special Edition White Graphite 600T for a spin to see if it could match or surpass our expectations. Though similar in design to the original, the SE White has a couple of...

ASUS isn't the only company showing off product at Computex that likes to combine things, it seems. OCZ, a company with a knack of doing some innovative things with solid-state storage, has done it once again with its 'RevoDrive Hybrid'. What could possibly be combined with an SSD, you ask...

If there's one thing we learned about ASUS at CES in January, it's that the company loves combining one gadget with another, offering unparalleled flexibility. At the Computex show in Taipei, Taiwan, the company furthered that fact with its announcement of "Padfone" - a device with a simple...

I've been a PC and console gamer all my life, kicking things off with a 286 and monochrome display for one, and the Nintendo Entertainment System for the other. In all these years of juggling both, I rarely used one platform's peripherals on the other. Sometimes it's due to laziness, other...

Aiming to provide mobile gamers with the best performance possible for the latest games, NVIDIA took advantage of the ongoing Computex show in Taipei, Taiwan, to announce its fastest 500-series mobile GPU to date, the GeForce GTX 560M. At the same time, the company announced another new...

For those who have been waiting for the next great racer either on a console or the PC, Dirt 3's release last week was a welcomed one. Even more so after the reviews started pouring in with ratings averaging 90%. I was a little slow on the uptake to take the game for a test drive, but did...

In a bit of news that even Linux geeks will have a hard time getting excited over, Linus Torvalds has confirmed that the next release of the Linux kernel will be called 3.0. It didn't take long after 2.6.39's release when Linus began juggling the idea of calling the next release 3.0, and it...

We've been a little short on motherboard content lately, so to kick things back into action we're taking a look at four P67-based motherboards at once - all benchmarked using our newly revised test suite. The boards we're looking at are the ASUS P8P67 Deluxe, GIGABYTE P67A-UD4, Intel DP67BG and...

As the title suggests: http://store.steampowered.com/app/33420/ On a side note, has anyone here played this series much? I've been tempted on occasion to give both games an honest go, but I never end up doing it. And I have played the first couple of hours for each, but for some reason had...

Dust off those faded, sun-damaged, dog-chewed Duke Nukem Forever pre-order receipts from 15 years ago, because hell has finally started to freeze-over, for under the mighty power of golden god rays from a halogen lamp, the press-ready disc has been conceived. What am I on about? Duke Nukem...

A couple of weeks ago, Activision released a <em>couple of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3</em> "trailers", that to me, were not too big of a deal. Alright... I drooled all over myself. <em>But</em>, because the trailers didn't show much in way of gameplay, aka: nothing at all, I decided to hold...
