It's not often I get to play a game from a studio that lists it as its only game, but I do have that pleasure with Endless Space, a complex 4X from Amplitude Studios. As the title suggests, the game takes place in space, and the options for victory are many. Read on as we evaluate whether...

I admit that Google's Nexus 7 has intrigued me quite a bit, because it might be the first tablet ever that can put Android on the map for a lot of people. Sure, there's been the Amazon Kindle Fire and some other $200 tablets, but all of those had strict limitations. Google's tablet is Android...

ESPN has once again made a list of the top ten most valuable sports teams, and no surprise, Manchester United tops the list. You might recall that I posted the same list back in 2009, so let's see how things have changed (note that one is in USD, the other in British pounds)...

As the title asks, does anyone here use any software that's used to "optimize" your Windows PC? CCleaner is one example, though there are other solutions that take things a bit further, such as Iolo's System Mechanic and Uniblue's PowerSuite and I'm sure a bunch of others. Uniblue sent us a...

DiRT Showdown. The game asked me to sign up for Racenet in order to get a free $20,000 in-game, and since I'm a sucker for that kind of thing, I went ahead and tried. Problem is, I get an error telling me that Deathspawner is not available as a nickname. Thinking that "Death" might be the...

I am not sure who here might have belonged to this forum, but given that there were over 1m users, there's definitely a chance. From Slashdot: "Phandroid's AndroidForums.com has been hacked. The database that powers the site was compromised and more than one million user account details were...

Got this e-mail earlier: Dear NVIDIA Forum User, We suspended operations of the NVIDIA Forums last week in response to suspicious activity and immediately began an investigation. We apologize that our continuing investigation is taking this long. Know that we are working around the clock...

Need big storage on the go, but refuse to lug about a full-sized hard drive enclosure? If the term "2TB" sound good to you, then Western Digital's got you covered. The company recently updated its My Passport line to include the beefiest storage possible in such a small enclosure, so join us as...

With less than 7 days left before we give away an RevoDrive Hybrid 1TB PCIEx SSD by OCZ, an Glacier 900W 80 Plus Gold Power Supply by In-Win and a Silver Arrow SB-E CPU Cooler by Thermalright the only real question is whether or not you have already joined our Global contest...

GOG is selling Alan Wake and its DLC American Nightmare for about half of what Steam is charging, and will go even lower if you purchase them together. http://www.gog.com/en/promo/alan_wake_series_gem_promo/ Separate Alan Wake: $14.99 American Nightmare: $7.49 Together Alan Wake...

Having released audio-video hard drives in the past (dubbed "AV"), I've long wondered if Western Digital would release a series targeted at one of the most thriving storage markets out there: network-attached storage. Lo and behold, it's happened, making me wish I had jotted that thought down to...

In a bit of unfortunate news for users of the Thunderbird e-mail client, a leaked Mozilla e-mail has revealed that innovation support for the project will soon cease. This decision was made due to the fact that Mozilla wants the bulk of its focus to be elsewhere, such as with a Firefox OS (or...

The next couple of months are going to be great for classic game re-releases, and if you were a big fan of either the Sega Saturn, Dreamcast or Sony PlayStation, you're going to have reason to get excited. A game I am stuper-stoked for, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD, is set to hit Xbox Live on July...

Valve, regular innovators where digital game distribution is concerned, has just announced "Greenlight", a new community-based effort on Steam that will see gamers choose which titles get released through the service. According to Valve, the internal greenlight group has always had a hard time...
