    CM Storm Trigger Gaming Keyboard Review

    Our review has been updated. We discovered that our sample did in fact have a flaw, and have retroactively awarded it an Editor's Choice. It's unfortunate that things played out this way, but as mentioned in our new conclusion, these things can happen - not just to reviewers, but end-consumers also.

    A Look at Steam's Hardware Survey for May 2012

    In the past, we've taken a look at the latest hardware statistics of PC gamers with the help of Valve's Steam platform, and going forward, I'd like to begin doing that monthly. Steam is currently the largest digital provider of PC games, and as such, its hardware survey provides the most...

    Diablo 3 coming to consoles?

    I couldn't agree more with Kayden. /enters the circle of compliments that never ends

    hicookie First to Reach 7GHz on a Core i7-3770K

    I could be way off here, but I wouldn't imagine that ES parts, or "cherry picked" parts, are that special. It's not as though Intel or AMD run a special production with a tweaked recipe. These are the same chips that just happened to go through some internal OCers hands to make sure that it was...

    Verizon to Soon Offer 300Mbit/s Internet Service

    I am about the same. I believe it's $65 (lower because of a bundle plan) for 15/2 - though due to the sub-par wiring, I get 14/1.

    Sapphire - Win A Compter That's So Messed Up I Won't Even Enter

    That still doesn't change that it's one of the ugliest chassis in existence ;-)

    A Technical Look at Max Payne 3

    With Max Payne 3 reviewed, how about we take a look at the game from a technical perspective? Wondering what the game brings to the tessellation table? How FXAA compares to MSAA? Whether HDAO is really worth the performance hit? We tackle all these questions and more, so read on. Read through...

    Euro 2012

    Spain and Italy tied and Croatia dominated Ireland! This competition is so good so far.

    Apple receives yet another broad patent

    I am so glad this doesn't affect french fries. I <3 wedges.

    Euro 2012

    Who else is watching Euro 2012? So far the competition has been quite good, and despite there having been just four games played, there's been a couple of upsets (I sure didn't expect either Portugal or Netherlands to lose to their competition). I don't have cable, so I'm fortunate that TSN...

    Apple receives yet another broad patent

    There's no sense even commenting on this one. http://ultrabooknews.com/2012/06/07/apple-receives-broad-patent-for-wedge-design/

    A Quick Look at Mandriva 2011

    Hmm, that's a little bizarre. I can't say that I've tried to format a drive that large from the installer, but I've used Gparted for them just fine (I boot up with Ubuntu to do that, before installation, for whatever reason). That aside, at this point I consider Mandriva a distro to avoid...

    When 'Free-to-Play' Becomes a Money Game

    How long ago was this? It sounds like it was a precursor to the explosion of F2P games.

    Isn't it About Time We Move to 48 FPS+ Video?

    Yup, looks like we're all in agreement on that. As for 60 FPS porn... nah, I better not.

    You and me both. And they have the gall to insult PC gamers!

    I don't even...

    As an owner of three cats, I couldn't imagine doing this to one of them after they passed. I mean... what... the... hell. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2154283/Cats-away-Artist-turns-dead-pet-flying-helicopter-killed-car.html?ITO=1490 I still couldn't help but laugh when watching...

    Max Payne 3 Review

    I admit I can't find the polygonal character you're speaking about, but the issue in the last image on page 3 is rather blatant. It wasn't noticeable in-game due to it being a very hectic situation. Even so... this modeler / designer had to have been lazy. There's just no excuse for the...

    When 'Free-to-Play' Becomes a Money Game

    Thanks a lot for the nice comments, Darkaurora! In a perfect world, that's just how it'd be. Valve has proven that that sort of F2P mechanic works... so much so that it's even going to be making Dota 2, a brand-new game, follow the same mechanic. This is what I'm wondering, and I guess...

    Max Payne 3 Review

    After a long hiatus, the infamous Max Payne is finally back. But before you think he's been living the good-life since the last time we checked in, think again. Beaten down and lacking any feeling of self-worth, we continue the Payne saga by getting an honest job protecting a wealthy family...

    Diablo 3 coming to consoles?

    Oh geez, there is no way on earth I could play a game like that on a console... none. Games like these are made for a keyboard + mouse. I think it'd get real tedious after a while with a gamepad. On a side note, does the PC version support a gamepad?
