    CM Storm Trigger Gaming Keyboard Review

    After taking a look at Cooler Master's QuickFire Pro keyboard last month, we walked away knowing that the company knows how to make a quality mechanical offering. Will the Trigger reaffirm that belief? It adds macro support, a palmrest and expands the backlighting to the entire keyboard - so it...

    The Elder Scrolls Online Revealed

    Given Bethesda's history, I can only imagine how buggy this is going to be on launch day. Also, I wonder if a raid boss can be defeated by putting a bucket on its head?

    Who here uses game emulators?

    You got that right! I ended up giving up on the N64 after a time, although current emulators (mupen64plus in particular) are alright. There's still a lot of unsupported games though, including the one I'd want to emulate the most, Donkey Kong 64. How does Project64 compare to mupen? I forgot...

    Wozniak Touts ‘Beautiful’ Windows Phone

    Steve Wozniak doesn't appear to be nearly as ignorant as Steve Jobs was. It does help to recognize the successes of your competitors even if you are dominating.

    nemulator - The Best-Looking NES Emulator... Ever

    One of the most popular targets for emulation developers has been the original NES, or "Nintendo Entertainment System". Throughout the years, I've used most of these, beginning with Nesticle over 10 years ago. There have been some good, some alright, and then some that put a new spin on things...

    NVIDIA Unveils its Ultra High-End GeForce GTX 690

    Last week, we posted about a teaser shot that NVIDIA put on its GeForce Facebook fan page with just enough detail to get the speculation train moving. One of the most popular guesses was that it was the upcoming dual-GPU GTX 690, and sure enough, that was right on the money. Due for release...

    Western Digital Releases 1TB VelociRaptor; 25% Faster than Last-Gen

    I am sooo anxious to begin using a VR 1TB for a Steam drive, just to go long-term with it and see how it compares to the standard 7200 RPM 500GB all my games have been on for a while. I especially want to follow-up to this test I did with Lineage II: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUGPVFcElkI

    Who here uses game emulators?

    As much as I anticipate upcoming blockbusters, there's nothing in gaming that gets me quite as excited as reliving old classics... the games I grew up with and sunk a lot of time into. I recently stumbled-upon a good Sega Dreamcast emulator (I will be doing a write-up soon), and I got to...

    Blizzard to take 15% from player-to-player sales

    I admit that I am not 100% sure how the auction house in Diablo III is going to work, but it seems if a player wants to sell a regular item to another player, Blizzard will take $1 from the sale. For things like stackable items, that fee rises a bit to 15% of the total sale...

    Facebook... an organ donor?

    Alright, not quite, but it seems that the social networking is pushing hard to get more people to consider donating their organs, in case the need arises. If interested, you'll be able to opt into being an organ donor, and also have that fact displayed on your Timeline. Very interesting move by...

    Anyone running Ubuntu 12.04?

    I admit I am a little excited about this release, just because it's an LTS release (long-term support). LTS basically means that the OS has to be as stable as possible, and with the Unity desktop environment never impressing me that much in the past, I'm really anxious to get to testing this...

    Ivy Bridge deep-dive with JJ from ASUS

    Anand recorded a video with ASUS brainiac JJ to talk about Ivy Bridge. It's rather thorough and things are covered that most people won't care about, but it's informative nonetheless (so I've heard, I've yet to take a gander). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOrUyVbNDO4 I'm always in awe...

    Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 Airport Level

    Anyone who has ever played THPS 3 probably holds this level close to their gaming heart. It was mega-challenging, exciting, and well, who doesn't want to skate through an airport? I am not sure I'd want to even know how many hours I spent in this level to be honest... on each console I played...

    Corsair Vengeance M60 FPS Mouse Review

    Corsair impressed us greatly when we took its K60 mechanical keyboard for a test last month, so we were anxious to see if we'd once again be wowed with its M60 "FPS gaming mouse". From a hardware standpoint, the mouse is top-notch, but as we quickly discovered, it takes quality software to round...

    Ridge Racer Unbounded Review

    The wait for the next proper Ridge Racer title has been long, but Unbounded is finally here, and it brings a surprise: it's also for the PC. In this iteration, we're to conquer races in Shatter Bay, build our own tracks, and compete with others online. Oh - and to act like a hurricane to wreck...
