Portable gaming is not a new idea and one that Nintendo, Sony and to a lesser extent Sega have all found success with. Razer hopes to cash in on the mobile gaming market but in a different way, and is set to break the mould with a truly innovative product that it unveiled early for this year's...

If there's a debate I love to get involved in, it's the PC vs. Console FPS gamers one. As a devout PC gamer, I've come to prefer a mouse + keyboard configuration much more than the gamepad solution that console gamers have become accustomed. I've tried to get used to a gamepad, but I can't...

We all have like a bazillion humerus videos as fav links and downloads... so it's time to share them. Well what are are you waiting for? Start posting!! Oh that's right... ball rolling and all that... <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie"...

Samsung, the number 2 sales leader of semiconductors in the world from 2002 to 2009 (excluding foundries), has always been at the forefront of the DRAM market, and it's starting off 2011 in a big way. In a press release, it announced that it had completed development of its first DDR4 DRAM based...

Not one to shy away from combining the best of both worlds, ASRock is at it again striking a blow for budget conscious users everywhere! Some of you may remember its earlier LGA775 offerings which combined AGP and PCI-E slots, along with the ability to use DDR2 or DDR3 memory on the same...

Utilizing a reliable DNS (domain name server) is important, because it can result in either great speeds on the Internet, or speeds that bring us back to the modem age. For this reason, a lot of people decide to opt out of the DNS their ISP offers, and instead adopt the one that Google provides...

Maths, easy for some, hard for others. For CPUs, it's their bread and butter, what they are meant to do and how they earn their living... if they were alive of course. But sometimes, you don't need to calculate the square root of 2,376,147 to within 3 million decimal places. Sometimes you don't...

As evidenced throughout 2010, "3D" is a rather big thing. Countless Hollywood productions featured 3D versions, and the same can be said for PC and console games. In talking to many people about it over the past year, many of them seem to enjoy the 3D aspect, and would easily prefer 3D over...

Computers are found in more homes and businesses than ever before and have become such a large part of daily life that they are often forgotten about until they become unavailable. I personally like to refer to this as the golden age of computing, simply because of the level of accessibility...

We all know it happens and some of us are even guilty of it, but have you ever wondered just how many times a game is illegally downloaded? 2010 wraps up with Black Ops (PC) leading the way followed by Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) and Dante's Inferno (XBox 360) as the front runners for each...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Damn it... why do they have to go and get me all excited now... and why is Big Ben at the centre of an alien invasion and half destroyed...... again.... <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qZGFjBmD41Q?fs=1&amp;hl=en_GB"></param><param...

Steam, where one can buy $150 of games for $30... been keeping an eye on the deals the last few days, missed the first round, but oh well. Picked up the Original Deus Ex couple days ago. Just so you all know, last day of deals includes Burnout Paradise, Warhammer 40k Dawn of War 2 Gold, the...

Cloud based gaming, not up there with the faries but a large collection of servers offering up interactive games over the internet with minimal local processing. OnLive has been stirring up quite a bit of interest over the last couple years with an interesting take on playing games. Instead of...
