    Angry Birds Coming to Consoles Next Year

    7 million at a buck a piece for a game that no doubt took little more than a month to develop. I'm in the wrong business.

    Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 Toxic

    The thing is... I don't want to add even <em>more</em> text because we'll end up with a cluttered and unattractive chart. The more I think about it, the more I'm apt to just remove the vendor name, because I realized something. Unregistered (and probably others) might have looked at...

    Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 Toxic

    If that's the case, we'll have to reconsider including the vendor names at all. I keep them there as a way to give credit where it's due, since we appreciate the support of these companies. It might be a better idea to leave all reference-clocked cards without a branding, and instead mention the...

    Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 Toxic

    Ugh, I'll fix that soon, thanks for pointing it out. I might be overlooking something, but where is an overclocked model, such as the FTW, mentioned in the article? We don't include the results of overclocked cards in our charts. If we happen to use a card that comes pre-overclocked...

    RIP Leslie Nielsen

    Leslie Nielsen is one of the funniest men who has ever lived. I just watched Airplane! and all three Naked Gun movies a couple of months ago... they never get old! http://www.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/Movies/11/29/obit.leslie.nielsen/index.html "Stop calling me Shirley!" RIP

    Angry Birds Coming to Consoles Next Year

    Ask anyone who games on their mobile phone what titles they play, or wish they could play, and chances are good that Angry Birds is going to be mentioned. I have three iPhone-equipped friends who can't get enough of this game, and I admit I've sunk a good couple of hours into it as well. Similar...

    Super Talent Touts 370MB/s on USB 3.0 RAIDDrive

    Launched last fall, the USB 3.0 standard has proven to be a godsend for those who use external storage devices on a regular basis, as compared to 2.0, there's just no competition. You might be lucky to see 30MB/s speeds with 2.0, for example, while 3.0 blows the doors wide open to deliver speeds...

    Tt eSPORTS Challenger Pro Gaming Keyboard

    The "professional gaming" market is filled with some first-rate competition, but Thermaltake believes it can deliver some of the best offerings out there. To help prove it, it's even created a unique brand, called "Tt eSPORTS". Let's take a look at one of the first products to fall under that...

    NZXT LED light ropes

    Thanks for the review, TD :D I love the look of the product, but you make a couple of good points about its downsides. I do kind of wonder how difficult it'd be for NZXT to create a similar product, but have a larger PCB and enable detachable LED cables. You could use up to four I'd reckon per...

    Last day of Steam deals...

    This is one of the reasons Steam can kick so much ass. You could game for quiet a while on a reasonable budget, that's for sure :D

    Call of Duty: Black Ops Breaks Sales Records

    Prior to the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops earlier this month, it was anticipated that the game could break records - not only those set by previous releases in the series, but records across all publishers and platforms. A mere week after its launch, it was clear that the game would be...

    Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 Toxic

    AMD's Radeon HD 6850 is one of the more attractive mid-range offerings on the market right now, and Sapphire hopes to lure potential buyers in even closer with the help of its "Toxic" edition. It features a customized cooler that runs quiet and keeps temps low, and also cranks up reference...

    What 90's FPS Titles Would You Like to See Remade?

    Sometimes that's true, but it depends. The problem is that some companies go in wanting to make a game that stays true to the original, but at the same time want to change minor things to make it appeal to a greater audience. No doubt that's a tough thing to manage.

    Direct2Drive Offers Gamers a 20% Chance to Win their Purchase

    In the world of digital game sales, Valve's Steam platform is undeniably the current champion, and for most people I know, it's the first choice for their purchases. But, there exist other services that have been around almost just as long - Direct2Drive being one of them. No doubt feeling the...

    Should Microsoft Ban Gamers for Using Offensive Emblems on Xbox Live?

    To remain an active member of Xbox Live, you must adhere to the ground rules laid out by Microsoft. One of the more important ones concerns being respectful to other members, and if you are equipping your avatar with offensive emblems, such as a swastika, you might not only find yourself booted...

    Intel CPU Architecture 'Could Scale to 1,000 Cores'

    Ten years ago, the thought of a dual-core CPU didn't quite compute (pun intended) in our minds, because such products simply didn't exist. But today, multi-core processors are common in even the simplest of mobile devices, and on our desktops, some are lucky enough to have six cores at their...
