When StarCraft II saw its release late last month, it might have became the most expensive game ever produced - costing over $100 million from start to finish. That's on par with some of Hollywood's biggest blockbusters, and StarCraft II sure isn't alone in this category. Grand Theft Auto IV...

Are you an aspiring game developer, or simply want to see what developing a game is like? Well, thanks to a competition called Ludum Dare, you can see many such examples. You see, the primary rule for the competition is that you build a game from scratch in 48 hours, and for an entry to be...

See that ATI logo at the bottom of this post? Well, get your fill now, because pretty soon, those bubbly three letters are going to be replaced with "AMD" or perhaps even nothing at all. That's right, after more than four years since its acquisition of one of the last Canadian companies I could...

One of the big hurdles for Eyefinity adopters-to-be has been the expensive "active" DisplayPort adapters required for some setups. Last week, though, AMD let us know that it's been working with companies to help deliver $30 DisplayPort to DVI cables to the market. At the same time, the company...

Our review of Mafia II was published earlier this week, but thanks to the fact that all we had accessible up until launch was a preview build, the performance testing had to wait. Well, that's now all done, so if you're looking to see which GPU will serve you best for some hardcore Mafia action...

Earlier this month, we talked briefly about Valve's Steam client for the Mac, and what it's going to mean for Mac games in the year or two ahead. The source of the information came from a detailed interview with the company at GamesIndustry, and last week, the second and final part of it was...

In a sequel that's taken eight years to see its release, Mafia II looks to give fans of the series copious amounts of what they love. As we've discovered, the game features a compelling story, fantastic acting, a vibrant city, and many movie-like moments. If you're a fan of the Mafia genre, this...

For the sake of the environment, hybrid and fully electric cars are a good thing. The cost up-front is higher, but down the road (no pun), it could save you money, and likewise have a minimal impact on the environment. But there is just one problem... the lack of noise. It might not seem like a...

The fact that technology has become a major part of our lives can't be argued, and for a lot of people, there are few instances in a single day when we're not connected. A major exception might be while in the shower, and for some, even that's not the case, with computers being built right into...

Thanks for such a detailed look at Lightroom, Brett. I've been using the program on and off for a while, and have obviously been benchmarking with it ever since the original version, but I've never taken it too seriously, or delved in to far. Reading your look on things clears some things up for...

Despite some of the issues this thing might have... the sheer speed it offers makes it hard for me to look away. I can just imagine how smooth this could make any OS... tempting. I do wish that a "secure erase" tool was available now though, that would make the purchasing decision a whole lot...

Last week, I mentioned an MMO I play called Lineage II, and in that post, I also mentioned that it has the worst level grind of any game I've ever played. So it's with some coincidence that a couple of days later, news of a lawsuit surfaced where one US-based gamer is suing the game's developer...

Looking to upgrade your PC with a fast SSD? How fast do you want it? If you answered "ultra fast", then OCZ's RevoDrive is worth a look. With read speeds of 500MB/s and beyond, a PCI Express interface, and a modest price premium, this SSD is hard to ignore. We're on the bleeding-edge here...

Earlier this year, a hacker was successful in breaking through the necessary walls that Sony had put in place on the PS3, and stated that it would be possible to play backups of your games, and do other fun things. While many were impressed with this feat, Sony clearly wasn't. Merely two months...

To some, a keyboard is a keyboard. But for those who care a lot about precision and comfort, even two keyboards that look quite similar might feel entirely different after long-term use. There's a reason that there still exist devout fans of old IBM keyboards that make loud clicking noises which...

Intel is a company that acquires many other companies, and more often than not, the reasons for these acquisitions are obvious to pretty well anyone who chooses to read into them. But yesterday, the company made an acquisition that has many scratching their heads... McAfee. Considering that...

Well, there's our proof that this video can get you high!

To produce top-rate photos, more is needed than just a camera and lens. You need tailored software that's designed for post-processing raw camera images, and no, not Photoshop. Rather, Photoshop Lightroom, software that gives you utmost control over your photos. We're taking a look at the...

I am using the latest firmware (1.17)... I believe that the same is available for the R1. Your problem is a little strange... I'm not quite sure why something would work on one NAS box and not the other. This is the first media player I've reviewed, but I have more en route (and a WD Live here)...

In January of last year, Microsoft made some rather harsh cuts to its Flight Simulator team, and naturally, fans of the series began to wonder if a proper follow-up would ever be made. As far as flight sims go, there are many out there, but Flight Simulator had an obvious backing that other game...
