    Half-Life 2: Episode Two

    What's the problem, exactly? Is the drop-down menu for changing the aspect ratio not there, or does the game error when loaded in a widescreen resolution? The game is based on the same engine that we've been using for three years, so I am unsure why a problem like this would suddenly pop up...

    Razer Mako

    Yeah, Razer is not being that clear about this. It seems like samples will be available "very soon", but there still doesn't seem to be a solid release date.

    OCZ Announces First Intel Extreme Modules

    Like EPP, I don't think XMP will list the settings in the BIOS, but instead, I believe that the tuning utility in Windows will show all of that. This will be dependent on the motherboard provider though. Intel is not releasing that software to the public because it requires perfect operation...

    Why No Half-Life 2 On Mac?

    From our front-page news: Why don't we see more Mac games? Heck, Linux games? Of course we are talking about commercial games here, such as Half-Life 2.

    Amiga OS5 To Best Mac OS X

    From our front-page news: I'm not a fan of OS X, but there is no denying that many people are. To make a statement that your upcoming OS is going to best OS X... it's huge. That's what president Bill McEwen said in an older interview, but a more recent interview shows that nothing has changed. I...

    Top 8 Vista Annoyances

    That in no way is Vista-exclusive. I have that problem with XP all the time. That is, if you are referring to how the folders change the views of the files you are looking at (thumbnail view, slideshow view, etc). It's annoying though, I'll give you that.
