    Why We Need More Game Developers Like CD Projekt RED

    To be fair the game that somewhat recently most impressed me on this issue was Dragon Age: Origins, which ran almost flawlessly across PC, PS, Xbox and MacOS on release day. Quite a feat. But the folks at CD Projekt RED are no doubt excellent. I didn't like the first, and it's unlikely I'll buy...

    Is the Web Browser the Gaming Platform of the Future?

    Holly! We all knew the potential for HTML5. But seeing it in action makes all the difference. Very cool indeed. And here's another approach: NaCIBox, which is an implementation of Google's Native Client. Works only on Chrome for now. Allows us to play DOSBox games on the browser. Browser games...

    MSI GeForce GTX 560 Twin Frozr II Review

    Don't you guys feel just a tad bit annoyed that Nvidia went back to including abstract suffixes in their models?

    Intel's Smart Response; SSD Caching Tested

    Yeah. My problem here is the cost associated with SSDs. If you think I'm currently occupying 500Mb of my 1TB mechanical drive, any SSD solution is expensive at this point. Even assuming I could use a smaller SSD to keep up the operating system and some critical applications, while retaining a...

    Intel's Smart Response; SSD Caching Tested

    Thanks :) I'm thinking more in terms of the process of development as a whole. Not so much, specific tasks directly related to programming. You eventually have some code editor opened, external documentation, auxiliary applications of all sorts, possibly even a local database... essentially we...

    Intel's Smart Response; SSD Caching Tested

    Fantastic technology and would benefit me greatly. I'm a software developer and file access is our bread and butter. Understandably, you didn't include the testing of Visual Studio, but I have no doubts whatsoever SSD caching would fit like a glove on these type of applications. And particularly...
