CM Storm QuickFire Rapid Gaming Keyboard Review
Written by Ryan Perry on January 25, 2012 in Gaming PeripheralsCM's QuickFire Rapid gaming keyboard is unlike any other. It's not flashy, it doesn't have a bunch of bright LEDs, it has no macro support and... it has no numpad. So what is it that sets it apart? Its sturdy design and use of CHERRY MX blue mechanical key switches. Let's see if those features make up for what's lacking.
Q.U.B.E. Review - It's No Portal
Written by Jamie Fletcher on January 23, 2012 in GamingIt's easy to compare Q.U.B.E. to Portal at a quick glance, but in reality it's a much different game. The main focus is on puzzle-solving, but the puzzles here are solved by manipulating blocks in order to achieve some objective to open the door at the end. And in terms of sheer difficulty, Q.U.B.E. takes the cake.

Facebook: Real Profiles vs. Fake Profiles
I'm sure it'd come as a surprise to almost no one that a countless number of Facebook profiles are fake, but to help put things into perspective, the folks over at Barracuda Networks did some research to see just how bad the problem has become. The company has also put together a simple infographic that might be worth "sharing"...
Original Everquest Taking the Free-to-Play Route
A popular trend happening with MMO gaming today is to either launch a title as free-to-play (F2P) from the get go, and to transition a failing pay-to-play into a free-to-play one. The latter fate struck one of my favoriteMMORPGs this past December, Lineage II, and it's certainly not alone. In recent months, both Star Trek...
