Nintendo Baits Players With The Console Formally Known As NX: Nintendo Switch

After months and months of rabid anticipation, Nintendo has finally unveiled its NX – or rather, “Switch”. As has been anticipated, Switch is a hybrid console; it’s meant to be both played at home in front of the TV, and on-the-go. With Nintendo giving us a truly on-the-go portable gaming system, it…..

Shadow Warrior 2 Releases Today With Two Cutting-edge Graphical Features

It’s interesting that in the same week in which Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary gets released, a new Shadow Warrior title shows up as well. Why is that interesting? It’s because one year after Duke 3D came out (1997), its engine was used to build what’s in effect an “Asian Duke Nukem”,…..

Are You A Gamer Security Buff? Tt eSPORTS’ Latest Gaming Mouse Might Be For You

It’s interesting that while finger print readers are far from a “new” technology, we still don’t see them used all too often in tech products – despite their beneficial uses. Sure, we have some packed into some modern smartphones, but they’re largely exclusive to $400+ models. We also see them featured on…..

ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Strix Graphics Card Review

We discovered a couple of months ago that NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 1060 delivers excellent 1080p performance and admirable 1440p performance, so what happens when ASUS straps on an even larger cooler and gives the card an overclock? Well, we get the Strix, an LED-equipped beast of a card that runs cool and quiet.

Yahoo Makes It Harder To Escape Its Service By Disabling Automatic Email Forwarding Feature

If you thought that it couldn’t possibly get even worse or weirder for Yahoo, think again. We offered a summary a couple of days ago of what’s been going down, from massive security breaches being kept a secret to the company caving in and catering to government intelligence agencies. Given all this…..

Samsung Halts Galaxy Note7 Production, Urges Customers To ‘Take Advantage Of Remedies Available’

Following a few weeks of reports of replacement Galaxy Note7 smartphones catching fire, Samsung has done the inevitable and requested that global retailers stop selling and replacing the model, while it ceases all production and while “further investigation takes place”.

ASUS’ XG-U2008 Switch Helps Make 10Gbps Networks More Affordable

One of the constant thorns in my side in computing over the past couple of years has been the fact that 10Gbps Ethernet is still not common in the home. Heck – its use could barely be measured, simply because 10Gbps gear costs so much. In effect, if you happen to enjoy a…..

AMD Furthers Its “VR For The Masses” Push With New $499 VR-Ready Gaming PC

It’s Just Been Proven That Yahoo Cannot Be Trusted With Your Data

It feels like things couldn’t get much worse for Yahoo at this point. Its first major problem is obvious: it failed to improve its revenue situation, and had to become open to takeover deals. Verizon swooped in, willing to snap the company up for $4.8 billion – which almost seems like a…..

We received a bit of marketing from EVGA this morning that told us that anyone purchasing a new 10-series graphics card from the company would receive a PowerLink free-of-charge. Our first reaction? “What in the heck is PowerLink?” The answer: something long, long overdue. PowerLink, seen above, is a simple device that…..

Ubisoft Continues To Pile On The Praise For Nintendo’s Upcoming NX Console

With Nintendo’s NX console expected to launch this spring, it’s hard to believe that we still know so little about it. We do know that it’s going to be “interesting”, because all Nintendo livingroom consoles are, but whether or not that interesting equates to “awesome” is something that’s yet to be seen.…..

No Man’s Sky Being Investigated For Inaccurate Marketing

So, it’s come to this. It’s no secret that the launch of No Man’s Sky was less-than-ideal. For starters, it took longer to land than it should have, and when it did, it was missing a lot of functionality that fans expected. Some blame other fans for building up hype for non-existent…..
