When Bungie decided to leave the Halo universe behind to focus on a brand-new IP, Destiny, many PC gamers held out hope that they’d see the company’s latest epic shooter hit their platform. That of course didn’t happen, and it was a bit frustrating given the fact that the game was supported…..

Are you unable to run a cable straight from a router to the intended device? Is a Wi-Fi connection too unreliable? Powerline Ethernet is able to help in both cases. In this quick article, we’re taking a look at TRENDnet’s TPL-421E2K kit. It couldn’t be any easier to set up, and as we find out, it’s super reliable, to boot.

There are a billion (give or take) rumors surrounding Google right now, but one of the most interesting is the potential debut of its Android + Chrome OS hybrid OS called “Andromeda”. Over the weekend, Hiroshi Lockheimer, the SVP of Android and Chrome OS, took to Twitter to hint that this October…..

It’s been quite the week for security journalist Brian Krebs, but not for great reasons. Well – that can be subjective, as some good is coming out of the unparalleled DDoS attack his website KrebsOnSecurity encountered last week. Let’s rewind a little bit. Earlier this month, Krebs wrote a story about vDOS, an…..

Does Microsoft require its ‘Signature’ PCs to prevent Linux from being used? That’s the insinuation made over at reddit today by user BaronHK. This came about after he was unable to install Linux on his brand-new Lenovo Yoga 900 ultrabook, something he decided to complain about in Best Buy’s review section; a…..

The latest version of Acronis’ popular True Image backup suite has arrived, and as we find out, the 2017 iteration includes a lot of refinement, as well as a slew of new features. Included in those new features is Facebook backup, remote backup management, personal archives, a refreshed Web portal, as well as enhanced NAS detection. Let’s take a look.

You’d think that in 2016, developers would realize that their actions could have consequences, but that doesn’t seem to be the case for those who work at Digital Homicide. This developer has been pushing less-than-stellar games to Steam for a while, and as you’d expect, the reviews reflected that. But apparently, Digital…..

The folks at Rivet Networks have just announced their latest creation: the Killer E2500 Ethernet chip. Just as we’d expect, it’s packed to the gills with new gaming features, continuing to build on a legacy that’s now spanned an entire decade. The Killer E2500 has four major features worth calling out, with…..

Last fall, the future of Mad Catz seemed uncertain. A bankruptcy loomed, but despite that, the company showed up at this year’s CES with a number of products on hand. Not long after, though, our PR contact left his position, adding even more to the uncertainty. Since then, Mad Catz seems to…..

In case it isn’t obvious, home automation is quickly becoming big business. If you want some proof of it, look no further than the fact that a GPU vendor has just entered the market. That vendor is ZOTAC, and its first system, called Cozee, is quite compelling. Cozee consists of three main…..

Can you believe it? It’s already been an entire year since AMD created the Radeon Technologies Group with the goal of establishing itself as the market leader in graphics. Has the company succeeded? That’s impossible to answer given we’re talking about a single year, but it’s not impossible to say that the…..

Logitech has no shortage of peripherals that can be used across multiple devices, but its new K780 wireless keyboard is a bit different: it has a built-in stand. While not entirely new, given the K480 we’ve looked at before has a similar design, the K780 is much more streamlined, and in my…..

The latest entry in the Worms series has arrived. It’s called Worms W.M.D., and while the W.M.D. could stand for a number of things, we know what the game will involve: lots of hilarious violence. W.M.D. is said to be a successor to Worms Armageddon, released in 1999, and for many reasons, that’s a good thing. If you’ve put off playing a Worms game in recent years, this might be the one to break your drought.

If your PC is lacking in color, don’t fret: NZXT’s new Aer RGB LED fans can fix that up in a snap. These fans are not just designed to look good while running; they’re also designed to be efficient, and long-lasting. “RGB LED” seems a little generic at this point, given the…..

It goes without saying that 2016 has been an incredible year for virtual reality, and if one thing’s certain: its momentum is not slowing down. 2016 could also be considered the “year of the VR backpack”, as we’ve seen a huge number of options from vendors the world over. MSI’s latest, though,…..

It’s sometimes hard to choose between one gaming mouse and another when you’re in the market for one. That could even apply to the same vendor; it’s inevitable that multiple models are going to be so similar that figuring out which is actually best (for you) will be a little tedious. Well, that…..

Out of nowhere (or, it was at least unknown to me), NVIDIA released a brand-new version of its GeForce Experience application yesterday. This isn’t just some standard update: it’s a complete overhaul, a “building from the ground up”. For that reason, it’s also been given a new major version number: 3.0. I’ve…..

After months and months of waiting, Sony unveiled its newest, “highest-end” PlayStation 4 this week, the PS4 Pro. This launch proved that the rumor mill can be scarily accurate sometimes, but even so, there’s proven to be a lot to take away from the announcement. Most of it is good, but some of it is bad. And then we have the downright baffling. As you’d expect, we cover all of that here.

The long-awaited DirectX 12 patch for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has arrived, and as much as I hate to admit it, it couldn’t be more underwhelming. The lone DX12 feature included here is the fact that the API is supported; that means performance might be improved in some cases, but the visuals…..

When NVIDIA first unveiled its VR Funhouse game at the launch of its first Pascal-based GeForce graphics cards, few people probably realized the amount of support the company would be putting behind it. For starters, the game is free and also quite good. What wasn’t obvious at first is that NVIDIA would be…..
