Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cut Out on October 22 – Why It’s Worth Getting

Posted on October 16, 2013 9:00 AM by Rob Williams

Given the fact that Deus Ex: Human Revolution hit the streets in the fall of 2011, it might seem a little unusual that it gets a piece of DLC two year’s later, but I’m going to tell you something: It’s even weirder that we have the Wii U to thank. Yes, really.…..

AMD Radeon R9 270X Graphics Card Review

Posted on October 15, 2013 10:00 PM by Techgage Staff

We took AMD’s $300 Radeon R9 280X for a spin last week and were left quite impressed overall with the results, versus the GTX 760. Will we get the same sort of reaction with the company’s Radeon R9 270X? With the help of NVIDIA’s ~$175 GeForce GTX 660, we’re going to find…..

Former Valve Employees Take to Kickstarter to Fund castAR Glasses

Posted on October 14, 2013 4:41 PM by Rob Williams

We talked a bit about ‘castAR’ earlier this year, when it became known that two former Valve employees were given free rein with the project after being laid-off, and now, we’re being given the opportunity to help fund the project. Not surprisingly, Kickstarter is being used as the funding platform, and what…..

Canadian Government Pushes Cable Providers to Unbundle Channels

Posted on October 14, 2013 3:13 PM by Rob Williams

Well, it’s about time. The Canadian government might soon force cable and satellite TV providers to “unbundle” their offerings, in effect allowing consumers to pick and choose the channels they want. “We don’t think it’s right for Canadians to have to pay for bundled television channels that they don’t watch.” Who can…..

If the launch of WD’s Sentinel NAS servers didn’t do enough to excite you, maybe this next announcement will: Updated Black 3.5″ models. If you’re of the mind that mechanical storage simply can’t get much better, WD wants you to take those SSD goggles off and listen to what it has to…..

Posted on October 10, 2013 10:21 AM by Rob Williams

WD has today added a couple of new models to its Sentinel line of business NAS servers; brace yourselves: These are beasts. The Sentinel models of old featured Intel’s Atom SoC under the hood, up to 4GB of RAM and came either in a “pedestal” or 1U form-factor. For the most part, the…..

Thermaltake Commander F5 Fan Controller Review

Posted on October 10, 2013 8:00 AM by Techgage Staff

A fan controller is an interesting piece of optional equipment. Strictly speaking, most people don’t really need one, but some prefer to have full control over their fans and also the possibility of eking a bit more performance out of them. Thermaltake’s Commander F5 aims to deliver on both fronts here, and…..

AMD Radeon R9 280X Graphics Card Review

Posted on October 8, 2013 9:00 PM by Techgage Staff

Most next-gen GPU launches are a simple affair: Launch one model, then another, and then another. AMD’s latest series is a bit different. In advance of its forthcoming flagship R9 290X, the company decided to push all of its mainstream parts off of the truck at once. So, let’s get started, first…..

Yahoo! Mail Celebrates its 16th Birthday with a Makeover

Ahh, to be 16 again. It’s that time in life when responsibilities begin to ramp up, and the desire to look attractive to others gets kicked into overdrive. Yahoo! sure isn’t oblivious to this, so it conducted a complete makeover on Mail, which, as you might have guessed, just turned sweet 16.…..

AMD’s Next-gen is (Mostly) Here: R9 280X, R9 270X, R7 260X & R7 250

Posted on October 8, 2013 12:28 PM by Rob Williams

It’s that time of year again – no, not the fall, but rather the time for a fresh GPU launch. This one comes courtesy of AMD, with its first GPUs in quite some time to not use an “HD” moniker. Today’s launch is more of an evolutionary one, being that the GPUs…..

PlayStation 4 Controller Will Work in Windows Out-of-the-box, Sony Confirms

Posted on October 7, 2013 12:05 PM by Rob Williams

Given the fact that the PlayStation 3’s gamepad was a total chore to get working on the PC (at least in Windows), I would have never anticipated the experience with the upcoming PlayStation 4 gamepad to be any better. This is one of those times when I’m glad my assumptions are wrong,…..

Boutique Builder Origin PC Drops AMD GPU Options

Posted on October 7, 2013 8:00 AM by Rob Williams

Here’s a bit of news AMD sure could have done without ahead of its next-gen GPU launch. Boutique builder Origin PC announced late last week that it’d be ceasing the option of adding AMD’s graphics cards to customer systems, citing “customer experiences” as the first big reason behind the decision. As told…..

Steam Machine Specs Have Arrived: This Ain’t No Ordinary ‘Console’

Posted on October 4, 2013 4:14 PM by Brandon Mietzner

Valve’s TV-bound ‘Steam Machine’ might have just been announced one week ago, but it appears the company didn’t want to waste too much of our time waiting for specs. Over at the Steam Community today, Valve’s Greg Coomer gave us not only that information, but also goes on to talk about the…..

FBI Siezes Online Bitcoin Drug Marketplace Silk Road

Posted on October 3, 2013 9:30 AM by Rob Williams

Well, well, well… wouldn’t you know it? If you operate a marketplace that revolves around swapping illegal drugs, the FBI might just catch up with you – even if you take some serious security / privacy precautions. Such is the tale of Silk Road, a site that operated not on the Web,…..

Valve Files Trademark for Half-Life 3 in Europe (Yes, Really)

Posted on October 1, 2013 4:16 PM by Rob Williams

In a bit of news I don’t find all-too-surprising, Valve has just filed a trademark in Europe for the name “Half-Life 3”. What actually might be surprising is the fact that it took the company so long, as even if Valve were to never produce another Half-Life game, it’d want to avoid…..

BitFenix Intros Phenom SFF Chassis

Posted on September 30, 2013 3:00 PM by J.D. Kane

There’s no doubt about it: It’s all about miniaturization when it comes to the PC market. Not only is the market share for PCs shrinking, but so are product designs as well. Without trying to be sexist (and therefore unfunny), men in particular feel wary any time they encounter the mere notion…..

End of an Era: Soccer Games Wrap-up PlayStation 2 Releases

Posted on September 30, 2013 1:34 PM by Rob Williams

Despite the fact that the PlayStation 3 has been available for seven years, not every Sony fan has been able to make the jump to it. As such, some developers have continued to support the classic console with newer releases, though most of them have been sports-related (a notable exception is the…..
