What Are Your Thoughts on Valve’s Steam Controller?
Thanks to some server issues we had to deal with on Friday, we were unable to talk about the announcement of Valve’s interesting Steam Controller, but it just seems wrong to not mention it at all, so let’s take care of that here. After my first glance at the Steam Controller, I…..
AMD Releases ‘Gaming Evolved’ App to Compete with NVIDIA’s GeForce Experience
When NVIDIA released the beta for its GeForce Experience app earlier this year, it took me just a couple of minutes after using it to begin wondering how long it’d take AMD to follow-up with its own solution. While advanced PC gamers might not see much use in a tool that automatically…..

AMD Introduces Next-gen ‘Volcanic Islands’ GPUs
At its Tech Day held in Hawaii earlier today, AMD revealed its upcoming graphics card lineup, appropriately codenamed “Volcanic Islands”. Right off the bat, one of the most interesting things about these GPUs is their model names. Gone are the days of “Radeon HD XXXX”; instead, this new series categorizes itself as…..

Valve Announces ‘Steam Machines’, Is Giving You a Chance at Scoring a Prototype Machine
Valve has just revealed the second of three announcements it’s going to be making this week, and like the first, it’s worth getting excited over.

Cooler Master’s Cosmos SE – Aggressive, Nimble & Driven by Aesthetic
If bigger is truly better, then Cooler Master’s Cosmos full tower cases must be a double fudge sundae with whipped cream, sprinkles and cherries on top. Still not enough? How about another scoop in the form of the brand new Cosmos SE? This addition to the family keeps the same basic exterior…..
Corsair Obsidian 750D – Scaled-Down Godzilla Still Thrills
When I first heard about the Corsair Obsidian 900D – nicknamed “Godzilla” – a while ago and saw the first teaser photos, I fell in love. You see, I’ve got a fetish for big, black, monolithic PC chassis. To this very day, it’s the one PC case that I wish I had. It’s…..
Intel Core i7-4960X Extreme Edition Review
Intel’s latest processor series has arrived, and we’re looking to find out if it becomes the company’s greatest. Compared to Intel’s latest mainstream part, Haswell, IV-E avails a quad-channel memory controller, a far more robust PCIe configuration, and the only place to get six-core parts. Are there other perks to be found?…..

The Problem Continues: A Lot of Parents Ignore or Don’t Care About ESRB Ratings
Too often, video games are blamed for real-life violence, as if all it takes is a little bit of inspiration to cause someone to act out a brutal deed. I’ve been a huge Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater fan since the original PlayStation game, and I can tell you one thing: I’ve never…..
Microsoft Wants Another Go: Surface 2 & Surface 2 Pro Tablets Announced
Microsoft has no problem admitting that its original Surface tablets failed to meet expectations, but rather than give up on its tablet pursuits, the company has decided to keep on truckin’, and is doing so with Surface 2 and Surface 2 Pro. I’m sure it’ll come as a surprise to no one,…..
Valve Announces SteamOS: Based on Linux, Designed for the Livingroom
Valve teased us late last week that it’d be making three big announcements this week, and the first one… it’s quite the doozy: SteamOS. It’s just what you’d expect from the name alone: An operating system designed from the ground up with gaming and other entertainment in mind – and yup, it’s…..
Apple’s TouchID Can be Broken with a Little Patience and the Right Tools
Mere days after Apple’s latest and greatest iPhone became available for public consumption, a team called Chaos Computer Club managed to break the device’s fingerprint security.

Blizzard Decides to Call it Quits on Diablo III’s Auction House
It’d be an understatement to say that Diablo III‘s launch last spring had a couple of issues, but one of the biggest had to do with a feature that Blizzard felt its ultra-popular ARPG series needed: An auction house. As a general rule, auction houses seem to be mostly regarded as a…..
The Next Step: Cyanogen Raises $7m to Improve Android, Test the Hardware Waters
The folks behind the Cyanogen project are aiming big, and with the help of a $7 million investment, that “big” could be reached sooner than expected. Cyanogen, the Android OS replacement, has become mega-popular since its first release about four years ago. Those who opt to install it get a fine-tuned Android…..
NVIDIA Reveals Tegra Note Tablet Platform, EVGA & PNY to Head-up NA Releases
Finally: NVIDIA has just taken the veil off of its Tegra Note reference tablet. The “reference” part of this equation is an important one, as NVIDIA itself isn’t going to be selling tablets; rather, it’s going to give the designs to third-parties to tweak, build and sell. This is little different from…..
Chun-Li’s Jealous and is Taking it Out on Everybody
As the story goes, Street Fighter‘s Chun-Li is jealous. Beyond jealous, really. It’s her thighs to blame, which are a bit on the “thick” side, in her mind. Naturally, the only way she can get the angst out of her system is to convert it to harm on other people – male…..
Valve’s Gabe Newell Calls Linux the ‘Future of Gaming’, Steambox Announcement Imminent
Years ago, it seemed certain that Microsoft would remain dominant in the PC gaming space forever, as far as OSes go, and if you were to ask me at that time if I felt that the platform would be successful in the future, I’m not too sure I’d be enthusiastic about an…..
Don’t Want the Latest Version of iOS? You Can Still Download ‘Last Compatible Version’ Apps

GameFly Selling BioShock: Infinite for $13.59, Includes Free Copy of Mafia II
With Steam as popular as it is, it’s sometimes easy to forget that other sellers of digital games exist, and believe me, it’s worth paying attention to them. Sometimes, when you’re lucky, you might just find a deal that’s better than what’s been seen on Steam before, such as the ongoing promotion…..
