GOG.com Craves Indie Games, Launches Portal to Encourage Submissions
It’s times like this when I wish I were an indie game developer. GOG.com has grown a lot since we first took a look at the service four-years-ago, but fortunately, its core values have remained intact. The company still cares a lot about giving gamers DRM-free options, even going as far as…..
EVGA Announces the SuperNOVA 1000 P2 Platinum-Rated Power Supply
EVGA has introduced the newest addition to its power supply unit line-up: the SuperNOVA 1000 P2, which has quite a few things going for it, including: 1000W power output @ up to +50°C 80 PLUS Platinum efficiency certification (which means it will deliver up to 92% efficiency at loads up to 50%) Superior…..

Ahead of the launch of AMD’s Kaveri processor series, GIGABYTE has announced its A88X motherboard lineup, featuring seven models. Of these, the two that stand out are the F2A88X-UP4 and G1.Sniper A88X – the latter of which is targeted at gamers. The G1.Sniper A88X: GIGABYTE G1.Sniper A88X Audio is a major focus…..
EVGA Touts ‘Double BIOS’ on its GeForce GTX 700 Models
Over the years, we’ve seen a number of dual-BIOS designs from motherboard and graphics card vendors, but for some strange reason, it’s something that’s never become a standard. Whether for overclocking or for safety, I’ve always appreciated it when a component I own has a bit of redundancy, because after all, if…..
DuckTales Remastered Review
Uncle Scrooge is back, and he’s just as we remembered him from his NES days. With gorgeous visuals and immersive audio, DuckTales Remastered looks and feels like a modern game, but manages to pack one heck of a nostalgic punch at the same time. And at $15, it’s nostalgia done cheap. As…..
Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition Available Again for Purchase
A few months back, we reported that Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition’s continued support and Beamdog’s ambitions for releasing an update for its predecessor, Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn, was in serious jeopardy due to overwhelming “contractual issues”, and further purchases were not possible until they had been addressed. These issues have just recently…..
Apple’s iPhone 5S Rumored to Offer 128GB Model, 64-bit CPU & Gold Color Option
The iPhone 5S rumors keep on truckin’. This time, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (who has a rather good track record), has talked about three major changes that could come to Apple’s next flagship (which is likely to be revealed at a special event on September 10th). Given the fact that the…..
Linux-bound: Football Manager 2014 & Tropico 5
This has been quite the week for Linux gaming, kicked-off with the help of Metro: Last Light and its huge hint of it being en route to the platform. That news came forth on Monday, and as of today, the game is still inaccessible, but given the fact that the game at…..
Quick-Gage: COUGAR Dual-X LED Fans (140 & 120mm) Review
Are you a fan of cooling efficiency, bling, and especially the two combined? If so, COUGAR’s CFD Dual-X LED fans are worth checking out. Ideally spec’d as fans to line the interior of your chassis, only part of the CFD series’ goal is to keep things cool. The other half is to…..
Rockstar Announces GTA Online, Free to Those who Purchase GTA V
Rockstar has today announced GTA Online, a free game that will be bundled with Grand Theft Auto V. This isn’t some minor add-on, though. All multiplayer is based around a persistent world, so it’s not a mere matter of queueing up with friends in a lobby to indulge in some co-op fun.…..
KDE 4.11 Released, Brings Lots of Polish & Faster Performance
The KDE developer team has just pushed version 4.11 of the Software Compilation suite out the door, and as always, it’s well worth taking the time to upgrade. With this 11th major KDE 4 release upon us, I couldn’t help but look to see how far we are into its life, and…..
Move Aside, Steam: Humble Origin Bundle Launches, 100% of Proceeds Goes to Charity
The successful Humble ‘Deep Silver’ Bundle just ended, so what better way to follow up than to launch another bundle featuring none other than EA? Clearly, that was the thought those behind the Humble Bundle had, and I’d be a horrible liar if I didn’t say this promotion wasn’t as drool-worthy as…..
Dota 2’s ‘The International’ Reached a Peak of 1 Million Simultaneous Viewers
eSports has always been popular to some degree, but when Dota 2 hit the scene in 2011, things exploded. Until that time, I didn’t know anyone that actually watched eSports, but since then, things have changed. With last week’s The International, a couple of friends of mine watched it for hours. The…..
Whoops: New York Times Website Goes Down
I’m sure the folks at New York Times would have preferred downtime to hit at a much quieter hour, but that’s not how things happen sometimes. Amidst the newspaper’s ongoing coverage of the events in Egypt, where a state of emergency was just declared, its website simply disappeared, with the cause being…..
Exploring TARDIS with Google Street View’s Latest Easter Egg
Google’s been taking advantage of its Street View service for a while to tease Doctor Who fans with randomly placed TARDIS police boxes around the UK, but this latest easter egg is without question the best. If you stroll along Earl’s Court Rd. in London, you’ll spot TARDIS (which for the record, is…..
AMD Launches ‘Never Settle Forever’ Campaign, Lets You Choose the Games You Want
Since its first ‘Never Settle’ campaign, AMD sought out to give gamers a compelling reason to choose its cards, and I think it’s done a great job. With games like BioShock Infinite, Tomb Raider, Sleeping Dogs and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon up for grabs, the value is high. One area where…..
Steam Cards: How Do They Work?
When Valve introduced its trading cards mechanic on Steam this past May, I wasn’t sure what to expect, or sure if anyone would care. After the recent summer sale wrapped-up, though, I realized that you should never underestimate Valve. For better or for worse, trading cards are intriguing, so we’re taking a…..
Hard Drive Vendors Form ‘Storage Products Association’ to Help Promote Magnetic Storage
It’s a secret to no one that over the last couple of years, solid-state storage has become a serious force in the storage market. No straight-thinking person would suggest anything other than an SSD as your primary storage device (for OS install), as its increased throughput, much reduced latency and superior operations-per-second…..
Microsoft Set to Drop Windows 8.1 for Public Consumption in October
Yesterday, we talked about the new Help & Tips tile that Microsoft is adding to Windows 8.1, and in that post, I suggested that we could see the 8.1 RTM drop in the month ahead. Well, as it turns out, I’m a horrible analyst, as ZDNet’s Mary Jo Foley is reporting that…..
Logitech’s TK820 Wireless Keyboard Features Large Built-in Touchpad
Need a touchpad at home or a larger touchpad while on-the-go? Logitech might have what you need, with its just-announced TK820. This is definitely one of the most interesting-looking keyboards out there, as it features a massive touchpad that takes up at least 25% of the entire unit – it’s far larger…..
EVGA Proves that SLI Bridges Don’t Need to Look Boring, with its ‘Pro’ Series Bridges
AMD’s CrossFire and NVIDIA’s SLI multi-GPU technologies have been around for a while, but after all these years, no company has taken to the challenge of making their bridges look less… well, boring. We’ve seen some prettied-up at trade and gaming shows, but usually it comes courtesy of a modder, and they’re…..

Do you want to take Firefox OS for a spin? Do you want a super-cheap phone? Do you want both? Chinese phone giant ZTE could have you covered, as it’s planning to offer its Firefox OS phone, the ZTE Open, direct to consumers via the eBay marketplace. At $80, it’s clear that…..
BREAKING: AOL Still Exists (Oh, and it Fired a Guy for No Reason)
During an AOL workplace conference call on Friday, where CEO Tim Armstrong (not to be confused with the epic punk rocker) wanted to talk about Patch, the company’s local news network, things went awry. A day before, during the company’s earnings call, Armstrong said that Patch’s network of sites would be reduced…..
Metro: Last Light is Coming to Linux
For a Linux gamer, there’s little that’s more depressing than seeing excellent games go on sale for ridiculous prices that won’t work on their platform of choice. The latest example of this is with the ongoing Humble Deep Silver Bundle, where not a single title offered is Linux-compatible (nor OS X-compatible, for…..
Latest Windows 8.1 Build Adds Much-needed Tutorials
Though I’ve been using Windows 8 since its launch last fall, I’ve remained critical of Microsoft for doing little to help those who adopt the OS make the most of the Start screen. While the company might believe that the Start screen is intuitive, I’ve learned from experience that it’s not. The…..
