Razer Updates Naga MMO Mouse, Adds Mechanical Switches & Left-Handed Version
Razer has just updated its ultra-popular Naga MMO gaming mouse, and with it comes a couple of interesting and important features. First and foremost: there’s now a left-handed version; aside from the design being inverted, there’s no difference between both versions. Notable also is the fact that the grid of 12 shortcut…..
NVIDIA’s SHIELD is Now On Sale: Prepare the Couch!
The time has come: NVIDIA’s SHIELD gaming portable is now available for purchase. The lead-up to SHIELD’s launch wasn’t ideal for NVIDIA, but it looks like all of the hassle is well behind it. SHIELD can be purchased through NVIDIA’s own website, Newegg, GameStop, Microcenter and Canada Computer for $299 USD. As…..
CM Storm QuickFire XT Mechanical Keyboard Review
When Cooler Master introduced its QuickFire Rapid last year, it seemed like it was a near-perfect mech. The only thing that let it down in some people’s eyes was the lack of a numpad, but now, a couple of years later, the company has addressed that with its latest offering, the QuickFire…..
Back to the Corporate: Humble Bundle Teams Up with Deep Silver
Well well well… it looks as though producing not-so-“humble” bundles works out well for the folks over at Humble Bundle. Last fall, the Web got itself into a roar after THQ joined forces with Humble Bundle to offer up a bunch of killer games for a great price. The problem, of course,…..
Gamers Take Podium at Spa 24 Hours Endurance Race
As someone who has long scoffed at the notion that Sony’s Gran Turismo series is a genuine racing simulator, a story that ran on Jalopnik made me sit up and pay close attention. According to the site, a team composed of Gran Turismo experts took third in the Pro-Am class, as well…..
Major UK Retailer Asda to Stop Selling Wii U at Retail
It’s no secret that Nintendo’s latest console has been having a difficult time penetrating the market since its release (a stark contrast to its last console), but things have just gotten worse for the Wii U: Major UK supermarket Asda has ceased the stocking of Wii U consoles, games and accessories. If…..
SanDisk Ultra Plus 256GB SSD Review
Enthusiast SSDs may get all of the fame and glory, but it’s the value brands that always sell the most drives. As a relative newcomer that doesn’t rely on SandForce controllers like many other vendors do, can SanDisk’s Marvell-equipped Ultra Plus deliver that “Ultra” good value we’re looking for? Many of our readers should…..
Apple’s Developer Portal Still Down, No Word On When it Will Come Back Up
We reported earlier this week about a security breach that took place on Apple’s developer portal last Thursday, which the company responded to immediately. Based on the light information we were given, it was difficult to take a guess as to when its services would be back online, but as the bulk…..
A Great On-the-go Time-waster: Paper Toss 2.0
I often tell people that I don’t much care for mobile gaming, but as soon as I’m out of the house and find myself bored, I become the biggest hypocrite the world has seen. That being said, I am rather fussy about the games I play. As much as I love FPS…..
Adobe Lightroom 5 Remembers its Roots
For the first time since its launch in 2007, the newest version of Adobe Lightroom focuses on refining the experience for photographers with a few well-built features rather than packing in a bunch of cruft that most of us didn’t want. It may not boast a big list of “new” items, but…..
A Quick Look at What Android 4.3 Brings to the Table
Most of the talk surrounding Google this week has been about its upcoming 2nd-gen Nexus 7 (admittedly, for good reason), but I thought it’d be worth taking a look at the operating system actually shipping with it, and other select devices in the near-future. The fact that 4.3 shares the same codename…..
Google Unveils 2nd-Gen Nexus 7: 1.5GHz SoC, 5MP Rear Camera, Android 4.3
Google had a lot to talk about at its “Breakfast with Sundar Pichai” press event earlier today, but most of the attention leaned towards the company’s long-awaited Nexus 7 follow-up. Produced by ASUS, as the original was, the second-gen Nexus 7 features a similar form-factor (though a tad thicker) but boasts a…..
NVIDIA Unveils Mobile Kepler, Dubbed ‘Project Logan’, at SIGGRAPH
A little over a month ago, NVIDIA unveiled that it would begin licensing out some of its IP, such as Kepler (used in desktop, workstation and mobile parts). With that, it seemed likely that some company would implement it into some mobile part, and that’s now proven to be the case. First…..
Gearbox to Release Remade HD Versions of Homeworld 1 & 2
We’ve had a lot of classic oldie-but-goodie games that have been brought back from the depths of obsolescence thanks to GOG, and many more old games that have received new love as they crossed to the open source community (Descent, Ultima VII, Sierra adventure games, Hexen). However, true remakes of classic titles…..
Apple’s Developer Portal Confirmed to Have Been Breached
When is this going to end? Social media networks blew up late last week with reports of password reset emails being sent to members of Apple’s developer site, and yesterday, the company confirmed that a breach did in fact go down: Last Thursday, an intruder attempted to secure personal information of our…..
NVIDIA to Launch its SHIELD Gaming Portable on July 31
Getting impatient waiting on NVIDIA’s SHIELD to launch? Imagine how NVIDIA feels. Last month, the company announced that the gaming portable would launch the following week, and then out of nowhere, a discovered mechanical issue forced it to delay the launch. That part sucked, but at least we knew the device would…..

Official Ubuntu Forums Breached, Nearly 2 Million Accounts Compromised
The official Ubuntu forums were breached yesterday evening, and Canonical today has confirmed that everyone’s username, password and email address has been snagged. For those who share the same password between the Ubuntu forums and other services, or have a rather simple password, it’s strongly recommended that you change it wherever it’s…..
‘Falskaar’ Becomes Latest Must-Have Skyrim Mod, Adds 25 Hours of Gameplay
For a perfect example of what a game can become when modding’s introduced, look no further than The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Not long after the game’s launch, the number of mods available was mind-numbing, and today, you could spend as much time applying mods to the game than it will take…..
Intel Core i7-4770K Quad-Core Processor Review
Intel’s latest processor architecture brings a lot to the table, with the usual suspects dominating the feature’s-list: improved CPU and GPU performance, better power-efficiency, and new instruction sets. We’re taking a look at the desktop line’s highest-end offering here, so let’s see how it stacks up against the last-gen’s champ. Hmm, is…..

NVIDIA’s GeForce 326.19 Driver Boosts Performance Up to 19%, Adds Support for ASUS’ 4K Display
NVIDIA has just rolled-out a brand-new beta driver, versioned 326.19. Overall, this release is rather modest in comparison to some that we’ve seen, but if you happen to play DiRT: Showdown or F1 2012, some serious performance gains can be seen. Further, if you happen to be one of the incredibly lucky…..
Cooler Master Intros Pitch In-Ear Gaming Earphones
Cooler Master has announced the introduction of the Pitch, the brand’s very first in-ear gaming headset. Yes, headset. Evidently, Cooler Master wants to do things right when it comes to the Pitch’s sound output.

With its just-announced Bluetooth Speakers Z600, Logitech’s looking to give consumers not just a great sounding option for their notebooks, but a great looking one as well.

You Can See What Steam’s Next Featured Game Sale Will Be, Here’s How
Sometimes, the simplest easter eggs are the best. Since Valve’s latest Steam sale began, there’s been a featured game at the top, and a related summer camp card to the right. Well, behind that card is another, which I’m sure many of you have noticed. What a lot of you might not…..
