There’s no shortage of affordable Android smartphones on the market, but ARCHOS has just made things a little more interesting with its 35 Carbon, 50 Platinum and 53 Platinum offerings. These models mark ARCHOS’ first step into the ultra-competitive smartphone market. The company has long produced media players and tablets, and hopes…..
NZXT GRID – Ten Fans, One Power Source
NZXT has just introduced its new “GRID”, an internal fan hub that supports up to ten fans. When the company introduced its Switch 810 (our review) and Phantom 630 chassis, many end-users were amazed with their integrated fan hubs. The concept of the integrated fan hub was elegant: Using one power source,…..
NVIDIA’s Latest Promo Gives You Metro: Last Light
In an age where “console ports” have unfortunately become the norm, it’s nice when some developers decide that the PC is their starting-point rather than their finishing-point. The original Crysis was a good example of a game like this. It was beyond intense when first released, requiring a couple of years before…..
CliffyB Defends “Deal With It” – We Say “Wake Up”
While the world eagerly awaits to hear about the features that the next generation Xbox will (definitively) have, we heard a controversial opinion in early April from a (now) former Microsoft employee, Adam Orth, who stated on Twitter: “Sorry, I don’t get the drama around having an ‘always on’ console. Every device…..
Dark Souls Sales Reach 2.3 Million Copies – Have You Been Missing Out?
Dark Souls is a game that I’ve been meaning to play for what feels like forever, but have been putting off thanks to that little something called “MMO Addiction”. With a recent report that the game has reached a staggering 2.3 million copies sold, I’m really beginning to wonder what I’ve been…..
Report: Bing Serves a Higher Percentage of Malware than Google
At the conclusion of an 18-month study by German testing lab AV-Test, it was discovered that Microsoft’s Bing search engine returned about 5x the number of malicious sites in the search results than leading competitor Google. Surprised? I am – but this is a particular case where the results have nothing to…..
Not Quite a Phablet: Samsung Announces Galaxy ‘Mega’ 5.8 and 6.3
That 4-inch phone a bit too small and that 7-inch phablet a bit overkill? Samsung has got you covered with its just-announced Galaxy megaphones – er, “Mega” phones. Coming in two flavors, the smaller of the two comes in at 5.8-inches whereas the other boosts things to 6.3-inches. Both feature a dual-core…..
TRENDnet Ships First 802.11ac USB 3.0 Adapter
Among the onslaught of product announcements that were made at this year’s CES, a simple WiFi adapter hit our radar that excited us enough to talk about it. How could an adapter of any sort cause us to write about it over some other product? Well, it being the first realistic 802.11ac…..
AMD Updates ‘Never Settle Reloaded’, Now Includes Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
Back in February, AMD launched its ‘Never Settle Reloaded’ promotion that we called an offer for “serious gameage”. Whether or not “gameage” is a word is unimportant – what was important was that AMD was offering a stellar collection of games for a purchase of even its mainstream offerings. NVIDIA’s counter offer,…..
Micron Launches M500 Series SSDs, First $0.62 cents-per-GB 1TB Model
First mentioned during CES 2013, Micron now officially delivers on its promise of a 960GB SSD priced at a mere $0.62 per GB. The M500 delivers a long-awaited refresh to the venerable m4 SSD family, featuring an updated controller, new NAND, and especially, new pricing. And just to clear things up now,…..
Google to Offer 1Gbit/s Fiber in Austin Next Year and… So Will AT&T
Well well well. Things are beginning to get a little interesting in the 1Gbit/s Internet game. As has been covered before, Google launched the US’ first consumer 1Gbit/s Internet option last fall, and so far, consumer response has been outstanding. For its next move, Google will be moving into Austin, Texas, as…..
Have You Ever Wondered Why Luigi is Green?
Sometimes, the simplest stories can be the most interesting. In Nintendo’s Mario universe, have you ever wondered why the iconic plumber’s brother wears green clothing? Of course, it’s to help differentiate the two characters from each other – but there’s more to it than that. In a recent Rolling Stone interview with…..
Love In-game Purchases? You’ll Adore Real Racing 3
You know what sucks? When a game is awesome… but has ridiculous DLC. It happens all too often, and I admit I’m guilty of loving some of these insufferable games. The worst, arguably, are racing titles. There have been games that have wanted to sell you most cars, upgrades, liveries, tracks and of…..
Google Updates its Play Store, Rollout Should Take a Couple of Weeks
Google has just launched a major update to its Play Store for mobile devices (an update to the website hasn’t been mentioned), and from initial screenshots, it looks quite good. It’s clean, modern, colorful and attractive. While I didn’t find too much wrong with the previous iteration of the Play Store, I…..
Next Xbox Rumored to Forego Backwards Compatibility
Well, this rumor is a little disappointing. Citing an anonymous source, Bloomberg is reporting that Microsoft’s next Xbox, dubbed Durango, will not offer backwards-compatibility. That large Xbox 360 game collection you’ve amassed over the years? Potentially only playable on Microsoft’s soon-to-be-outdated console. The reasons are obvious. If Microsoft could have easily made…..
EVGA and k|ngp|n Shatter 3DMark Fire Strike Records
Proud of your PC, are ya? Well, once again, EVGA and Vince “k|ngp|n” Lucido want you to realize that your rig is rubbish, with the help of some brutalization of Futuremark’s current flagship benchmark, Fire Strike. Vince managed to gain the top spot for the benchmark both with SLI and single GPU, Extreme test…..
Google Purges 60,000 Apps from Play Store to Help Keep Things Clean
In its continuing effort to keep its Play Store clean, Google purged a staggering 60,000 “low-quality” apps this past February. If you’re an Android user, you can probably understand why this is a very good move, although quite frankly, I have doubts that Google will ever go the distance I’d like it to. The…..
US Reaches 5 Million Cable TV-free Homes
I’m sure this will come as no surprise to a lot of you, but the number of people getting rid of their cable TV is readily increasing. In 2007, there were 2 million homes in the US that didn’t subscribe to a cable TV service, and as the title of this post…..
Verizon CEO Says It’d Be ‘Easy’ to Go Contract-Free
T-Mobile shook the mobile world up a couple of weeks ago when it announced its first no-contract plans, and it seemed likely that we’d be hearing from its competitors in some way or another as time passed – hopefully with good updates. Well, I somehow managed to miss this last week, but…..
GameStick Ships Dev Units, Kickstarter Units Delayed Until Late June
As we posted on Friday, the initial OUYA console reviews have begun to roll-out, and at this point, it’s clear that there’s some work to be done before the final retail launch occurs this June. As we can nows see, delivering an affordable console at around the ~$100 range is hard, so with…..
The OUYA Console Gets Reviewed – It Appears There’s Much Work to be Done
Reviews of the OUYA “Backer Edition” console have begun to trickle out, and so far, the general consensus is that there’s little to be excited about. It should be mentioned, though, that the retail release of OUYA comes in June, so units that have been sent to Kickstarter backers should be consider “beta” –…..
CyberLink Introduces PowerDVD 13 – Sports ‘Video Beyond HD’, 4K Support & Windows 8 App
It’s not often that we talk about commercial media player software here, but CyberLink’s latest PowerDVD packs in some new features that are worth talking about. As mentioned a couple of years ago, I’ve come to prefer PowerDVD for my video needs because I feel it delivers the best image quality, and…..
RIP LucasArts – Thanks, Disney!
Disney has pulled the plug on LucasArts. Consequently, LucasFilm’s erstwhile video games development arm becomes the second significant casualty of Disney’s purchase of George Lucas’ family of entertainment companies. The first to die by Disney’s hand, of course, is the excellent Clone Wars animated series. With LucasArts’ shutdown, around 150 members of…..
First Impressions of Trion Worlds’ Defiance
I’m not a sci-fi guy, and I certainly don’t need another MMO to play – so what’s the deal with me taking Trion’s just-released Defiance for a spin? Because I was sent a copy, and sometimes that’s all the reason I need. Plus, I do like the premise of the game, and…..
AMD’s Holding a ‘Fan Day’ in San Francisco this Coming Saturday
In or around San Francisco this weekend? If so, you’ll want to make a special trip to hit-up AMD’s “Fan Day” at City View in the Metreon. At the event, you can expect to see all things AMD on display along with other things from the company’s partners. Perhaps AMD itself puts…..
