Corsair’s Vengeance Extreme Modules Target a Special Kind of Speed Freak
Need fast memory? I mean really fast? If you also happen to have a thick wallet and don’t need more than 8GB of the stuff, Corsair has definitely got you covered. Its just-released Vengeance Extreme looks modest on the outside, but on the inside, the story is very different. The kit comes…..
Tomb Raider on NVIDIA Hardware Stabilizes (a bit) with New Beta Driver
If you’re an NVIDIA user who owns Tomb Raider, you’re undoubtedly aware of just how finicky the game has been since its launch. As we reported a couple of weeks ago, none of the issues were apparently in NVIDIA’s control, as the company didn’t receive the final game code quick enough in…..
Maxis Insider Claims SimCity Servers Unnecessary for Single-Player Mode
Ah, the epic story that is the SimCity launch debacle continues. Rock, Paper, Shotgun has reported that an unnamed Maxis insider who worked on SimCity stated that the game’s need to “offload a significant amount of the calculations” to servers is not strictly true. Said the anonymous insider: “The servers are not handling any…..
Thermaltake Chaser A71 Full-Tower – Is Bigger Better?
Hot on the heels of the recently-introduced Chaser A41 mid-tower, Thermaltake has announced the A71. The newest Chaser chassis is a full-tower, but it’s easy to see that it shares a lot of design DNA with its Chaser brethren. Aesthetically it’s a scaled-up A31. The bulging flanks on the side panels, cooling-optimized…..
Samsung’s Galaxy S 4 Features Exynos 5 Octa SoC, 1080p Display and 13MP Camera
Finally, after a month’s worth of hype-generation by Samsung, the company has announced its Galaxy S 4. Given the sheer number of leaks that hit the Web this past week, the actual design and aesthetic of the phone comes as no surprise. However, there are a couple of details that are a…..
Real Boxing and The Conduit Get Tegra 3 Treatment
NVIDIA has sent word that two highly-anticipated Tegra 3-optimized games have now arrived: Real Boxing and The Conduit. The latter might sound familiar if you own a Wii, as it was released to that platform back in 2009. To help breathe new life into the title, High Voltage Software has ported it…..
Cougar Intros Dual X – LED Fans For Fans of Beautiful Fans
There are such people as fan enthusiasts. No, really. For something as seemingly prosaic as cooling fans, it seems weird that there are people who go ga-ga over these things with rotor blades and a motor. I should know: I used to spend hours testing lots of them for their performance on…..
Google to Shutter Reader on July 1st
It’s not uncommon for large companies like Google, Yahoo! or Microsoft to shut down certain services that are not delivering the return-of-investment that they require, but never does such a closure affect me directly. But with the forth-coming closure of Google Reader, I can no longer claim that. While still a popular…..
DLC Done Right: Sleeping Dogs
Right off the bat, this post is going to be a little biased. I didn’t have a hand in making Sleeping Dogs (or else it would have been horrible), but I’ve become a little bit of a fanboi since its release. I’d like to think it’s with good reason, however. It’s not…..
GOG.com’s New Math – Pick 5 Games, Save 80%!
GOG.com’s got a stunning deal in play this week: Pick any five out of a list of twenty games, and you save 80% off each! Before you think that this deal’s just for reject games, a quick peek at the list reveals a great mix of awesome indie offerings and a smattering…..
Small Ohio Town Receives 6,600 Speeding Tickets During First Month of Speed Camera Use
Think speed trap cameras are a scam? Believe it or not, an Ohio judge agrees with you. This past September, the small town of Elmwood Place, Ohio, had speed cameras installed – and according to a lawsuit, it’s been said that its citizens were not given an appropriate heads-up, as per Ohio law. In…..
Ahead of its Launch Event, Samsung Teases Galaxy S 4 with YouTube Ads
With the amount of hype that Samsung is building around its upcoming Galaxy S 4 smartphone, we sure as heck hope that it manages to blow our socks off. I somehow missed it at the time, but last week, the company posted an ad on its YouTube page featuring Jeremy, the “secret…..
Industry Veteran Joe Ybarra Launches Own Studio, Kickstarter for ‘Shackleton Crater’
Thanks to the fact that gaming-related Kickstarter projects are a dime a dozen (or $5 per pledge, to be precise), there are few that catch my eye. Those that do tend to be led by people with established experience in the industry, and as far as that goes, few have as interesting…..
Mozilla Has No Plans to Release Firefox for iOS, Cites Apple’s to Blame
At a “Browser Wars” panel held at this weekend’s South by Southwest, Mozilla’s Senior VP of Products Jay Sullivan stated that his company is not currently working on an iOS variant of Firefox, and has no immediate plans to rectify that. The reason, not surprisingly, boils down to Apple’s attitude towards third-party…..
Long Before its Official Launch, One Bar Has Banned Google Glass
Well, this comes as no surprise at all. Despite the fact that Google Glass is not set to launch until Q4, one Seattle bar has preemptively banned the product from being worn in its establishment. Google Glass, for the uninitiated, is a product worn like a pair of glasses that can present…..
Canadian ISP Shaw Loses Millions of Customer E-mails Due to Configuration Flaw
In an event that proves that some people do in fact use their ISP-provided e-mail addresses, we’re reminded of the fact that our data in the cloud is never truly safe – even if backups are taken into consideration. Shaw Communications, a large Canadian Internet provider, was dealing with e-mail delay issues…..
Age of Empires II to Get HD Edition on April 9
Only a handful of tunes can mentally transport me to another time and place. 40 oz. to Freedom is one of them. The opening music to Age of Empires II is another. Out of all the hours I’ve spent playing games over the years, no single title has been a bigger time…..
Canadian Newspaper Begins Charging $150 to Snag a Quote
In their shift to the online space, some newspapers have tried to conjure up some creative money-making schemes to help support their business. Ad banners can sometimes only go so far. The most common solution has been subscriptions – pay so much per week or month, and you have free reign of…..
Due to an Influx of Poor Customer Feedback, Amazon Temporarily Halted SimCity Sales
Whew, EA sure can’t catch a break lately – although by this point, many would agree that it doesn’t deserve one. Earlier this week, we learned that the company would be developing all of its future titles with microtransaction capabilities, and then we saw a back-tracking to state that games would merely have…..
NVIDIA Making PhysX and APEX Available on PlayStation 4
In a bit of not-so-surprising news, NVIDIA has announced that it will be offering its PhysX and APEX technologies on Sony’s upcoming PlayStation 4 console. The reason this isn’t too surprising is that both of these technologies have been cross-platform for a while, and at least on the PhysX side, both Xbox…..
ZOTAC’s New StreamBox and RAIDbox – Easier Digital Media Sharing
ZOTAC introduced its new StreamBox and RAIDbox accessories designed to make sharing your digital media easier than ever. As its name suggests, the StreamBox facilitates streaming and broadcasting of digital media of all types.

EA Backtracking – CFO Jorgenson Issues Clarification on Micro-transactions in Games
EA CFO Blake Jorgenson appears to be backtracking to some extent on a statement he made just a week ago at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media, and Telecom Conference. At the Wedbush Technology Conference in New York City, Jorgenson said, “I made a statement in the conference along the lines of ‘We’ll…..
TRENDnet’s TPL-308E Powerline Adapter Goes Nano-sized for Easy Deployment
As a user of powerline adapters, I can vouch for their usefulness and sheer level of convenience. I have one PC in the house that’s a wee bit too far from the router, and running a long cable just wasn’t that appealing – for typical reasons. A powerline adapter solved that problem…..
ASUS Announces Transformer AiO Specs and Pricing
January’s CES introduced many interesting products to the world, but for us, one that topped the list was ASUS’ Transformer AiO. By now, you’re probably aware of what Transformer’s goals are – to “transform” into something else – but the AiO takes things to a different level. It doesn’t transform into a…..
EU Fines Microsoft $732 Million Over Browser Wheel Glitch
It’s been almost exactly three years since I last talked about Microsoft’s “Browser Wheel”, and to be honest, I had thought that’d be the last of it. But not so. As it turns out, Microsoft botched part of its Service Pack 1 update for Windows 7 which prevented the pop-up from being…..
