One User’s Experience with Upgrading the Surface Pro mSATA SSD
In its tear-down of Microsoft’s Surface Pro last week, the folks at iFixit discovered one of the rare products that’s more difficult to repair than an iPad. In fact, it was awarded the worst possible 1/10 repairability rating, meaning it should not be tackled unless A) you’re a professional and B) you…..

Hot on the heels of the leaked PlayStation 4 controller images comes another rumor that involves Sony making good use of its Gaikai cloud gaming service.

Bungie Reveals Long-awaited, Genre-bending Shooter, ‘Destiny’
The long-awaited announcement of Bungie’s post-Halo epic has arrived, and it showcases a game that’s as ambitious as it is intriguing. According to the developer, it’s not an FPS, and it’s not an MMO, despite involving elements of each. However, given the fact that the game is experienced from the first-person, it’s…..
Leaked Photos Show Off Reported PlayStation 4 Controller
The controller for Sony’s upcoming PlayStation 4 console has garnered a lot of attention lately, but so far, none of it has been based on official information.

Unigine Releases a Benchmark We Wish Was a Game: Valley
We sure didn’t see this coming. A mere two days ago, Unigine released the fourth major iteration of its popular “Heaven” benchmark, 4.0, and now, it’s gone ahead and released an entirely new benchmark called “Valley” – and wow is it gorgeous. So gorgeous, that we can’t help but wish it were an…..
Wargaming Acquires Gas Powered Games
The past couple of weeks have been pretty turbulent for Gas Powered Games. In January, the company was forced to layoff some of its staff, and earlier this week, it pulled its Kickstarter campaign for Wildman due to the likelihood that it wouldn’t reach its goal in time. After all this, it seemed…..
Tesla CEO Debunks New York Times’ Review of Model S
One of the worst things any company that sends out products for review can experience is having one fall into the hands of someone with a vendetta. Unfortunately, it’s not exactly uncommon, and it can be seen both by small and large publishers. The most recent case comes to us from Tesla,…..

Unigine Releases Heaven Benchmark 4.0, Introduces Presets & GPU Monitoring
When Unigine released the first iteration of its Heaven benchmark just over three years ago, I’m not sure I realized that we’d still be using it today. All too often, a benchmark comes along that holds great promise, but then dies off due to a lack of updates. That sure hasn’t been…..
Dell Updates its UltraSharp Line with ‘PremierColor’, Introduces Ultra-wide 29-inch Model
Dell’s UltraSharp monitors have long been considered to be some of the best, and with some fresh updates, the company is hoping to keep that public opinion alive and well. With its U3014, U2713H and U2413, Dell has infused ‘PremierColor’, a fancy marketing term that’s equal to “unbelievable color accuracy”. PremierColor goes…..
Mojang Releases Minecraft for the Raspberry Pi – For Free
As fun and flexible as the DIY Raspberry Pi is, it’s been missing something substantial up to this point: Minecraft – but no longer. Mojang has just released the first out-of-beta build for the platform, and the best part? It’s free. For the best experience, you’ll want to be running the official…..
Making Amazon’s Kindle Fire HD a Little More Usable
For its price and specs, Amazon’s Kindle Fire HD is a solid tablet. However, it’s best treated as a device for those who are heavily invested in Amazon’s ecosystem rather than someone who simply wants a tablet, because the company has definitely treated it as a focused-function device. What if you want…..

ASUS Tutor: An Example of What Microsoft Should Have Included with Windows 8
In my look at ASUS’ VivoBook X202E notebook last week, I talked a bit about a piece of bundled software that I felt represented something Microsoft itself should have created for its latest OS. It’s called ASUS Tutor, and based on the name alone, it’s not hard to tell what its goal…..
Is the iPhone Falling Behind? Steve Wozniak Seems to Think So
Apple’s iPhone might still be selling in droves, but some are beginning to wonder if it’s bound to last. The reason boils down to features, an area where things are lacking at the moment with the company. While its current iPhone 5 brought a fair bit to the table, it didn’t bring…..
Apple Becomes Leading PC Vendor, According to Canalys
To see a headline stating that Apple has become the world’s PC leader might result in some head-scratches, but once it’s realized that iPads are part of the equation, it begins to make a lot more sense. Kind of. You see, research firm Canalys doesn’t consider iPads and iPad minis to be…..
Gabe Newell Calls Linux a ‘Get-Out-Of-Jail Free Card’
If I had the chance to choose someone from the gaming industry to sit down and listen to, it’d be Gabe Newell. Sure, he’s produced a couple of games that I’ve enjoyed immensely – but that’s not the reason. Rather, he seems to just “get it”, and gets what gamers want. He doesn’t…..
A Look at Steam’s Hardware Survey for January 2013
Long before it got here, we had no doubt that January’s Steam hardware survey was going to be interesting. The biggest reason is the fact that we just went through the biggest gift-giving season of the year. Then there’s the cute little fact that in December, Valve invited Linux users en masse…..
Civilization V Lead Designer Founds ‘Conifer Games’, Launches Kickstarter Project
As a big fan of Sid Meier’s Civilization V, the Kickstarter project for Jon Shafer’s At the Gates caught my eye quicker than Alexander the Great can change his mood. Jon began his game career developing mods for Civilization III, which led him to become a beta-tester for both that game’s expansion…..

A couple of weeks ago, Valve brought over its first GoldSrc-based games to Linux: Half-Life and Counter-Strike 1.6.

NVIDIA Demos Borderlands 2 Game Streaming on Project SHIELD
At last month’s CES, NVIDIA unveiled its impressive Project SHIELD, a Tegra 4-based portable gaming system.

The claim alone seems outlandish, but today the company has proven…..
