Two Co-op Games Worth Checking Out: Shadow Warrior 2 & Ghost Recon: Wildlands
My brother and I love playing games together, but we tend to lean towards cooperative play over competitive. Unfortunately, the co-op market is one that’s not as full as it could be, unless you’re counting games that can involve co-op, but are ultimately online games with other players. Borderlands is what I…..
AMD Posts Helpful Infographic To Highlight Ryzen’s Strengths
As we established across our look at both Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 5, we found that AMD’s latest crop of CPUs are absolute powerhouses in many scenarios, with gaming being the most notable area where the weaker IPC and single-threaded performance has fallen short. I hate to use the term “fallen short”, though,…..

LG’s 43-inch 43UD79-B IPS 4K Monitor Supports FreeSync, Costs $697 USD
Earlier this week, we wrote about an impressive new monitor offering from Acer, a 4K beaut that packs in more than we’d expect (even Tobii eye-tracking!). While we don’t know what the Predator X27 is going to cost once it hits etail, our guesstimates put it at over $1,500. For most, that’s…..
Netflix Enjoys Four Times The Subscribers Of Comcast’s Cable TV Service
Netflix may make some frustrating changes from time to time, but overall, the price for its offering keeps people coming back, and encourages Netflix newbies to take the plunge. But just how popular is Netflix overall? According to Exstreamist (a clever site name, I must admit), it’s at least four times as…..
Microsoft Announces Windows 10 S To Take On The Likes Of Chrome OS
Microsoft has today unveiled its third consumer version of Windows 10, and it’s probably not quite what you’re expecting. Called Windows 10 S, this version of Microsoft’s latest (and greatest?) OS caters to the same crowd that mulls Chrome OS as a potential choice. It’s whittled-down in comparison to the full-blown Windows…..
Acer Predator X27: The Monitor That Has Everything
Displays have had a bit of a slow period over the last few years, nothing really caught the public’s attention. While there is a steady increase in interest for 4K resolution, there are now a wealth of additional technologies that have had people upgrading on a more regular basis. Acer has brought…..
Planning An Upgrade To Intel X299? Noctua Has A Free Cooler Mount For You
A few months in advance of the release of AMD’s Ryzen processors, Noctua told its customers that if they wanted a free AM4 mounting kit for their existing Noctua cooler, they were free to request one.

First Impressions Of Corsair’s Crystal 570X Mid-Tower Tempered Glass Chassis
When I took my first look at Corsair’s Crystal 570X at its release last fall, I fell in love almost immediately. Overall, the chassis design is simple to grasp and work with, but once in action, it’ll help make a build look downright gorgeous. I knew I had to have one as a…..
Intel’s Optane Memory Hits The Market, Available In 16GB & 32GB Densities

AMD Announces Updated Radeon Pro Duo Boasting 11.45 TFLOPS Of Compute Performance For $999
Almost exactly a year ago, AMD released a graphics card that required more explaining than most, because it just wasn’t clear to everyone from the get-go who it was designed for. Part of that confusion owes its thanks to the fact that the card sported the Radeon name, and not to mention…..
Netflix’s Overhauled Ratings System Is Leaving An Awful Lot To Be Desired
A little over a month ago, after what’s believed to be a response to downvoting trolls, Netflix replaced its 5-star rating system with an even simpler up / down voting one. From the get-go, I hated the change, but for the sake of not jumping to conclusions, I decided to use it…..
Mastercard Tests Credit Card Design With Built-in Fingerprint Reader
When debit and credit cards first hit the market with “Tap” – the ability to tap your card on a reader in lieu of punching in a PIN code – I couldn’t believe how insecure it felt. I first learned of the feature when I was at a coffee shop and the…..

After Nearly 20 Years, Intel Calls It Quits On Its Annual Developer Forum
A website landing page which once previewed an upcoming Intel Developer Forum for fall 2017 has just been replaced with a much simpler one bearing a grim message. Seemingly out of nowhere, Intel has decided to cancel all of its Intel Developer Forum – not just one event, but all of them.…..
Speculation Runs Rampant On Why Nintendo Is Discontinuing The NES Classic Edition
Last summer, Nintendo won the Internet for a day when it announced that it was going to release a mini Nintendo Entertainment System with 30 built-in games.

NVIDIA Reveals New Top-end TITAN Xp Graphics Card, Forthcoming Support For Pascal On Mac
When NVIDIA unveiled its second-generation TITAN X last summer, it was a bit of an odd launch in that it came out of absolutely nowhere. Unlike most launches, the media was not given a heads-up that go-around. Instead, NVIDIA chief Jen-Hsun Huang decided to reveal the card to researchers, and given its…..
