Yahoo Campus

It feels like things couldn’t get much worse for Yahoo at this point. Its first major problem is obvious: it failed to improve its revenue situation, and had to become open to takeover deals. Verizon swooped in, willing to snap the company up for $4.8 billion – which almost seems like a…..

SteelSeries Unveils Arctis Headset Lineup, High-end Kit For A Chill Price Tag

Posted on October 4, 2016 1:01 AM by Ryan Perry

The gloves are off kiddies, as SteelSeries officially announces its new Arctis high performance headset lineup. Now we said “high performance”, not high priced, which unfortunately seems to go hand-in-hand most times, seeing how some headsets can cost hundreds of dollars. Thankfully that’s not the case with SteelSeries’ freshest headset creations, but…..

EVGA Powerlink In Use

We received a bit of marketing from EVGA this morning that told us that anyone purchasing a new 10-series graphics card from the company would receive a PowerLink free-of-charge. Our first reaction? “What in the heck is PowerLink?” The answer: something long, long overdue. PowerLink, seen above, is a simple device that…..

Posted on October 2, 2016 11:41 AM by Rob Williams

With Nintendo’s NX console expected to launch this spring, it’s hard to believe that we still know so little about it. We do know that it’s going to be “interesting”, because all Nintendo livingroom consoles are, but whether or not that interesting equates to “awesome” is something that’s yet to be seen.…..

No Man’s Sky Being Investigated For Inaccurate Marketing

No Mans Sky Box Art

So, it’s come to this. It’s no secret that the launch of No Man’s Sky was less-than-ideal. For starters, it took longer to land than it should have, and when it did, it was missing a lot of functionality that fans expected. Some blame other fans for building up hype for non-existent…..

Destiny Sightseeing At The Tower

When Bungie decided to leave the Halo universe behind to focus on a brand-new IP, Destiny, many PC gamers held out hope that they’d see the company’s latest epic shooter hit their platform. That of course didn’t happen, and it was a bit frustrating given the fact that the game was supported…..

It’s been quite the week for security journalist Brian Krebs, but not for great reasons. Well – that can be subjective, as some good is coming out of the unparalleled DDoS attack his website KrebsOnSecurity encountered last week. Let’s rewind a little bit.

It hardly seems like the 950 Pro is a year old, yet Samsung has just kicked off its 2016 SSD Global Summit with quite a bang. The 950 PRO has proven to be a tough M.2 SSD to beat, and although many competitors were initially announced last year only a couple eventually…..

Lenovo Yoga 900 Ultrabook

Does Microsoft require its ‘Signature’ PCs to prevent Linux from being used? That’s the insinuation made over at reddit today by user BaronHK. This came about after he was unable to install Linux on his brand-new Lenovo Yoga 900 ultrabook, something he decided to complain about in Best Buy’s review section; a…..

Digital Homicides 1 Ball 2 Win

You’d think that in 2016, developers would realize that their actions could have consequences, but that doesn’t seem to be the case for those who work at Digital Homicide. This developer has been pushing less-than-stellar games to Steam for a while, and as you’d expect, the reviews reflected that. But apparently, Digital…..

Last fall, the future of Mad Catz seemed uncertain. A bankruptcy loomed, but despite that, the company showed up at this year’s CES with a number of products on hand. Not long after, though, our PR contact left his position, adding even more to the uncertainty. Since then, Mad Catz seems to…..

Logitech has no shortage of peripherals that can be used across multiple devices, but its new K780 wireless keyboard is a bit different: it has a built-in stand. While not entirely new, given the K480 we’ve looked at before has a similar design, the K780 is much more streamlined, and in my…..

Posted on September 12, 2016 12:44 PM by Rob Williams

It’s sometimes hard to choose between one gaming mouse and another when you’re in the market for one. That could even apply to the same vendor; it’s inevitable that multiple models are going to be so similar that figuring out which is actually best (for you) will be a little tedious. Well, that…..
