ATI’s latest cards are out, and they are getting some major attention. These are supposed to be the cards that really put ATI back on the map in the GPU race. Personally I thought that the 38xx series were pretty good, however, I’ve got the new 4850, so we’ll see how it stacks up against [...]

We were hoping to hear some kind of announcement regarding the status of the Wrath of the Lich King Beta during Blizzard’s WWI. There was little information to be had at the event, however, they have just announced that they are now taking applications for the beta.

With any new game that’s announced, there are always a ton of questions left unanswered. Over time details slowly trickle down the line, and Rock Band 2 is no different. One question we now no the answer to is regarding the number of songs included on the disc.  The magic number, it has been revealed, [...]

I’m sure that there are a few of you out there that enjoy gaming on a Mac. Believe me, I’m one of them, though all I really run on my Hackentosh (yes, my Windows gaming rig also runs OSX) is WoW. Well if you’re a fan of Ubisoft titles, then you’ll be happy to hear [...]

There are some online games out there that just won’t die. That’s not really a bad thing, but I have to say that after playing a game and having everything I’d worked on deleted for the second time, I wouldn’t really feel like going back to it. That being said, Myst Online: Uru Live is [...]

If you’ve never played Chrono Trigger before, you’ve missed out one of the better RPG titles of the Super Nintendo era. It made the rounds again on a PlayStation re-release, however, come this holiday season, you won’t need to dust off an old console to play this classic.

How many of you have seen the movie Top Gun? Now, of those people, how many of you had aspirations of one day flying your own F-14 Tomcat? If you answered yes to the first question but no to the second, you’re lying. Everyone wanted to fly a jet after that movie. That, and buy [...]

Lately we’ve been seeing more and more games for the PS3 require a hard drive installation to play. It’s become such commonplace now that no one is really making a big deal out of it. Honestly, it’s not such a big deal for PS3 owners because they can install a large hard drive on the [...]
