, Mar 13th 2013 Discuss [0]

This week the folks at Vivid Games S.A. have unleashed the biggest, baddest face-flattening Android game to ever grace the likes of the NVIDIA TegraZone: Real Boxing! While this game has been available for iOS for some time, this edition of the game comes to Android as a Tegra exclusive – having been assisted by the NVIDIA developer crew in optimizing the game for their Tegra 3 (and above) processor, you’ll not be able to get this game anywhere other than your T3-toting machine (at least at first).

Real Racing 3 for iOS Review

, Mar 6th 2013 Discuss [0]

After a successful launch of Real Racing 2 towards the end of 2010, the racing simulator kept gamers’ interest for over two years, and now a third installment is back. However, there are a few changes that make this threequel noteworthy. First of all, the game is now completely free to download, which sounds almost too good to be true, but developer Firemonkey and publisher Electronic Arts have decided to take the freemium route this time around. Plus, there are all new cars and tracks to race your way around. I ended up spending some time with the game, attempting to make my way up to elite status, and there a lot of things I liked about it, but there were also a lot of things that I didn’t like. Let’s break it down now.

iBUYPOWER Revolt Review

, Feb 13th 2013 Discuss [0]

Gaming PCs usually come in huge full-size towers, while some builders can cram a decent rig into a mid-size tower. However, iBUYPOWER has managed to stuff a top-of-the-line gaming machine into a SFF (small form factor) case, which isn’t completely unheard of, but very few people attempt such a feat. This new computer is called the Revolt, and it was announced earlier last month at CES 2013. The new computer is expected to start shipping sometime later this month, but we ended up getting some quality hands-on time with the new rig and ran it through its paces. Let’s see how it did.

Avengers Initiative Tegra Enhanced Review

, Nov 21st 2012 Discuss [0]

Though the Marvel Comics game by the name of Avengers Initiative is indeed available for an elite collection of high-powered Android devices, it’s the NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor that’s breaking out the best of the best. The review you’re about to set your eyes on is done on none other than the ASUS Transformer Prime, the first device to sport the Tegra 3 – but chances are you’ll be breaking it out on the super-popular Google Nexus 7 tablet: and lucky you – that device works with a Tegra 3 as well.

Damage Inc: Pacific Squadron WWII Review

, Aug 28th 2012 Discuss [0]

World War II is something that we haven’t seen in too many games lately. It used to be that World War II was the focus of a lot of military shooters – the Call of Duty series was all World War II before Modern Warfare came along, and the Medal of Honor and Battlefield series did their part in making sure that there was never a lack of World War II games. Then, World War II as a setting for war games seemingly vanished, thanks in no small part to the fatigue players began feeling after a while.

Nintendo 3DS XL Review

, Aug 1st 2012 Discuss [0]

Reviewing a product like the Nintendo 3DS XL is a strange affair. The mobile gaming market has changed dramatically over the last several years thanks to the advent of iOS and Android, both offering games that approach the quality of what you would expect to find on a Nintendo or Sony handheld for a fraction of the price. It’s hard to look at the 3DS XL without a cynical eye either given that 3DS sales are starting to slump, with Nintendo recently reporting a decline in revenue and posting a net loss of around $220 million. Is the 3DS XL the boost that Nintendo needs in a world that’s rapidly forgetting the traditional portable gaming handheld? Let’s find out.
