In most other respects the quad core 3.4GHz Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 125W revision remains the same. The architecture is It's got everything you'd expect from a DVD-writer, including dual-layer DVD writing and reading, compatibility with both + and - formats, as well as support for lightscribe label burning. It's not every day that a new chipset such as the Intel P55 Express brings about such sweeping changes to the desktop PC environment. In addition to its two PCI Express x16 slots, Gigabyte's GA-P55-UD3R has four legacy PCI slots and a single PCI Express x1 slot. Enter the AMDAthlon II X3 435 processor, the focus of this PCSTATS  rocessor review.It's a 2.9GHz triple-core socket AM3 CPU built on the Propus die. So is it better to get a dual core CPU, a triple-core CPU or a

Eyefinity Challenge in Dallas, TX
Thu: 11.19.09 | 5:02P | Games | PermaLink
Posted by: STAFF
"There is one huge thing that sucks about Eyefinity though, and that is getting you, yes you, to understand its impact on your gaming experience without actually using it. The great authors of our time could hammer the technology with adjectives for days, and until you sit down and game on it, you likely are not going to "get it." We laid it out in our Eyefinity review, "If you get chance, don't take our word for it, please go experience it..." But just how the hell are you supposed to do that?"

Left 4 Dead 2 Graphics Performance
Tue: 11.17.09 | 9:47P | Games | PermaLink
Posted by: STAFF
The new melee weapons will certainly appeal to fans, and it has to be said that there is certainly something about whacking zombies in the head with a frying pan that never gets old. Left 4 Dead 2 has already provided us with a great deal of entertainment in the few days that we got to play it, and we hope that the fans enjoy it as much as we did.

The Trinigy Engine is the technical basis for many games and the latest version of the structure is one of the first to support DirectX 11. Besides the technical information we also have several screenshots of a tech demo of the Trinigy Engine that have been made with one of Ati’s DX 11 graphics cards.

Sun: 11.15.09 | 12:02P | Games | PermaLink

Revoltec started out their business in Germany back in 2003. The products from Revoltec are generally characterized by their originality. They often carry innovations which you will not find elsewhere. Revoltec’s main business area has up till recently been their case modding products, but things are changing and they now have a respectable setup of input devices in their catalog…

Logitech G19 Keyboard for Gaming
Wed: 11.04.09 | 9:01A | Games | PermaLink
Posted by: STAFF
"Obviously the G19 keyboard is very customizable. The keyboard has 12 macro keys, an LCD screen that can be set to display a wealth of information, and a backlight that can display most any color, although some colors display better than others. Additionally, the ability to change between three profiles at the touch of a button is key. If you have several games you switch between, you can make three separate profiles, complete with different backlight colors, to handle all your custom key macros."

Rise of the Online Gaming PC @ LanOC Reviews
Sun: 11.01.09 | 4:01P | Games | PermaLink
Posted by: STAFF
Multi-player game play has been a feature of video games that has seen as much of an evolution as the industry itself. It's existed since the early days of the Atari, but recently with the new wave of hardware and software advancements, we've seen both consumers and developers alike scrambling to put together the best multi-player experience possible. Partnered with new Internet connection speeds that are more readily available to the mass public than ever before, the possibilities are indeed endless.

Mionix Saiph 1800 Gaming Mouse Review
Wed: 10.28.09 | 12:01P | Games | PermaLink
Posted by: STAFF
Overclockershq review of Mionix 1800 Saiph gaming mouse. Macro functions, dpi adjustablility and colour coordination with each dpi setting. This is what our simple computer mouse has advanced too. There are whole worlds out there in gaming, with so many activities in each, you need an advanced mouse. I played some of these 1st person games and role playing games without the aid of an advanced mouse. I could not believe the joy it brought me the first time I tried this new breed of gaming mouse. There is more... Check out my enjoyable review of this piece of hardware.

Madden NFL 10-360 Review
Fri: 10.16.09 | 12:00P | Games | PermaLink
Posted by: STAFF
I know every year Madden wins awards and everyone raves. This year, you have to give the nod to the developers at EA for this title. If it wasn't for the fact that sports titles do not normally win game of the year, this would be a game of the year canidate. Strap on your helmet( yeah maybe I wear a helmet when I play the game),Open up that DVD drive, plop in Madden 10 and feel and experience what a game, especially a football game should be like. Props to Electronic Arts for making another experience breaking game and adding more enjoyment to the gaming experience.

Two years in the making, the first professional grade gaming mouse from CM Storm, the Sentinel Advance, makes its debut on the world scene.

AVA Direct Custom GT3 SFF Gaming System
Thu: 10.08.09 | 12:00P | Games | PermaLink
Posted by: STAFF
AVA Direct's custom GT3 series is aimed squarely at the LAN party gamer, and won't throw out your back with its diminutive size and weight. It's built with portability in mind; the case is small, it comes with a handle and the thing weighs less than 20 pounds. And because it's custom, you can build it up as you please at AVA Direct's Web site. Finally, due to the fact that the GT3 is more a tiny desktop than a true SFF (Small Form Factor) machine, in theory, it shouldn't sacrifice much power for the sake of portability...

A plastic tactical helmet for gaming because you want to remain a Virgin for the rest of your life.

"Three things are very important when you enter the virtual battlefield; the ability to hear your enemy's foot steps, the ability to communicate with your fellow combatants, and protection from a flying energy drink can when you frag the guy two rows away from you. I know you are all thinking... does such a thing exist? It does now my friends. Allow me to introduce the Gameskulls G-1 Tactical Gaming Helmet. And at $69.95 this kind of protection comes cheap, much cheaper than the lunch money pilfered off you in school all those years... nerd. Bet you wish you had this helmet back then, I know I do..."

Posted by: STAFF
A few weeks ago when I was getting ready to review the Evolution from Playseats I was on the hunt to find a Steering wheel to test with it. Thrustmaster was kind enough to send their RGT Force Feedback Clutch out to use with it. After a few weeks of pretending I’m the Stig I was finally able to pull myself away long enough to do some work. After all they didn’t just send it to me for me to have fun.

Gaming grade peripherals have always been the crème de la crème when it comes to mice, keyboards, etc. But is there that much of a difference to be had between different peripheral manufacturers? There are a few things which are apparent even before testing – aesthetics and price. So let’s take a look at one competitor, the OCZ Behemoth.”

Razer Moray+ Mobile Gaming Communicator
Wed: 09.23.09 | 9:03A | Games | PermaLink
Posted by: STAFF
"Towards the end of last year, Rutledge reviewed the Razer Moray In-Ear Headphones, a set of light weight earbuds perfect for those gamers on the go. While also offering compatibility with all sorts of mobile devices, such as multimedia cell phones, MP3 players and personal game consoles, the Moray could also be used on a PC with the included adapter. However times have changed, technology has advanced, and gamers demand more. Wouldn't it be great if they would make a set of travel buds with an inline mic so you could frag on the go and still communicate with the rest of your clan? Or how about being able to call your virtual dog's name or blow on a hot dish, fresh out of the oven without having to talk directly into the screen of your DS? Razer has you covered, as they release the Moray+ mobile gaming communicator."
