AZIO GM-2000 Gaming Mouse Review @ Hardware Canucks
|
|
With a lack of software and a mostly standard design AZIO`s new $40 GM-2000 gaming mouse takes a basic, no-frills approach which is somewhat refreshing in a market cluttered with overly complicated competitors. However, will its simple plug and play functionality ultimately turn gamers off due to a lack of customization options?"

I feel no hesitation in giving this game a 5 star rating all across the board. I could easily play it again and again. The casting is spot-on. The gameplay is nothing short of flawless.

Hell Hath No Fury: Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm Reviewed:
|
|
When Blizzard announced that they were splitting Starcraft II into three titles, Wings of Liberty, Heart of the Swarm, and Legacy of the Void, the general reaction from fans was controversial. The fear was that Blizzard would pad out the contents of each game with busywork missions and red-herring plot devices, while charging full price for each. The company later clarified that the second campaigns would be priced like expansion packs.
Heart of the Swarm is the first chance we've had to see if Blizzard's expansion strategy would result in the same quality of game play. Wings of Liberty (WoL) launched at $59, while Heart of the Storm (HotS) is $39.
That $39 buys you 20 main missions and 7 "Evolutionary" missions, plus the multiplayer maps and Arcade. All in all, it's a pretty good deal but of course, we had questions...

Razer DeathAdder Left-Hand Edition Review
|
|
The Razer DeathAdder is now my day to day workhouse, brought in to replace an ageing Razer Copperhead. The left-handed design was a big draw and I don’t regret the decision – there really is a great lack of attention spent on left-handed peripherals from manufacturers. Ignoring the feature set and technical spec’s for a moment, it’s raw performance was exactly what I was looking for and in many ways expected.

Three years having passed since BioShock 2 and the dawn of a new console generation on the horizon, BioShock Infinite has taken the opportunity to mix things up. Along with DX11 effects, folks playing on PC can look forward to higher resolution textures and a healthy range of customization over settings like anti-aliasing, texture detail and filtering, dynamic shadows, post-processing, and so on.
Our Bioshock Infinite test comprises 24 DirectX 11 graphics card configurations from AMD and Nvidia covering a wide range of prices, from the affordable to the ultra-expensive.

ROCCAT Isku FX Review @ Vortez
|
|
Through the use of Easy-Shift the Isku FX has a frankly ridiculous 36 macro buttons available, including three specifically for the thumb, and unlocks the potential of the Kone XTD, Pure and [+] by allowing activation of Easy-Shift mode on those devices. At its core however it remains a membrane-based keyboard, and so must be judge in the understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of this particular switch type."

Unigine Oil Rush for Android Review @ Hi Tech Legion
|
|
Unigine has developed a version for Android devices based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chip. The mobile version offers a campaign mode that provides an immersive storyline that the modern world can relate to. The storyline mode features four chapters of battles with a technology tree that builds as the story progresses. Oil Rush is fully compatible with touch screens and features intuitive touch controls. The gameplay uses group control to move units. The goal of this control style is to reduce the micromanagement of a typical RTS game. At the same time, it is necessary to think and react fast to keep up with the combat in Oil Rush."

Starcraft II Heart of The Swarm Launch Event
|
|
Blizzard has a special was of not just launching a new game but making it an experience. After being at the Heart of the Swarm event mere years ago I can say this not only stepped up the game but blew it off the map as the new Starcraft II Heart of The Swarm midnight launch was more of a festival or celebration than your standard launch event."
