    ION 2 Expected By The End Of Year?

    Well I guess more GPU power is always a nice thing to have, but Atom isn't a gaming platform, despite ION or ION 2.

    Celebrities Sell Games Better Than Game Reviewers?

    I think the fact that the Guitar Hero brand had a signficant headstart on Rock Band is far more important than the fact that Guitar Hero commercials featured celebrities. Guitar Hero was already well known as the "original" popular music game, with both Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero II having...

    MSI Releases N260GTX Lightning for Military Grade Performance

    I've seen some pretty stupid marketing BS for graphics cards, but this has to take the cake. Are there really people out there who fall for this kind of crap?

    10 Most Disappointing Games of 2008

    More people are playing CoD:WaW on Xbox Live than Gears of War 2, Call of Duty 4, or Left 4 Dead. Don't ask me why Halo 3 is at the top. From Major Nelson's blog: http://majornelson.com/archive/2008/12/09/live-activity-for-week-of-december-1st-now-with-community-games.aspx Xbox 360 Top...

    10 Most Disappointing Games of 2008

    Yes, Call of Duty: World at War rips off from CoD4: Modern Warfare quite a bit, but that's a good thing. It's got fantastic and addictive multiplayer, co-op, and the bonus Nazi Zombie mode. It've been playing it more than Gears of War 2, Fable 2, or even Fallout 3. Left 4 Dead should win...

    Scaling works, but not at 640x480?

    I was having the same problem getting Diablo (the original) to display correctly at its only resolution of 640x480 on my HP w2408h monitor using an Nvidia Geforce 6800GT under Windows XP. The lowest resolution offered in the standard Windows desktop resolution slider was 800x600, and the game...

    At what price is the GTX 280 a good buy?

    The GTX 280 should be priced about the same as the 9800 GX2, since they have about the same overall performance. So that would mean the GTX 280 should be around $450 at the most, IMHO.

    2 4850 or 1 4870 ?

    On a 22-inch monitor at 1680x1050 max resolution, you shouldn't really need more than one 4870 for current games. Personally, I would go with the 4870, and then you can still add another one in a year or two for cheap without having to sell off your 4850's. Also, remember that some games...

    Physics API war: AMD + Havok vs. Nvidia + PhysX vs. Intel Larrabee + Havok

    This whole physics on the GPU war is going to be very interesting. It reminds me of the old 3dfx Glide vs. MS DirectX vs. OpenGL war. Glide was proprietary to 3dfx Voodoo cards, while OpenGL and DirectX were freely available to all GPU makers to support. 3dfx's Glide remained popular only as...

    Fewer Students Pursue Computer-Related Degrees

    I think a big contributing factor is the efforts by American companies to suppress IT wages through outsourcing to foreign countries and importing foreign employees with H1B visas who then become like indentured servants because the company's visa sponsorship is all that allows them to stay in...

    HP w2207h / w2408h opinion for gaming

    After using my w2408h for a couple of weeks now, I can tell you that the brightness is set too high at the default setting (90). Even if you use the ambient light sensor, it still selects a too-bright setting in even a moderately lit room. So what I do now is I use the ambient light sensor...

    Do you remember your first graphics card?

    I had two computers before the era of 3D video acceleration. My first machine was a Tandy 1000 EX with an Intel 8088 processor and a 5 1/4 inch floppy running MS-DOS (no hard drive, and no idea what the video comonents were, except that it supported an amazing 16 colors). The Tandy lasted me...

    MGS 4 Has Several 90 Minute Cutscenes

    I predicted that this oft-delayed, overhyped game would suck big fat donkeyballs, and this news of 90-minute cutscenes only makes me more confident in my prediction. If Kojima wants to make CG movies, why doesn't he go make them and release them in theaters and on DVD. My guess is because then...
