    S.T.A.L.K.E.R : Lost Alpha news

    The long awaited mod to STALKER:SoC is being released April 26. It's not the commercial,GSC backed release the developers had been hoping for,due to the actions of some jackass who leaked an earlier build,but at least we'll soon get the chance to get back to the Zone...

    Can anyone suggest a good game controller for the Asus Transformer tablet? Got one for my son for Christmas,and thought an arcade type controller would be a good add on. Thought the ION iCADE cabinet would be a nice one,but I can't seem to find any clear info on whether it would work on an...

    Just installed a GTX 680 in my system and I'm having problems with Windows hanging up on boot up. I'm using Vista Home Premium 64. It gets as far as the loading bar,then all I get is a blank screen with the mouse pointer. I can run Windows in Safe Mode,it detects the GTX 680,and I tried...

    More BS from a "veteran" designer

    Anyone see this interview? http://www.shacknews.com/article/69784/single-player-only-games-gone-in-three-years-says-veteran My opinion is the guy is an idiot. And a lazy idiot at that. Multi-player games don't require the effort,time,or creativity that single player games do,since most people...

    Are there any mods out there for Fallout 3 that add new missions that are worth trying out? I've just about finished all the DLC's released and wondered if there were any really good ones before I move on to New Vegas.

    Fallout 3 Sniper mod?

    Has anyone found a mod that works that corrects the constant crosshair swaying when using scoped weapons? It's the one thing in the game that annoys me,even with high weapons skills the sniper rifle shakes too much to be of much value.

But I'd like to get the best performance possible with this card before upgrading becomes necessary. Which driver set is the most effective...

    Street Fighter Legacy?

    Has anyone caught this on YouTube? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2ZXSzaUIBQ For a fan made film it's pretty good,at only 3 minutes in length they capture more of the game's look and spirit than both of the awful adaptations Hollywood put out combined.

    Removing Antec 1200 filters?

    Anyone know where I can find detailed instructions for removing the front air filters for cleaning? I bought my system pre-built,and the Antec manual is next to useless.This case has so many screws everywhere and the manual is too vague to know which ones to remove.

The program itself has no uninstall option,and it doesn't show up anywhere on the list with Vista's "remove software" option.I...

    4870 1GB or 260 Core 216?

    Trying to decide on a card for a new system.Both of these cards are in the price range I'm looking for,and are too close in performance to make a real difference,so I'll look at other factors.From what I've seen,the 4870 temps are such that I'd probably want something better than the standard...

    Question on IP35 PRO

    I'm planning on pairing this board with a Q6700 and Corsair Dominator DDR2 1066 memory.Though it only officially supports DDR2 800 ram,I've heard that unofficially it can run 1066 ram with no problem.How true is this?

    Best 20" LCD?

    Abit QuadGT x38 ?

    I'm trying to decide on a board for a Q9450.I liked the feedback that the IP35Pro was getting with the Q6600,but it may not be the best as far as overclocking goes with the 9450 due to it's lower multiplier.I've seen very little buzz on the QuadGT,does it live up the Pro's performance?Am I right...

    Q9450 at AVA - Ouch!

    I was waiting for the Q9450 to become available in systems at AVA,I knew they'd be more expensive than the Q6600 - but $360 more?At their pricing for the 6600,that makes it $660! Guess I'll have to go back to choosing between the 6600 or E8400.:(

    Gaming keyboard for left handers?

    Are there any good gaming keyboards out there for left handers?Standard keyboards have the directional keys on the right side,which works for me since I use the mouse left handed.But all the good gaming keyboards I've seen have the directional and other gaming specific keys on the left side.

    OCZ or Corsair ?

    I'm planning a new Core 2 system,most likely with the eVGA 680i board(if the SATA issues appear to be fixed). My choices for memory are OCZ or CORSAIR,is there a clear difference in quality and dependability between the two,or any issues with Core 2 compatability?
