    Gaming Headphones: Does surround sound really exist?

    I'm in the market for a nice pair of gaming headphones. I've heard great things about the Sennheiser HD-555. I'm sure they produce great quality sound. However, I would like a surround sound set, but does that even truly exist? I've heard the X-Fi sound cards do a great job of emulating...

    Video Games - The Ultimate Art Form

    I hope at least three people will take the time to read my whole essay. If you paint pictures, whether they are as magnificent as the Sistine Chapel ceiling or as idiotic as a single red dot on a white canvas, with some exaggerated explanation of its true meaning, you are an artist. If you...

    GTAIV - Which console to buy for?

    I have both PS3 and Xbox360. I am going to pre-order GTAIV soon but not sure which console to buy it for. I am assuming there will be more people buying it for Xbox360 and thus more people playing it over Xbox Live. So, I am leaning more towards Xbox unless someone can persuade me otherwise?

    I can't stomach Gateway customer service

    Gateway has to have the most horrible customer and technical support ever! I wanted to get a replacement remote control for my XHD3000 and they are telling me that its a non-replaceable item and that I can't get a new one...ever. Does that make any sense to anyone?
