Next Gen Gaming- Why the Stats Don’t Matter
XYZ Computing :: Tuesday, October 31, 2006
With the next console war about to take place there is rampant chatter about their every aspect, from design to price to performance. One of the most interesting areas of discussion has had to do with the technologies inside each of the systems. This is the case because of the large disparities in technology between the Sony Playstation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii. While the gear inside a console certainly has an impact on the playing experience, many writers are putting entirely too much emphasis on these specifications. If other head-to-head system competitions, like the PSP versus the Gameboy DS, have taught us anything, it is that technology is not always a determining factor to gamers.
Game Components Then and Now – Part 2
Driver Heaven :: Tuesday, October 31, 2006
Welcome back! Last time we took a closer look at how stories and storytelling evolved through the years. This time we’ll take a look at something more interesting – the graphics. This subject can be both insanely interesting and dauntingly boring depending on the way we look at it. For this article we’ll try to avoid the boring technical terms and look at the changes from a more relaxed perspective, so expect lots of pictures and possibly even more observations.

New Crysis Video!!
Hard OCP :: Sunday, October 29, 2006
This new video showcases many new Crysis gameplay features and gives a very detailed look at the environments and outlines the story line as well. I think many companies are counting on Crysis as being “the” title to truly kick off DX10 and Windows Vista while being an exciting motivation for more enthusiasts to upgrade their hardware. To put it in technical terms, it looks like the upcoming Crysis is going to kick some serious ass.
Gothic 3 (PC) review
Driver Heaven :: Sunday, October 29, 2006
“Older RPG players will remember that about 10 years ago buying a cRPG meant getting a box filled with goodies. Besides getting the game and a 10lb manual (not exaggerating by much here as some manuals had over 300 pages) the buyer often received items like cloth maps and figurines. With the years and the switch to DVD box sizes such extras became sparse and today getting anything more than a 10 page manual is rare. For people who liked all those maps and lore books that were also a common extra item this would be a sad time if it weren’t for collector’s editions (CE) of games. These editions usually deliver similar items as the games of the past. When opening a CE box there is an added thrill of laying eyes on cool collectables that users who purchase the regular version don’t get.”
Shadowrun: Breaking Down the Wall
Bytesector :: Sunday, October 29, 2006
“In early 2007, Shadowrun will be available and Xbox 360 gamers will be joined for the first time ever by PC users in the online Xbox Live environment. According to John Howard, a member of the FASA Interactive team at X’06, there are a lot of seemingly insurmountable obstacles that have prevented an interaction between PCs and consoles. Before FASA Interactive’s Shadowrun, no company had even made a solid attempt – which makes this first-person multiplayer shooter a real trailblazer. ”

Pirates of the Atlantic PC Game Review
DragonSteel Mods :: Monday, October 23, 2006
” Avast ye matey, Thar be Pirates off the port bow! Today for review I have a very cool little game from our friends at VGSmart and Kristanix, it is called Pirates of the Atlantic. This game is really fun to play and can be quite an addictive way to pass the time. The basic premise is to shoot the pirates that are attacking your fortress. By destroying the pirates you can earn gold to buy upgrades like more life, more balls, more damage, and ball speed. ”
A First Look at Call of Duty 3
Bytesector :: Monday, October 23, 2006
“Once a year, Microsoft holds a gaming event so big that only the best of the best are invited. On Wednesday, October 18, 2006, X’06 took place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and all I can say is WOW! One of the games being showcased by Activision is the long awaited Call of Duty 3, the sequel to Call of Duty 2. Naturally, being an Xbox 360 event, I got to play Call of Duty 3 on an Xbox 360. No holds barred, this game blew me away. ”

A First Look at Gears of War
Bytesector :: Monday, October 23, 2006
“You might need to bring a towel to wipe off the blood and gore splattered around in Gears of War, but that won’t bother you for long. At X’06 Canada this year, Bytesector had the privilege of getting a sneak peek of Epic Games’ new masterpiece. It was messy, but not in a “my kitchen needs cleaning” sort of way–more like a wild work of art with grit, blood and dirt as the medium. It looks as though Gears of War is going to live up to the massive amount of hype and momentum it has already given way to, and Epic’s Art Director, Jerry O’Flaherty agrees.”

Ultimate Ghosts ‘n Goblins (PSP) review
Driver Heaven :: Monday, October 23, 2006
“It’s been over twenty years since the original Ghosts ‘N Goblins first made an appearance in the arcade scene, and after all this time Capcom decided that they would bring back this medieval side scroller with the release of Ultimate Ghosts ‘N Goblins on the Sony PSP. When the Princess Prin Prin was captured, it’s up to the legendary knight Arthur to overcome a whole slew of inventive monsters on his heroic quest. Featuring a revamped item system, tons of new battle weapons, and three difficulty levels to choose from, Ultimate GNG on the PSP is a satisfactory remake of a classic game.”

Zalman Fatal1ty FC-ZE1 Computer Case Review
Tweaknews :: Sunday, October 22, 2006
“Zalman’s association with Johnathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel has yielded yet another outstanding product. The FC-ZE1 Champion Series computer enclosure is a superb chassis with great aesthetics and the performance to back it up. The design, quality, craftsmanship and materials brought to bear in the creation of this chassis are second to none and culminate in a product that is, in my opinion, without peer. The design elements in combination with a rich, innovative feature set make installation a breeze and allow the case to exhibit great cooling performance while keeping noise to a minimum.”
Apacer Audio Steno AU822
Tech-Gear :: Sunday, October 22, 2006
Today we take a look at Apacer’s Audio Steno AU822 Mp3 Player. “Overall we’re quite pleased but at the same time quite disappointed with the AU822, there are so many things wrong with it and yet it offers so many cool features at the same time. The player is very slow and responds with delays while playing back videos or music. Navigating through the menus and doing something as simple playing back an mp3 can be quite a hellish experience.”

Some had brought their own foldable chairs along with blankets for warmth. ”

Why Wii’s a Winner
Digital Trends :: Monday, October 16, 2006
“Put aside the obvious: Given GameCube’s piddling market share (hovering around 15% of the total sector) and universal lack of third-party support, there’s nowhere for the company to go but up. Ignore expert commentary as well. I believe doom and gloom forecasts such as analyst firm the Yankee Group’s recent prediction that Wii – the Japanese giant’s new motion-sensing machine – will sell 11 million units by 2011, boosting its share to just 16%, are fundamentally flawed. Let’s do a little common-sense analysis. At just $249.99 (as compared to $299 or $499 minimum, respectively, for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3), price point alone proves a huge differentiator. ”
Company of Heroes (PC)
Driver Heaven :: Monday, October 16, 2006
Although World War II might have officially ended September 2nd 1945, millions of people are still fighting it out everyday on virtual battlefields. Video game series like Call of Duty, Medal of Honor and Commandos have all enjoyed phenomenal success by depicting the most memorable and infamous moments during the war. Invading Normandy on D-Day through the eyes of a solider is an exhilarating experience that can only be relived via these different games. However, one thing that is rarely represented in most World War II series is the strategic finesse required to win battles against overwhelming odds. While the Commandoes franchise does necessitate tactics and strategy, it’s only on a small scale since you never end up controlling more than four or five men at a time. But all that was about to change when the Relic Entertainment unveiled the revolutionary World War II based RTS game called Company of Heroes.

Test Drive Unlimited (XBOX 360) review
Driver Heaven :: Wednesday, October 11, 2006
“The Xbox 360 is all about expanding on the sense of a gaming community by bringing players together through Xbox Live, and it was inevitable that somewhere along the way a seamless integration of single player and multiplayer aspects would be blended into one. With that being said, Test Drive Unlimited on the Xbox 360 is a massively open online racing (MOOR) racing game that brings a whole slew of new concepts to the racing genre. Taking place across the picturesque island of Oahu, TDU delivers an addicting racing experience that can keep gamers busy for hours on end.”

Pile and Pop PC Game Review
Dragonsteel Mods :: Tuesday, October 10, 2006
” I love games, all sorts of games, that’s one of the reasons why you see quite a few game reviews here on DSM. The other reason is that I like to support the ‘little guy’, the little software companies out there that actually produce some great games. These games are considered ‘indie’ games, and a lot of them are very much worth the money, they are very playable and actually really cool. So today for review I have Pile and Pop from Bit Bliss Studios, there are lots of in game clips so sit back and enjoy… ”
Xbox 360 Buyer’s Guide
Think Gaming :: Tuesday, October 10, 2006
“When Xbox 360 was released last November it was one of the holiday’s biggest sellers. It was the first Next-gen gaming console to be released before Sony’s Playstation 3 and Nintendo’s Wii. The Xbox 360 gave gamers a good idea of what to expect from Next-gen games, and almost anyone you talk to is still excited about the console. It is still currently the most powerful home console available, providing an unprecedented level of graphics and immersion. Today we will be going through some of the essentials and extra’s you may want to pickup when purchasing an Xbox 360.”
Cyber Snipa Ultimate PC Gamepad 2

Last year Flexiglow released one of my favorite products of all time called the Cyber Snipa Ultimate PC Gamepad. I gave it ClubOC’s highest rating and raved on about it to my friends for months. In fact I’ve been using it for all my First Person Shooter gaming needs. Well, that was up until now… Now Cyber Snipa has just released the Ultimate PC Gamepad Version 2! This baby is designed exclusively for hard core gamers just for hot FPS games like Battlefield, Doom, Half-Life, Call of Duty, Quake and so on. Anyone who has played FPS games for long periods of time will tell you that a standard keyboard is just too cramped for precision control and long term game play.

As a die-hard Star Wars fan I really enjoyed Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy. The game was true to the movies in many ways and true to the first Lego Star Wars game. If you enjoyed Lego Star Wars, you’ll definitely enjoy Lego Star Wars II. The game is on retail store shelves today for the low price of $29.99, very reasonable for what you get. Kids will love the look and feel of Lego Star Wars II, as there is no blood in the game.

The new BF2142 demo is based on a slightly improved version of the Battlefield 2 engine, and indeed also performs roughly the same as BF2 does. Although tweaking BF2142 is similar to BF2, there are several important differences, a range of changed commands, and of course a series of problems which people may not experience in other Battlefield games. Therefore I’ve prepared this Battlefield 2142 Tweak Guide to give you all the information you need to customize, optimize and troubleshoot BF2142 so you can experience the game as smoothly as possible.

Gaming: The Divine Medium
Primo Technology :: Monday, October 02, 2006
You might not agree with me when I say gaming is the most entertaining medium (although if you’re reading this, I think you might). What you can’t deny, however, is that it’s certainly the most ethereal.
Now, I’m not talking about the forthcoming onslaught of games with a strong Christian message, like the strategy title Left Behind: Eternal Forces, where players square off against the forces of Hell (like we haven’t seen that one before).
What I mean is this: Gaming is the only medium that can be considered “divine” because it is an exact mirror of life itself.
Saints Row Xbox 360 Review
Think Gaming :: Monday, October 02, 2006
“If you are reading this review then I’m guessing you have heard of Grand Theft Auto. Well the newly released Saints Row follows the same principles as GTA, drive fast cars and kill people! Besides those 2 things there are a ton of missions and activities to do in Stilwater as part of the Third Street Saints. Could this game be better the GTA? We will have to see.”
Bomberman (X360)
Driver Heaven :: Sunday, October 01, 2006
Originally, Bomberman was a cute little character that looked harmless at first, but as soon as he started dropping bombs his true power was revealed. On the Xbox 360, Bomberman is no longer a tiny guy running around with bombs, but instead you play as some sort of enslaved cyborg. The storyline is very vague, but basically your goal is to make it through 99 stages in succession in order to “make it to the top.” The story doesn’t really play into the game at all though because you never complete objectives. Instead, your goal is to conquer the grid battlefield before your enemies get the best of you.

Turtle Beach Earforce X2 Headphones Review
Boost Mobile Gaming :: Sunday, October 01, 2006
The term ‘hard core gamer’ is synonymous with things like ordering pizza, dilated eyeballs, and late night gaming sessions. For those gamers that live with their parents, or in a dorm room with a roommate, or even got married somehow along the way (and are amongst the 3% of gamers to actually have kissed a person of the opposite sex), late night gaming sessions can be a nuisance to those you cohabitate with. Tragically, gamers are forced to make a decision – either turn off the sound, or annoy everyone and keep the sound on (is there really a decision to be made here folks? OF COURSE we keep the sound on). Fortunately enough, Turtle Beach has released a product specifically designed for Xbox and Xbox 360 users with the Ear Force Wireless Xbox Headphones that solve this age-old problem.

Saitek Gaming Mouse Review
Overclockers Club :: Sunday, October 01, 2006
“Saitek is a well-known gaming peripheral company and I myself have reviewed a number of their products very favorably in the past. To date, I have dealt with the upper echelon in looking at the brilliant Flight Control Center and bombproof Eclipse keyboard. This time I will be taking a look at an affordable gaming mouse that can be found at prices ranging from 18 to 30 dollars.”
Company of Heroes videocard performance
Techspot :: Sunday, October 01, 2006
The new real-time strategy game set in WWII, Company of Heroes, delivers full cinematic detail, and in doing so, it requires quite a lot of processing power. With all the visual enhancements enabled, Company of Heroes looks stunning, easily making one of the best looking RTS games of all time. However, before purchasing this game or even considering a hardware upgrade, it will be important to know first if your computer will run it, and second how good it will actually look while at it. There is indeed a massive difference between low and high quality settings in CoH, suggesting older systems will still be able to run this title. But then again, having visual settings set at their maximum really does this game justice.
Company of Heroes Review
Gamepyre :: Sunday, October 01, 2006
I’m a big fan of the Real Time Strategy genre, with games like Command and Conquer Generals and Act of War two of my favorite games of all time. Does Company of Heroes fit the bill as a RTS game? I enjoyed the game to no end as the AI surprised me time and time again by pinning my troops or attacking from an undefended area of my base. The AI can prove to be a daunting enemy and one that will surprise and anger you from time to time. It can be a bit tedious and frustrating in the campaign on many levels as well as playing in the skirmish mode, when the AI just seems to overwhelm you.

Deep Ball Defender PC Game Review
DragonSteel Mods :: Sunday, October 01, 2006
” The title of this game just makes me grin every time I play it or write it out, I’m sure you understand why, just think about it… Anyway, besides that, this is one great little game, I actually started playing this game and the next thing I knew an hour had gone by. Deep Ball Defender is a combination of classics like Arknoid and Breakout, but it just seems more addictive, I found myself continuing to play just to see what was on the next screen. So, obviously, today for review I have Deep Ball Defender, courtesy of our friends at VGSmart and BD Studio Games. SO read on if you want to learn about a great little game that you can easily loose quite a bit of time playing…. ”
N3: 99 Nights (Xbox 360)
Driver Heaven :: Sunday, October 01, 2006
Button mashing games have been around for quite some time, but recently developers have tried to add various features to prevent such games from becoming monotonous in an instant. On the Xbox 360, Q Entertainment and Phantagram teamed up to release a title known as N3: Ninety-Nine Nights, which is essentially a button masher with a Japanese theme. Including special aspects such as a character leveling system, several distinct campaigns, and an unprecedented number of enemies all help N3 distinguish itself from the rest of the crowd, but it’s not without its fair share of flaws.
