Inno3D GeForce 7300GT Review SLi
AusFX :: Tuesday, August 22, 2006
“Don’t let the 7300 name fool you, it’s nothing like the 7300GS variant. It literally smashed it clean out of the water, in many cases doubling its performance and in some cases, tripling. When paired up, two 7300GT’s make for excellent performing graphics cards, and is competitive with higher cards of today’s market. It copes very well with antialiasing and anisotropic filtering sliders at maximum setting, which reflects the fact that a lot of users are now turning to removing the ‘jaggies’ from their games to increase aesthetic appeal and even playability.”

“The Gainward Bliss Golden Sample 7300 GT “Silent FX” is based on nVidia’s lower-end 7300 chip. Gainward have implemented a noise free solution on this card, making it ideal for HTPC use or perhaps a more powerful budget office PC where silence is a must.”

Titan Quest—THQ 
Home Theater Mag :: Sunday, August 20, 2006
This classical-age adventure calls for a hero of mythic scope. As a fit and bronzed (age) warrior, you’re ready for a journey that would leave even Hercules or Xena by the wayside. Often, action role-playing games draw inspiration from the canon of Dungeons and Dragons or Lord of the Rings, where you’re likely to face off against fantastical creatures like elves, dragons and orcs. Titan Quest instead draws its plotline from ancient Greek mythology, with an original story of legendary proportions

Rockstar Table Tennis
Primo Technology :: Saturday, August 19, 2006
never thought that one of the 360’s prime sports games would be the simulation of an activity I spent my youth partaking in: ping pong. Yet, Rockstar, the rebel studio behind the Grand Theft Auto series, has given us Table Tennis, one of the most intriguing and original sports simulations released in years.
PREY (PC & XBOX) review
Driver Heaven :: Saturday, August 19, 2006
“For those of you that have been living under a rock for the last year, Prey follows the story of a Cherokee named Tommy who refuses to accept his heritage. After his people are abducted by alien forces, it’s up to him to save the planet from sure destruction. Unlike other shooters, Prey lets the gamer manipulate gravity, pass through portal systems, walk on walls, and even travel around in a spirit form. By combining old Cherokee mythology with an alien invasion, it’s obvious that Prey is different from every other title out there.”

Logitech Premium USB Headset 350 Review
The Tech Zone :: Saturday, August 19, 2006
The plug-and-play USB connection and soft-touch in-line volume and mute controls deliver convenience and simplicity.

HardOCP: Xbox360 Roadmap Peeked At
HardICP :: Friday, August 18, 2006
We here at HardOCP got a chance to take a gander at the tentative Xbox360 roadmap last week. Here are some of the goodies that are in store.
1. A holiday HD-DVD Xbox360 add-on that will be very inexpensive (around the $200 mark) and is rumored to only require component inputs. No HDMI in sight. This would of course point the finger to no HDCP being used on initial HD-DVD movie disks as expected. 2. For you folks that are buying the new 1080P panels that are now on the market, have no fear, as the Xbox360 looks to already support 1080P resolutions. All that will need to be changed is the connecting cable. Little more information is known on this or if there will be a gaming performance impact. 3. Xbox360 meets Media Center for next year? While the details on this product are certainly few, the concept is a project that is moving forward at Microsoft. The next Xbox360 facelift will be a product that really blurs the lines between HTPC and gaming console. While this is not a term that Microsoft used, the Xbox360 will be seeing an added on “media jukebox” for handling tons of movies, video, pictures, and music.
