How to Protect Your Eyes While Gaming 
The Tech Zone :: Monday, August 14, 2006
Video and Computer games have taken the world by storm. Studies in 2006 reveal that kids and other gamers play for at least 5-10 hours a week and sometimes much longer. Sales of games indicate their popularity. Flash graphics, rapid-fire movements, and long hours at the console result in health problems like muscle and eye strain. Common ailments resulting from gaming are: lateral epicondylitis, tendonitis, bursitis, and carpel tunnel syndrome among others.

Hexus :: Monday, August 14, 2006
Many of the objectives involve completing tasks for others, making you feel like the trodden-on errand boy.

XS Reviews :: Monday, August 14, 2006
“Continuing in my recent fashion for gaming accessory reviews, today I have the Zboard Fang to take a gander at. This board seems to be (As the WolfClaw devour is also) the gaming part of the original Zboard, sliced off from the keyboard section and packaged up ready as a standalone product. Today I am going to test this board with a few games from different genres. These games have all been gifted with Fang Keysets, so lets see how they do.”

Episodic Content and Online Distribution
Think Gaming :: Monday, August 14, 2006
“With the recent release of Half-Life 2: Episode 1 and the announcement of Half-Life 2: Episode 2 it is clear that Valve is seriously trying to push the episodic content for their games. Although this may seem like a new and fresh idea with unlimited profit potential this may also generate a backslash in the gaming community.”

I found City Life very enjoyable and very easy to play, there are many options and features that make the game have a high replay value.”

We’ve got a PS3 – and here it is rubbing shoulders with Xbox 360 for the first time ever!

Created by Sony as an accurately proportioned replica, the PS3 model may be made entirely from wood, but it takes more than a cursory glance to realise that it’s not the genuine article and gave us a good impression of what the Sony powerhouse will look like nestling next to our TV.

Day of Defeat : Source Review
Game Pyre :: Thursday, August 10, 2006
Day of Defeat: Source definitely doesn’t disappoint. Though its hard to be too original with the same World War 2 type of game this game is really successful in creating fun and exciting battles. Once you figure it out, knowing what your team needs when and where they need it is what you will be thinking about once you have this game under your belt. No real fluff or confusion here, just a smart, solid shooter
