Crysis Benchmarking Guide 
Tech ARP :: Sunday, January 06, 2008
“At this moment, Crysis is the toughest test you can subject any graphics card to. It requires so much graphics processing power that it humbles even new graphics cards like the GeForce 8800 GT and the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB graphics card. As such, it serves as a great benchmark for graphics cards (as well as CPUs).”

The 2007 Review – A Year of PC Gaming
YouGamers :: Friday, January 04, 2008
“Naturally, 2007 kicked off with a multitude of previews, from various publishers, about their forthcoming titles such as BioShock, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, Hellgate: London, and so on. But it was all a bit… well, boring. Even the “amazing” news that Unreal Tournament 2007 would be called Unreal Tournament 3 instead did little to liven things up. So that task was dumped on the doorstep of Blizzard, who picked it up and ran away like a three year old after eating too much sherbet; and to reward us all, they gave us World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. The general press had probably not seen anything like the kind of advertising Blizzard did for WoW:BC but it made a lot of people happy, and the developers a lot wealthier (but not wealthy enough for Vivendi, it would seem – see later on). At the megabig Consumer Electronics Show, Bill Gates showed us DirectX 10, Windows Vista and Games for Windows Live… to thunderous silence.”

Kane and Lynch (PC)
Gaming Heaven :: Wednesday, January 02, 2008
Kane & Lynch: Dead Men comes to you from IO Interactive, the creator of the popular Hitman game series. After four titles in a row for that series, IO have tried something different: a disturbing tale of two desperate convicts on a murderous rampage. Where Hitman was all about stealth and disguise, rewarding missions that were carried out unseen and unheard, in Kane & Lynch you make a lot of noise and spill a lot of blood.
Super Mario Galaxy Review
Bona Fide Reviews :: Wednesday, January 02, 2008
In fact, just about the only clichéd thing about the game is the story – which is almost exactly the same as every other Mario title in existence: Mario’s love interest, Princess Peach, has been kidnapped by the evil Bowser, meaning that the plump plumber must embark upon an epic journey across many different locations filled with devious platforming challenges to save her. No surprises there. The twist is that this time, Bowser’s taken Peach into outer space, so Mario’s quest will require him to visit extraterrestrial venues.
Need for Speed ProStreet (PC) review
YouGamers :: Wednesday, January 02, 2008
“To actually play the game without any slowdowns that tend to lead to crashes, you need a considerably faster system. NFS ProStreet seems to tax both the video card and the CPU, and both need to be up to a reasonably modern spec to allow smooth play with consistent 30fps+ at 1024×768 or 1280×1024 resolutions. While lower frame rates are fine with some genres, you simply can’t take an fps dip while zooming down a track at 300km/h+, or you’ll end up as a twisted wreck. In the case of ProStreet it’s even more important as the driving physics seem to be synced to the frame rate, so if the game stutters constantly, it becomes impossible to drive. This is probably also the underlying reason for numerous complaints about the ProStreet handling – in reality it handles fine as long as the fps figures stay constant.”
