HIS ATI Radeon X1300
LAN Addict :: Monday, May 08, 2006
So you can see that HIS’s implementation of the ATI X1300 series card kicks for its category and price range. Not to mention the silent passive cooling is a treat. This is a great card for a gamer that has a system on a budget and wants a performance boost over their current system. Add to that the bundled CD of extras and it gives you a great package.

Auto Assault Review
Strategy Informer :: Monday, May 08, 2006
What grand fun it is, tearing about the planes in your vehicle, fetchingly colored to suit your tastes, and killing various creatures for points. It’s post apocalyptic fun for all the family, as three factions vy for control of an earth that’s probably not worth having anyway. You see, everything has gone to hell, as tends to happen in post apocalyptic scenarios, and the planet is now populated with various xenophobic factions who wish nothing much but death upon one another. The humans, who remain genetically pure are super keen to preserve the purity of the human genome (remind us of anyone with a funny little mustache?) The mutants, who embrace their mutancy and think they’re pretty awesome, and the biomechanical race who have merged technology and humanity to create a new form of life altogether.

Nintendo Wii – What’s In A Name?
The Tech Zone :: Tuesday, May 02, 2006
Nintendo has placed itself at a marketing disadvantage with this decision because they will have to sell the name to consumers. The name is not self-explanatory and people will have to hear the little story behind the name to really understand it. Names like Playstation, Xbox, and Gamecube are all fairly easy for people to grasp because they know it’s a station, box, or cube plays games. But what is a Wii?

: “The media around the world already covered it and revealed all these issues many months ago. Creative even confirmed some of these issues. Today after many months, we did a little research to find out what has happened since then. We found out that only a few manufacturers have released BIOS updates to solve some of these issues. Creative has made a mysterious firmware upgrade that cannot be found on their website, and some users claimed it killed their card. According to users in their forums, most of the effected consumers are STILL having issues with the X-Fi series.”

At the official Valve store, you can now purchase this adorable plush headcrab to add to your collection of Half-Life memorabilia (nerd).

But regardless, we know you’re just going to end up hurling it at unsuspecting victims whilst screeching at the top of your lungs.

Nintendo’s Thunder
Bona Fide Reviews :: Tuesday, May 02, 2006
BOOM. That’s the sound of Nintendo’s recent announcement of their next console’s official name spreading across the Internet. In case you have been under a rock the past week or so, Nintendo’s next console, formerly known as the “Revolution”, is now called “Wii”. My personal thoughts on the name later. Regardless of the name change, I still believe Nintendo is in a great position with their console to make a serious run at regaining the throne of console gaming.
