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.”

PS3, Wii Pre-Order Woes 
Cool Tech Zone :: Sunday, October 22, 2006
“EB Games stores that were not situated in malls opened early at 8:30AM specifically for pre-ordering. We arrived on the scene at 7:00AM (we would have been there earlier, but there was news to be done) to find about a dozen gamers standing outside in the cold. 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.”

Battlefield 2142 Demo
NGO HQ :: Tuesday, October 10, 2006

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
Club Overclocker :: Tuesday, October 10, 2006
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.
