The season of big game releases is rapidly coming and developers are already handing out games to publishers in order to have their creations reviewed. They want them to be ready to appear when the titles go on sale to determine people to buy them. They also send out certain notes and features list. These usually co... |

After playing quite a lot of the first game, I really had high expectations from the second one. But most of them were shot down by my first experience with this new shooter. First of all, it develops the story of Psycho, one of your fellow squad mates from the first game, and his chase after the North Korean G... |

It has come to our attention that Apple's recent changes with the App Store have actually been made to address developer misuse. Apple has rearranged the categories in its iTunes App Store, pulling aggregate categories to make room for the newest apps. This, however, doesn't include newly-updated apps.Appli... |

One of the (many) secrets of leading a balanced and successful life is to somehow manage to come up with a strict schedule and to really stick to it. On the other hand, you have to make sure that it is a realistic one, otherwise, you will never be able to accomplish all the tasks you set for yourself in due time - fo... |

We have to admit that, when we received the Siberian Tiger CPU Water Cooler from NorthQ, some investigation was required. That is because NorthQ isn’t among the biggest names in the computer hardware cooling market, where companies such as Thermaltake, Zalman, Cooler Master and other take the center stage frequ... |

First of all, let me just say that I really got into the Crysis hype at the beginning: I saw all the trailers, I downloaded all the pictures from Electronic Arts and Crytek, and, like any other gamer, I prayed that my PC would run the game. It was a sad day when I saw the official system requirements – I was br... |

Just a few hours ago, the Round Rock, Texas-based systems vendor was finally unveiling its first netbook ever, the highly anticipated Inspiron Mini 9. With all that, reports are coming in saying that it has already been tested and benchmarked, which somehow goes to prove that Dell has had it prepared for quite a whi... |

Whenever you get to hear that people are working on a classic point and click adventure game that will allow you to control no less than six different characters at given times to be able to proceed, you know that is a title worth waiting for. And this was exactly the reason I was eagerly anticipating Overclocked: A ... |

Taiwanese notebook manufacturer is reportedly misleading its Eee PC 900 reviewers by sending units rigged with higher-capacity battery packs than the commercially available Eee PC 900 models. The advent of the 9-inch Eee PC model is an important milestone on an already saturated UMPC market. Despite the fact that th... |

IntroductionRazer's latest gaming keyboard, the Lycosa, has been around ever since November 2007 and I was keen to get my hands on it for quite some time. The name "Lycosa" comes from a really mean-looking tarantula spider, which is located somewhere on the lands of Italy. So it seems that Razer meant to keep ou... |

Revival for PDA and Smartphones is a new turn-based military strategy game in the vein of Civilization, the now legendary game for desktop PC. Developed by HeroCraft, Revival is set to offer gamers many hours (or days) of both adventure and fun. Those familiar with strategy games probably won't find Revival t... |

Everybody loves a good laugh. Up to a certain point, it doesn't even matter what makes you laugh, as long as you have this great privilege, feel good and forget all your problems or troubles. Probably it's just our nature to associate happiness with laughing - but this topic is far away from my specializati... |

I must admit that I am a huge fan of the Lost series and ever since I saw the first episode I hoped that one day I would be able to live and enjoy a similar experience. Since plane crashes and most of the things that happen in the television series are completely out of my league, I found Ubisoft's decision to w... |

Brilliance. That is the first word that crosses my mind when I think about The Experiment - not only one of the most original and innovative adventure games of recent times, but a title that should enter the gaming history. Or the Guinness Book of Records, or something similar. It just deserves a prize. Just give a g... |

There are many franchises out there on the market that have reached the number 3 or 4 in the series and you won't see nothing wrong in that. Take Call of Duty 4 as an example - sold better than the land on the Moon, got prizes and a ton of fans. On the other hand, we have games that come as a total surprise: "Oh... |

There are games like Universe at War: Earth Assault that almost manage to do the trick and convince me not to care about the storyline so much, as there are other things that really matter (gameplay, for instance) and if these are flawless you can say that you just had the experience of your life. No, Universe at War... |

Franchises. With every big company buying the smaller developers, more franchises arise. If things keep heading towards this direction where we'll only have 4-5 giants and nothing else, we'll soon end up playing games with double digits in the end. And that is the worst thing a gamer could expect. Franchise... |

You should be familiar with the fact that PlayStation games are compatible with the PS3 and PSP by now, which is a pretty good piece of news, specially if you've kept your PSX titles laying on some shelves, covered with dust.

There are bad games, OK games and brilliant games. Games you wish you'd never started playing and games that make you think that you don't have enough time in your lifetime in order to fully enjoy them. Now, moving on to the RTS genre, I can translate everything I said before easily: there are RTS games and... |

Games will educate people if the content included in them gets to deserve the status of "art". Basing an RPG on Chopin's works, life and death is probably the most original concept I've stumbled upon in the last 5 of 6 years of my RPG fanaticism. I've played practically all of the Final Fantasy titles... |

Game movie tie-ins are usually a great way for big developers to make a quick buck, using the movie's reputation and this usually happens when a blockbuster comes out or during the holiday season.

Early details about Metroid Prime 3: Corruption didn't do the game much good. Not visually anyway. The idea of motion-sensitive control was well received by the public, while some of the first screenshots proved to be a bit of a disappointment. Still, talk of the incredibly intuitive and fun-to-use control sche... |

The fact that most dogs have something against hedgehogs is common knowledge by now so when my quadruped best friend decided to chase one of these cute little animals while I was playing Sonic Rivals 2, things got ugly. Of course, the dog got spiked as a punishment for chasing the critter and this goes to show that ... |

Who hasn't played Mario? Let him be pointed out from the crowd and banished from the gaming community as he's not worthy of wearing the "gamer" tag. Mario is probably the most famous Italian product, second only to pizza, but the little critter will always deny his origins favoring his fathering company, N... |

Sometimes I get to play fighting games and I don't expect much from them, unless they're part of the Tekken series.
