Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge Preview
Posted by Donster on: 2008-09-04 16:27:12 in category: Strategy and Wargaming News [ Print ]
Gamers wanting a sharp RPG tactical game should be ecstatic with the arrival of Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge. Just remember: it's a jungle out there!
By James Cobb @ Gamesquad
The story of the 'Jagged Alliance' series is enough to confuse the savviest lawyer. This very popular series debuted in 1994, but intellectual property rights action has stymied growth and production for some time now. Developer Games Factory Inc.-Russia and publishers Tri Synergy and Matrix Games have found a way to put together a product reflecting the original system with Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge, due out in the middle of September 2008. Gamers wanting a sharp, turn-based, RPG tactical game should be ecstatic.

Review: ASUS EAH3850 X2 1GB Graphics Card
Posted by Donster on: 2008-09-04 15:30:33 in category: Video Card News [ Print ]
Written By: Sludge @ Virtual-Hideout
To dual or not to dual? - that is the question. Yes, yes, I can hear you all yelling, "DUAL DUAL DUAL," and to a certain extent I agree. So maybe the real question should be, "To dual with single GPU's or dual GPU's." The EAH3850 X2 1GB may be a reason to consider a dual GPU card. The main feature is that 'Crossfire' has already been enabled onboard and is ready to go out of the box. The 3850 GPU has a core clock of 668MHZ and the DD3 memory runs at 1.65GHz. This combination allows DVI resolution to reach 2560x1600, which means it's time for me to get a new higher resolution monitor.

The browser step for Google is an interesting one, yet of all of the browser companies Google is the most natural fit - it’s almost surprising that Google hadn’t released a browser by now.
