Posted by Donster on: 2008-08-29 16:33:25 in category: Strategy and Wargaming News [ Print ]
Addictive Tower Defense PC Strategy Game Challenges Players with Deep Gameplay
Hidden Path Entertainment, an independent developer based in Bellevue WA, will be unveiling their new PC game Defense Grid: The Awakening during this week’s Penny Arcade Expo. Defense Grid: The Awakening, due to release in November 2008, is a unique spin on tower defense gameplay that will appeal to players of all skill levels. This PC game, built on Emergent’s Gamebryo engine, features beautiful environments, spectacular effects, and a dynamic, engaging soundtrack. The controls are intuitive and the gameplay is deep - the special attacks and properties of each tower work together to provide many ways to succeed.
“Defense Grid: The Awakening redefines tower-defense gameplay, introduces new concepts, and uniquely captures the full excitement and fun of this genre,” said Jeff Pobst, CEO and co-founder of Hidden Path Entertainment. “Defense Grid: The Awakening is as fun for the core gamer pushing their skills as it is for the novice just trying their hand at a strategy game.”

Author: Apollo @ XSReviews
Most performance mice, which gamers tend to use, are normally manufactured by one of two companies: 'Logitech' or 'Razer'. Both these companies are widely known in the gaming industry. However, many more manufacturers, such as Genius, are making their show in the performance gaming mouse market. The contender we have for review today is the Genius Ergo 555 Laser, a ‘Professional laser gaming mouse with OLED graphics effect’. Let’s see how it performs.

Review: Razer Salmosa Gaming Mouse
Posted by Donster on: 2008-08-29 15:48:32 in category: Game Controller News [ Print ]
By Jeremy Atkinson @ ExtremeTech
Consumers can expect a lot out of a gaming mouse: blazing fast sensor, many buttons, customization options, and last but not least: a high price tag. Expect to cough up anything north of $60 for the latest, greatest gaming mouse. Razer, also a guilty party in releasing high-end rodents at high-end prices, is giving some thought to Joe Penny Pincher who just wants a decent gaming that doesn't cost a fortune.

Review: NZXT Guardian 921 Mid Tower Case
Posted by Donster on: 2008-08-29 15:35:35 in category: General System Component News [ Print ]
Review by Grace @ DriverHeaven
NZXT are a well known company for their computer cases and case accessories. They focus almost entirely on these, with the only exception being the latest series of power supplies. They also design most of their products for gamers and modders, therefore they sport an exotic and unique appearance. We reviewed many of NZXT's cases in the past and today we will review one of their latest additions to their products range, the Guardian 921. The Guardian 921 is designed to offer the best value for your money, being loaded with a lot of features and with a unique but not kitschy exterior. We will carefully examine the case and its features in this review.

Birth of America 2: Wars in America Review
Posted by Donster on: 2008-08-28 17:40:58 in category: Strategy and Wargaming News [ Print ]
A chance to alter the course of history and keep the colonies part of the empire...
By Emmanuel Brown @ Boomtown
With a distinct board-game approach, BoA II takes on a striking resemblance to Civilization without diplomacy. Each section of the map contains several city strongholds that form the basis of a long-term campaign, with objectives usually involving capturing one or more of these important locations, surviving a siege or driving the enemy beyond borders. Movement is a simple process of dragging and dropping the relevant icon to a desired location on the map, with combat automatically engaged on your behalf. There are no battle animations or interactive elements to contend with, just a simple text explanation of the resultant carnage.

LMAO News: Heated Seats Bad For Reproduction
Posted by Donster on: 2008-08-28 16:31:11 in category: General News [ Print ]
Source: HardOCP
The AutoBlog crew says “they knew it all along” that heated seats bake your balls. What does that mean for all of you with heated seats trying to have a family? Heh…you need a heatsink for your huevos. Peltier powered pantaloons. TIM (thermal interface material) for your testes?
“Scientists studying male fertility have discovered that the proliferation of heated seats raises the temperature of your junk by a full degree Fahrenheit verses sitting in the car without artificially warmed seats. That's enough to cut your chances of reproducing, and it makes us strategically point a fan at close range just thinking about it.”

Review: CSX Diablo 2000MHZ DDR3 Memory
Posted by Donster on: 2008-08-28 15:58:31 in category: System Memory News [ Print ]
Author: Whoopty @ XSReviews
Over the last year or so, the price of DDR2 memory has completely bottomed out, meaning many gamers and hardware enthusiasts have stuck with it, and by and large ignored the newer technology, DDR3. However, as prices of the new range start to come down, people are taking more of an interest. Today I have a kit from a little known company called as CSX, who've been kind enough to let us test their Diablo kit. A 2GB, 2GHZ pair of sticks, that come with a huge heatsink, with D9 chips underneath. Can they reach their rated 2000MHZ speed? Let's find out.

IE 8 Beta Gives Other Browsers a Run for Their Money
Posted by Donster on: 2008-08-28 15:45:53 in category: Software News [ Print ]
Don't count Internet Explorer out just yet.
By Robert Vamosi @ CNET News
On Wednesday, Microsoft released the second public beta for Internet Explorer 8. If anything, this release brings IE up to par with alternative browsers such as Opera, Apple's Safari, and Mozilla's Firefox in terms of security and features. It also pushes Microsoft a little ahead of the competition.
The user interface hasn't changed much since Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1, except to add a Security pull-down menu between Page and Tools on the main toolbar. In addition to blocking phishing sites, IE 8 now highlights the main domain of any Web site you visit. Thus if you think you are on eBay's site and something other than ebay.com is highlighted, chances are you are on the wrong Web site.

Microsoft Warns of IE8 Lock-in With XP SP3
Posted by Donster on: 2008-08-28 15:37:43 in category: Software News [ Print ]
Also notes other problems, including crashing Windows Live Mail
By Gregg Keizer @ ComputerWorld
Microsoft Corp. yesterday warned users of 'Windows XP Service Pack 3' (SP3) that they won't be able to uninstall either the service pack or Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) under some circumstances.
The warning was reminiscent of one Microsoft made in May, when 'Windows XP SP3' had just been made available for downloading. At the time, the company told users they wouldn't be able to downgrade from IE7 to the older IE6 browser without uninstalling the service pack.
