Review: BenQ RL2460HT 24" Gaming Monitor
Author: AkG @ Hardware Canucks <br /> <br />The all new $288 BenQ RL2460HT isn�t your average 1080P monitor, not is it meant for the average consumer. Rather than take the usual 'everyman' approach where a monitor's design is meant to appeal to as broad a consumer base as possible the BenQ RL2460HT has been designed with laser-like intensity towards satisfying the needs of budget-focused PC gamers. <br /> <br />Read The Review Here

Review: Sapphire R9 290 Vapor-X OC Edition
By Stuart Davidson @ Hardware Heaven <br /> <br />When deciding what graphics card to buy a significant part of the decision should come down to the design used. Budget tends to establish which GPU we can get but the specific model can make a significant difference. For example, is it overclocked to boost performance (and value)? Does it use premium components which should last longer? Or which card has the quietest, or coolest running design? With their Vapor-X models Sapphire have often tried to hit all three of those areas and the subject of our review today, the R9 290 Vapor-X OC Edition, really looks to take things to the extreme. <br /> <br />Read The Review Here

Review: Logitech G502 Proteus Core Gaming Mouse and G240 Cloth Gaming Mouse Pad
By David Yee @ Legit Reviews <br /> <br />Color me surprised when I found out that the Logitech G5 design, in use since that mouse first appeared in 2005 and based off the also legendary MX518, was being replaced by the ergonomic shape being used for the G602. The wild success of the G5 and the various G500 updates have perhaps culminated to be amongst the top, if not the defacto favorite gaming mice for nearly a decade. Logitech hasn�t extinguished the original MX518 shape as it continues on as the G400s today. <br /> <br />Read The Review Here

Video: Wolfenstein: The New Order Censored Version Comparison
By Tom Phillips @ Eurogamer <br /> <br />Wolfenstein: The New Order is the first title in the series to be granted an official release in Germany - not surprising, really, when you consider that the use of Nazi imagery and slogans has been restricted in the country for over 60 years. <br /> <br />Swastikas and other Nazi images aren't banned in TV and movies, but video games are a different case as the German government doesn't class them as art in the same way. <br /> <br />Even then, game characters can still be portrayed as Nazis (as they were in Call of Duty 2, for example) although The New Order goes a step further and replaces references to the Nazis as simply 'The Reigime'. <br /> <br />Meanwhile, the game's international version - the one released here in the UK - has been geo-locked on PC so it can't be played within Germany itself. <br /> <br />How much of an impact does this all really make? Eurogamer's YouTube editor Ian Higton has been recording his playthrough of the game to find out. <br /> <br />Fair warning - the video below doesn't show any pivotal plot moments but it does include sections of gameplay from throughout the campaign, just in case you want to remain spoiler-free. There's a fair amount of violence, too. <br /> <br />WATCH VIDEO IN HD (Hosted by YouTube - 05:21)
