http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:Plp-EqAXEGvxNM:http://assets.gearlive.com/playfeed/blogimages/SiberiaV2.jpgGaming Headsets have come a long way over the past few years. Until recently all it took to be constituted a gaming headset was adding new plastic cowling and slapping a sticker on the headset that said “for gaming.”Sound engineers have been recruited and the quality has gone sky high. We are seeing very impressive audio come from inexpensive headsets that you cannot even get from a headphone of the same price. Steelseries is one such company pumping out high end quality headsets at a fraction of the price of the headphone equivalent. Today we will be looking at the Steelseries  Siberia V2 Pro Gaming Headset, and I will be telling you exactly how I feel about it:

Cooler Master HAF 932 AMD Edition Review PDF Print E-mail

Thursday, 11 March 2010 00:00

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:i4wybK0RHcQINM:http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/upload/product/2963/intro1.jpgThere was a time when AMD reign supreme. The instant underdog when they came to market quickly gained popularity over the Intel Juggernaught; all good things must come to an end. This end came in the form or dual core technology, AMD quickly lost the mass fallowing it once had. For those of you that hung on and continued to be big supports of AMD we have the case for you! Cooler Master took one of their top selling cases and proverbially pimped it out so to speak for anyone who has a love for all things AMD with a little ATI sprinkled on top.  I for one was always an AMD fan boy but changes in technology made me change to Intel, we did meet with AMD at CES and they told us good things where coming and they sent us out the AMD Phenom II 965 BE for building a testing rig. So we promptly got in contact with the guys at Cooler Master to get a fully AMD themed rig together. Due to NDA agreements I cannot tell you exactly what AMD has in store but let me tell you it should make you AMD boy happy you stayed a fan through thick and thin. Let’s Check out the Cooler Master HAF 932 AMD Edition:

LiteOn External Top-Load DVD and CD Writer Review PDF Print E-mail

http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:7N5BP-2UUvwTiM:http://i1.lelong.com.my/UserImages/Items/0912/13/Loveu%401.jpgNetbooks have changed the face on mobile computing. Being able to grab your netbook toss it is a bag and go anywhere and do a little work or research makes them a very likable gadget for students and very mobile business people. The downside from the beginning with the low profile miniature design of the netbooks is their lack of dvd drives, this made a lot of people resort to some bulky ugly external drives in order to have the functionality they needed to get the job done. That is until now; LiteOn has created a great alternative to frankistined 5.25 external drives, and even the lesser evil slim externals with its stylish new Top-Load DVD RW. This drive matches my aspire one and is just as mobile as my netbook. Let’s get a look at it and see if its right for you:

PC | Splinter Cell: Conviction Last Stand Mode Hands-On PDF Print E-mail
Written by Munk   
Wednesday, 10 March 2010 21:02
We face off against endless waves of terrorists and learn a thing or two about stealth in Conviction's new multiplayer mode. While we've already seen what the first 20 minutes of Sam Fisher's latest adventure has to offer, publisher Ubisoft has kept many of the new multiplayer modes away from our grubby little mitts. One such mode is Last Stand, which is Conviction's take on the endless-wave gameplay featured in Gears of War 2's Horde mode and Halo: ODST's Firefight mode. We spent some time with the new mode to see if it shares the same addictive quality as its forebears.

Two wheels and tons of speed; the motorcycle racing series is coming to America and we've got the latest look. The SBK Superbike series, which has seen a few iterations released in Europe, will finally make its European debut this year in the upcoming SBK Superbike World Championship 09. Representatives from the game's publisher Valcon Games were on hand at the 2010 Game Developers Conference showing SBK off to the press.

Xbox 360 | Medal of Honor First Look PDF Print E-mail
Written by Munk   
Thursday, 11 March 2010 05:47

We prowl through the mountains of Afghanistan in EA's upcoming military shooter. Hearing executive producer Greg Goodrich describe things, you'd wonder why a developer would want to use military advisors at all. He had just finished showing us a demo for the upcoming Medal of Honor reboot. It was a tense scene from early in the game--a group of Navy SEALs prowling though the Afghan mountains under cover of darkness. More than anything else, the sequence seemed intended to show the surgical precision with which these elite Tier 1 soldiers operated. Characters slid from one al Qaeda campfire to the next at a pace that was nothing short of brisk, dropping enemies before they heard the M4s go off. It was a ruthless level of efficiency on display, and it seemed that the only things keeping the player from falling behind--or off a cliff--were the objectives whispered from his squadmates. So, of course, when EA Los Angeles showed the demo to real-life SEALs, their only feedback was that they'd never speak a single word during a mission like this one. Silence is golden.

PC | Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West Hands-On - Classes, Modes, and Multiplayer Shoot-Outs PDF Print E-mail
Written by Munk   
Thursday, 11 March 2010 08:06
We try out this upcoming team-based multiplayer shooter set in the Old West. Nothing says "Game Developers Conference 2010" quite like pretending to be an Internet cowboy and blasting another Internet cowboy out of his boots. But that's exactly how we kicked off our day, specifically with a hands-on session of Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West, a multiplayer PC shooter from developer FatShark and publisher Paradox. The game takes place in the Old West on six different multiplayer maps that are set in and around classic 19th-century American towns, gulches, and mines, but it doesn't seem to be afraid to follow the example of the popular shooter Team Fortress 2 to use icons, menus, and smart pointers to help encourage simpler, easy-to-understand gameplay.

PC | Mount & Blade: Warband Hands-On - Castle Sieging, Melee, and Dying Horribly PDF Print E-mail
Written by Munk   
Thursday, 11 March 2010 08:43
We try out the sequel to Mount & Blade and die horribly in the game's exhilarating multiplayer. The 2010 Game Developers Conference is under way, and so is the ongoing beta test for Mount & Blade: Warband, the upcoming expansion to the unique medieval hybrid action game from developer Taleworlds and publisher Paradox. Like in the original game, you can play as an ambitious young warrior noble in search of fame, power, and conquest, though Warband's single-player campaign will give you access to new paths to power--specifically, by marrying into a wealthy family. The campaign will let you woo your potential mate with song and with your long, long, long…list of battle accomplishments, but that's not how we spent our time with the game. Instead, we jumped headfirst into the game's already-thriving multiplayer beta.

PlayStation 3 | GDC 2010: Wakeboarding HD Hands-on PDF Print E-mail
Written by Munk

Bikini babes and inflatable beach toys find their way to the GDC floor in this arcade wakeboarding game. While talk of cutting-edge technology and powerful programming tools tend to dominate the show floor at the 2010 Game Developers Conference, it's nice to know that there is always room for recreation. Creat Studios was showing off its watery new arcade game, Wakeboarding HD, which is due for release next Thursday, March 18 on the PlayStation Network. We grabbed a tow rope and tried our hand at performing tricks, avoiding shark attacks, and knocking bikini-clad sunbathers off of their rafts.

Wii | GDC 2010: Bit.Trip Runner Hands-On PDF Print E-mail
Written by Munk   
Thursday, 11 March 2010 11:38

When we tell Commander Video to jump, he jumps, but getting him to stop moving is another matter entirely. Gaijin Games has carved out quite a little niche for itself on Nintendo's insanely popular console. Three of its quirky Bit.Trip games have already surfaced on WiiWare, and these retro-themed rhythm games use blocky visuals and catchy soundtracks to great effect. But its next offering is taking a slight turn. Don…t worry, the endearing aesthetics remain the same, but the genre has shifted significantly from the established rhythm-action fare. In Bit.Trip Runner, you take control of a simple hero who merely wants to get from one side of the stage to the other without being killed by a hovering UFO or bottomless pit along the way. We grabbed a Wii Remote and tried our darnedest not to succumb to the many obstacles that threatened to thwart our progress.
