The TFU version of Wii does not support online multiplayer. It has what LucasArts is calling duel mode, meaning if you have another set of controllers for your Wii then you and someone else in your living room, bedroom, or wherever your Wii is locate...  [Read More]

I like it that EA is going to make NFS: Undercover more of a story-driven game. While I enjoy racing games I much prefer ones that have a well-defined plot to them....  [Read More]

So I'm looking at the Enermax MODU82+ 625W (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817194027) as the power supply I want to get in conjunction with my new graphics card. - I would probably be fine with a 500 W PSU but I want to have so...  [Read More]

i'm still waiting for Sapphire to put out a 4850 with one of their Atomic coolers on it. those things did an incredible job with the 3800 series, and they should do a good job with keeping the 4800 series running cool. Is that the vapor cooled ones...  [Read More]

This is the 4850 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127370) I'm looking at getting. The one thing I don't like about the 4800's is how hot they run. I've been looking for a dual slot 4850 that would vent air to the outside of t...  [Read More]

Yah. I started getting them right at the beginning of Noveria, after 30+ hours of gameplay. I have an NVIDIA graphics card and was using Forceware 169.21 drivers at the time. I installed the 175.19 drivers and that took care of the problem, though I...  [Read More]

But their ways seem to be a hindrance for legitimate customers and a challenge for crackers. Those who get pirated copies of a game can enjoy it without a protection that interferes with everything. True, however I don't recall saying that the anti-p...  [Read More]

You're certainly entitled to your opinion on the matter, Scatter. Like it or not, Mass Effect for PC has DRM in the form of a one-time online activation after the game is installed and a limit of 3 activations per game. If you are stating that EA and...  [Read More]

I realize there are many people that oppose the anti-piracy DRM measures BioWare and EA implemented for Mass Effect for PC. I am glad BioWare listened to the outcry from their fanbase and removed the 10 days re-authentication period for MEPC. However...  [Read More]

Yes, I too await test results of the 4870. I'm getting fed up with NVIDIA's antics (surprise announcing a 55 nm version of the 9800 GTX, big price drops on existing products once AMD showed their hand, product naming conventions, etc.) so if the 4870...  [Read More]

For 1680x1050 and below, I'd still look no further than an HD 3850/3870, unless you must get max settings and framerates in CoD4 or other such games... I'm looking for a graphics card that will generally allow me to play at 1920x1200, medium settings...  [Read More]

Heh. Yeah, you called it. As long as NVIDIA sticks to a sensible naming convention then I'm good. IMHO the 8800 GT should really have been called the 9800 GT. I'm eagerly anticipating the comparison reviews for the new AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards...  [Read More]
