    The Evil Within PC Gets A 60 FPS Toggle, Playable Demo

    What about those of us who already bought the game and activated it on Steam? I don't see how I'm supposed to get a free copy of Call of Cthulhu, which is already on my wishlist. What about the PS3 version my wife got? Does she get anything? What is with people telling everyone they can't tell...

    Building a Gaming Computer

    That's one lucky kid; feel free to adopt me, I work, I clean, and I'm housebroken. Seriously though, what type of monitor and resolutions will he be running? Coming from a laptop, I expected to see a shiny new monitor listed. Will he be simply plugging into a TV? If he's looking at 1440p...

    Can I use multiple Xbox One controllers through my PC

    My sons and I have played Super Street Fighter IV, as well as the Arcade Edition, MK Komplete Edition, and whatever that Comics Super Hero game is (Gods Among Us?), on vs modes and co-op with two 360 controllers and wireless adapter just fine.

    Connect Xbox 360 Controller to Pc

    You need to purchase an xbox 360 wireless receiver. The official MS ones are preferable, though they will cost more. The generic ones are iffy, but there are some on eBay that give specific instructions that if followed correctly, will work fine. I have purchased 2 MS ones, and one generic one.

    Report: White Xbox One Coming, Also $50 Price Cut

    I agree, brushed aluminum would look really nice, but it would also drive the cost back up. If they did a special edition in brushed aluminum, I bed it would be back up to a $500 price tag, but it better have a controller to match, if it could be made without being able to get dented easily.

    Laptops May Get MagLev Keys

    The pull of gravity is relatively weak; you can easily overcome it every time you stand up or throw a wad of paper across the room (before it lands in the trash). I'm not sure if something like this could be retro-fitted into existing laptops, but it would be a nice upgrade.

    Could future sli postpone a full upgrade and save money?

    It depends on things that you haven't detailed. What resolution do you typically game at? How much memory does your 770 have? Do you tend to play lots of graphically intensive games, do you run higher graphics settings (4x - 8x AA, MSAA, SSAO, etc, tesselation, etc.). These are some of the...

    Former id Software Worker Gives Gloomy Doom 4 Report

    After getting bored with Doom 3 half way through (around the area where I got the Soul Cube) I tried to finish it a few months ago. I didn't get much farther, got bored again and quit. It's just too long, too many samey corridors, so if that's what Doom 4 had in store, I won't care if it never...

    720p TV looks pixelated and unreadable on PC

    That's odd that your tv will show that it's receiving a 1080p signal even if your resolution has changed, when it's a 720p tv. That should not be happening unless there is something else in the signal path that is upscaling the image from your video card, such as a stereo/surround sound...

    Can't get sound through my TV speakers via HDMI

    First, you said HDMI, but then in reply to notherdude you said it doesn't work on "PC (VGA)". Are you referring to the physical connection or the input label name from your tv? Can you confirm you have an HDMI cable connection on both ends from computer to tv? I've connected HDMI out from...
