    Crytek Engine Subscription Plan Targets Game Making Startups

    This largely depends on your production team size. Everyone seems to gloss over the fact that it costs $9.90 per developer seat for the engine per month. If you are touting a team of 10-15 as a startup with little to no money, Unreal is suddenly far more attractive. Before all of this was even...

    Skype Ransomware Worm Spreading Fast, Says Trend Micro

    I honestly just had a customer try to purchase a Green Dot Moneypak card for $200 dollars in order to unlock his computer. I guess this must be what he was talking about. I just told him to take it to Geek Squad since he doesn't seem to understand scams anyway.

    Ubuntu 12.04 HUD Supports Voice-Based Menu Commands

    ClasszeroReally? Most developers are turning their backs to PC, gaming on the PC is slowing being phased out by the developers. Yes and no. The more console oriented developers are moving in that direction, but you take a look at all MMOs that are coming out plus the huge wave of indie...

    Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Beta Plans, System Requirements

    cats_pawThird, 560 or 6950 (you mean 560 Ti i guess, or did they just randomly chose a good gpu?)That might be fun. If it really needs that much, wow, that would be great assuming they use the engine well. Actually, the 560 does exist. Tom's even did an article about it when it came out. Just a...

    Deals for April 18: 25% Off HP PCs Extravaganza

    stingstangHow can HP sell their computer for SO MUCH? Anyone on this site could build their computer for literally half the price they're being 'discounted' as. actually, having just done research on building my next computer, the deal from hp regarding the 2600k+6GB ram w/o the 440 is only...

    Acer Launches a Pair Of 3D LCDs

    The reason the monitor is 120Hz in the first place is for the 3D so that each eye can effectively see 60 fps since it utilizes active shutter technology aka the $150 glasses and not the $1 ones. Don't exactly know why nVidia mandated that, but there it is.

    Galaxy S2 Gets Benchmarked, Kicks Nexus Ass

    Didn't realize so many people hated the SGS. I personally love mine. btw, blame your carrier if you don't have froyo on your device yet. Samsung gave its version of Froyo back in last November to them. If they haven't put it out, they have either A) forgot about it/don't care or B) still adding...

    On The Bench: EVGA GeForce GTX 460 FTW

    BullCatYou should have mentioned that almost all of the advantage over the Radeons came from the Civ 5 map benchmark. But the fps are so high that the difference is negligible. Most users playing the game run moniters at 60Hz. The real kicker would be to throw in Eyefinity and 3D...

    Nvidia Points Finger at AMD's Image Quality Cheat

    You guys keep saying this is just the put calling the kettle black, but the problem is that it's still black. Just because nvidia got caught cheating in the past doesn't mean they shouldn't look out for other cheaters. Cheating is ethically wrong, no matter how little our how big. Probably not...

    Lenovo's $10,000 Laptop That You Can't Have

    I don't get why people think this is for sale. It's not. The last paragraph clearly states it is for a competition/marketing campaign.
