    Longer And Deeper Looks At 'Deus Ex: Mankind Divided,' Hands-On

    Does Mankind Divided have a non-lethal achievement like Human Revolution did? That play through was my favorite. I really liked when Dishonored offered that, too. Explosions and weapons can be creative (Just Cause 3), but I like the non-conventional planning and suspense of playing for a...

    Samsung Embraces Vulkan As The Next-Gen Graphics API Is Poised To Reshape Mobile Gaming

    "Super Evil Megacorp also believes that..." Priceless.

    Being Batman: Hands On With 'Batman: Arkham Knight'

    Having the game installed on an SSD seems to have spared you from some of the worst stuttering issues. The devs have addressed that they're working on fixing the streaming issues from hard drives.

    Office 2016 For Desktop Arrives In Second Half Of 2015

    I reconcile "installed free" and being unsure about subscription cost by remembering that Microsoft recently started allowing mobile users basic editing functionality for free (with a subscription to unlock all features).

    Acer Bakes Nvidia's G-Sync Into 27-inch IPS QHD Monitor With 144 Hz Refresh Rate

    I want a monitor with these specs that supports BOTH G-Sync and Freesync. I keep my monitors much longer than I keep my GPUs and I don't want to be locked in to one vendor for this technology.

    Nvidia's Corporate Network Compromised

    This is unfortunate. I like Nvidia. I hope no sensitive data (designs, contracts, etc) were taken, but I agree that it sounds like someone was trying very deliberately to target Nvidia IP.

    Rumor: Microsoft Working On Lightweight 'Spartan' Browser For Windows 10

    Multi-platform, redesign extensions, remove decades of bloat... It all sounded good until the part about keeping Trident and continuing with Halo naming.

    Far Cry 4 Game Performance Review

    Running FC4 on Ultra at 1440p with a 4760K and 780 Ti Classy. The fur on the animals when I go to skin them looks like the "furry donut" from MSI Kombuster. Cool effects, but it's actually kind of distracting. It's like when films blend live action and cartoons together - something about their...

    Best Graphics Cards For The Money: October 2014 (Archive)

    Those AMD 280s (7950s) have always been a great value (crypto-mania prices aside, of course). I've had good luck overclocking them in Crossfire. Roughly two of the 280/7950s equals the frame rate I get from a 780 Ti Classified.

    $99 SenseHUD Merely Beginning Of SenseDriver's Push For Auto Display Platform Dominance

    Many apps feature an override for your phone's auto-lock (hopefully this one will). Or perhaps your phone allows you to leave the screen on indefinitely when plugged into a power source? Or you could disable the auto-lock behavior on your phone altogether...

    Google Outs Critical Windows Vulnerability Microsoft Wouldn’t Fix

    Perhaps the US government was using this exploit and it was on their "stall until public" list of fixes.

    Gamescom 2014: Nvidia Bundles The Witcher 3 with GeForce GTX 770, 780, Titan

    I thought that Nvidia was going to offer "Borderlands: Pre-Sequel" with these cards? Is it both games now? Or depends on the vendor? Or do the timings not overlap?
