    In Pictures: Tom's Hardware's 30 Most Popular PC Games

    To be fair, the title "popular" can be ambiguous and doesn't fit the description on page one, which says "sold" numbers are used. The title needs to change to "30 best-selling PC games".

    In Pictures: Tom's Hardware's 30 Most Popular PC Games

    It says "Most Popular *PC* Games", so GTA 5 wouldn't qualify, at least not yet. GTA San Andreas has PC version but available data seems to indicate most of sales are generated from consoles, same for CoD series.Not sure about Diablo 2, I thought it should be on the list, maybe Diablo 3 does sell...

    Gigabyte Brix Pro Steam Machine First Look

    A Steam Machine should be foremost about playing game, not CPU only intensive tasks. A balanced system for gaming, namely CPU and GPU, should be in the similar performance and price tier to give the most bang for the buck for gaming, not because they happen to be together, e.g. i7-4770R.

    Lenovo Erazer X700 Gaming PC Review: Is It As Fast As It Looks?

    These OEMs make so-call "gaming PC" really need to know gaudy and oversized front bezel that take unnecessary space are the things of past.

    Diablo III: Reaper of Souls Promises Mayhem, Randomness

    The engine D3 is using is really lacking. It doesn't look that great yet the resources it consumes are rather high, especially at CPU front. It doesn't have dynamic lighting and to me that's one of the biggest factors hurt how the game looks and feels. D1 and D2 though are 2D, they have that...

    The Cause Of And Fix For Radeon R9 290X And 290 Inconsistency

    Even with the new driver the 2 retail cards still aren't on par with press card. The differences are small but you can't ignore the impression here.
