Company of Heroes Review
"We’re not seeing many high quality Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games recently. But there are very many RTS games out there -- just not many are getting a lot of fame and success; like the Command and Conquer series. To be honest, the past few years have disappointed many RTS fans. Company of Heroes was developed by Relic and published by THQ, and it’s been available since September, ’06. Frankly, I’m not a big fan of THQ or Relic as I don’t expect much from them. But who knows, maybe they will manage to surprise me this time.
Company of Heroes (CoH) is a World War II RTS game. You will be playing as a commander of US Able Company during World War II against the German war machine. Personally, I think there are too many “cheap” World War II RTS games available. Will Company of Heroes join the black list of the poor WW II RTS games? Or will it join the “List of Fame” next to the Command and Conquer series? Read on to found out."

Rayman Raving Rabbids Review (Nintendo Wii)
"Rayman was a launch title for the Wii, and many of us are wondering, "what is keeping this game competitive with Zelda!?!?!" Rayman Raving Rabbids is a constant best-seller, and has been increasingly difficult to find on the shelf lately. The few new copies sell out usually within a day, and for what reason? Because we like to hit crazed rabbits with plungers? Evidently so....
Rayman has taken a break from his platforming adventures. Sitting quietly one day with his frog-like buddies, he becomes aware that something just isn't right. When a psychotic looking bunny with a slob of drool on his face peers up at him from a hole in the ground, Rayman knows things are definitely not normal. Suddenly, a giant robotic bunny appears and drags Rayman off to an arena mimicking the Roman Coliseum. Rayman must beat the bunnies at their own game to get his friends back!"

The Lowdown on Warez
"Today we have a very interesting subject to consider: The Piracy of Online Content that keeps drawing a lot of attention and heat around the world. This problem has existed since the advent of the Internet and in the last few years it has grown even worse. Today we will analyze the reasons for the increasing amount of piracy among software, games and even music and movies. There must be a significant reason why so many people are downloading software, games, music and movies illegally instead of buying it. I believe that people will not steal without good reason.
Back in June we started a survey about warez, and we started to research the reasons behind it that motivate people to commit the crime. As I said, there must be reasons why there are so many popular warez sites and demand for it. It took many weeks to investigate the issue and to understand the reasons behind it -- and maybe to find out and to suggest a solution to solve this growing problem. So, what causes people to download software illegally? I will tell you why…"

Mid-Range Graphics Card Warfare – AMD vs. nVidia (Q4 2006)
"Today we have with us a total of four mid-range graphics cards - two from AMD and two from nVidia. While all cards are mid-range, it’s clear that they sit at different end of the scales – let’s call them low-end mid-range and high-end mid-range. The Radeon X1650XT and GeForce 7600GT sits at the lower end of the mid-range scale and at the other end we have the GeForce 7900GS and the Radeon X1950PRO. While offering high-end type performance, the 7900GS and X1950PRO still in belong at the mid-range level due to their pricing."

“There are so many great speaker systems for your PC, from 2.1, 5.1, even 7.1 systems, but to use them to their full potential you need a top of the line sound card.

The system is able to deliver 5.1 surround sound without a 6-channel sound card, without any sound card at all! The FX5051 uses USB to bring surround sound to any computer without a sound card.”

Setting up HDMI on your HDTV - nVidia vs. AMD
"When you connect a computer to your TV using a digital signal like HDMI, the process isn’t as seamless as connecting a dedicated piece of AV hardware, like a TV tuner or DVD player. This is because AV equipment makes automatic allowances for overscan whereas graphics cards don’t. To fix this, there’s a certain amount of manual tweaking required in the driver.
I wanted to compare AMD and nVidia’s driver capabilities to get your system up and connected properly to an HDTV. The two cards used were an MSI NX7600GT Diamond Plus and Sapphire X1600 Pro HDMI. Both cards have native support for HDMI."

Budget Dream Machine
“Intel's E6300 is the best CPU for the price. Overclocked, it outperforms AMD's current offerings and equals that of a $1000.00 processor. Long has it been since we've seen such an amazing overclocker, and the E6300 will certainly go down in history. It's the perfect match for our AB9-Pro Dream Machine on a Budget. We hope this will serve as a guide for those looking to get the most for their money, while at the same time having a computer that is nothing short of spectacular in terms of performance.”

Cooler Master Eclipse Cooler
“Over all, Cooler Master has not let us down with its latest product release. The Eclipse cooler has all the makings of a great cooler with the ability to impress in any case window. I am still calling out to Cooler Master to correct its centering issues with these coolers as this is a very crucial step in assuring proper cooling of the customer's CPU. The shape of the cooler has a very interesting appeal to it, but the functionality with surrounding components presents a problem on some motherboards…”
