The date is 08/09/2011. At 1800 hours I'm marching to the Thames to board the HMS Belfast. Sega have invited us to a press event to get some hands on experience with their latest Xbox Live Arcade title, Renegade Ops; and some body painted ladies. Despite living the furthest from this location, I'm the only XSR staff member aboard. That's dedication for you.
In 2009 TimeGate Studios released a first person shooter called Section 8 which gained a decent online following thanks to a good multi-player experience. The follow up features refinements to the multi-player and a new single player campaign but the twist is that this is a download only title (for 360/PS3 and PC) which costs £9.99/$15 rather than the £30-40 or $50 that most new titles launch at.
I'm having a hard time trying to find something original in Section 8. And it matters not. Even the engine is used - it's based on the multi-platform Unreal Engine 3, which irritates me since I can't get anti-aliasing to work; but fine, it doesn't seem to disrupt my ability to womp the shite out of 16 of my temporary nemeses, bot or human, and try as I might, I can't stay away from this title for very long. Oh, and I've been playing the beta, the demo version.
TimeGate Studios are a developer well known for their release of the Kohan real time strategy series which was a favourite with the gaming community a few years ago. They tried to push the boundaries of the genre and for the most part it worked well. They were also responsible for the F.E.A.R. Expansions - Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate. Today we review their latest game, a multiplayer focused shooter.
Most racing games which involve two wheels generally play second fiddle to their four wheel counterparts. While the audience is obviously smaller, the mechanics never seem to translate well to a game pad or keyboard. Today we look at the latest title from Conspiracy Entertainment entitled SBK Superbike World Championship.
I couldn’t think of a better game to review on the eve of Halloween than one based on torture devices and cringe-inducing deaths at the hands of the infamous Jigsaw killer. Zombie Studios and Konami, the marvelous guys behind Silent Hill, have brought the Saw series to life in the third-person survival horror game SAW. I’m kind of glad they didn’t do some ridiculous spin on words for the title. Those three little letters are still enough to send shivers down our spines when we think of all the painful ways that the creators of the Saw franchise have come up with to kill those undeserving of the lives they were given.
Today we have the latest model in the Vapor-X family on our test bench, the 5750. We will be taking a look at how it compares to the reference model in areas such as thermal performance, overclocking, GPU computing and real world gameplay. Can the Vapor-X 5750 live up to the reputation of the previous models?
Earlier on today we took a look at AMD's latest and greatest graphics card, the Radeon 6990. In that article we looked at a number of performance aspects and various features the card offered but one item was missing, CrossFire performance as we were yet to receive a second card.
Sapphire have decided to re-release two of AMD’s last generation range of cards – the HD5830 and HD5850, but this time around they are offering them with a modified cooler and heavily reduced pricing. When we say heavily reduced, we really do mean it. The HD5850 ‘Xtreme’ has been reduced from an original price of £250 to £99 inc vat and the HD5830 ‘Xtreme’ from £200 to £80 inc vat.
Nicht jeder will viel Geld in eine High-End-Grafikkarte investieren, die nach einem Jahr nur noch die Hälfte wert ist. Viele Kunden legen mehr Wert auf einen leisen bzw. lautlosen Betrieb und einen niedrigen Stromverbrauch. In diesem Segment gibt es etliche Modelle, doch wenn gelegentlich auch ein Spiel angesagt ist und ein HDMI-Ausgang gewünscht wird, ist die Auswahl deutlich kleiner.
Wir betrachten heute die Sapphire HD 4670 Ultimate Edition und werden prüfen, inwiefern diese Grafikkarte unsere Vorgaben erfüllen kann. Vergleichswerte liefert uns dabei u.a. MSIs N9600GT-T2D512-OC auf Basis des GeForce 9600 GT Grafikprozessors von NVIDIA.
