It almost feels like we have been seeing the 600 series of cards from Nvidia for a few years now. At a year and two months we are a little past due to see a new generation of cards and today we can finally take the wraps off of NVidia’s latest card, the GTX 780. Rumors have been going around for a while on this launch so let’s just jump right into it and see what it’s all about and then how it performs. One thing is for sure, this will be the start of a lot of exciting cards, and 2013 is going to be a good year!

I’m going to come clean to you guys/girls. I have had tablets for the past 2-3 years and for the first few years, I really never put them to use. I found them to be cumbersome, slow, and there just wasn’t enough reason to use them. Frankly I could do it all on my phone just as well, with a smaller screen of course. About a year ago I had a Transformer Prime come in. With Nvidia’s Tegra 3 quad core CPU I was intrigued and the optional keyboard was icing on the cake. I decided to REALLY give it a try and see what I thought. A year later I want to talk a little about my experience.

When it comes to ergonomic keyboards there are only a few to pick from and, for the most part, all of those are rubber dome keyboards. Ergonomic mechanical keyboards are really limited to two different models, one being the Truly Ergonomic. Today we are going to take a look to see how it compares to everything I have tested to date. I expect an adjustment period just to its shape alone, but as a writer by trade I am very curious how it will affect me day to day. The gamer in me is just as curious on how it will perform in game as well. Let’s take a closer look.

When it comes to pointers for the computer there are multiple solutions. Most of them come in the traditional flat on a mouse pad form, but occasionally a company comes up with an innovative way to control the pointer on our screen. Genius has developed a “ring mouse” and I have the pleasure of looking at their second version of this particular design in the Ring Mouse 2. I will look at the device’s versatility and functionality in this review and see how it stacks up not only as a pointer, but also as an alternative solution to our browsing needs.

Let’s be honest, Asus has a whole product line full of good motherboards. So much that it really takes a special motherboard to stand out from the crowd. There has been one specific board that has stuck with me for the past year and a half though, back from when I took a visit to the Asus office and they pulled it out to show me. That motherboard would be the Maximus V Formula. I’m sure you are wondering what made it stand out, especially considering all of the motherboards we have in the office, including boards like the Rampage IV. Well I only have a limited amount of space in the opening; you will have to peek inside our review to find out.
Zombie driving hit coming to consoles in all new HD glory!
SZCZECIN, POLAND - SEPTEMBER 29, 2011 - EXOR Studios is proud to
announce that Zombie Driver HD is coming to Xbox Live Arcade, the
PlayStation Network and Tegra 2 powered mobile devices.
The PC zombie smashing hit has been vastly expanded, improved and super
polished for the console audience. Zombie Driver HD features a more
varied narrative campaign that is twice as long as the original, adding
epic boss fights, demolition missions, new enemies and special vehicles
such as a fire truck, bulldozer and even a tank, as well as many more
gameplay enhancements... The gameplay mechanics have received a new
round of polish by introducing an improved camera system, a recharging
afterburner that will help you get out of tough spots and a minimap that
will guide you through a labyrinth of zombie filled streets.
In the game's story campaign you find yourself trapped in a city full of
walking corpses without any option to escape, locked in by a military
quarantine. Your only way to survive is to use your driving skills to
smash through hordes of zombies and try to save anyone left alive in the
city.
If you aren't into complicated plot lines and corporate conspiracy
theories, check out the adrenaline pumping Blood Race mode full of
insane cars, guns and explosions. It includes three distinct game types
that will satisfy all racing and reckless driving fans. In Race events
the objective is simple - the first zombie driver past the finish line
wins (that is unless he gets ripped to shreds by his opponents).
Eliminator events are even simpler to grasp - destroy as many opponents
as you can before the time runs out. And last, but not least - Endurance
events - there is a bomb on your car and its ticking - smash zombies,
demolish the race track or pass through checkpoints to extend the timer.
Not to mention that the entire Blood Race campaign includes 30 different
events...
The game is so packed with content that even that's not all! The third
available game mode is called the Slaughter and it puts the player in a
desperate fight against endless zombie waves on specially crafted
arenas. The goal is to survive as long as possible, make huge kill
combos and show your friends who is the best zombie driver on the
leaderboards.
