Nvidia has just launched a brand new card, the GTX 560 Ti, and they were kind enough to send us one to test out. Now, this is my first time reviewing hardware and I don't have a crazy testing bench or all sorts of reference systems and parts. However, I have a fairly capable system that I built a little over 2 years ago. I don't see this as a disadvantage. In fact, I think this just might make this review even more relevant because my setup is probably similar to yours and I use it day in and day out. So when I upgrade my video card, it needs to count. To be honest, I wasn't sure how much a new card in my relatively old computer would boost performance. I was worried the rest of my system might not be able to keep up. Let's find out how it fared.

I remember when Stratholme, Scholomance and Onyxia were a big deal. Back when conquering MC and Blackwing Lair were, "OMG we did it," moments.
But not anymore. Nowadays when you find yourself in WoW, even with 10 million+ players, it seems nearly impossible to find a group to go after these "old world" instances.
This is a...

This was faster than anyone hoped, and probably shut up alot of whiners on the darkfall forums that complained about the journal delay. Tasos said in his post that there will be some update in the following couple of days, and it was exactly what I expected - part 2 of Asp's review.
Other than the game, Asp writes a little about his background in...

Finally, after a long week for the darkfall community, the LoD guys have released a writeup from Asp which wasn't originally intended for the general public, just the clan. But since they haven't been hearing from him for over a week, they decided to polish up the short review Asp wrote for them.
They also said that they are hoping for Asp to...

Recently we had a chance to visit the Eidos studios out in Redwood City, California. So what was the topic of the visit you ask? Oh, nothing much, just an Age of Conan Hands on experience where we had two hours to play through the game at various levels; a freshly created character, a level 13 character, and a high-end character.

Not too long ago a lot of you may remember talking about MMO games and their respective endgames with only one thing in mind; Raids and PvE progression. Following the highly popular trend derived from classic MMO games such as Everquest, the mainstream games of today such as World of Warcraft quickly adopted this core design structure. That was in...
