Akasa Infiniti Zor Gaming Case Review
Driverheaven posted a review on the Akasa Infiniti Zor Gaming Case

Not long ago we reviewed the Akasa Omega, a large high performance case designed to appeal mostly to hardware enthusiasts. While the Omega was a very good case, its simplistic appearance wouldn't really attract modders and gamers. Today we will have a look at a case from Akasa designed to appeal exactly to these groups of people, the Infiniti Zor. The Infiniti Zor is designed to be visually appealing but also to offer superior thermal performance for high-end gaming systems. We are going to examine its ergonomics, thermal performance and overall quality in this review.

Sims 3 Preview
GamingHeaven posted a review on the Sims 3

Many people aren't even aware of the development of Sims 3 because everything relating to the game seems to have been kept relatively hush hush. Developer Maxis also handed the project over to EA Redwood Shores recently. It is actually quite a shock to learn that this title has been in development for around four years now. I was lucky enough to get a look at The Sims 3 when it was announced but recently I managed to spend some time in the new Sims town courtesy of EA.

NZXT Zero 2 Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the NZXT Zero 2

After NZXT's long unprecedented success with their Zero case, they went back to the drawing board once again to redesign and perfect what they now call the Zero 2. Today, more than ever, companies like NZXT are looking for a means to manufacture quality products at a cheaper price, without many compromises made on the overall functionality or the finish of their products. The only issue with that is, often times, companies cut corners on the features that matter and the features that consumers look for in cases.

So, the real question is, will the Zero 2 hold up to what the original Zero had to offer at a higher price? Stick around to find out as we reveal for the first time, the all new Zero 2.

Super Talent Godfather Flash Drive Review
Bigbruin.com posted a review on the Super Talent Godfather Flash Drive

The Super Talent Godfather flash drive has a unique appearance and includes a bunch of images that should appeal to the Godfather fans out there. Novelty aside, the drive still takes care of the important things by being super compact, offering decent transfer rates, and by being available in a wide range of capacities (1GB - 16GB).

ASUS EAH4850 MT Republic of Gamers HD 4850 Review
OCC has published a new review on the ASUS EAH4850 MT Republic of Gamers HD 4850

Overclocking the ASUS EAH4850 was nice since the Catalyst Control Center was not as restricted as it is with some cards; it gave me a lot of room to play with. I started off with overclocking the GPU core 5MHz at a time, pushing it until I could no longer run stable. Once I maxed out the GPU speed, I started on the memory frequency, pushing it the same as I did for the GPU. I was able to get quite far on the ASUS EAH4850MT, farther than I expected. This card took everything I threw at it and begged for more. The final overclock was 730MHz on the GPU and 1098MHz on the memory. The other HD 4850 that was compared in this review topped out at 675/1075MHz, so the ASUS EAH4850 MT definitely has some juice to put out.

The Guru of 3D posted a review on the Corsair Dominator 6GB 1866 MHz DDR3 memory

Dominator 6GB PC15000 DDR3 RAM Tri Channel, 1866MHz, DHX test and review - DDR3 memory has become a every important and integral part of the Core i7 eco-system and obviously memory vendors jumped on that. Corsair released its a 6 GB (3x2GB) 1866 MHz Triple Channel memory kit at CAS latency 9, it's available under SKU (product code) TR3X6G1866C9DF and comes with a Dominator airflow fan.

To date this is one of the best DDR3 memory kit we have had in our hands. Excuisite and impressive.

Sapphire's ATI Radeon HD 4850 X2 2GB graphics card Review
Bit-Tech published a review of Sapphire's ATI Radeon HD 4850 X2 2GB graphics card

Despite these flaws, the Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 X2 does deliver a generally better gaming experience than Nvidia’s more expensive GeForce GTX 285. The cheapest we have been able to find the 285 for is around ?300, including VAT, which makes it ?40 more expensive than the 4850 X2. That makes the decision difficult and while we’d typically recommend a single GPU solution almost every time (especially in light of what we’ve described above), the price difference makes it an awkward choice – the GTX 285 is 15 percent more expensive and it’s slower in four of the seven games we’ve tested here.

Frankly, the Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 X2 is too loud for a modern gaming system, driver support isn’t where we’d like it and the GeForce GTX 285 is too expensive. In light of this, we don’t believe there is a perfect choice in this segment of the market and it opens up a window of opportunity for the manufacturer who wants it the most. Right now, we’d avoid this part of the market altogether and either go higher or lower depending on your screen size and budget elasticity.

NZXT Tempest Case Review
Modders-Inc.com has posted a review on the NZXT Tempest case

NZXT has christened this chassis with a moniker that makes you believe that this case can be the "king of airflow" in both name and self proclaimed title.

Call of Duty: World at War PC
TestFreaks posted a review on Call of Duty: World at War for the PC

Call of Duty World at War is yet another entry into the World War II gaming genre, is it a welcome addition? COD:WaW is based off the COD4, so it's much more advanced than the others in the series, and it offers several new things to gameplay as well. Overall gameplay is fun, it's exciting, and the graphics are excellent, and of course we've got the awesome Nazi Zombie mode at the end of the game.
