MMORPG.com: Not So MMO: Resident Evil Village Review
Resident Evil Village is a fun reminder of what Resident Evil used to be. Fighting off Lycans and exploring the Village captivated me in a way that I haven't felt in Resident Evil for a long time.

Anandtech: Intel’s Integrated Graphics Mini-Review: Is Rocket Lake Core 11th Gen Competitive?
In the last few months we have tested the latest x86 integrated graphics options on the desktop from AMD, with some surprising results about how performant a platform with integrated graphics can be. In this review, we’re doing a similar test but with Intel’s latest Rocket Lake Core 11th Gen processors. These processors feature Intel’s Xe-LP graphics, which were touted as ‘next-generation’ when they launched with Intel’s mobile-focused Tiger Lake platform. However, the version implemented on Rocket Lake has fewer graphics units, slower memory, but a nice healthy power budget to maximize. Lo, Intel set forth for battle.

APH Networks: Creative SBS E2900 Review
I was sitting in a meeting when a software developer tried to explain to me what a correlation is. "Yes, I understand what a correlation is," I respectfully tried to slip it in as he paused in the middle of a long explanation. But he ignored me and kept going until he finished a few minutes later. After he finished, I finally had a chance to speak up. "As I have said, I understand what a correlation is. I have attended multiple academic conferences regarding the usage of correlation for machine learning and wrote several peer-reviewed papers on this subject." I could see the reaction of those who know me in the meeting, mainly because I actually specialized in this area in my PhD in electrical engineering. Of course, the software developer did not know my background, and those who laughed certainly knew what was going on. In the real world, when you know the background, your expectations and reactions of whatever the context is will change accordingly. If I were to tell you that you can buy a 2.1 computer speaker set for $100, what are your expectations? I definitely have no expectations for anything of that price range to compete against the likes of the Audioengine HD6, and neither should you. But this got me curious about the Creative SBS E2900. The specifications on paper of this $100 2.1 computer speaker set has nothing particularly exceptional, and the price is almost too good for a 3-piece system. So are these speakers good for the money? Is it something you can enjoy? We are here to answer all your questions.

TechPowerUp: Lexar SL200 Portable SSD 1 TB Review
The Lexar SL200 Portable SSD is priced quite competitively at $120 for 1 TB. In our testing, we found good sequential transfer rates that are considerably higher than what you'll get from any HDD-based enclosure, and with 300 GB, the pseudo-SLC cache is very large, too.
