Lost Planet 2 Performance Preview
OCC has published an article on Lost Planet 2 Performance

Playing Lost Planet 2 in DirectX 11 mode is a more satisfying experience, as you get more depth to the environment and its inhabitants. Add in NVIDIA 3D Vision and 3D Vison Surround and you another level of visual satisfaction. To reach this level of detail though, it does take its toll on the video card's performance. At this point in the game's development, the compute architecture of NVIDIA's Fermi-based product line does deliver a higher level of performance when the eye candy is turned up, from the top to bottom of the ladder.

Point of View GeForce GTX 460 768MB TGT Ultra Charged Review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the Point of View GeForce GTX 460 768MB TGT Ultra Charged video card

We test and review the Point of View GeForce GTX 460 768MB TGT Ultra Charged. The Ultra Charged models come with a staggering Core frequency of 820Mhz and a Memory clock (effective) at 4000 MHz.

The high clocks had us a little worried at first. But even at its default 820 MHz the card remains very silent and levels at acceptable temperatures.

Definitely stuff to be on the lookout for, check out the Guru3D.com review right here.

Samsung HZ35W / WB650 GPS Digital Camera Review
Everything USB posted a review on the Samsung HZ35W / WB650 Digital Camera

Samsung once again wants to show the world they are innovators in the point-n-shoot camera arena. They want to show the world you can have a "super zoom" camera with advanced features which is not as big as a brick. They also want to show you don't need external attachments to get GPS/Geo-Tagging. To do all this, Samsung have released their HZ35W / WB650 15x compact Point & Shoot camera. Can one camera do all this? Read on for my full review.

The Verdict:
The Samsung HZ35W / WB650 certainly is a very nice camera which makes extremely vivid shots. The fact they have not only crammed a good 15x lens and a GPS antenna but the horsepower to run some great on-board features is impressive. If they had only included a burst mode, a better flash, toned down the over saturation & over softening of the pictures it makes and spent more time on the ergonomics this would be THE P&S camera to measure all others against.

The Good:
+ Very good GPS antenna
+ Produces rich vibrant photos
+ Beautiful AMOLED screen
+ SMART Auto really is smart!
+ Good battery life

The Bad:
- Short warranty
- No burst mode (except for 2 shot burst for blink mode)
- Blink and face detection don't really work with glasses
- ISO 3200 is at best all but useless
- Ergonomic issues and TINY buttons
- Anemic flash
- No SD card included
- Photos it produces are over saturated
- Photos are over softened and then over sharpened producing pictures lacking in fine detail (under certain circumstances)

SilverStone has pioneered a whole new type of hardware in the HDDBoost. The Idea is simple the execution is very well done and overall is quite a nice product. Installing it was far simpler than I had expected and there was no additional input really needed.

Techgage.com posted a review of OCZ's PCI Express-based RevoDrive SSD

Looking to upgrade your PC with a fast SSD? How fast do you want it? If you answered "ultra fast", then OCZ's RevoDrive is worth a look.

We're on the bleeding-edge here, though, so this drive isn't without a few caveats.

Samsung Wave is a great opener for the Bada platform, but lacks competitive vigor to take on the big guns.

Patriot Gauntlet PCGT25S Drive Enclosure Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the Patriot Gauntlet PCGT25S Drive Enclosure

USB 3.0, aka "SuperSpeed USB", is finally out, and it brings massively improved throughput and performance over USB 2.0. At 4.8Gbps, it's ten times faster than USB 2.0's maximum of 480Mbps. The only problem is that very few devices are available with USB 3.0 interfaces. Patriot's "Gauntlet" external drive enclosure is one such, and Benchmark Reviews checks out the Patriot Gauntlet SuperSpeed USB Edition PCGT25S external drive enclosure with an OCZ Vertext Turbo 120G SSD to see how its performance compares with USB 2.0 speeds as well as a direct SATA connection.

brite-View CinemaTube Mini / CinemaGo 1080P Media Streamer and Player Review
TestFreaks takes a look at the brite-View CinemaTube Mini / CinemaGo 1080P Media Streamer and Player

Back in April I reviewed the Brite-View CinemaTube and since then they’ve released a new smaller player called the CinemaGo. This one is small and portable and it comes with an 802.11N wireless dongle for wireless networking ability. The CinemaGo comes with two USB ports and an eSATA port along with HDMI and composite connections. The interface is kind of basic really but it works for playing your media. You can play media from a hard drive or a USB drive or right off of your network like your computer or network attached storage device.

Corsair AX850 Power Supply Review
KitGuru posted a review on the Corsair AX850 Power Supply

A short while ago we reviewed Corsair’s top of the line AX1200 PSU and it walked away with a score of 9.5/10 and our top award. It earned this by delivering record breaking efficiency (93%) with an incredibly potent and ultimately stable power delivery.

The only downside with this unit was the £235 price tag which it carried, ensuring that only the richest and most demanding of enthusiast users could ever afford it.

A few weeks ago we received the AX850 power supply and we have put it through its paces since then, ensuring that it can deliver in the same manner as its bigger brother. This model will be more appealing as it is much more affordable. When you see that Corsair are offering an industry leading 7 year warranty then it seems they have every faith in this unit to be a long term investment.

But in my opinion a dedicated solution for storage, such as a NAS would be more practical. In this review we'll be taking a look at some solutions.
