Things have changed a lot since then, but not quite as much as you might expect. While we all upgraded our optical drives from CD …

It’s easy to build a great computer case if it’s going to retail for $250 or more. Actually, I take that back: judging by some of the cases I’ve seen, maybe it’s not that easy! While a high retail price is no guarantee of quality or usability, it’s certainly more of a challenge to come out with a really great …

Things used to be simple. I could always count on the lack of left-handed Logitech employees to protect my right-handed superiority complex. But now, Logitech has upset things by releasing an ambidextrous G300 Gaming Mouse. I’d like to simply deny its existence as I do with The Matrix sequels and the Vanilla Frosty, but I can’t. You see, the numerous …

The game feels great. Its not just the updated graphics or changes in gameplay. Everything around you is more solid, has more weight to it.Mass Effect was a game of unbelievable depth, but (dont hit me for this) once it came to action, it was simplistic and unimpressive.

That said, as time passes small issues that can cause problems in rare instances are isolated and solutions are implemented on an ongoing basis to make products better. Corsair has …

What makes the move even braver is the fact that this mouse is anything but a budget entry. Tipping the scales at a costly£80 it is right up there with some very stiff competition. Granted wireless gaming mice are never a cheap option and not normally as advanced as wired gaming mice so to price the AIVIA M8600 so high …
