 | | DFI Infinity 975X/G Motherboard Review | Posted by: Ben on 13th of October 2006 | | DFI is well known for its LANParty series of overclocking enthusiast motherboards, but the firm also makes some slightly more modest boards in its Ifinity line. These boards do not boast the same bright colour schemes nor the reams of extras of the LanParties, but offer superb performance and the same awesome level of tweaking we have come to expect from DFI. | |

 | | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Review [PC] | Posted by: Core on 24th of May 2006 | | For me to write a role playing game review is a rare thing. Although I love the fantasy setting of most RPG’s, to me most titles are very limited and frustratingly linear. I think it was because one the very first RPG’s way back when I first got a PC was very open-ended, so therefore I expected every other title afterwards to follow that path. Sadly, this isn’t the case as for years we have been subjected to what’s considered ‘mainstream role playing’. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion shatters that mould entirely and finally redefines what a true RPG should be; immersive and open ended. | |

 | | Command and Conquer: The First Decade Review [PC] | Posted by: Ben on 05th of April 2006 | | Whilst Command and Conquer certainly wasn’t the first ever RTS game, it was most definitely the title brought the genre to mass popularity on the PC. It has launched a thousand imitations and a host of highly successful sequels for its author – Westwood Studios. Now in the hands of EA, Command and Conquer: The First Decade is a compilation of all six major C&C releases, fully updated and compatible with Windows XP. The game also features all additional mission packs (apart from the appalling sole survivor), making it exceptional value for money if you are new to the franchise. | |

 | | Gun Review [PS2] | Posted by: Gil8ert on 18th of December 2005 | | TUN tun tun tun, TUN tun tun tun, TUN tun tun tun – The unmistakable sound of Indian drums way off in the distance. Docile Buffalo roam the plains peacefully, nibbling the grass with some quiet grunts and snuffles. Overhead an eagle circles, soaring on the air currents and spotting for prey. On the horizon great pillars of stone loom like giant teeth that have been thrust up through the earths crust and left to cast a red shadow over the surrounding plains. A mountain lion stalks the craggy heights looking for a meal. The eye pulls back and shifts its gaze to a small town down below. The church bell begins its lowly toll and villagers scatter into whatever safe holds they can find. It’s noon. | |

| | | | Cooler Master Mystique 631 Review @ GruntvillE.com | | | | "Case manufacturers are finally getting away from the “pre-mod” frame-of-mind and designing intuitive, functional enclosures to accommodate the latest computer technology rather than the token side window and cheap chrome plastic bezel. For a modest C-note, you can now get a sturdy, light-weight aluminum case with tool-less fasteners, dual 120mm fans, and provisions for water-cooling. The Mystique is Cooler Master’s latest effort in their push away from the “pre-mod” mainstream."

| | Gigabyte M59SLI-S5 motherboard review | | | | Those looking at upgrading to the new AMD AM2 platform will no doubt select a motherboard sporting a chipset from the latest NVIDIA nForce 500 series. The nForce 570 Ultra and SLI are excellent mainstream parts offering exceptionally good performance along with an amazing list of features.
However, if you are willing to spend even more the nForce 590 SLI would become your number one choice, as this is what NVIDIA likes to call a "MCP engineered for enthusiasts." Currently, there are only a few nForce 590 SLI motherboards available, or at least there is only a select few I would bother looking at. Early last month we reviewed the ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe which we found to be exceptional.
This time around we bring you the Gigabyte M59SLI-S5, a similarly equipped motherboard that will be facing a tough test ahead with the M2N32-SLI Deluxe having already set such high standards.
