This new trailer sets up the epic story line for the upcoming StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty set to launch next week. This is probably the most video and story elements we’ve seen from Blizzard so far. It really makes me wonder how much money they could make by just making a full blown movie.

“Hell, it’s about time.”

The latest installment of Total War obviously looks gorgeous when you throw thousands of dollars of computer hardware at it, but what about those of us running on older rigs. Remember, this is a PC game so not every game is going to run as smoothly as they do on console systems. Which is why [...]

I first got this mouse because I needed an ergonomic mouse for long hours of work. Since this mouse would be used for work I decided to look for a new mouse outside of my norm. At home I’ve been using a Logitech MX610 (Right-handed version discontinued) for years and I love it’s ability to [...]
