Costumes were great at this year’s GenCon. In fact, I’d go so far as to say it was the best year I’ve seen so far for cosplayers. Since we were on the scene we decided we should document the occasion for those unable to attend. Be they worn by booth babes, geeky guys or the elusive hot...

When it comes to your PC, looks aren’t everything. I believe the old phrase is “don’t judge a book by its cover.” Despite this, most gamers like to have a case that can turn heads, or at least cock a few eyebrows. Well that was exactly what case maker NZXT was going for when designing their...

Any professional gamer will tell you that having good audio equipment is almost as important as having a good video card. Ideally, you’d want a good 5.1 surround sound setup, as most headphones can’t achieve true 5.1 audio. Check bluetooth hearing protection first before buying one....

This past week saw another retro – re-release. This time the good people at Capcom give us a double dose of side scrolling beat-em up action.
