It’s now Sony’s 3D world
Posted on June 15, 2010 | No CommentsSony’s future isn’t motion control, but yet the other current home entertainment gimmick, 3D. Oh sure, Sony is fully embracing motion control as well with the Move and it works great, but let’s not call these two flavor of the weeks anything more than they are. They’re not revolutionary, groundbreaking, or really innovative. Both are [...] -
Video: Yes, that’s Crysis 2 running on the Xbox 360
Posted on June 8, 2010 | No CommentsPart of the draw of Crysis 2 is that it'll run just as well on your Xbox 360 or PS3 as it will on my PC. That's what CryTek, the game's developers, told the gaming press back in April. I saw the Xbox 360 version in action that day, and yeah: it looks insane for an Xbox 360 game; hard to believe it's running on five-year-old hardware. But now you can look at the game in action for yourself~!

Absolutely bananas Asus Rampage III Extreme motherboard first offered by Origin
Posted on April 22, 2010 | No CommentsThis is the greatest motherboard that has ever lived. It's the Asus Rampage III Extreme, and it's designed for people who do insane things like run three video cards simultaneously alongside an Intel Extreme Edition processor. People need to run Metro 2033 (and, soon, Crysis 2) at 200 frames per second. Origin is the first enthusiast builder to offer the motherboard.

Crytek ‘working closely’ with Microsoft, Sony re: motion controls
Posted on April 16, 2010 | No CommentsPretty sure Crytek, of Crysis fame, is usually associated with blazing fast graphics cards and extreme edition processors, so color me surprised to see it embracing Microsoft's Project Natal and Sony's Move. Surprised and disappointed, to be exact—I shan't be participating in this motion control business, that's for sure.

Shock: Graphics being equal, Crysis 2 said to run better on PS3 than Xbox 360 (but best on PC)
Posted on April 16, 2010 | No CommentsIt was only a few days ago that Crytek and EA showed off Crysis 2 to the world's gaming press—and CrunchGear. It looks crazy, yes, and that finely tuned opinion—"it looks crazy"—is based on the Xbox 360 version. But if we believe Crytek's business development boss, then the game runs even better on the PS3 than it does the Xbox 360. The games may look identical, or extraordinarily close to it, but the Xbox 360 is being pushed far harder than the PS3. You probably already knew that, yes.

Nvidia GTX 400 series trickling out a few days early

‘Yeah, but does it run Crysis 2?’
Posted on April 9, 2010 | No CommentsThe World's video game press gathered in New York on Tuesday for the world premiere of Crysis 2, the sequel to the game whose memory lives in on the question, "Yeah, but does it run Crysis?" It's no coincidence that Crtyek, the game's developers, and EA, the game's publisher, chose New York to show off the game, with Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli calling the city "symbolic of the pride of mankind." Clearly he hasn't been to the more rubbish sections of Queens. Yes, you're in an altogether different type of jungle this go-round.

Video: Crysis 2 debuts in Times Square
Posted on April 7, 2010 | No CommentsPedestrians in Times Square were treated to the debut trailer of Crysis 2, the next game from Crytek (and publisher EA) that will bring your PC to its knees. Well, unless you’re playing the console version. There’s a countdown timer on some sort of Web site, wonder what that means… -
The Lenovo C200 offers NVIDIA Ion 2, dual-core Atom for $499
Posted on April 7, 2010 | No Comments
Lenovo's latest flatscreen all-in-one just broke cover and it's an Intel Nvidia mash-up made in heaven. Behind the 16:9 18.5-inch 1366x768 screen hides a dual-core Intel Atom D510 CPU, which isn't too bad on its own, but the optional touchscreen and GeForce G210 GPU makes it into a solid multipurpose desktop. Of course you're not going to be running Crysis 2 on it, but it should handle full-screen Farmville without sweating.

Don’t worry: The Intel Core i3 is just fine for gaming
Posted on April 5, 2010 | No CommentsWe've seen a few systems (mainly laptops) come with the Intel Core i3, a sort of entry level, dual core processor. The questions on everyone's mind is, is it a viable processor when it comes to gaming? Apparently so~!

iPad runs circles around Snapdragon-powered Nexus One
Posted on April 5, 2010 | No CommentsSo, the iPad? I hear it's good, but again, it's not for me—don't cry. But what's indisputable? The fact that it's pretty damn fast. Even though the processor is nothing more than a stock Apple A4, it wallops the fancy Snapdragon, the 1GHz CPU found in the Nexus One (and others). The iPad: useful (to some), and quite quick. Neat.

An Oscar win for Avatar tonight is a win for 3D technology as a whole
Posted on March 7, 2010 | No CommentsTonight's Oscars are as much about technology as they are good movies. Granted, movie-making has always been about embracing new technology—critics complained when movies first appeared, when they added sound, when they added color, etc.—but Avatar can be looked at as nothing more than a glorified tech demo. A win for Avatar tonight is a win for 3D technology, end of.

Let’s talk about Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Posted on March 5, 2010 | No CommentsMost of your friendly neighborhood CrunchGear writers have played Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for at least a little bit. We have different opinions about the game, but I think we all like it to a degree. I bought it for two reason: the Eurogamer review was glowing, and I wanted to support Modern Warfare 2's most direct competitor. Genres grow stale when one game/publisher so utterly dominates it, so $50 EA's way hopefully will go toward keeping the FPS genre as fresh as it can be. I mean, there's but so many ways you can make "put-cursor-over-man's-face-and-left-click" before you're like, "Man, I'm bored, let's go bowling."

Digital Storm Black|Ops certainly looks good
Posted on February 11, 2010 | No CommentsWhat's the opinion on buying pre-built gaming PCs? I'm pretty sure there's a certain sense of pride that comes with building your own PC, but I also recognize that not everybody has all the time in the world to research motherboards, RAM timings, and all that jazz. Like, say, look at this PC. It's the Digital Storm Black|Ops (The irony of promoting a black op!), and A) it looks pretty damn cool B) it's sufficiently powerful to run Crysis on Damn High settings. I mean, I think so; Crysis is a mystery wrapped in an enigma hidden in a big box of cliches.

The ATI Radeon 5450: Eyefinity on the cheap (like $50 cheap)
Posted on February 4, 2010 | No CommentsATI just released a new, super entry level graphics card that should placate, well, not hardcore gamers, but most regular people. It's the Radeon 5450. Like other 5000 series cards, it works with Eyefinity, meaning that you can spread the image across several screens, as this image swiped from Tom's Hardware shows.
