I can't imagine that there are too many out there who are content with the shutdown of the US government, especially those 800,000 or so workers who have been furloughed. Then of course there are those who'd love to make a trip to a national park or landmark, but can't, because such things simply can't exist until the...

Most manufacturers, CyberPowerPC included, tend to build gaming notebooks primarily with 17-inch displays.

The lead-up to the launch of NVIDIA's SHIELD sure has been a strange one. At one point, demand had been so strong for the device, that NVIDIA pulled pre-orders ahead by a couple of days, and then, it dropped the price for the same reason. Then last month, when we were just about to see it hit the market, the company discovered a flaw that...

As a kid of the 80s, I dreamed of playing video games professionally - long before it was commonplace. Movies like The Wizard might have helped with that, along with the legendary Nintendo World Championship. Little did I realize at the time, pro-gaming was most certainly going to become a very big thing in the...

Indie Game: The Movie helped a lot of people realize just how intensive the process of creating a video game really is. But imagine if you had to swap coding for hand-drawing.
