I'm having an issue with my Dell 2005FPW monitor.
When I turn on my computer from a cold boot, the monitor may never show an image on the screen. It'll just be blank and the power button orange; also, my keyboard and mouse are never initialized. It will say something along the lines of "Power...
I'm having some major issues with my ASUS GTX 570 DirectCUII.
I'm getting artifacting, weird rendering glitches such as missing textures or objects being not where they're supposed to be, and freezes and crashes. Flash video will cause the NVIDIA driver to crash! Sometimes text in my web...
I'm looking for some good prices on GTX 570s. There was that Overstock deal that lasted for a good 3 hours or something but I missed it. I'm looking for a price range of about 240-260. Preferably not Newegg cause that tax on a $200+ item just kills me.
Also, would now be a good time to buy or...
Amazon has the Sennheiser HD595's for $120.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001FTVE0/
Just hopped on this and got one for $84 (gift card + one-day shipping through Prime). I believe the cheapest they've been on Amazon is $110, but that was a Lightning Deal situation.
DEAD.
Price is $140 now.
I'm looking for a computer monitor/television for my college dorm in the range of 24" to 27" and I'm trying not to spend too much--around $400 and it's gotta be at least 1080p. I currently have a 20" Dell 2005FPW.
Is the SAMSUNG P2770HD any good...
Bloody Good Time is up for pre-order at the UbiShop for just $5. The game was announced recently and is a multiplayer-focused shooter developed by the studio who did The Ship. The game uses the Source Engine so it's likely going to be using Steamworks.
I'm not sure if $5 is the correct price...
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 has been announced for a 2012 release. It's also hinted that it's going to be a multi-platform game; hopefully that doesn't affect the gameplay.

3 days from now, Valve will be releasing Alien Swarm, an update to the original total conversion mod for Unreal Tournament 2004. Valve hired the developers behind that mod two years ago and, in their spare time, have been working on a sequel to Alien Swarm. This sequel is being built on the...
Steam is having a "Perils of Summer" sale going on from June 24 to July 4. Tons of huge sales across all genres and there will be daily sales.

Share some of the best sales you've found!
Surprised that nobody has posted a thread on this game yet. It released on Steam a couple days ago and is 25% off for the first week (it costs $7.49 right now).

It's like Audiosurf in that the gameplay is procedurally generated through your music, but...
On consoles, at least.
I wasn't expecting amazing graphics from the consoles or anything, but these look horrendous. :/
Crytek still have over half a year to improve the graphics, but, man, these screens they released today look really bad.

PC Games Hardware has an article up comparing DX9 to DX11 in Aliens vs Predator.
It's not super in-depth, but it gives a decent overview of the differences. There are also benchmarks (DX11 is slower with all the effects)...
DICE has themselves confirmed that they've been developing Battlefield 3 for some years.

It's not much, but it's some news about Battlefield 3. :p
I think this means that the StarCraft 2 beta is coming VERY soon.

A reference to a game called 'Whiskey Sour' was found in Left 4 Dead's level creation files a while back. Nobody really made that big a deal of it, though.
But it looks like the game might be announced soon. The Turtle Rock Studios website was updated with a new western-themed design recently...

GameSpot just posted an interview with Chet Faliszek which contains a ton of new footage from Hard Rain.
The storm just looks amazing.

Minh Le, the creator of Counter-Strike, just announced his new game Tactical Intervention. Valve did start on a Counter-Strike 2, but Le said it "never really got off the ground." Tactical Intervention is, in a way, Le's interpretation of Counter-Strike 2. The game is being built on a highly...

My XFX 8800 GTS 512 has been acting funny lately. After maybe about thirty minutes to an hour of gaming, my system will crash. Before it crashes, a bunch of artifacts will show up on the screen before I get a blue screen error message (sometimes it says something like hardware error and other...

EA sent out a survey. In it they asked questions about Command & Conquer 4, the "epic conclusion to the 15-year Tiberium saga."
I don't believe there was any NDA or anything, so maybe they intended for this to get out.
Anyway, here's some proof...
Another great in-house port by Capcom. The performance is fantastic. I get 40 FPS with my 8800 GTS 512 at 1680x1050, max settings, 16xQ AA. SF4 ranks that as a 'D', though. :/

EVGA is giving away Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason for free to those who own one of their GT200 series cards.
If anybody has a qualifying card and doesn't want the game, I'd be happy to take it. :D
A public alpha has been released for AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! -- A Reckless Disregard for Gravity, and it's... pretty awesome, to be honest. It contains 8 maps and 1 mode.
http://www.dejobaan.com/aaaaa/index.htm
I lol'd at the ending after you beat all 8 levels.
I think EA got the message:
People don't like restrictive DRM.
They've dumped DRM in favor of the old-school basic CD check.

50% from April 27 to 30.

Their catalog isn't that large, but there are some good games such as Cryostasis and Men of War.
This site uses that stupid download expiration thing, though.
