Renegade Ops Review

By Mike Nelson | PC Reviews | Nov 1, 2011 11:24 AM | Comment

I miss '80s action movies. I miss the ridiculous explosions, the testosterone that seems to drip off of the screen, unlimited rounds of ammunition, and did I mention explosions? These types of movies resonated with my childhood and influenced my schoolyard play sessions with G.I. Joe and Hot Wheels like no other (yes, my parents let me watch R-rated flicks as a kid). Renegade Ops allows me to live out these childhood play sessions with all of the gusto of an '80s action flick topped off with some comic book flare. It's not perfect, but it's a hell of a lot of fun while it lasts. Read More »

Battlefield 3: GPU Round-up

By Bennett Ring | PC Articles | Oct 31, 2011 6:56 PM | Comment

Battlefield 3 on the PC is arguably the best looking game ever created, so it's no surprise that it requires some serious horsepower to enable every single retina-popping feature. Given that half the gaming world is looking to upgrade just for this game, we thought we should test NVIDIA and AMD's most popular video cards to see just what you can expect at each price point. Read on to see which video cards cut through Battlefield 3 on Ultra like a heated chainsaw through butter, and which GPUs crash and burn like a noobie helicopter pilot. Read More »
