GamingHeaven posted a review on Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm Of Zehir for the PC

Storm Of Zehir is the latest add on for Neverwinter Nights 2 and it is different in style to Mask Of The Betrayer. This game offers an expansive environment and lets you - the hero explore the world, free of a forced linear based 'main quest' able to explore the world on your own.

DFI Lanparty LT X48 T3RS Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the DFI Lanparty LT X48 T3RS

There are also many more advantages which will give it a performance edge over many motherboards on the market today. These include it being an Intel socket LGA775, which currently supports some of the most powerful CPU's on the market. The board has an X48 chipset, and currently the premier gaming chipset. There is also support for DDR3, the fast growing standard in RAM. DDR3 can hit much higher speeds than DDR2 memory, making it far superior. With all these specifications, this board easily classifies itself as a high end gaming board. It should compete with the best gaming boards out there, giving you unparalleled performance.

Lately, the Asus ROG (Republic of Gamers) line of motherboards have been able to keep up with, and in some cases surpass DFI boards. And it seems as if DFI is becoming more of a second class board compared to the pure level of Asus's resources in making more advanced motherboards, though DFI should not be counted out if you are in the market for an X48 platform motherboard. Despite Asus being at DFI's heels lately, the DFI LanParty LT X48 T3RS should still prove to be a great gaming motherboard, along with providing a high overclock.

StudioDock 3i - Active USB Monitors Review
TestFreaks.com posted a review on the StudioDock 3i

Samsontech has sent me over their StudioDock 3i Active USB Monitors, yeah it's a fancy name for a set of speakers, but they're so much more than that. These speakers include an iPod dock, USB input and standard RCA inputs as well so they can be used for much more than just your PC. On the front of the speakers is even another input jack and a headphone jack along with a volume control knob to easily adjust the sound. These are a relatively inexpensive set of speaker that are decent sounding and can provide a nice audio solution for someone with an iPod and any other audio devices.

Noctua NH-U12P Heatsink Review
OCModShop posted a review on the Noctua NH-U12P Heatsink

It seems like everyone and their mother has a heatsink out now. Companies known for their graphics cards, power supply moguls, and case manufacturers have all had their go at making the latest and greatest heatsink. And most of the time, the ugliest. And now someone else wants to put their chilly mark on the cooling industry. Actually, it's a whole freaking country. They call themselves Noctua, and they want to show us that Austrians are as cool as the rest of us.

My test product this friendly afternoon is the NH-U12P from the good people at Noctua. It boasts the quality of sound-optimized premium components, including the new NF-P12 fan which has been specially designed for high air pressure and flow. The fan even has Vortex-Control Notches, a proclaimed psychoacoustic optimization that enables maximum airflow without sacrificing your peace and quiet.

Lenovo ThinkPad X301 Review
ITreviewed posted a review on the Lenovo ThinkPad X301

As far as we were concerned, Lenovo's ThinkPad X300 was already a stellar ultra-portable Windows-based laptop. Okay, so it no FireWire or DVI ports and opting for a solid state drive (SSD) added a lot of extra cost, but the machine offered performance, battery life, quality, reliability and functionality at a great price. Just four months on and Lenovo has unveiled its successor, the ThinkPad X301. The slim-and-light system, again seen as a direct competitor to Apple's MacBook Air, offers more storage options in addition to DDR3 memory and the latest low-voltage Intel Core 2 Duo processors.

PALIT Radeon HD 4870 512MB Sonic Dual Video Card Review
TheTechLounge posted a review on the PALIT Radeon HD 4870 512MB Sonic Dual Video Card

Having already taken a crowbar to prices like a spree-killing Yellow Man, the 4870's refresh seems overdue. The card, stonkin' as it is, has an annoying stock heatsink and a lot of untapped overclocking potential. There's a short list of non-stock, factory-overclocked 4870s that need reviewing. First on my list is Palit's Radeon HD 4870 Sonic Dual. With its long heatsink and large fans, not to mention namesake, the thing promises quiet, and at the flick of a switch, overclocking. Not everything stood up to scrutiny. At least it's still inexpensive.

The XFX GeForce 260 GTX is outperforming and outclassing the XFX 8800 GT 512MB XXX that a few months ago was the reigning champion of the $200-$300 price range. It'll be hard to find a card with a better value to performance ratio than the XFX GeForce 260 GTX for the holiday season.

ATI Catalyst 8.12 Performance Analysis
TestFreaks.com posted an ATI Catalyst 8.12 Performance Analysis

So last week ATI was kind enough to send me over their new Catalyst Drivers, version 8.12, for testing, not only does it include several improvements but also the new AVIVO Video Converter Program that utilizes the ATI Graphics Chip for faster encoding of videos. This version isn't due out until the 10th, but I've been hard at it testing the performance in several games for comparison between version 8.11 and version 8.12. So read on to learn what I learned, I tested with many games including FarCry2, Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Call of Duty World at War, Fallout3 and Spiderman Web of Shadows as well

Lian Li Silent Force 850W Review
OCC has published a new review on the Lian Li Silent Force 850W

The Lian Li Silent Force 850W will provide what most PC users want: stable rails up to its rated maximum power. The efficiency, although very good, is borderline as far as 80 Plus certification is concerned, and at one point we get a power factor that dips below the required level of 0.9. The DC level and ripple on the 5V0 are slightly high, but don't let this put you off using the Silent Force 850W. It's a minor problem and will not, in my opinion, affect real world operation of the supply. If efficiency and power factor aren't top of your list of requirements, then this power supply will easily run all dual graphic card configurations with ease, and is on par with other power supplies in its class. The performance of the Lian Li Silent Force 850W power supply, although not perfect, was solid.

When it comes to mobile gaming, the issue of audio is one commonly ignored. The sounds coming from the games on your PSP or iPhone aren't the most intriguing, so most people simply mute their mobile gaming device in public. Those little gadgets are for more than just games though. If you're going to listen to music, you probably don't want the cheap stock earbuds included with your device. Enter the Razer Moray in-ear headphones, today's review item.
