Asus Xonar DX is the inexpensive version of the full fat PCI-Express Xonar D2X. Now featuring an extended emulated EAX in addition to Dolby features and high quality components, does this make the Xonar DX the ultimate soundcard?

[19]

Gaming | 25th May 2008

The full name is actually "Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness", but we couldn't fit it in the headline. No matter. The real issue is whether or not Tycho and Gabe can make a game worth playing. We take the Xbox 360 version out for a spin...

Overclocked: A History of Violence

[5]

Gaming | 24th May 2008

We know all about overclocking, or at least we thought we did. Turns out that overclocking isn't actually anything to do with increasing the performance of a system component. It's actually a psychological thriller from House of Tales. Weird, eh?
