December 16, 2008 - Simulator games, at least to some, are the best form of gaming experience available anywhere. Sure you could consider Left 4 Dead a simulated practice of what to do in case we ever find ourselves stranded with a war vet, biker and hot college chick in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, but usually with simulator games were talking about piloting aircraft and racecars. For maximum effect, manufacturers have even developed realistic peripherals like steering wheels and cockpit flight controls to heighten the experience. While those tools help provide some added realism factor, they're nothing compared to the full-sized simulators that typically only astronauts, pilots and racecar drivers have access to. Well you future Jeff Gordan's are in luck, as a new pro racing simulator is making its way to the general public. More »

December 15, 2008 - Oh, what a familiar feeling! An Apple event looms just around the corner and the rumor mill is churning yet again.

December 15, 2008 - Since the launch of the iTunes App Store, Apple has imposed fairly strict approval requirements for the release of new apps by independent developers. Some apps have been refused for explicit or unfriendly content, while others were denied simply because they too closely mimicked either an existing or upcoming Apple-developed app. Considering the general youth-based age range of the typical iPhone/iTouch user, most believed that these restrictions would remain indefinitely, but it appears that Apple feels that practically all apps deserve a shot, as they've announced plans to ease up on restrictions and include a category for apps of a more hardcore nature.

December 12, 2008 - Most PlayStation 3 owners are new to Blu-ray hardware, and while just about any high-definition setup will provide breathtaking visual and audio presentation, there are a number of ways to fine-tune your player to maximize your player's performance. While one half of the equation involves components beyond your PS3, such as the calibration settings on your DLP, LCD, or Plasma TV, these devices must be adjusted on a case-by-case basis. No two viewers are the same nor are two viewing environments—people are picky when it comes to tech. However, the PS3 is host to a number of onboard settings that, if calibrated properly, can ensure the best possible source video for your home theater setup. More »
