Review: Super Dragonball - PS2

Monday, September 4th, 2006

You are probably already wondering why we are featuring a new Dragonball Z game for the PS2. The primary reason is the fact that the key people responsible for the arcade fighting masterpiece Street Fighter 2 are working on Super DBZ’s development team and that this latest Dragon Ball Z game would play and feel more like the fighters of the bygone Street Fighter era. Super DBZ not only sticks to

Dell XPS 700 reviewed and ripped apart

Monday, September 4th, 2006

Filed under: ,

It’s not often that you read a review of a computer with a line like “You could kill someone with this thing,” but the folks at bit-tech.net got to write that gem in their look at Dell’s new gaming-oriented XPS 700, referring to the deadly-looking 3-millimeter thick piece of aluminum that forms the case’s side panel. Unfortunately, they weren’t as impressed with the system’s performance as they were with its decapitating potential, finding it decidedly lacking when put up against their comparable custom-built rig — although much of the blame seems to be pegged on the slow memory that Dell ships with the XPS. Still, they did find the system got most of the core elements right and delivered decent gaming performance at a reasonable price; given the cost of upgrades from Dell, though, they recommend going light on the memory and video card options when you order and swapping them out yourself when you get this sucker home.

We saw this picture and just felt compelled to share it with you, the gaming public. Apparently snagged from a recent photo shoot for a new magazine coming out called Geek Weekly, we see our favorite tech variety show host Kevin Pereira in a rather sexually confusing pose with fellow gaming hottie Jessica Chobot from IGN.

It’s always good to see others in the game industry not take themselves too seriously and be willing to have a little fun in the name of all that is geek. You may catch some heat for that picture Kevin, but we got ya back.
