Maingear Pulse 11 review a small and suprisingly powerful gaming laptop

More Info

Gaming laptops are strange beasts. While they may have been lugged all the way to the LAN party, they aren't too much fun to use on a plane. That was, until the advent of Alienware's 11-inch M11x, which kept the fast internals at the expense of weight and battery life. When it was unceremoniously yanked by parent company Dell, it left a gap in the market for people who really did need a gaming laptop on the go.

Fortunately, Clevo stepped in with its W110ER, an 11-inch laptop that companies like Maingear and others have tweaked to sell as their own. Packing an Ivy Bridge CPU, NVIDIA's Kepler-based GeForce GT 650M and the same 1366 x 768 display as the M11x, it's obviously trying to step into Alienware's shoes. So, is this the new standard-bearer for small-yet-powerful gaming laptops? Does it really blow us away with its power? Will you want to part with a minimum of $999 to get hold of one? Read on to find out.

Crytek’s CryEngine 3 makes it easier than ever for devs to build games as pretty as Crysis

Crytek's new CryEngine 3 makes it easier than ever for devs to make games as pretty as Crysis

It's not every day you get to speak with the folks who make one of the most advanced game engines in the world, but today at E3, Crytek (you know, the folks responsible for Crysis) let us in on some of the secrets behind its latest game platform, CryEngine 3. We sat down with Kirthy Iyer, an animation technologist at Crytek, and had him walk us through some of CE3's tools that are enabling publishers to build games for any platform -- including PC, PS3 or Xbox 360 -- faster and better than ever. Among the highlights are a "multi-layer navigation mesh" that automates the movements of AI-controlled game characters, and super realistic water rendering technologies. We could go on singing CryEngine's praises, but instead we'll let you get all the details from Mr. Iyer in the video after the break. Enjoy.

Crysis 3 Images Leaked Via EA’s Origin

Posted on by

I’ll be honest, when I bought Mass Effect 3 I wasn’t happy that the game forced me to install Origin to be able to play the game. The last thing I want is one more memory hogging program running all the time on my computer. At least Origin had the decency to leak some images from Crysis 3 as a reward.

A large banner and small box art for Crysis 3 Limited Edition turned up on Origin today. In addition to the banner, product listings turned up for Xbox 360 and PC versions of the game. Obviously since the game isn’t available for pre-order yet, the add to cart and more info buttons weren’t working .

crysis 3 leaked images

The images appear to be the main character we’re used to seeing firing a bow of some sort. I can see buildings in the background making it appear that the next game will be set in another urban environment. I love the Crysis series, and can’t wait for this game to come out. We don’t have long to wait to find out more, as the game is expected to be officially announced on April 16th.
