Alien: Isolation (for PC)
2014-10-28 22:03:15| PC Magazine: New Product Reviews
Creative Assembly's game is worthy of Ridley Scott's original Alien. If you're a fan of that sci-fi horror classic, or survival horror, or stealth games, give Alien: Isolation a try.
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor (for PC)
2014-10-27 19:03:21| PC Magazine: New Product Reviews
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor has a cool way to allow your actions to develop your enemies in its Nemesis system. And it looks nice, too, but shallow combat and frustrating design choices mar this Tolkien-inspired PC brawler.

The iPad Air 2, with a tri-core CPU, is almost as fast as a modern PC
2014-10-22 15:32:59| Extremetech
This morning, the first reviews of the iPad Air 2 started to roll off the presses. If you want me to save you 10 minutes, here's a summary: The iPad Air 2 is a thinner and lighter version of its predecessor, the first iPad Air. Yes, the camera is better -- but it's still not as good as the iPhone 5S or 6. Yes, it now has a Touch ID sensor, which will utterly blow your mind -- and yes, the new "bonded" display feels like you're touching the pixels. What interests me the most, however, is that the iPad Air 2 is powered by the A8X SoC -- a chip with three billion transistors, and a tri-core CPU that gets uncomfortably close to laptop levels of performance, and a decent GPU to boot.
Apple earnings up, but the iPad continues its ironic decline just like the PC it tried to replace
2014-10-21 17:42:51| Extremetech
Apple (AAPL) held its Q4 2014 earnings call yesterday, and despite (unsurprisingly) record profits from the iPhone and Mac departments, CEO Tim Cook admitted that the iPad isn't doing as well as it used to -- and, rather amusingly, the stagnation of iPad sales seems to be rooted in the same underlying cause of slowing PC sales: After you've bought an iPad, there's very little reason to upgrade.
