| Looking Ahead: PS4 Games Coming In Early 2014 You Will Want To Play Posted: 03 Dec 2013 02:00 PM PST  It's been a long wait, but the PlayStation 4 is finally here. And while there are reasons beyond gaming to like the PS4, the games so far haven't been too hot. The first line-up of games to hit the console has been underwhelming, whether it's Killzone: Shadow Fall or Knack. None of the games have really taken full advantage of the new hardware, and they aren't what could be considered the flagship titles for the PS4 either. They say good things come to those who wait, and that's what the beginning of next year promises. Here are our picks to...

| Microsoft, You’re Embarrassing Yourself. Please Stop. [Opinion] Posted: 03 Dec 2013 01:00 PM PST  Microsoft, welcome! It's been too long, how are you? How's Windows 8.1 doing? That's great to hear. I made coffee, please come in. Feel free to pull up a chair, I'll be just a minute. I've got cookies. Microsoft: we need to talk. Yes, it's about those Scroogle ads. No, I don't think they're funny, and no: I don't think Google is worried about them. The Pawn Stars Problem Yeah, I saw the ad with the Pawn Stars guy. Here's your coffee, let's watch it together quickly. It's okay so far as corporate propaganda goes, but here's the thing: Chromebooks make...

| Roguelikes For Android: A New Adventure Every Time Posted: 03 Dec 2013 12:00 PM PST  How awesome would it be if a game offered a whole new world and experience every time you played it? Most games are linearly designed – and there's nothing wrong with that – but linear games tend to suffer from low replayability. On the other hand, there are roguelikes: an entire subset of RPGs where no two games are ever the same. Roguelikes – named after Rogue, which was the first to pioneer this genre of games – are defined by three main gameplay pillars: Procedurally generated content. Turn-based gameplay. Permanent death. Combine these elements into one game and you... Read the full article: Roguelikes For Android: A New Adventure Every Time |
| How To Build A Desktop Start Menu Replacement In Windows 8.1 Posted: 03 Dec 2013 11:00 AM PST  Are you tired of the Modern interface? Windows 8.1 allows you to boot to the desktop.

Step 1: Boot To Desktop This is the thing Microsoft got right in Windows 8.1: you can finally boot to the desktop natively. To enable this feature, go to the desktop, right-click the taskbar and select Properties.

| What Are The Best Launch Titles For Xbox One? Posted: 03 Dec 2013 10:00 AM PST  Just like its Sony counterpart, the Xbox One is here, only it came a week later. Like most new consoles, when you run out to the store to bring one home, you are going to want a game or two. What good is a new console without games? Well actually, the Xbox One does plenty of other non-gaming stuff, but that’s not what you are buying it for. How do you choose a game? The fact is, it’s not easy. That’s not because the releases are so good, but because the pickings are actually pretty slim. Still, if you are... Read the full article: What Are The Best Launch Titles For Xbox One? |
| Create A Killer Website Analytics Dashboard With Google Core Reporting API Posted: 03 Dec 2013 09:00 AM PST  If you had the choice between flying an airplane blindfolded or flying it with your eyes open, which would you prefer?

One way to guarantee hunger pangs is to engage in some food-related titles – the more creative the game's aim, the better! While games with food might not be as big a draw as an MMO or FPS, they can still be a lot of fun – indeed, one of the most famous games of all time is basically about snacking. But can these games teach us anything about our relationship with food? Pizza Tycoon Many people's first introduction to foody games was Pizza Tycoon (Pizza Connection in Germany, where it was...

| The 10 Best YouTube Channels For Automotive Enthusiasts Posted: 03 Dec 2013 07:00 AM PST  Cars aren’t as cool as they used to be. Fewer teenagers are applying for a driver's license every year (in the United States, at least) while European gearheads try to still have fun while dealing with emission taxes. While today's best automobiles are truly the best ever made, getting into the hobby isn't as easy as it used to be. Thankfully, YouTube can help. The Internet's favorite video streaming site is brimming with excellent automotive channels that provide informative reviews, excellent head-to-head comparisons, and in some cases, a fair bit of humor. In many ways, these channels seem to provide... Read the full article: The 10 Best YouTube Channels For Automotive Enthusiasts |

| Clean and Maintain Your Mac with MacKeeper [Giveaway] Posted: 03 Dec 2013 05:30 AM PST  Regardless of whether you use a Mac or a PC, one thing is certain: after a few years of using your computer, it will inevitably slow down. Like a vehicle, it needs regular tune-ups. Although Macs generally require less manual intervention, it’s just good practice to schedule a maintenance every couple of months. Many applications were designed for that sole purpose — CCleaner is a good example, which removes junk files such as application cache, cookies and logs; Onyx, which not only purges your Mac but also allows you to tweak certain lesser known settings. Then there’s MacKeeper — a... Read the full article: Clean and Maintain Your Mac with MacKeeper [Giveaway] |
