Notebook Review: Fujitsu Pi 3560

Feb 14th, 2010 | By leimrod | Category: Tech and the Net

I’m going to be selling off my desktops in the next month or so, so I went about looking for a cheap desktop replacement notebook. I didn’t want to break the bank getting one, but I also didn’t want to have to do without some of the games I play regularly. I ended up finding [...]

If you are in anyway involved in PC gaming and building PC’s you will have heard the name “Futuremark”. They are the standard for benchmarking your PC to see how well it can handle graphically intensive games with their software “3Dmark.

Rotten Tomatoes: Battle for Terra review

May 14th, 2009 | By leimrod | Category: Media

Recently I expressed my excitement at the release of this new CGI space epic, which, from the premise and teaser trailers looked like it could be excellent. Recently I felt let down with Monsters vs. Aliens, and had a couple of laughs watching Bolt so I was really hoping for a CGI movie to bring back the glory days of Toy Story or Shrek. Alas, it looks like this movie won’t. Watch the review after the jump that is hardly glowing.



On the fly: Killzone 2

May 5th, 2009 | By leimrod | Category: Games

I tend to rent a lot of my games as I move on fairly quickly to a new game so owning them is of little use to me, but the service I use for renting games seems to of clogged up recently, meaning I don’t get the games I want to play as fast as I used to. Which is why i’m only getting around to Killzone 2 now. I ended up getting a loan of it off a friend who loved it.

Also, being a bit of a PC gamer elitist, I really don’t like playing FPS games on the console with a controller instead of a keyboard and mouse.
