Review: Windows 8 Consumer Preview

Basic InformationWindows 8: Consumer Preview (32-bit)Build 8250Released on 29 February, 2012Final release date undecidedIntroductionMicrosoft is known to build good operating systems only in alternate releases. Windows XP was well-received and enjoyed good support up to Service Pack 3. I'm sure many of us even use it today because it's a gamer's haven for anyone who does not have fancy hardware specifications. Vista dampened most and the critics were, without a doubt, not happy with the effort. Windows 7 saw that change, and a big chunk of the consumer group seemed to appreciate it. What does Windows 8 bring to us? Will it be another failure? Will Microsoft ultimately break the streak of building good OS-bad OS?Minimum Hardwa...

Torchlight - Abit like Diablo

Heya everyone.(Please note that this is my first ever review of a game! Actually my first review of anything at all!so please let me know what you think about it, and what i could do better!)Recently (yesterday >_<) i began playing a game called Torchlight.It reminds me a whole lot about Diablo II, and it got a load of similar features, you couldcall it a "Diablo Clone" i guess. Most "Cloned" games usually suck, like all thoes F2P(Free to play) MMO's thats out there, they got bad graphics, weird controls, not the best content, and are mostly just a really bad "clones".But with Torchlight this is not the case. The game is actually really entertaining so far!Pros:-Randomly generated level...

18 Wheels Of Steel: Extreme Trucker 2

http://xtragfx.com/uploads/posts/2011-01-15/1295101320_18.wheels.of.steel.extreme.trucker.2.500px.jpgActually I'm rather disappointed, not what I expected, I thought the game would improve, but instead it got worse.The graphics are still the same as the previous version, they have not changed a bit, the same with the sounds and menus.They have added some new areas and cargos, as well as trucks, the previous driving areas remain unchanged.The gameplay got worse, the trucks are harder to control, simulation-style, sometimes becomes so complicated that mission must be repeated 4 or 5 times, because trucks will fall into a ravine, you get stuck on the side of the road, hit a tree, etc. Making it really frustrating.Expected something diff...
