The GN team had an incredible time at PAX East 2011. There's nothing quite like walking around for 20 hours in a day, writing dozens of articles to keep up with new hardware and games, and then laying down in a massive auditorium to watch Paul and Storm to finish the day.

If you're planning on attending PAX East 2012 (and if you aren't, you should go sign up NOW!), here's the list of bands playing throughout the weekend, as announced by Gabe:

Spacetime Studios, creators of the Legends franchise which include such titles as Pocket Legends and the cross-platform MMO, Star Legends: The Blackstar Chronicles, stated in a press release that the company is taking on a challenge many have been waiting for: a vampire-based MMO.

Dark Legends is a horror-themed, "end times" MMO app where humans have begun taking action against vampire society. The vampires, however, will not just stand by and die out -- so the conflict begins. Not many details have been released quite yet, but the game (exclusive to Android, iOS, and Google Chrome) has already raised a few eyebrows in interest. Sharpen your fangs and prepare a crimson beverage, this game is slated for release in the first quarter of 2012.

When you really start getting elbow-deep into PC building and specs -- much deeper than our recent budget PC builds have gone -- it's easy to get overwhelmed by all the acronyms and terminology used by white papers and specification sheets. Our previous video card guide looked at the pros and cons of AMD vs. NVIDIA for gaming, but this one is (relatively) universal and can be applied to almost all aspects of graphics processing technology. This "GPU Dictionary" explains the difference between memory clocks and core clocks, shader specs, what a ROP is, and some other basic (and fun) GPU phrases.

Similar to our surprisingly in-depth case fan guide, this GPU dictionary is outlined in such a way that it will retain relevance through time, so - for the most part - you won't have to worry about re-learning anything.

Sonic CD Review

Vital Stats

Platform PCXbox360PS3Mobile Gaming
Genre PlatformerArcade
Developer Blit Software
Publisher SEGA

It's been a very long time since I could say this, but there is FINALLY another good Sonic game out. SEGA has been pushing 3D crap with Sonic out for years, instead of staying true to the roots of the series and keeping him in a 2D platform setting that makes sense to the playstyle.

Sonic CD brings back the original game in all of its 2D glory, and I must say the few visual enhancements that were made really helped to set the game apart. Your best moments will feature a “future” sign post flipped instead of “past” (much like the old flags that you had to hit to get the secret stages), reverting the visuals from the old style to an updated, futuristic look. Everything looks shiny and new -- even Sonic gets a bit gussied up for the occasion.

I recently spoke with someone who claimed he'd never divert from AMD, despite what Intel or nVidia have available. For innumerable reasons, brand loyalty and fanboyism leads to ignorance and decreased performance. None of these brands are immaculate and all of them are prone to failures and shortcomings -- in this nVidia vs. AMD for gaming piece, we'll focus on the advantages of each and how you can make informed decisions about video / graphics cards selections for your gaming rigs.

Our friend and developer of Digitanks is offering his game up for free as a protest of SOPA and PROTECT-IP, the two internet censorship bills that are being combated today.

"I encourage everybody to pirate Digitanks for free. If this legislation passes then I won’t be able to make a living on the internet, so you may as well pirate my games," Jorge Rodriguez, developer of Digitanks, posted on his blog.
