Anyone who thinks Game/GS going out of business is good for the general consumer has no understanding of basic economics. Yes Game usually sold titles at close to RRP, but they were the high street #1, and that forced other bricks and mortar stores into discounting. When GAME close you can be...

Just my 2 cents: I agree with the principle behind forefoot running - I've started trying it myself on some of my runs and have found that once you build up certain foot and calf muscles it becomes a very comfortable way of running. However, VFF's are all hype with very little substance -...

I used to own a 150bhp MK4 1.8T GTI, but got to drive a 170bhp Golf V5 extensively as our company had one as a pool car (it was the company car of one of the managers, but we kept it after he left the company). In my opinion the V5 was the better car. It didn't feel much faster than my GTI...

Wow -I find everyone's Clarkson-esque attitudes to Vauxhall here quite amazing. I work in the industry in the powertrain division for one of GM's main rivals, but even I have to admit the quality of engineering and build in their recent models (in particular the new Astra and Insignia) is first...

I would say theres a big difference between the 5870 and the 5730. The latter only has half the number of stream processors ( 800 vs 400) and much lower memory bandwidth as it uses GDDR3 instead of GDDR5. If you check out this website...

If you google 'MSI GX740 Mikro' the first link is the one I am talking about, but they are out of stock at the moment. To be honest, I didn't ask about the warranty when I bought mine, but I've just dug out the box and there is a warranty service book and warranty card inside. The warranty...

You've actually listed two different laptops there. Spec A is the MSI GX740 while Spec B is the MSI GT740. For gaming, the GX740 is definitely the one to go for due to the GPU. Remember you can always add an external blu ray drive later if you want. If you live anywhere near London, there...

Take a look at the MSI GX740. For it's £999 RRP, you get a Core i5 430M, paired with a Radeon Mobility 5870. 4GB RAM, 17" 1650 x 1080 screen. The 5870 is the fastest single mobile GPU currently available, so it's sub 1K price looks like a bargain.

In addition to the Asics Gel Evolution, try: - Mizuno Wave Alchemy 9 - Brooks Beast - Saucony ProgRid Stabil CS I personally have the Mizuno's - they're a great shoe and are a lot lighter than the Brooks and Saucony

GO for a Nokia 6700. Thats what I replaced my trusty 5 year old 6230 with recently. It's the spiritual successor to the 6230(i) - ie. small, functional and well built.

If you're going to be struggling to pay £250 in one lump sum for a PS3, then why don't you buy a cheaper screen? A Dell 3008WFP is a fantastic piece of kit, but is complete overkill if you're only buying it to hook up to a games console. You'll be able to get a top of the range 1080P 100hz...

I never played Illusions, but have good memories of both Dreams and Fantasies on the PC. They came out in the early 90's, when the PC first started establishing itself as a system that could run more than just RPG's, flight sims and adventure games..... DICE, the developer, then went onto become...

When I got the game I mained Sagat. Eventually got bored with him, as he's very much a one trick pony, especially when playing on-line. I've now moved onto Rose and C-Viper and usually alternate between the two. Rose is actually better than most give her credit for. She has a wide range of...

I had wireless problems too when I first bought my PS3 - I have a Netgear DG834N router. Killzone 2 multiplayer refused to connect with wireless, but was fine with a LAN cable. I fixed it by assigning the PS3 a static IP address and then put that address in the router's DMZ. Also, I...

Definitely is - general concensus is that COD4 is a better game than COD5 overall, and it still has lots of players on both XBL and PSN. Also, if you've never played through COD4 single player, it is worth getting, just for that alone.

Completely agreed. Toyota doesn't actually make any performance/sporty cars anymore so I don't understand why they still bother with the expense of F1. In fact they have arguably the blandest current car range out of all the major manufacturers - I doubt your average diesel Avensis punter...

At Trocadero the left hand machine has a Jap style ball top stick with a square plate and a really light spring action, so it feels similar to a console Mad Catz stick. The right hand machine is the wierd one - it has baseball bat shaped stick with a much heavier action and no discernable...

It's a shame you don't want to goto the arcade as central London has the only two SF4 equipped arcades (Trocadero and Casino) in the whole country. I don't go regularly by any means, but I drop in sometimes whenever I have to go into Chinatown. Everytime I have been has been on a weekend...

Snap - exactly my sentiments. CoD 4 Modern Warfare on veteran was still bloody frustrating at times but remained fun because it had a more compelling plot, more varied level design, and far more memorable characters. It was really satisfying to complete Mile High Club and get to 1000/1000...

There's no easy way through - but try the guide on Nextgenwalkthroughs.com. It's a video guide with commentary that is pretty good. I stopped playing COD5 ages ago, but I remember getting past that stage and getting stuck on the next one - Heart of the Reich. I never had the perseverance to...
