Amidst my super busy weekend I took Guild Wars 2 for a spin in surround mode. Gave it a good initial testing for support compatibility and performance.
The game is working, but with severe blemishes that hinder gameplay experience. I will cover most of these in the video and hope that by the time Guild Wars 2 hits full release that these problems have been rectified and that we get a gold certified game.
Having multiple monitors can make your computing life easier and more fun. WSGF knows all about this, it's what we specialize in...
However the Windows operating system sadly passes up many opportunities to capitalize on features and benefits that can be provided in a multi-monitor configuration.
With luck 3rd party developers help fill the gap between what is and what could be, today we look at developer Actual Tools product called Actual Multiple Monitors.
A software suite that promises to make your multi-monitor experience better and more enjoyable. How does it fare? Watch the full review and find out!
With a ton of new audio hardware in my hands this is the first of many reviews to come. The Siberia V2 is a mainstream entry level gaming headset that is designed to work on multiple platforms (Xbox360, PS3, PC and Mac).
I'd say it performs pretty admirably for the price if you use it for it's intended purpose, but it has some shortcomings as well. Check out the video review for full details.

DiRT 3 is yet another rally game in the cycle signed with Colin McRae's name. ... Bla bla bla.... This isn't yet another review. I'm pretty sure that most of you had some experience with this game or it's predecessors. So I don't see any point in writing about how many tracks/cars/play modes etc. are available in the game. Instead I will focus on something that is rarely mentioned in the reviews I've seen thus far. I'm talking about built-in Splitscreen mode! DiRT 3 is the first game from Codemasters which include this mode and today I am going to check how it performs combined with Eyefinity technology.
I. First look at Splitscreen mode.
II. Controller configuration.
III. Eyefinity setups.
IV. Results and summary.
Another product review coming your way, did an unboxing for this one.
My initial impressions are good. Nice weight and very comfortable. For the full evaluation stay tuned here to WSGF where I will have it posted shortly.
If I'm a fanboy of anything, it's Sega. Funnily enough, I never owned a Sega Genesis, and was never a Sonic fan back in the 16-bit heyday. I was all Nintendo and all Mario, even though I only owned a PC. But, from a content standpoint, Nintendo had my heart (in that console realm).
Fast forward a number of years, and I waited in line on 9.9.99 for a Dreamcast. In college I had dabbled in consoles, and bought a Nintendo64 while I worked at Babbage's (bonus point to anyone who shopped at one of those), but I was overall a PC guy. For some reason I saw that the Dreamcast had soul, and I loved it. In fact, I still own one (VGA adapter and all). Some of my favorite gaming experiences are on the Dreamcast. NFL2K was a monster of a game, and Jet Set Radio will be a forever favorite. I even found all the soundtracks to JSR from a local "anime" shop, back when such things were hard to find.
Recent Sega re-releases and updates have had my heart all a-twtitter. The announcement of Jet Set Radio was like welcoming home and old friend (and here's to hoping for Eyefinity/Surround support), and the recent Sonic Episodes are like a time warp back to my childhood.
I am working on a full review for a program called Actual Multiple Monitors from a company called Actual Tools.
The way I discovered the program is via this feature I am about to show you, it seemed so unique and so useful that I wanted to do a blog post on it to show off the feature so that you may be informed about it should you have a use for it.
Want to learn more about the ultimate enthusiast gaming headset?
Does an audiophile grade headphone mated with a recording grade microphone paired into a single device sound like something you would enjoy?
Well the MMX 300 from Beyerdynamic is exactly that device and you should check out the review if you would like to know more.

Today a package rocked up from the United States from our fearless leader.
This video blog is just a quick thanks to Ibrin, I'm glad that we can all work together to achieve things for the site. I look forward to testing this gear and improving on the Red vs Green vs Blue article.
Prior to CES 2012, I wasn't familiar with the Roccat brand. Now that they are moving into the NA market, we are getting more news about their products and plans. Engadget recently reported that Roccat was offering a mobile app called Power-Grid that would turn iOS and Android users monitor their PC stats, and turn their mobile devices into touch screen interfaces for PC gamers.
The idea is similar to the Switchblade concept device from Razer, which itself has morphed into the Razer Blade laptop and the SW:TOR keyboard. Roccat is taking this idea of customizable user interfaces for gaming, and leveraging the touchscreen you probably already own. In addition to the software component, Roccat is also offering hardware accessories. The Phobo keyboard offers a dock for your iPhone on the right hand side, and largely mimics the functionality of the Razer SW:TOR keyboard. If you already have a keyboard you love, Roccat is offering a charging dock to help integrate the iPhone into your gaming rig.
