Welcome to my weekly news update. There has been a lot of news this week, more so than the past few weeks. Which is a shocker since GTA came out earlier this week, and I would think the rest of the media would be playing it instead of reporting.

Another Wednesday is upon us and as with every Wednesday there is news in the air… albeit not as much news as I would have liked, it seems that some AAA console title is coming out this week and if you are the all purpose gamer that I would think you are then you should already be in line waiting to pick it up. This game is of course GTAIV and as it is more likely than not to reach PC shores I will admit that I am excited for this game, but I cannot play it due to my lack of consoles and current overseas location. Pity come my way, all of you with the resources to play this game had better play it, play it good!

Welcome back folks, I’ve been out of it for a while now and I apologize. I plan on making it up to you by offering one of my new more condensed and only what matters version of the News. the idea is that instead o f digging around for all the news which mostly sucks I will only pull the news that I saw as important for the genre. This will probably help to drive a focus to this site, as being the only contributing author can be taxing on a newbie like myself.

First off I apologize for putting this up a day late, I know I don’t have many fans yet but it’s better for this site if I can keep some semblance of a schedule. But what can I say, when things get really hectic, some things have to be pushed around.

We went through our whole purpose and reason for this article last week, so instead of boring you with my terrible writing; we’ll just jump into the thick of things.

This week in Hardware Monday, a plethora of hardware news geared right for your gaming underbelly. Intel and Nvidia ruled the news streets this week, Intel’s Nehalem turns heads, while Nvidia’s new looker turns some more. Comcast promises higher speeds, for a price; while many hope to replace it with Cern’s internal protocol that runs a tid-bit (10,000 times) faster. So here it is in all of its Monday glory, the news as I have found it all across the net; neatly packaged and ready for mass consumption. Don’t take my word for it, read it for yourself!

Every day more and more computers are bought by, and sold to consumers who are uninformed as to the system they are purchasing. When a consumer goes into the nearest electronics retail outlet the sales employees that said consumer comes in contact with have no intention to teach the consumer anything about their purchase, their only interests lay in making a sale, whether it be for commission or for sales numbers.

This is bad news for the consumer, especially when they intend to play games or experience high-definition content. The fact is that base model computers just don’t have the processing power to handle content outside the realm of office applications; and when they are sold under the false pretenses of expandability or “future proof” claims, then ultimately it is the consumer that suffers.

Welcome to our first ever Hardware Monday.This week I will discuss the hardware news and reviews from the previous week. there is no exact layout of the article in mind yet so be patient as I find my direction. and as always you are more than welcomed to leave comments or suggestions in the comments below.

This has been an interesting week in hardware. From Nvidia to Intel to AMD and ASUS there have been some interesting announcements and reviews. Nvidia is in the midst of launching their new lineup of cards, the 9000 series, and the overall acceptance from the media has been pretty low. Intel announces a processor fit for mobile phones that is amazingly inexpensive yet powerful enough to change the way we think about mobile computing. AMD releases their new three core Phenom chip. and ASUS is in development of a 3 GPU videocard to the taste of the ATI 3850 cards.

In more hardware related news, we have word of the cheapest of the 9800GTXs being sold in the EU is bade by Palit. I think a reasonable price will be around the $350 - $400 and would much rather buy a BFG tech, Asus, or XFX. I dont know enough about palit yet to have them be a a part of my video card commitment.

What about you guys? Is it big name security for you? Or run and gun budget adapter?
