Starcraft II is serious business. As the sequel to arguably the greatest strategy game of all time, it has a way of bringing out an intensely competitive spirit in most who’ve had a chance to play it, spurring even mild-mannered players into becoming mineral-harvesting machines. But maybe you’re not one of those people. Maybe it’s been awhile since you’ve played, you don’t really have a favorite race to call your own, or you just plain think you’ll be in over your head when the game is finally released. During a recent trip to Blizzard, we were pleased to find out that none of those things are cause for concern. Blizzard’s clearly working on a game that should appeal to all levels of Starcraft fandom.

Imagine what it would be like to become a Transformer. Walking, jumping, and climbing in your humanoid form would be pretty familiar, and you could easily get the hang of whipping out your guns to blast enemies. Driving yourself around might be a bit awkward at first, and flying would be significantly trickier, but the real problems would come when you tried to transform. Shifting your physical form would be disorienting, and it would take a while before you mastered it. That’s actually a pretty accurate breakdown of what it’s like to play Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. In the early going, the controls are uncomfortable but functional. As you play through either of the solid campaigns, you’ll get better and better until you reach a point where you can fluidly move between different forms and dispatch your enemies with style. That is, you would, but an array of technical flaws and performance issues will probably keep you from getting that far. Whether you suffer an erratic frame rate, washed-out environments, or some other breed of problem depends on your particular computer, but it’s very unlikely you’ll be able to play unhindered. It’s a real shame that Revenge of the Fallen, which is a fun game to play on other systems, fares so poorly in its PC incarnation.

Intel has been unchallenged on the desktop and laptop front since launching the Core architecture in 2006. The Core architecture trounced AMD at the high-end, forcing the Phenom manufacturer to fight back with aggressive value pricing. For the better part of two years, AMD has struggled to compete with Intel’s mainstream processors, leaving the performance and extreme categories completely unchallenged for Intel. Now with the release of Intel’s newest Core i7 CPU and the Express X58 chipset, the gap widens ever further.

We get some new intel on the PC version of this upcoming World War II shooter.

Many modern first-person shooters combine the adrenaline rush of dashing around 3D environments while shooting anything that isn’t you with gritty, realistic settings that heighten the tension. Last year’s outstanding Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, developed by Infinity Ward, was a great example of excellent technology meeting a strong game setting and terrific, action-packed gameplay. And now the Call of Duty series will make its return to the theater of war known as World War II with Call of Duty: World at War, in development at Treyarch. Though the game was originally announced for consoles, it will also make its way to the PC. We have new details from Treyarch’s project lead Cesar Statsny.
