Here's some reviews from some of our friends around the web.
Quote: "If the stork has recently dropped by your house with a new bundle of joy and you're a proud (and soon to be exhausted) mommy or daddy, one of the basic survival items you will need in your arsenal is a baby monitor. Hands down, this piece of technology is simply something no parent should be without...especially if this is your first child. Now that I have stressed the importance of doing your homework before purchasing a video baby monitor, how about we look at one of the latest entry's on the market, D-Link's DCS-825L HD Wi-Fi Baby Camera."
Cougar MX300 Gaming Case Review @ Madshrimps
Quote: "Cougar was founded in Germany in the year 2007; A group of computer peripheral engineers bundled forces to design PC technology with focus on human use and esthetic perfection. MadShrimps has spotted some of their enclosures and power supplies way back in 2010 at the CeBIT Messe, though with the launch of the midi-tower MX300 Gaming case we had to get a sample to see what the hype was all about. The nice looking and refined exterior design caught our eye. Nevertheless the outside is just a small portion of what a gaming case is all about. Time to unravel the secrets of the Cougar MX300..."
ASUS Z97I-Plus Review @ ocaholic
Quote: "With the Z97I-Plus, ASUS has another interesting mini-ITX motherboard in its portfolio. Lying in front of us, we have a very compact and well equipped motherboard, which for example received an M.2 slot. Other than that there are quite a few software features, which is rather usual with higher-end motherboards these days. With their new Z97 mothboard ASUS have also reworked the color scheme of their classic sereis motherboards and they're now way less flashy. "
EVGA TORQ X10 Gaming Mouse Review@BMR
Quote: "Gamers drive high-end computing: if you don’t think so, consider the renaissance of (expensive) mechanical keyboards in the last couple of years. Of course gaming mice have been common for a while, and EVGA has just thrown their hat into this very competitive ring with the EVGA Torq X10 mouse. Boasting a fully ambidextrous design, 9 programmable buttons, an 8200-DPI laser sensor, solid metal base, and a dramatic style, the Torq X10 mouse also comes in at a very competitive price, especially if you pre-order it. Benchmark Reviews connects this new mouse to our gaming machine to investigate how well it works in this article."
MSI B85M Gaming Motherboard Review @ Hardware Asylum
Quote: "We all know that 9-Series is out and it makes no sense to review an 8-series motherboard, especially one using the "B" 85 chipset. "B"ut when it comes to lazy gamers on a budget "B" stands for "Bank" and how little of it you might spend."
Watch Dogs (PC) Review @ HardwareHeaven.com
Quote: "In the run up to the launch of Microsoft's Xbox One and Sonys PS4 there were a few games which were really getting gamers excited. One of those was Watch_Dogs, a brand new franchise from Ubisoft, but sadly it was delayed (on all platforms, including PC, 360 and PS3) with the publisher stating it was to allow the game time for further development and maximum quality. So 6 months on Watch_Dogs finally hits the market and today we can talk about our experience with the game."
Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming G1 WIFI-BK Motherboard @ Hardware Secrets
Quote: "The Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming G1 WIFI-BK is a high-end socket LGA1150 motherboard based on the new Intel Z97 chipset, supporting the fourth and the forthcoming fifth generation Core i processors. It brings high-end network and audio interfaces, four PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots, ten SATA-600 ports (allowing one SATA Express connection), and eight USB 3.0 ports. Let's take a good look at it."
Wolfenstein: The New Order Performance Review @ HardOCP
Quote: "The moment this game was unlocked on Steam we fired it up on our test bench. We played through the game for a total of five hours, taking notes and finally finished through chapter 3 of the game. There's a point in the game where you have to make a decision. We ended up taking Wyatt's timeline. We played through "Deathshead's Compound," the entire tutorial, "Asylum" and completed "A New World" and decided to stop and put this article together for you."
