First a big thank you to Activision for providing Call of Duty 2 for this Review.

I must say after playing Call of Duty 2 I’m quite surprised at how well the game is put together. For me to say that about this game is amazing considering the first call of duty lasted about 1 hour before taking it off my machine and never playing it again. I figured Call of Duty 2 was going to be much like the first game and there for at first I wasn’t to interested in playing it. However do to the fact Activision donated the game I figured I at least had to look at it and I’m glad I did..

First a big thank you to SageTV for providing SageTV 4.0 for this Review.

I first found about SageTV when I was looking on the Hauppage site for the PVR 350 I would later Review. At the time I figured I would see if I could get SageTV for Review and see how well it worked with the Hauppage PVR 350 card. As this Review shows they go hand and hand.

First a big thank you to Belkin for providing the Belkin F1DJ102P KVM Switch for this Review.

First a big thank you to Microsoft Game Studios for providing Age of Empires 3 for this Review.

Age of empires 3 is the latest in the age of empire series. The first two games were a huge success and now the question is, does age of empires 3 live up to what come before it?

Recently I had to pickup a new video card for my main computer since I was going to be taking the video card that was in it out and putting that into a second machine I will be building shortly. The previous card I had in this machine was a ATI 9800 pro that I have had for a few years.

First a big thank you to Slappa for providing the Slappa 600 Pro for this Review.

The Slappa 600 pro is for all you people who have loads of cd’s / dvd’s that need a home in a nice compact package. As you can see in the picture above the Slappa 600 pro is a really good looking cd/dvd case. The problem with its super fine looks though is the thing is a dust magnet. The outside of the case is made from what looks like a suede / leather and it don’t take either long to collect any dust that may be in the air

First a big thank you to Belkin for providing The N52 SpeedPad for this Review.

For those of you who don’t know the N52 as I will refer to it as, its a USB controller that you plug into your computer and can act as a game controller. With no driver software installed the N52 will act like your keyboard does and it will emulate certain keyboard keys. When you install the driver and the software that comes with the N52 you will then be able to use the full potential of this device.

First a big thank you to www.fraps.com for providing Fraps 2.6.4 for this Review.

With this software you can hit a hot key and record a video of a game your in or you can capture a screen shots of the game your in. It Also has the ability to tell you how many frames a second your getting in game.

Over the years I have used these three utilities from time to time and have found them quite use full. All three of these utilities are free and they are not crippled or have any type of nags in them. The three utilities I will cover here are all for the Internet. If you don’t have a Internet connection then none of these programs will be of much use. However if you goto the Analogx web site you will find all sorts of utilities that range from audio utilities to system and network utilities as well.

First a big thank you to Valve for providing Day of Defeat Source for this Review.

For those that haven’t played the game before this is a World War 2 first person shooter game. One side are the Americans and the other side are the Germans, witch you can pick to be either side. Your job is to go and capture the flags or defend the flags for your side. You capture more and more flags on the map as you progress through the map till you hold them all. If your team holds the flags for a certain amount of time your team wins the round.
