NVIDIA pulled the wraps off the first GPUs based on its new Maxwell™ graphics architecture
NVIDIA today introduced the first GPUs based on its new Maxwell™ graphics architecture, which deliver amazing gaming performance in extremely power-efficient designs. The new NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX™ 750 Ti and GTX 750 GPUs showcase the ability of this first-generation Maxwell architecture to do more with less. A GeForce GTX 750 Ti running at 1080p resolution doubles the performance and uses half the power of the GTX 550 Ti, which was built with the Fermi architecture, and is one of the most used NVIDIA GPUs, according to the Steam Hardware Survey. The GTX 750 Ti also approximates the performance of the GeForce GTX 480 — a $499 flagship product also based on the Fermi architecture — while consuming only one-fourth the power, or 60 watts. “We know that to advance performance, we must advance p...

Master Chief reveals that Halo 5 comes out in 2015
Following up reports from earlier this year, Steve Downes, the voice of Master Cheif, has said that Halo 5 won’t launch until 2015. And for this year we can expect Halo 2 Anniversary Edition. GameZone had an interview with Downes in which he said the following: “I think you may be ahead of yourself on Halo 5. I wouldn’t expect anything until 2015. What you can look forward to this year is an anniversary edition of Halo 2.” Downes’ comments were closely related to the claims of a NeoGAF poster who managed to leak Microsoft’s Xbox One-related plans earlier this month.

League of Legends Servers face serious lag
It appears that on Thursday, the League of Legends servers had been facing an immense amount of lag and downtime. It seems a reason for the problem was an all-to-familiar pest causing problems. The same group that was responsible for causing huge chaos at the end of 2013 seems to have come back as the group had taken responsibility for the constant server downtime over the last 12-24 hours. As proof of their claims to be responsible, the group has been restoring and re-attacking the servers at will. As of now, the North American and European servers continue to drop randomly. Developer Riot Games has said that they’ve been working on the issues while the group still solved while the group continues to taunt the team and its fans. Source: Michael Straw
Call of Duty: Ghosts DLC feature Captain Price as playable character
Even though Ghosts and Modern Warfare are set in two separate Call of Duty universes, they’re both developed by Infinity Ward, so there is some common ground which opens the path for a crossover. And the crossover is the Captain Price: Legend Pack, which adds Captain Price, voiced over by actor Billy Murray, as a playable character in Ghosts multiplayer and squads matches. Not just that, but he also comes with his own Personalisation Pack. For $3.99 you get Price, a weapon camo, a player background, a player patch and reticule and not to mention the moustache too. The Legend Pack will come out next Tuesday on Xbox consoles. And it’s worth pointing out that Ghosts micro-items do not transfer between systems. So you can’t buy a personalisation pack on the 360 and carry it o...
New Mode Carrier Assault added to Battlefield 4’s Naval Strike DLC
Not sure how many of you’ll will have an idea as to what Battlefield 2142 is. It was the 2006 Battlefield spin-off set in the future. One of the modes on that game called Titan was quite a hit with players. And now, developer DICE is reimagining it for release as DLC for Battlefield 4. Naval Strike, the Battlefield 4 expansion will include a new mode called Carrier Assault, which in the words of DICE is described as a “re-imagining of the classic Battlefield 2142 Titan Mode”. No much is known about this project at the moment, but we can look back at Titan for some clues as to what this upcoming DLC has in store for us. In Titan, players formed teams and their aim was to work together to destroy opposing team’s Titan while defending their own. Titans were airborne wa...
Dying Light – Humanity Trailer
“Kill or be killed,” they say. But is that what you would do? Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Techland are asking that very question in the latest trailer for Dying Light.

When neighbours turn on neighbours, and the fight to stay alive becomes the only thing keeping you alive, what will become of humanity? We’ve gotten used to killing zombies in video games over the years, but who were these zombies before they became infected? Is there still a human inside of them? In the ‘Humanity’ trailer, Techland aims to address the reality behind the zombie fiction, and...
