Last month, it came to light that Nvidia would be releasing a more affordable, cut-down variant of its GeForce Titan graphics card. The company may have plans to expand its Titan product line even further with yet another model if a new report from German website 3DCenter is to be believed.

Surprisingly one of the shortest lines at the show was Diablo III for the PlayStation 3. Whether or not that is omniscient of what is to come is an interesting question. Can the console version even compare to the PC game? Blizzard has decided to completely overhaul the game, from the removal of the real-money auction house, to the entire […]
Citing unnamed sources, a report from Swedish overclocking site Sweclockers claims Nvidia is prepping a slimmed down card based on its GK110 Kepler architecture.

Christofer Sundberg, CEO of Avalanche Studios, took to Instagram today to tease an image of what looks to be Just Cause 3.

Yet to be released on PC, a Halo 3 listing has turned up in Steam’s registry files – along with PC ports of Halo 2 and Halo Combat Evolved.
