    When it comes to gaming, your immersion into the game by way of sound is one of the most important aspects. Thermaltake realized this when launching it's eSPORTS lineup of gaming gear and has responded with the Tt eSports Shock gaming headset. On paper this headset seems to include all the standard features you might find in a typical gaming headset. Some features include: noise canceling mic, adjustable sizes, foldable design, and 40mm drivers to name a few.



    MSRP for the headset is $79.99 USD which puts it in the upper mid-range category. It also comes in two different colors, black and white. Both headsets use the exact same materials so other than the color, they are identical. Now, lets move on and see what this headset really has to offer.




    Features

    The Thermaltake Shock headset on paper looks like a pretty well equipped headset. Below are a list of features and specifications provided by Thermaltake.

    Mass Effect 3 is the third game in the hugely popular Mass Effect Trilogy by Bioware.

    Mass Effect 3 is the ending of the story 5 years in the making. Many of Mass Effect's fans are heavily invested in the series and it's characters...Will Mass Effect 3 live up to your expectations?

    You'll just have to read on to find out...

    *Note* This review is only of the Single Player.

    First up is Story. *I'm going to try to make this review as Spoiler Free as possible, but some may slip. You've been warned!*



    The story of Mass Effect is what all true fans play the series for. Mass Effect has created such a huge, diverse and believable universe...Fans have come to love and genuinely care about the characters presented in the game. Mass Effect 3 is the ending of your journey and everything including the characters have been focused on to really give you an emotional experience.


    If you've been reading any of the articles about Mass Effect 3 leading up to release I'm sure you've heard that Mass Effect 3 is 'The perfect place to jump in!'. I'm totally against this, Mass Effect 1 is the perfect place to jump in, without the build up and character development of the past 2 games, the story and characters literally mean nothing to you in Mass Effect 3...

    Occasionally I come across a console gamer looking to make the change to PC gaming. They're interested primarily in better graphics and mods. What holds them back are a mix of legitimate concerns, and a vast amount of false information invented by anti-PC gamers. I felt that I should clear up the benefits and disadvantages to PC gaming. I've been gaming on consoles since 1996, and have extensive experience with all consoles since NES and Sega Genesis. I built my first gaming PC in 2008, and since then I've developed many modifications for games as well as designed quite a few levels. So this will be a purely informative and non-biased post.

    Below are some of the common questions asked by console ...

    GND Presents: Skyrim Modding Guide!

    Okay. With this guide we'll be showing you what mods to get in order to make Skyrim a much more beautiful and enjoyable experience! We'll go over mods that will make Skyrim look better than real life....mods that will enhance the gameplay...and mods that aren't really needed, but just fun or cool to have. Remember that the Creation Kit has only just come out so there is still much to come..We will try to keep this guide updated, we'll do a recap every month hopefully.

    We'll start off with Graphical Mods. I'll go over all sorts of graphical mods on this page, all the way from full on Texture mods to Lighting Overhaul mods!

    *Click the images to view full size!

    1. Skyrim 2k Texture Mod by Nebula1

    This mod is a huge mod which is in the process of redoing every texture in Skyrim and making it 4-8x better than it's stock counter-part! This mod will make the average look extraordinary! Right now it covers every landscape texture, Windhelm, Whiterun, and Solitude. It's still WIP so more and more is being added in each update! Beware this is for top end PCs!





    2. RCRN HDR- Realistic Colors and Real Nights by aLaa

    This mod is alot more powerful than it seems, it will transform Skyrim into a seriously beautiful game. It totally redoes the lighting and coloring of the game, making for much brighter days, beautiful sunsets and sun rises, dark nights and best of all..Dark Dungeons! This mod even makes most of the armors look much nicer due to the special plugins it has. This mod is a serious must have because it does all this without any FPS drop.








    3. High Res Face Maps for Men by Geonox

    This mod may not seem like much but it takes the facial detail in Skyrim to the next level! With this mod, all male characters get extremely detailed face maps...You will be able to see their pores...Wrinkles are more defined and you can even see the facial stubble. It also evens out the Normal Map so you're not left with a blocky nose. This is one mod you'll just have to try for your self, it's another must have for me!

    The website allgamesbeta.com posted some leaked screenshots of what it claims to be Doom 4. If the images are true, this is reason to believe that that the rumors of Doom 4 being cancelled are untrue. There are about a dozen of these screenshots linked below so feel free to judge for yourself.
