It's a real nuisance when you're trying to complete objectives, but the good news is that you can kill a leviathan despite its seeming invulnerability.There are a few different methods, but provided you've...
Almost every graphics card vendor makes an all bells and whistles version of a particular GPU. It might be one that's heavily overclocked or one that follows a particular theme, but nearly all of them have a decent enough cooler to keep things well under control.

We've gotten our first look at Nicolas Cage as John Madden in the upcoming movie Madden, and I'm stoked. Not for the story or subject: I don't care much about football, I honestly haven't played much of the Madden games, and I mostly only know John Madden himself from the TV commercials he did for athlete's foot sprays and hardware stores.But Nicolas Cage playing him? Oh, I'm in. Day one,...
