  • Battlefield Hardline for PC gets a release date.

    Battlefield Hardline for PC gets a release date.

    Today EA announced it’s next installment in the Battlefield franchise will hit stores March 17th in the US and March 19th in Europe (and probably Australia). The game was originally scheduled for release this year but was delayed shortly after it’s limited beta release, likely to implement feedback and improvements (we hope).

    Hardline is slated for release on both current and last gen consoles along with PC and has a twist on the traditional battlefield gameplay, this time focusing not on war but PayDay style heists with cops and robbers taking the place of nations armies. (more…)

  • DeepCool Steam Castle Cases Now Shipping!

    DeepCool Steam Castle Cases Now Shipping!

    The latest offering from a brand that doesn’t usually have a big presence in Australia has PC enthusiasts on the fence. The aggressive and ‘different’ steampunk design of the Steam Castle from Deepcool makes it one of those ‘love it or hate it’ products without much room in between. Personally we are a big fan as it is essentially a Bitfenix prodigy mATX chassis on the inside but adds a fan controller, programmable LED lighting and a little more ventilation.

    Available in white, black, red and yellow the Steam Castle case is quiet, relatively cool for a small form factor chassis and will definitely stand out when placed next to your average gaming rig.
