Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Interface Sound Card

Pros: K got this card origionaly thinking it wasnt that great but after getting a system to handle real audio it blows my old 5.1 card away

Cons: none as of yet

Overall Review: Dont be quick to judge a highpriced sound card untill you get the high priced system.

Most Critical Review

Dead after a week

EVGA 132-CK-NF79-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 790i Ultra SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Was a great board while it worked getting the rma taken care of as im writing this. the board itself is a good layout although the release tabs for the graphics cards could be easier to get to. nothing really bad about it untill the bios went out on me.

Cons: done within a week.

Overall Review: Good board just be cautious with it give it some time before you decide to crank the power on it and give it time to ensure you dont cause failures to other parts by pushing it too far.

Modern Warfail 2.1

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 PC Game
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 PC Game

Pros: The only reason it gets 1 eggs is because the campaign is somewhat decent (that and I cant give negative eggs)... although it feels like the same as mw2 (suprise it is). The game looks good but doesnt really make up for the lack of creativity over at IW.

Cons: The multiplayer is garbage. You get paired with people regardless of their location or latency. Most of the time you get paired with a host thats in a different country and you can barely play because you wind up lagging out or you cant hit anything. Cheating runs rampant because there are no admin to keep them out. The guns and the attachments dont really outweigh the gameplay flaws. "sprinting" looks more like a brisk walk I could go on for days but I think you get the picture...

Overall Review: IW and all their developers decided to put up a middle finger salute to the gaming community when they released this game. Its no more than a copy of their MW2 game and has the exact same flaws. This is my final straw for their franchise. I was stupid enough to buy this game but never again.

Works when it wants to.

Pros: Good connection speeds and less interference from our wireless home phone.

Cons: Randomly wont let anyone connect to it even though it shows up. At first generated massive ping spike while i was playing games and wound up fixing it but now i have to fix it every time i have to shut it off and back on which is a huge pain in the ***.

Overall Review: I had a belkin that was more reliable and consistent than this thing... what gives cisco?

Randomly Stops working

Pros: Its great when it works.

Cons: It randomly tells me that it cant connect to the network and disconnects me when playing games. I have to unplug it, plug it in, and log back into whatever im doing.

Overall Review: Find something else to use if youre buying this for gaming.

Great little wireless.

Pros: Great for me because i switch it around the house. Dont know how people didnt get to work... theres a cd that comes with it that has text on it that says "run this cd first". common sense isnt too common.

Cons: gets warm quick but still stays functional
