OK people, let’s get down to brass tacks. We here at DT like gaming. If you are reading this article then you most likely enjoy gaming as well (or free stuff, which is fair). We have a bunch of games to give away, and so we had an idea. It was revolutionary. The first of its kind! We’ll give the games away to people and call it a “giveaway!” That’s breakthrough thinking right there.
Assuming your mind is not yet blown, then here is what we were thinking: Head on over to the DT Gaming section, then post your favorite gaming story you’ve seen recently in the comments below. We just want to know what you like, and what you want to see more of from the gaming news.
So that’s it — just comment below and let us know your favorite gaming stories that you read on DT gaming, and you will be entered to win a copy of Ubisoft’s Driver: San Francisco for the PS3, one of the best and most underrated games of 2011. Check out our full review.
The contest will run from now until Friday, April 13 at noon PST. We will then contact the winner, and once they have confirmed they are a genuine human being, we will let everyone know the contest is kaput… and there’s more.
We have a handful of games to give away, and each week for the rest of the month we will have a different game to offer. It may be for the 360, it may be for the PS3. We’ll keep it spicy, so check back each week for a new giveaway!
Update: Apologies on any confusion, but a winner has been selected and notified.
We will be running more contests in the future, so keep an eye out for the next giveaway, coming soon!
Update: Hey all. Just to be clear, we are looking for your favorite gaming stories that you read on DT’s gaming page, but all comments will be entered for a chance to win.
Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.
Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
Gaming laptops and I have a complicated relationship. One of my first gaming rigs was an Acer Predator that was already outdated when I bought it. I was a broke college kid, and that was the best I could afford. So trying out high-end gaming laptops is always fun. But ASUS' ROG Zephyrus G14 is a lot more than a laptop that can run AAA games. It is portable, so you're not lugging around a 2.5kg machine everywhere you go. It is built well, none of that plastic chassis, and can even function as a normal laptop outside of just gaming.
Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
