It's still a work in development, and the graphics are pretty rocky. The game is divided up in different chapters called Dreams that focus on things like writing katakana, hiragana and kanji. My advice? Move to Japan and study like hell. Brian Ashcraft More »

I finally got around to re-ordering the missing CPU for my soon to be built computer. A few months back I ordered a bunch of pieces and parts to build a new PC. I went with NewEgg for everything but the CPU. And wouldn't you know it, WiredZone decided to screw me on my CPU order. I had ordered an AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Dual Core S-AM2 from them because it was listed for so little, but after waiting for a month they emailed me to say that the order had been canceled. When I contacted them they claimed that the chip has been canceled by AMD. More »

Finally, a strategy game that lets you build stuff and then blow it up in a cool way. The upcoming and fully three-dimensional Age Empires III, for Mac and P.C., has a Havok physics engine, which is found in Xbox, GameCube and PS2 games. The whole thing may sound like gibberish, but the Havok renders amazing detail when cannons hit ships and forts. It even allows for "ragdoll physics," which is essentially an anatomical sketch for characters. This means more realistic, ragdoll-like deaths. Cool indeed. More »
