Memory modules are quite often complicated, like the memory slots and integrated circuits they are placed into. Incontestably, most people underestimate the memory field and  boil it down to simple tCAS-tRCD-tRP-tRAS timings, and plain speed and capability in terms of capacity. Kingston Technology introduces the HyperX memory DIMM’s, a series of modules that benefit from not only timings and capacity, but also lower power consumption and efficient heat regulation due to an aluminum spreader. While PC’s are making a steady advance to the DDR3 specification, Kingston Technology is directly giving consumers a reason to switch as soon as possible to enjoy terrific speeds with the Kingston HyperX DDR3-1866 6 GB Triple-Channel Kit, and moreover quality that is worth the full price.

Our team from UK and U.S. just met this interesting fellow. We laughed, had a great time, and previewed some games together in addition to some events related to Doctor Who and Torchwood. Unfortunately, he had to depart our company and leave for his planet afterwards. Unfortunately, we did not get a chance to play Aliens vs Predator there.

The Sims has always maintained the same basic strategy: give the player the chance to live and, in most cases, destroy their own Sims life to whatever extremes chosen so the game is enjoyable and fun. That strategy has not changed and although, through each iteration of the title new features have been added, the same original Sims game is there. Fans will definitely not be disappointed by the new offerings as they do not stray far from The Sims 2 but will be disappointed by the high similarity to The Sims 2. There is also exclusive content to The Sims 3 that comes as more clothes, different cities, all at an additional cost rather than being added to the game to begin with. Unfortunately, the hashing of the same formula, with just a few upgrades and the synonymous game engine as The Sims 2 leaves The Sims 3 a major disappointment in terms of raising the bar as the third offering in the series.

Polish developer Techland’s Western shooter Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood places players into 1864 and into the entire gun-slinging outlaw hunting that it has to offer. As a prequel to 2007′s Call of Juarez, Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood is a decent first-person shooter that focuses on action centralized shoot-outs and duels that tries to make you feel as if you live for the Wild West. The cut-scenes are enjoyable with extenuated voice acting, and the visuals are decent. Unfortunately, horseback riding, gun-slinging, and other gameplay shooting aspects are far too basic with the horrible A.I. to be enjoyable. Despite all of this, Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood manages to give players a decent Western-shooting experience that is worth a try.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is remarkable. Remarkably unentertaining and hideous, that is. It manages to shatter that border that distinguishes a bad game from a good one, and puts itself into its own dreary category of the Worst “Game” of 2009 by far and for a long while. The story is incoherent, the dialogue is as dull as the previous title, and the gameplay makes Atari Console games seem next-generation.

Talk about intense. E3 was packed this year with resellers, and less media —but it got bigger, better, and more selective. We were there to get every exciting moment: from Project Milo to Heavy Rain, and exclusive interviews. As always, it was certainly a great time, and now that time is over. It is time to look forward, ahead to newer and better releases, and to ennoble titles in this year’s WhatIfGaming’s Best Of E3 Awards 2009.

Criteria: The Best of E3 Awards, a subcategory for the WhatIfGaming Prizes, are given solely to those video games that demonstrate a pure excellence in the field for which they are not only nominated but also chosen. These awards only apply to playable games at E3 given a few exceptional categories.

Nomination & Selection Process: Compared with other site awards, the WhatIfGaming Prize nomination and selection process is long and extremely rigorous. This is the sole reason why WhatIfGaming Prizes have grown in importance over the years to become the most important prizes in their field. Forms, which amount to a personal and exclusive invitation, are sent to about over 1,000 selected individuals to invite them to submit nominations months in advance from the latest builds per video game. Self-nominations are disqualified. For WhatIfGaming Prizes, inquiries are sent to such people as developers, industry experts, analysts, among others. After our deadline passes, the nominations are chosen by permanent committee of 5 selected individuals from staff and only the final stage of nominees remain per category. From all of these, a winner is chosen.

The names of the nominees are not publicly announced, and neither are they told that they have been considered for the WhatIfGaming Prize. Some are announced publicly by practice. Nomination records are revealed approximately 2 years after each respective award year.
