My Friends Nintendo DS Review
Link: http://www.testfreaks.com/blog/review/my-friends-nintendo-ds-review/
Review Blurb: “My Friends is a game for kids who truly have no friends. It is designed for the most anti-social of children who cannot muster the energy to go outside, make real friends, and engage in basic outdoor play. It’s true that games designed for children aren’t all flash and bang and bullets and guns and graphics and stories like games for adults. Still, that’s no excuse for a game simulating playground activities like Tag. That just seems depressing.”

Zaward Gyre Flow Heatsink Review
Link: http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=2460
Review Blurb: “The fins are pressed over three 8mm diameter copper heatpipes, but how exactly do the fins disperse heat conducted by the heatpipes? Flipping the Gyre over reveals an exposed heatpipe base similar to a variety of Xigmatek heatsinks and two large cut-outs on either side of the aluminum fins. A large 40mm hole transects through the center of its aluminum fins and only adds to the confusion.”

Link: http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/xfx5850/
Review Blurb: “The XFX HD 5850 is the second line of cards to come out of the AMD 5-series cards. The die still has the same transistor count as the 5870 Cypress core, with a few processing units disabled to get 1440 stream processors while the ROPs were untouched at 32.”

Thermalright T-Rad2 VGA cooler
Link: http://lanoc.org/review/hardware/cooling/2069-thermalright-t-rad-vga-cooler
Review Blurb: “With video card technology growing consistently for some time now today’s video cards have grown into large power hungry monsters, some requiring 300w of power. With that amount of power being used they are bound to create a lot of heat in the whole possess. Reference designs from both ATI and Nvidia have heatsinks with fans that are sometimes very loud while not cooling to the extreme that some enthusiasts expect. That’s where Thermalright jumps in with their T-Rad?, designed to cool better than the stock design while (when using the right fans) keeping the noise to a minimum.”

Review Blurb: “I’ve had force feedback devices before, such as a joystick that was pretty much useless for anything but flight sims. But what NOVINT have brought to the table here is by no means an evolution of the force feedback joystick. It’s much different!”

Gigabyte GTX 260 Core 216 Super Overclock Video Card Review
Link: http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1113/1/
Review Blurb: “Gigabyte is no stranger to the world of high performance computer parts. Early this year I reviewed the first motherboard in their latest line of “Ultra Durable” lineup, the GA-EP45-UD3P. With an additional 2 ounces of copper in the PCB, we found the board to be one of the best solutions at any price for Intel Core Processors.”
