I reckon you should have added links to each of the reviews for the items.

Mankz · 29th Dec 2006, 11:15

yep, good workl people.

However, im not so sure about the cooling one..???

I mean have we even had a revew of the Zalman CPS9700, or the Sunbeam Tuniq Tower ect.???

otherwise its a good bit of work.

r4tch3t · 29th Dec 2006, 11:19

I do not think quad core should win best innovation award as it is the next logical step, and Intel is just going for the GHz race again, but this time with number of cores.
Loved the podcast and can't wait till the next one.
Overall you have it spot on

Mankz · 29th Dec 2006, 11:26

I thought that the point was Intel had learned thier lesson from the GHz wars of A64 / Netburst ect.

I think most people would like a fast CPU with a Low TDP than some gargantuanly got CPU reminisant of a Pentium D EE 840 or 670 ect.

r4tch3t · 29th Dec 2006, 11:32

Well we thought they did, but it seems as thought they are going again, I mean 80 cores? Really? How many cores does a GPU have, and how much can you do with it (I know dedicated Proccessor) But I would prefer a better architecture (Like the core architecture) Rather than millions of 'em.

I agree with Oblivion, that game is awsome, but still not as good as Morrowind.

Glider · 29th Dec 2006, 11:39

In the category of RPG, I just descovered Lost Wishes...

Anyone with telnet can play it, just connect to "lost.wishes.net 5555" and you're going

Text Based RPG rulez them all

I agree on the Quad core not being the best innovation... Quad just seems so pointless...

And I'm missing an OSS part too

DeX · 29th Dec 2006, 11:54

You forgot to give a little gold badge to the E6600

Isn't that called a MUD?

I think console should have been split into handheld and console awards as loco roco isn't in the same leage as gears of war.

rupbert · 29th Dec 2006, 12:55

No offense but giving Loco Roco the GOTY award is quite simply astonishing.

g3n3tiX · 29th Dec 2006, 13:06

Nice review, brought back memories of the year, of all the hardware I didn't buy, because I lack môney. Well, it was interesting !!

I fid Loco Roco to be twisting my nerves : the music is just too present.

How many times can you put "Kudos" in one article ? :>

MiNiMaL_FuSS · 29th Dec 2006, 13:41

Not sure I agree on the cooling solution at all. I thought the sonic tower was generally considered the best option out there right now, and to think the Artic-Cooling Freezers didn't even get a mention!!

Other than that, spot on.
Nicely done.

Veles · 29th Dec 2006, 14:02

Yeah I'd say the core architecture is more or an innovation than sticking two core 2 duo processors together but the quad core processor is still pretty awesome, wanting to get myself one of those at some point.

CM Stacker for best case of the year? Ewww

kempez · 29th Dec 2006, 15:04

Ye not sure on the Quad Core, the Gigabyte, the CM Stacker or Loco Roco tbh

Deffo with C2D tho - awesome platform props to intel.

Suprised 8800 didn't get a mention as that's deffo been a revelation this year (albeit at the end)

kenco_uk · 29th Dec 2006, 15:33

I agree, the Arctic Cooling solutions not even getting a peep round the door seems unbelievable. They seem to be fairly popular.. as well as the Scythe Ninja - hsf of choice for Core2Duo. Just seems a bit strange.

1e8o · 29th Dec 2006, 16:28

Company of heroes is really a great game.
I played it for several hours on my LANparty...really great
