• Future Perfect? (WinFS Editorial)   [Editorial, TrustedReviews]
  It’s common knowledge that processor manufacturers such as AMD, IBM and Intel are moving away from the traditional quest for ever-faster clock speeds, not least because the technology to make air cooled processors that run at 5GHz appears to be a touch problematical. Intel’s Right Turn has led it away from a repetitive cycle of higher clock speed, smaller fabrication process, more memory cache, more transistors and repeat as necessary towards a world of dual core processors that borrows a fair amount of technology and design from the mobile Pentium M chip.

• Virtua Tennis: World Tour   [Review, TrustedReviews]
  There are two very good reasons why I’ve been excited at the prospect of playing Virtua Tennis: World Tour on my PSP. First up is that along with Crazy Taxi and Soul Caliber, Virtua Tennis was one of my all time favourite Dreamcast games. And as anyone who owned a Dreamcast will tell you, it was a console awash with Grade A titles, so making the top three is no mean feat.

• First Look: Google Grabs Space on Your Desktop   [Preview, PCWorld]
  Version 2 of the Google Desktop tool (formerly named Google Desktop Search) adds so many new features that finding local files almost seems like an afterthought. Topping the list of enhancements in this free program (still in beta) is the Sidebar, a new way to view content from both the Web and your PC. All it asks for in return is a big chunk of screen real estate. The Sidebar sits on the left or right side of your screen, displaying your e-mail, recently viewed Web pages and files, local weather, news headlines, and RSS feeds, among other information. If you don't have the desktop area to spare, you can place the search box in your taskbar or float it on the desktop as you could with the first release of the program. (You can toggle between the Sidebar and Taskbar views with two clicks.) The Sidebar occupies a significant amount of space, but it didn't take me long to get used to having all sorts of information just a click or two away.

• Windows Vista Looks Slicker, Safer   [Article, PCWorld]
  The first beta of Microsoft's Windows Vista clearly shows where the operating system is headed. Rather than a dramatic departure from Windows XP, Vista seems to refine the OS with sharper graphics and improved search and security. The new interface and other changes are definitely for the better, but some aspects of Vista--including its Virtual Folders--are a bit puzzling.

• Chrome Specforce - PC FPS   [Review, TrustedReviews]
  Oh dear. As you could probably work out from the score above, Chrome Specforce is not a brilliant game. This in itself is not a tragedy. The PC is hardly starved of brilliant FPS games, and one more on the reject pile won’t hurt. But in this case it actually makes me feel slightly sad. Maybe it’s because Techland is a small Eastern European developer, or because there are signs of real achievement in this game, but I can’t help thinking that Chrome Specforce could have been a decent game, if only a few points had been kept in mind.

• CoDecs   [Guide, Hexus]
  CoDecs compress and decompress data. The word CoDec is a shortening of the term Compressor/Decompressor. Compressing a data stream or a file reduces its data rate. This cuts costs all the way down the line. It reduces the bandwidth required for transmission or broadcasting and the amount of space required for storage. Before the data can be used, though, it has to be decompressed. Both phases of a CoDec's work can be carried out in hardware, in software or a combination of both.

• First Look: Macromedia's Revamped Web Suite   [Preview, PCWorld]
  Macromedia has overhauled its Studio 8 Web suite, but many of the changes are not to its individual apps. Overall, the $999 suite features tighter integration and improved links to databases and other Web resources; but if you work primarily in only one of the suite's big-name apps (Dreamweaver, Flash, or Fireworks), you may find few reasons to pay $399 to upgrade from Studio MX 2004. Studio 8's rejiggered lineup adds Contribute 3 for updating site content and FlashPaper 2 for converting files to Flash or PDF. (The company released both programs individually earlier this year.) Absent from the suite is the Freehand drawing program, which was part of the two previous Studio releases. All three of the updated suite members--Fireworks 8, Flash 8 Professional, and Dreamweaver 8--work together more closely than ever. In fact, in the beta version I reviewed, I found that their look and features overlap so much that it's easy to forget which program you're working in at any given point.

• Jon Peddie on Windows Vista   [Editorial, Hexus]
  By now anyone within 10 feet of a computer, TV, or mobile phone has heard that Microsoft’s visionary Chairman Bill Gates told the his minions attending the Microsoft Global Sales Briefing, last Friday (an internal sales event) in Atlanta Georgia in the US that from that day henceforth the long used and somewhat abused name, “Longhorn,” would be expunged from the vocabulary of all Microsofties and most likely anyone wanting to have any association with mighty Microsoft – that would include, well, the universe, right? I’m OK with that, Vista is a cooler name than Longhorn, and in fact, I personally didn’t like the Longhorn name all that much to begin with, reminded me of big mean tempered cows I had met when I lived in Texas a few million years ago.

• Pariah - X-Box   [Review, Hexus]
  We review Pariah for the X-Box, an FPS to take on Halo2? All in all, I’d say that it’s a toss up between Halo2 and this and it’s too close to call. I think that in general terms, Halo 2 just sneaks it in the single player stakes. Don’t get me wrong, Pariah is an extremely polished and playable game, it just has a few niggles that let it down… On the multiplayer side though, I have to go for Pariah, even if it is lacking a CTF mode. The game itself, the official maps and the sheer fun of DM or Siege are just too good to ignore… and then there’s the unlimited scope of the M.A.P. editor too, giving Pariah longevity way after you’ve finished the single player mode.

• Pro Rugby Manager 2   [Review, Hexus]
  You can sort out sponsorship deals for the club, give post match interviews and try and poach promising players from other clubs. If you’re particularly nasty, you could give a whining player the boot, putting them up for transfer... In fact, short of getting your captain to bunk off with a princess, there’s not much here you can’t do.

• Linux Gaming   [Article, Hexus]
  Well, Linux certainly isn't most peoples' thought for a games-based PC. Especially one being taken to a big tournament LAN party. However, by design or trickery, none of the tournament games at the event were out-of-bounds to my Linux machine, and rousing games of Call of Duty, Quake 2 and Unreal Tournament 2004 were shared by the HEXUS.net collective and any other gamers who felt like joining in.

• Pariah - Preview   [Preview, Hexus]
  In a nutshell, you play the part of Jack Mason (a great action shooter hero name if ever there was one!), a burnt out doctor who really has hit the lowest point in his less than illustrious career. You’re reduced to baby sitting cryogenically frozen medical patients and are on a routine trip when your ship is blasted from the sky over a prison planet.
