PC Game Revenue has Surpassed Console Games' Globally

  PC game revenues have passed console games, but the release of the PS4 and Xbox One should help keep a comparable revenue stream.   [i]"Among core gamers there is a heavy overlap with most console gamers also playing on a PC. The big difference is that consoles are now the luxury item and PCs are the necessity. Just a few years ago the reverse was true.  This means PCs have the broader audience."[/i] [i] [/i] [url=http://www.pcr-online.biz/news/read/pc-games-have-surpassed-console-games-globally/033849][i]Full article[/i][/url] [img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/webroot-en/attachment/10222iBDBC1F311F81A7DD.png[/img]

Gender balance among gamers almost at parity

New research from ESA finds that 48% of gamers are women, which is a pretty big jump.  Full article [url=http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2014-04-24-women-increasing-representation-among-us-gamers-esa]here[/url].  This certainly matches my anecdotal experience, particularly among the younger generations.

Genius DeathTaker: Professional Gaming Mouse

[b]The DeathTaker is a wired professional gaming mouse targetting the eSports scene. It's a claw grip style mouse and is very light for its size although it comes with weights (4.5g x 6) so that you can customize the feel. Plastic is the primary material used and the weights will be necessary for added precision.[/b]   [b]The DeathTaker has an adjustable laser, customizable in-mouse macros and teflon pads at the front and back to help it guide smoothly. You can use the API for ajusting DPI, polling rate and other features.[/b]   [b]At a reasonable $52, it might be worth testing, but there are a few others that might have it beat at the same price range with a more comfortable and precise feel.[/b]   [img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/webroot-en/attachment/10182i304C20A03A1654AB.png[/img]   [url=http://www.decryptedtech.com/enthusiast-peripherals/genius-deathtaker-professional-gaming-mouse-review][b]DecryptedTech Review[/b][/url]

What are the most played games on Steam?

Ars Technica does a nice breakdown here: [url=http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2014/04/introducing-steam-gauge-ars-reveals-steams-most-popular-games/]http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2014/04/introducing-steam-gauge-ars-reveals-steams-most-popular-games/[/url]   Looks like DOTA2 wears the crown, unsurprisingly.

Happy 25th birthday, Nintendo Game Boy!

25 years ago today, on April 21, 1989, Nintendo first released its Game Boy console in Japan. The impact of the device is still being felt as it became the leader in portable gaming for years and established Nintendo as the biggest force in that particular gaming genre.   [img]http://www.neowin.net/images/uploaded/shutterstock_170565581dfdffd_story.jpg[/img]   The [url=http://www.nintendo.com/corp/history.jsp]Nintendo website[/url] mentions that the Game Boy eventually sold 150 million units worldwide, but its influence extends far beyond just cold sales numbers. The original version, with its black and white screen and its 8-bit games, wasn't the most advanced portable console on the market; other devices like the Sega Game Gear were superior in terms of hardware. However, Nintendo was smart to bundle the Game Boy with perhaps the most addicting and perfect game for the console: Tetris.   [url=http://www.neowin.net/news/happy-25th-birthday-nintendo-game-boy]Fu

Anyone considering a 4K monitor for gaming?

There's a bunch that are coming out lately, including this one from Samsung: [url=http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-28-Inch-Definition-Monitor-U28D590D/dp/B00IEZGWI2]http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-28-Inch-Definition-Monitor-U28D590D/dp/B00IEZGWI2[/url]   I'm kinda tempted, although I'd probably need to upgrade my graphics card as well.  Although on the plus side you could probably turn off a lot of the post processing at that resolution.
