			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ASUS unveiled a number of new gaming products at CeBIT in March this year, including Republic of Gamers (ROG) notebook PCs, high-performance motherboards, graphics cards, 3D monitors, router and headsets. All hold true to the ASUS promise to provide choice for everyone and complete its line-up of immersive gaming products.<br />
<span id="more-10274"></span><br />
<strong>ROG G Series notebooks for the best mobile gaming experience</strong></p>
<p>The new Republic of Gamers (ROG) G Series notebooks lead the charge. Designed for hardcore gamers who want to be able to play anywhere, the G74Sx uses the latest Intel® ‘Huron River’ Core™ i5 and i7 processors for outstanding performance with any application, while the latest NVIDIA® enthusiast level graphics card ensure class-leading 3D performance. NVIDIA® 3D Vision is supported as standard too, as is big-screen 3D output via HDMI 1.4 to a compatible display. Cool running is ensured at all times by a unique thermal management system that uses two intelligent fans to cool the CPU and GPU, while also drawing cool air through vents at the front of the case and expels warm air through the rear to keep the system cool and comfortable. The case is designed for easy upgrades too, and offers quick access to the dual internal hard drive bays and memory slots.</p>
<p>Joining the G74Sx is the new ROG G53 notebook with a deadzone-free 3D display that can be viewed without the need for special 3D glasses. By combining 3D lenticular lens technology with the AUO ‘naked eye’ eye-tracking system, the G53 screen renders full 3D images that can be viewed from any angle for a more comfortable viewing experience. Both 2D and 3D modes can operate on the screen at the same time too, so on-screen text remains clear at all times.</p>
<p><strong>ROG Rampage III Black Edition motherboard delivers extreme gaming performance</strong></p>
<p>The ROG Rampage III Black Edition motherboard is an evolution of the award-winning Rampage III Extreme, which set new world records in overclocking. Everything that made the Rampage III Extreme so great is back, but with a stylish black-themed design, plus many hardware and software improvements.</p>
<p>Most notable is the supplied ROG ThunderBolt expansion card that enhances both LAN and audio performance. This incorporates an award-winning Bigfoot Networks Killer™ E2100 networking platform that automatically classifies and accelerates online game traffic for maximum networking performance. Class-leading XONAR™ audio technology also provides increased sound quality and a built-in headphone amplifier with adjustable impedance settings — perfect for getting the drop on the competition when gaming.</p>
<p>Combined, these two technologies provide gamers with a superior online gaming experience that will overwhelm the competition. Better yet, the ROG Rampage III Black Edition also comes with the ASUS GPU TweakIt utility that is upgraded feature combined in ROG Connect and allows gamers to modify the graphics card settings for greatest visual impact.</p>
<p><strong>ROG MATRIX GTX 580 graphics card makes overclocking easier than ever</strong></p>
<p>The new ROG MATRIX GTX 580 graphics card ships with a number of proprietary ASUS iROG technologies for superior gaming performance, including TweakIt for real-time GPU voltage adjustment, ProbeIt for instant voltage readings and a Safe Mode reboot button for a foolproof overclocking experience. The all-new ASUS GPU Tweak utility also allows enthusiasts to monitor and optimize clock speed, voltage and fan speed to achieve extreme levels of performance.</p>
<p>The ROG MATRIX GTX 580 also runs cool, thanks to the exclusive DirectCU II design that places copper heatpipes in direct contact with the GPU for improved thermal efficiency. Twin custom-made fans circulate up to 600% more air for a 20% cooler operation too, while the 16-phase Super Alloy Power components ensure greater operational stability and a longer product lifespan.</p>
<p><strong>New VG278H 3D monitor, RT-N66U router &amp; ROG Vulcan-ANC gaming headset</strong></p>
<p>Recognizing that a successful gaming experience depends on more than just what is inside a PC, ASUS has also introduced a 3D monitor and a new range of PC peripherals. The VG278H 3D display features a 27-inch LED backlit screen and is designed for gamers who want complete immersion in the latest titles. With full support for 3D graphics cards via HDMI 1.4 and a built-in infrared emitter, users can enjoy a wire-free 3D experience.</p>
<p>The new RT-N66U Dual-band Wireless-N Gigabit Router is aimed at gamers looking for a lag-free experience with online gaming; and anyone who wants speedy internet and network access. Support for simultaneous 2.4GHz and 5GHz connections allows HD content to be streamed over 802.11n Wi-Fi at speeds up to 450Mbps for lag-free enjoyment. The 600MHz processor ensures both snappy response times and highly capable multi-tasking performance too, with support for up to 300,000 data sessions.</p>
<p>The ROG Vulcan-ANC Gaming Headset completes the new range of Republic of Gamers accessories. Perfect for gaming in noisy environments such as LAN parties or live gaming contests, the Vulcan-ANC Gaming Headset uses dual-noise-cancelling technology to filter external noise from both its high-quality speakers and boom microphone. The result is clear and directional audio for professional gamers to focus on winning the game.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OCOSMOS Co., Ltd, a leading innovator and developer of consumer electronics and solutions, today unveiled the world&#8217;s most user-friendly personal computer and gaming device: the OCS9 Tablet PC, revolutionizing both professional and gaming PC markets.<br />
<span id="more-10106"></span><br />
The OCS9 is a multimedia PC tablet powered by Intel&#8217;s next generation Atom platform codenamed &#8220;Oak Trail&#8221;, running Windows 7, and capable of running the most demanding online PC games, MMORPG, 3D, productivity and social networking applications. It&#8217;s a high-end tablet PC. Its uniquely usable OMOS Key interface enhances the ease and speed of tasks and games commonly performed on a laptop or desktop and its intuitive control mechanism is superior to multi-touch interfaces for playing games and browsing the Web.</p>
<p>The OCS9 is built for hardcore and casual gaming, interactive entertainment, social networking and productivity applications, with its OMOS interface, nine-inch (diagonal) multi-touch display, detachable QWERTY controller with virtual keyboard, connectivity over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and USB 2.0 HS, powerful stereo sound, and long battery life, making it the ideal Tablet PC. A stand allows users to tilt the tablet for operation at a convenient angle. The OCS9 also comes with a pouch that holds the detachable controller and the alternate battery.</p>

<p>The OCS9 Tablet PC delivers a new platform of Tiny Computer (TC) technology that benefits both business users and the gaming public, and its unique OMOS Key interface overcomes the limitations of multi-touch interfaces.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Intel Atom processor continues to create waves of innovation in the industry,&#8221; said Rene Torres, director of marketing for Intel&#8217;s Notebook and Tablet Group. &#8220;We are excited to see OCOSMOS take advantage of Intel Atom&#8217;s performance and compatibility to bring PC-class gaming experiences to life with their OCS9 announcement.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Xbox gaming worldwide explodes as Razer, the leading high-end precision gaming brand, finally announces the release of their brand new elite Xbox 360 controllers: the Razer Onza Tournament and Standard Editions. Shopping malls and game outlets with barricaded doors and organized queues won&#8217;t stop the onslaught of hysterical gamers who&#8217;ve endured the long wait for these brutal console controllers.<br />
<span id="more-10070"></span><br />
&#8220;We are extremely excited to finally offer console gamers the high-precision and tremendous detail that we have always done for the PC,&#8221; said Robert &#8220;Razerguy&#8221; Krakoff, president Razer USA. &#8220;So I recommend pre-ordering for minimal stress and safety issues, as riots and mass mobs are expected at Razers&#8217; retailers.&#8221;</p>
<p>Built for the hardcore competitive gamer, the Razer Onza Tournament Edition offers superior customizability with adjustable resistance analog sticks. Onza&#8217;s tagline Resistance is Futile means nothing stands in your way for exceptional precision. Twist the analog sticks in one direction to make them more resistant for steadier control, or twist in the opposite direction for quicker, fluid movements. Boom! He&#8217;s dead. Boom! She&#8217;s dead. You&#8217;re just too fast; nothing&#8217;s stopping you when you have an Onza in your hands.</p>
<p>The Razer Onza Standard Edition features Multi-Function Buttons (MFB) on the controller&#8217;s shoulders which allow remapping of critical buttons to any location under your fingertips. Not only does this increase efficiency of game control, but aids those with disabilities unable to reach specific functions on a crappy standard controller. Razer lets everybody play. Both Standard and Tournament Editions feature MFB, Hyperesponse™ technology, PC compatibility, and a 15 foot cable for the ultimate pleasure in Xbox gaming.</p>
<p>About the Razer Onza Tournament Edition Xbox 360 Controller:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://dailyconnect.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/game-hub.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-9723" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 3px;" title="game-hub" src="http://dailyconnect.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/game-hub.jpg" alt="game-hub" width="300" height="210" /></a>Microsoft today introduces a new gaming hub that connects its three major social gaming portals, blurring the line between casual and social gameplay, said Michael Wolf, senior marketing manager for Xbox Product Marketing.<br />
<span id="more-9722"></span><br />
The Microsoft Game Hub is a new feature that starting today appears in a similar way on MSN Games, Bing Games and Windows Live Messenger, effectively allowing anyone who uses any one of those different sites to play the same games, see their friends’ status updates, and send each other game challenges.</p>
<p>“With today’s announcements, we’ve made it easier to find and play the games you love while connecting to the people who matter most to you,” Wolf said. “We’re driving that experience across multiple platforms so millions of players can share their experiences with their social circles.”</p>
<p>In tandem with the Microsoft Game Hub, the company also today announced that the MSN Games site has been completely rebuilt, the games experience on Windows Live Messenger has been updated, and Bing Games has been expanded internationally into English-speaking markets including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and New Zealand.</p>
<p>By tying the three casual gaming sites together with the new hub, Microsoft aims to make non-hardcore gaming more social, Wolf said. Through the new hub, players can sign into their Facebook or Windows Live accounts (or both), scroll through their friends’ status updates, send casual game challenge requests, view game leaderboards, save a game as a favorite to make it easier to find, and track their favorite games, game history and scores – no matter what platform they’re on.</p>
<p>“It doesn’t matter where you play – on Messenger, on Bing, on your mobile device, or on your PC,” Wolf said. “You can have that sense of connectivity and competition regardless of platform, which is something no one’s ever really done before.”</p>
<p>Microsoft is hoping the unique offering resonates with casual gamers, who, according to the Casual Games Association, now number more than 200 million around the world. The company already has seen how wide an audience there is for new places to play casual games – since launching in June, Bing Games has already seen more than 55 million game session played to date right in the browser.</p>
<p>In general, casual games refer to video games developed for the general public that are easy to learn and play, Wolf said. Unlike the hardcore gamer audience, which is typically young and male, the casual games demographic tends to be older and skewed toward women.</p>
<p>That audience will find their favorite games on Microsoft’s properties, Wolf said. All three portals will include a carefully chosen selection of popular and critically acclaimed games from the console, handheld, mobile, and online platforms, with new games launching regularly. Today, at launch, more than 35 titles, including hits such as Cubis 2, Super Stacker, and Plants vs. Zombies are connected and playable across MSN Games, Windows Live Messenger and Bing.</p>
<p>“Typically, a lot of these games tend to be very solitary,” Wolf said. He remembered when Bejeweled first came to MSN games back in 2000. On Microsoft’s Redmond campus, Wolf would walk down the halls and notice printouts of people’s high scores posted on doors. “People would be saying, ‘beat that,’” he said. “Now, we’re letting you do that with the people who matter most to you.”</p>
<p>Microsoft is hoping the day’s announcements also resonate with game developers and publishers, said Alex Tinsman, a manager with Xbox Product Marketing. “The Microsoft Game Hub is really breaking new ground because that one wrapper instantly makes everything immediately social,” she said. “What that means to publishers is that they write it once, and then publish to any location. It creates amazing opportunities they never had before.”</p>
<p>The Game Hub also creates a big opportunity for Microsoft, she added. Although often overshadowed by Xbox and the company’s offerings for hardcore gamers, Microsoft’s commitment to the casual games realm goes back a decade, Tinsman said. “The company has been innovative in casual game space for years, but the new game hub is a very significant step into creating what the future looks like across all Microsoft properties, whether PC, mobile, Messenger or Xbox LIVE, and moving into a very exciting unified front.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tune in to see it on “The Oprah Show®.” And find out what has Ellen DeGeneres moving and grooving. Even Geoffrey the Giraffe® knows Kinect for Xbox 360 is sure to be the hottest gift this holiday. Today, the countdown to Kinect begins, as Microsoft Corp. announced the launch of a multiyear advertising campaign and revealed the complete lineup of 17 controller-free games that will transform living rooms around the world starting on Nov. 4.<br />
<span id="more-9537"></span><br />
With pre-orders rapidly selling out and thousands of retailers across the country opening at midnight on launch day, Kinect is set to fly off store shelves and get everyone off the couch and on their feet this holiday season.</p>
<p>“The very first time we saw Kinect, we knew it would be a ‘must have’ item for the holiday season,” said Richard Barry, vice president, general merchandise manager, Toys “R” Us® Inc. “There is no better place in the world to introduce innovative new products than Toys “R” Us, and we are excited about the full day of activities planned in New York City, building up to the much anticipated sale of the first Kinect sensor at our flagship store in Times Square.”</p>
<p>Excitement for Kinect has reached a fever pitch. Over the past four months, tens of thousands of kids and parents, seasoned gamers and newbies alike jumped into the world of controller-free entertainment on the nationwide Kinect Experience Tour. This week, Microsoft continues to fan the flames with the launch of the Kinect global ad campaign.</p>
<p>Tune in to see Kinect for Xbox 360 featured on “The Oprah Show” on Tuesday, Oct. 19 as part of “Susan Boyle, Jackie Evancho: What Happened to the Next Big Thing?” Check local listings for air times. Even Ellen is in on the fun when Kinect makes a special appearance on the “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” later this month.</p>
<p>“The Xbox 360 team created a multiyear, integrated campaign showcasing real people at the heart of the experience,” said Mike Delman, corporate vice president of IEB global marketing, Microsoft. “Kinect puts consumers at the center of their entertainment, and our marketing efforts follow that same charter.”</p>
<p>A Gift for the Whole Family</p>
<p>For less than the price of four tickets to see “The Nutcracker” this holiday, Kinect is a gift that awakens the living room all year round with laughter, camaraderie and the simple joy of new experiences shared with family and friends. The all-in-one Xbox 360 4GB Console with Kinect includes the new Xbox 360 4GB console, Kinect sensor and “Kinect Adventures,” priced at $299.99 ERP (U.S.). Or for those who have an Xbox 360 console1 at home, the stand-alone Kinect for Xbox 360 priced at $149.99 ERP (U.S.) includes the Kinect sensor and “Kinect Adventures” and works with the 42 million Xbox 360 consoles currently in homes worldwide.</p>
<p>With 17 Kinect-enabled titles debuting in November, Kinect for Xbox 360 offers something for gamers (and nongamers) of every stripe.</p>
<p>Family Game Night … With a Kinect Twist</p>
<p>Befriend a playful tiger cub, collect treasures from around the globe or cast a spell in the wizarding world. Whether adopting a new family pet in “Kinectimals” (Frontier Developments Ltd./Microsoft Game Studios), or embarking on a wet and wild rafting trip in “Kinect Adventures” (Good Science Studio/Microsoft Game Studios), Kinect for Xbox 360 is the one gift the whole family will enjoy this holiday season.</p>
