According to a moribund sticker clinging to the front of the computer, it came complete with an Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor, backed with 2GB of DDR2 RAM and a whopping 250GB of hard disk space.

I remembered craving a netbook when they were first released, but unfortunately these netbooks were a bit over my budget when they they were the new hot tech in town. Happily, [...]

There was a time when gaming was a PC or console-based activity but with the rise and rise of mobile technology those days are long gone – so far long gone, in fact, that mobile gaming is now the bigger moneymaker of the two.

It’s not hard to see why. As the smartphone and tablet have become more and more part of our lives the technology has been advancing at an astonishing rate allowing gamers to play when and where they like.

First of all, the seasons are backwards there – Christmas and New Year’s Eve are in the middle of the summer. Next, there’s the fact that Australians love to play the pokies, especially online. Although the country’s gambling laws are quite restrictive, millions of Aussie players visit the Royal Vegas each year.

If you like to pay attention to upcoming game releases, you’ve probably seen a few headlines about Ubisoft’s For Honor, which has become one of the most hotly anticipated video games for 2017. The title has been hailed for its wonderful graphics as well as its detailed and innovative combat system.
