Intel's Sandy Bridge to beat AMD's Future "Fusion"?

Perhaps AMD should have stayed quiet about their idea of combining the Central processing unit with the graphics processing unit or something they called "Accelerated Processing Unit(APU)"

However we can only speculate on how similar or different they may end up being. The Sandy Bridge processors maybe be considered more of a technology as opposed to AMDs Fusion being a "design philosophy". Who is to say that that wont change in the future though?

As expected Intel is more focused on bringing the best type of performance to both graphics and normal processing and therefore are using DirectX 10.1, while AMD not surprisingly has gone in the graphics direction, including DirectX 11 in their design.

In terms of pricing ... again, they are completely aimed at different markets. While Intel is, of course, bringing their more powerful chips to both desktop and laptop users, AMD -- as of now -- is sticking to lower-mid range laptops and netbooks.

What do I recommend? I cant recommend any, at least not now. Until AMD comes up with a competing chip then both these technologies will stay in separate leagues.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood - PC

After months of waiting, PC is finally getting Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. This game was released on the consoles on November last year. This time around Ubisoft attempted to extend the life of its game by adding a multiplayer feature.

Story mode is basically a continuation of the story told in Assassins Creed and Assassins Creed II, the game makes a good job of explaining the main story line that this game follows right before you start playing as Ezio. I will ofcourse not get into details on the story but I will say that it feels too much like Assassins Creed 2 and those seeking new things should probably stick to multiplayer.

Which brings me to the Multiplayer feature. Considering that there is not much that they could have made out of this kind of story they did a decent job in multiplayer, basically its a game of hide and seek with a bit of tag...I know that sounds kind of weird but its true. One team hunts while the other hides. The teams available are the Assassins and Abstergo Agents which are supposed to be the modern day Templars. It is very fun to jump around from building to building while also being able to stay on the ground by blending in with some of the special abilities like changing character models around you to look exactly the same, or changing your character model altogether.

Overall this seems like a great idea for a game but I would have preferred this to be an expansion or DLC for Assassins Creed 2 ... but then they couldn't have put a full price on it.

Homefront "COD killer"?

Watch out Treyarch, Infinity Ward and DICE, there is a new game in town and it does not carry the battlefield or Call of Duty name in its title!

Homefront by KAOS Studios is a First person shooter game released for XBOX360, PS3 and PC. The game is set in the near future when North Korea has invaded the United States. You play as a member of the resistance fighting back to get your freedom.

This game has been described as a "cod killer" as many people that disagree with the way Treyarch has handled the problems in Black Ops have been patiently waiting for Homefront as a replacement for it.

The multiplayer part of the game is said to be the best if not the "only" part of the game with any worth. Many have said that the single player campaign is a bit too short, as in normal difficulty you may be able to get through it all in under 4 hours. Why should you buy it then? Well, nowadays no one really buys a game for its campaign most people in fact may jump straight to multiplayer as soon as they start up their game.

Multiplayer is largely based on "Team Play" and your experience points will come from that not from individual kills. Customization is great and the addition of vehicles to multiplayer makes the overall experience very good.

In terms of graphics...well, lets just say that for the first try the graphics are decent. It will probably not be compared to the latest games like Battlefield Bad Company 2 or Black Ops but it sure runs smooth and feels great.
