This past week at CES, NVIDIA and ASUS teamed up to show off The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim running on ASUS’ latest and greatest tablet — the Transformer Prime. More »
We suspect that many a Christmas/New Year’s party over the last couple of weeks was privvy to some embarrassing, drunken Kinect shenanigans – I know my holiday season wasn’t shy of a few ‘what’s up’ hands on Dance Central. But would the Kinect experience translate to PC? PrimaSense and Asus think so, and are putting their money where their proverbial mouth is. More »
A few months ago, we reviewed a handful of budget AM3 motherboards and were surprised at the quality offered by sub-$US100 products. Since AMD owns the entry-level CPU market, it only makes sense that there are plenty of affordable motherboards, but with the Phenom II X6 range gaining popularity, users are once again looking to invest big in the AM3 platform.

ASUS hears your cries, PC gamers. They know you’re not content with keyboard and mouse controls, that you’re desperate to get your hands on a faux Wii-remote to control the seven games that support it.
The engineers at ASUS have done it again, unveiling “another world’s first” with the Eee Stick, a new controller that “translates users’ physical hand motions into corresponding movements onscreen.” It’s so fresh, so revolutionary, so ahead of its time, that we can’t even begin to wrap our heads around it.
According to the press release, it comes in three parts, an Activation stick, a Navigation stick and a 2.4GHz RF dongle. We love anything with dongles. It also has three operation modes, perfect for sports, action, racing, flight and beat ‘em ups, as well as first person shooters and light gun games. That’s pretty much everything!
Well done, ASUS. Well done.

It is! Look at it. While you sit there and process words, and surf internets, and play games, it just sits there, red light pulsing, whooaaaammmm, whooaaammmm. It knows it was created by man, and does not care. It will rebel. It will rise up, infiltrate our ranks, and rain death upon us all (mostly with its quad-core CPU, 8GB of DDRIII RAM, 3-way NVIDIA GTX280 SLI and 4TB HDD). No mention of price in the press release, but we’ll put $5 on it being “not cheap”.
What’s inside the box: ASUS’s first ever stab at a dedicated gaming PC. Features a Core 2 Extreme CPU. Support for up to 8GB of DDR3 memory. 3-card SLI Nvidia support. A HDD up to 4 terabytes. Liquid cooling.
What’s outside the box: What the baby would look like if Megatron and a Cylon (the robot kind, not the attractive lady kind) ever knocked boots. Truly frightening. No word on price, but…yeah, it won’t be cheap. Eyes-on ASUS’ first gaming desktop: ARES CG6150 [Engadget, via Gizmodo AU]
