State of the Wok

Loyal readers of the site will have undoubtedly noticed the updates in design and navigation to GamerWok in Februrary.  We're now fully hosted and supported by SquareSpace and subsequently, require a bit of tidying up on the backend during this time of conversion.

The editors are working hard to have all the previously posted content fixed up and to have the new content prepared.  We're expecting this to happen in the next few weeks and to have regularly scheduled content being posted soon after.  But what about a tease you ask?  For the patient types, you will have reviews of blockbuster games to look forward to, some older titles that still needs addressing (such as Mass Effect 2) and, of course, many tech gadgets such as iPhone juice packs, noise cancelling headphones, and the return of the gamer's PC builds.

In the meantime, visit TPSN for some PS3 centric news and check out Across The Pond for the lastest gaming, music, entertainment discussions in podcast form!

Avatar Review [Movies]

So everyone’s heard the “buzz” around this film for months now (even from us). People are talking about everything from the new 3D cameras, to the Na'vi alien language that was created, and the fact that it is the most expensive movie budget OF ALL TIME. And while I am always a skeptic when it comes to “internet buzz,” the difference with this one is that most of it isn’t manufactured. People are actually excited about this film.

Mainstream Gamer PC Build [December 2009]

Harsher economic times means less disposable income for some but just because you can't afford a monster of a system doesn't mean you will be left in the dark. In fact, gaming PCs have reached a point where hardware advancement is beyond that of what most software require when in comes to raw power. For example, other than a few choice games such as Crysis, the ATI Radeon HD 5800 series video cards have few troubles rendering today's games at 1920x1200 pixels and below with high/maximum detail settings.

Technology Addiction [Editorial]

To clear the air before I start, be aware that the following is based on my own experiences. I didn't scour literature for factual data or base this post on scientific studies. With that said...
