Voodoo releases gaming PC
Just under a year after being acquired by industry giant Hewlett-Packard, VoodooPC has released a new gaming machine, and is looking to hire about 100 more staff, reports Canada.com.
"The reason we wanted to do it from Calgary was because Voodoo has a firm position in the market in this space, and our team is known for doing some of the best-built PCs in the industry," founder Rahul Sood said.
Voodoo was acquired by HP last September, after gaining an international reputation for building high-performance luxury gaming machines. Since the buy, HP has tripled Voodoo's manufacturing space.
Schwarzenegger wants restrictions
California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger appealed a federal judge's decision striking down a state law barring the sale of violent video games to minors, reports Reuters.
US District Judge Ronald Whyte ruled last month that the law passed in 2005 was unconstitutional, adding there was no evidence that violent video games were any more harmful than depictions of violence in television shows and movies.
"Many studies show the link between playing ultra-violent video games and violent behaviour. We have a responsibility to our kids and our communities to protect against the effects of games that depict ultra-violent actions," Schwarzenegger said in a statement.
AMD Game! begins
In an effort to refresh its brand among gamers who are increasingly opting for Nvidia products, AMD has just launched a new gaming Web site, dubbed AMD Game!, according to TechSpot.
The site is intended as a hub for PC gamers to communicate, collaborate and stay in tune with the latest developments in PC gaming. Gamers will get access to game content, as well as to all the latest AMD drivers and utilities.
A system check is available on the site to test if a system's performance meets the minimum requirements to enable certain games.
