Season 28 Comes To A Close
News / VGT

Comments (21)Posted by NKexquisite on Sep 01, '10

The 28th season as many probably predicated and have noticed did not muster the numbers of past seasons, but it certainly didn't lack some stiff competition in the quest to be #1. After a 1 week extension the league managed to total just over 25,000 matches for the 7 week season. Both BW and SC 1v1 ladders managed to crown new champions this season. Blade[zT] managed to win his first SC 1v1 title while MiMeTiC won his title on the BW 1v1 side by a mere 23 points.

In the BW 1v1 ladder, the top 5 players all achieved the

rank however none managed to hold onto the

rank unlike the SC 1v1 ladder which had two players achieve the

ranking.

StarCraft II via the GeForce GTX 460

Here I am today with a special light review on a product I highly recommend you go out and buy, that is if you want to play StarCraft II how it was meant to be played - at max settings. Of course, some of you are already playing at that level. Just when you thought SC2 couldn't look any better, NVIDIA comes out of left field with a heavy hitter line of graphics cards: the GeForce 4 series. Today, we're specifically going to take a look at the low-end model of that family. I present to you the GTX 460..

So what makes this card so great, you ask?

It's really damn cheap for the amount of power it packs.

The card comes in two flavors. It comes in at around $200, depending on which manufacturer you buy from (I recommend EVGA), for the 768mb version. For an extra $30 you can find the 1gb version, which I also recommend buying. Both cards are tuned to GDDR5, obviously.

$200 is cheap? You're crazy, Kris!

No, you're crazy.

Out With a Bang
News / VGT

Comments (16)Posted by NKexquisite on Jul 01, '10

Over the past two years, VG's pride and joy, VGT has made a habit of scrapping history and it's record books every 8 weeks and this past 8 week period (figuring in the 2 week break after each season) was no different.. Or was it? The past season's have seen a marginal growth in games from season to season which with the release of Starcraft 2 around the corner, the beta phase 1 complete, and the general age of Starcraft and it's expansion Brood War factored in is a great accomplishment in itself. Despite VGT's critics that love to say "So and so isn't active at all", the numbers never fail to tell the real story.

Exhibition results: VG vs. SC2Armory.com
News

Comments (23)Posted by Spartan[nK] on May 30, '10

The exhibition event, against SC2Armory.com, took place last night and it was one hell of a roller-coaster ride, to say the least. Every player involved, and spectators alike, were kept on the edge of their seats until the very end of the last set of matches. To recap, the format of the event was a basic team-elimination tournament. Five players represented each side, and then players were paired off against another player in a set of best-of-three matches. Representing VG was Spartan, zoINK, KillerPlague, DoggPound, and SoBe.

Over the past month we've received some very generous support from Blizzard, specifically their eSports team, in the form of StarCraft II beta keys: 25 keys in batch 1 and another 50 in batch 2. We've given away the majority of the keys and have 10 unreserved to hand out to those out there unlucky enough to not get into the beta yet. So, from VG to all of you out there, here's your last chance to win a key.
