GameStop To Offer iOS Devices

According to 9TO5Mac, GameStop will soon be offering the entire lineup of iOS devices. They will also be accepting Apple iOS device trade-ins and according to some sources will begin as soon this week. Unfortunately, GameStop's trade-in policy with video games leaves much to be desired so don’t expect a big wad of cash after rolling in with your 80gb iPod Classic.

Portal Made Into A Worthy Short Live Action Film

This Portal fan made short film titled Portal: No Escape by Dan Trachtenberg, took more than a year to complete. That's a pretty long time for only 7 minutes of action, but it looks like it all paid off because the finished result is pure awesome and only shows that there is huge potential for a big budget Hollywood Portal movie in the future. I know I would hand over my money to go see a Portal movie made into a blockbuster.

Logitech Wants Its Own Fling, Outs Joystick For iPad

Logitech's latest gaming accessory is called the Joystick, and it's a springy plastic thumb stick with a few suction cups that you stick to your iPad's screen to give you better control while gaming. Looks familiar doesn't it? That's because Logitech has essentially taken Ten One Design's popular Fling and renamed it as if it were its own. Logitech has been on a shopping spree as of late. Going after products it thinks it can put its name on and sale like Zagg's Keyboard Case for the iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Only this time Logitech hasn't even mentioned its partnership with Ten One Design. At least Logitech's Joystick will run you a bit less at just $19.99 a pop instead of purchasing two Flings for $29.95.

Razer Reveals Blade, World's Slimmest Portable Gaming Laptop

Razer has teased us long enough with its plans to create their very own gaming laptop, and now it's a reality. Razer has announced that it's stepping into the gaming PC business with its very own Blade gaming laptop and dubbing it "the world's first true gaming laptop". The Blade's enclosure is fully made out of lightweight, anodized black aluminum for that ultra stealthy gamer look, and is thinner than the MacBook Pro at just .88" thick which makes it the thinnest most powerful gaming laptop in the world. 

Even while being thinner than a MacBook Pro, the Razer Blade still manages to pack some heat under the hood though with some powerful specs including a 2.8GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 8GB of RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M with 2GB of video RAM. All of this is packed into such a slim form factor boasting a 17-inch LED backlit display at 1920x1080. These are some impressive specs for such a laptop.

The Razer Blade's other notable features include backlit keys, the Switchblade UI with customizable tactile keys with matching graphic overlays that adapt to different games you're playing and a multi-purpose LCD panel that is touch-based and displays in-game information and can double as a multi-touch trackpad. Razer's ultra portable Blade gaming laptop will be available later this year for a staggering $2,799.

2 Minutes Of Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Gameplay Will Rock Your Socks Off

Here's an epic, 2 minute multiplayer gameplay footage of Battlefield 3 being played on the massive, vehicle heavy Caspian Border map with an incredible amount of players, 64 to be exact. I don't know about you, but I've always preferred the Battlefield franchise as opposed to the Call Of Duty franchise of run n' gun games. This is some Michael Bay action right here. Battlefield 3 is the most anticipated game of the year, and for a good reason! It's expected to hit stores on October 25.
