BioWare and Electronic Arts has announced that Dragon Age: Origins (PS3, PC, Xbox 360) has officially gone gold and is now currently in manufacturing ready for the November 3 launch date across North America.

A lot of people were surprised when Microsoft announced a couple of weeks back that they have decided to "indefinitely" shelf the PC version for Alan Wake. If you thought avid fans are just going to take this sitting down, you're wrong. They have now gone online, armed with their pitchforks signatures to petition Microsoft to reconsider their decision.

With the arrival of DirectX 11 expected to happen this second half of 2009, Codemasters is jumping on this opportunity to make the most out of this new technology and its performance enhancing features for the PC version of its racing title, DiRT 2. In other words, the game will be delayed.

Heads up, PC gamers. id Software's Peter Sokal has lifted the veil off of the PC requirements for Raven Software's Wolfenstein revamp. The good news is even those with older rigs can run the game. Specs after the jump.

GSC Game World has launched the official site for their upcoming S.T.A.L.K.E.R. sequel, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat. Along with the launch comes information pertinent to any PC gamer: the game's system requirements. Check out details and some new screenshots after the jump.

Wanna prep up your PC for the arrival of Street Fighter IV? This post is for you, then, as Capcom released the minimum and recommended specs for the game. See if you meet the requirements after the jump.

They coined it the "triple threat of gaming excellence". We'd have to agree. Starting this July, PC gamers will get the treat of their lives from Capcom, with the launch of three great titles: Bionic Commando (Xbox 360 and PS3), Street Fighter IV (PS3, Xbox 360), and Resident Evil 5 (Xbox 360 and  PS3 ). All optimized, all with new PC-specific features.

DirectX 11 - the one sure thing you'll want as soon as Windows Seven ships to shelves a few years from now. Revealed back in Gamefest 2008, DirectX 11 turned heads with its venture into multithreaded computing territory and support for using shader processors as additional processing power. Today, however, Microsoft's Kevin Gee detailed what the software engineers at Redmond had planned for the API, and we've compiled a summary at the full story.

And the technology wars begin. Just when you thought NVIDIA had the last say in the verbal bout of "who's processing power gargles nuts now?" Intel decided that it was time to take the graphics game to a higher level. Today, we're introduced to Intel's "Larrabee" - a much rumored CPU concept prototype designed to carry some form of graphics processing as well. Suddenly itching for more? Full story now, pardner.

Yes, we do say, and it's backed by Microsoft's own words. Hot in the higher layers of IT smack talk is the recent bomb that the army of programmers in Redmond already have planned an operating system platform - an offshoot of the Singularity project, mind you. Can't keep up with the specifics? We'll prime you on all things techy, and what Microsoft envisions as their first OS to signal the beginning of a "cloud computing" future.
