Editor's Note
It's that time of the week! The time of the week where I type really fast and try to summarise the HUGE amount of stuff we've posted on the site!
Excitment!
Okay. Deep breaths, David. Be calm...
Argh, I'm excited again because the top stories this week are awesome! Look at 'em down there, begging for your clicks! We've got another great PC building guide from Vito 'Cyberglitch' Cassissi, looking at selecting parts for PCs of any price point, from budget demons to money-is-not-a-problem monsters. It's great! And I'm typing fast again! Whee!
We've also got a roundup of the first half of the gaming previews at the recent New York Comic Con. From Star Trek Online to the new Wolverine game, we've got it covered, and we'll be posting a second wrap-up in a couple of days.
I can barely breath!
For the SF geeks out there (we know who you are) we've hand-picked some of the best fake ads from science fiction films. Whether you fancy getting behind the wheel of an SUX 6000 (from Robocop) or have a hankering for some Soylent Green (from, um, Soylent... Green), we've got you covered. Yes!
Finally... I'm nearly dying here... we've got an AWESOMELY huge giveaway. And when I say huge, I mean it. It's an EIGHT foot tall statue of a Space Marine from the soon to be released Dawn of War 2. This thing is enormouse, and hella cool. Be sure to check out the gallery to see just a taste of what could be yours.
And now I need to go have a good lie down!
Enjoy!
