How long was Razer waiting to use that product name? Today, with its “PC Gaming Is Not Dead” countdown elapsed, the company unveiled its “Blade” laptop, billed as “the world’s first true gaming laptop.” What must Alienware think about that?

The “Blade” uses the UI from Razer’s “Switchblade” concept — a set of ten adaptive keys and an LCD touchscreen built into the keyboard, which can be used either as a touchpad or to display in-game information.

ES: Skyrim Already Has DLC Planned

When The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim arrives in stores this November (likely by way of carrier dragon), it’ll assuredly feature many, many hours of content. Nevertheless, gamers will want more, and Bethesda has promised post-launch content to be of the “substantial” variety. The first two pieces of that content will arrive exclusively on Xbox Live Marketplace at least “30 days before it’s available anywhere else.”

Bethesda revealed the news this morning via press release, which also indicated we’ll see more than two “add-on content drops” for Skyrim after the game launches.

Given the kind of expansions we’ve seen for the Fallout titles and Oblivion, we expect the folks at Bethesda have some serious plans in mind for DLC support

Review Roundup: Deus Ex Human Revolution

So far it seems as if DEHR is gaining top scores all across the board:

  • Eurogamer (90/100):Deus Ex: Human Revolution is probably not as perfect as I’m making it sound. Some of the rules about what’s interactive and not seem quite arbitrary, which is a pretty blatant failing in a game which tries so hard to make you feel like you’re not being restricted, and while the level design is clever and varied, the interior design definitely is not, and there’s also a lot of repetition in the incidental details.”
  • IGN (90/100): “It’s a visionary, considered piece of work, and while my thoughts drift to the things that could have been and the compromises made due to the possibilities of video games in 2011, they’re just as quick to consider playing through it again. Human Revolution is a smart, rewarding piece of transhumanist noir that does justice not just to Deus Ex, but to the fiction that inspired it. “
  • GameTrailers (87/100):Deus Ex offers a good deal of mischief to get into, and it’s all backed up by a great stealth system and a solid shooting game. With its variable story, as well as how it encourages you to alter your approach to obstacles, it’s also a game that rewards multiple playthroughs. The future is bleak and at times ugly, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.”
  • 1UP (A): “I don’t normally replay games, but there are exceptions: I’ve probably played through Metal Gear Solid 3 a dozen times and Deus Ex about four. I have a feeling that DEHR is going to be one of those games. I’m loving the sheer amount of choice I have because it’s up to me to discover it. “
