Comment My 2 cents (Score 2, Informative) 609

Personally I'm using a Synology solution at the moment, for my NAS. They offer a relatively low cost feature rich hardware, with low power and depending on the HDD's you use, lower power consumption than that of a always on PC.I've been thinking about later on upgrading, since a general rule of thumb, you can never have to much storage. For HD BluRay images I would recommend making sure the network isn't the bottleneck and use gigabit ethernet, as I'm finding on my aging 10/100 switches it's not cutting it. xvid's and MP3 streaming it seems to be fine.

Early Look At the New Bionic Commando 63

G4 had a chance to try out the upcoming Bionic Commando title due out in May. The game is a sequel to the NES version from 1988. Their impression is mostly positive: "The gameplay is fast and exciting, but a little light on combat, at least during the first level. There are also challenges that unlock upgrades for Nathan. These could be as simple as doing five zip kicks or as complex as killing a specific enemy with a specific move. It's a great way to add depth to the game and encourage the player to use all of the moves available to them." However, they do criticize the game's linearity, where movement is often restricted by arbitrarily placed radiation clouds. Capcom recently announced that a demo for the game will be available in the coming weeks.
