We’re in the midst of CES 2014’s gadget and computer hardware information avalanche and it’s starting to get a little difficult to separate the exciting announcements from the announcements we’ll forget about before the show’s over. For example, how do you feel about Razer’s announcement of Project Christine, a modular gaming PC? I mean, look at it. That doesn’t look like any PC I’ve ever seen. Where’s the dust-clogged exhaust fans, the fire-hazardous tangle of cables, and the unsightly, space-inefficient case?

Apparently, Razer has been working on this for two years. The idea is to eliminate one of the most prohibitive aspects of PC gaming—installing new components. Okay, we agree that plugging in a new graphics card or more RAM is not that difficult, but the sight of an exposed motherboard does fill some with debilitating fear. It’s why a lot of people buy consoles. They are simple, plug and play consumer devices that just work. Mostly.

Project Christine will allow you to plug in any optical drive, extra storage, GPU, or CPU, each of which is encased in a proprietary, water-cooled module. All parts will plug into the PCI-express, SLI enabled “backbone.” Need a better graphics card? simply buy a new module and exchange or add it to your existing one. That does sound convenient, and ideally it’s a foolproof system which makes upgrades quick and easy.

The machine is supposedly very quiet, without cables, and its touch LCD screen displays control and maintenance information. Razer didn’t say how much more expensive these modules are when compared with their regular counterparts, or if it will allow other manufactures to sell them.

Actually, it seems as if Razer is still undecided about a lot of the details here. As CEO Min-Liang Tan told The Verge, the goal of the announcement was to “throw it out to gamers and see if people like it.”

So, do you like it?

Evolve is a new co-op shooter from Turtle Rock Studios, the same people that brought you the post-apocalyptic hit Left 4 Dead. The February issue of Game Informer will feature a 12-page spread on the upcoming title that is described as a…

…sci-fi multiplayer-focused shooter pits a four-player crew of alien hunters against a separate player-controlled monster that grows larger and more powerful over the course of matches. Each hunter features its own unique items and abilities, and while the monster may be outnumbered, its size and an assortment of devastating attacks make it a more than formidable foe.

Evolve is slated to release on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 this fall.

Well here’s some big news on one of the year’s most anticipated games. Titanfall only supports a maximum of 6 vs 6 players during online play.

Answering a fan query on Twitter, Respawn Entertainment’s Vince Zampella confirmed the news, saying that this, “turned out to be the best balance with AI for us.”

So how do you fill a map that only has twelve players in it? With AI soldiers. Zampella didn’t confirm exactly how many AI soldiers would be included, but did say it’d be “enough to make it fun,” before adding that it’s the players who are “the real threat”.

Zampella also added that every player can have a Titan with them, which he says will make firefights feel busy

“It is incredibly fun, we did a lot if testing. It is all about what we found most fun,” Zampella concluded.

Titanfall is an online only game and will therefore not include a campaign.

The game is due for release in March on PC, Xbox 360 and Xbox One

Muppets Most Wanted has released a new teaser trailer online, in which our furry friends’ Twitter following proclaim their excitement over the new film.

Using Twitter quotes to promote a movie has become a bizarre phenomenon over recent years, and the Muppets skewer it perfectly with a series of inane online comments that don’t really add up to anything at all.

And if that doesn’t float your boat, there’s also a shot of Kermit standing atop Ricky Gervais’s head. Which is fun!

Take a look at the new trailer, below…

The new film will see the Muppets embark on a globe-trotting heist caper, with human support coming from Gervais, Tina Fey and Ty Burrell.

Directed by James Bobin, with another host of all-star cameos expected, Muppets Most Wanted will open in the UK on 28 March 2014.
