Video games have come a long way from Duck Hunt. The graphics are better, the plots are more adventurous, and the situations are more challenging. We also finally rid ourselves of that Duck Hunt laughing dog, perhaps the greatest perk. However, a benefit even greater than losing the pooch, is this new age of video games also aid in education.

We have a new poll for you to vote on. This week we're asking which is better, ATI or NVIDIA? Personally, I think you can't lose with either but if forced to make the choice I think I'll go with NVIDIA.

This is because I haven't found a single laptop sized mouse that felt good in my hand. That all changed when I discovered the Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse. If you're a laptop user unable to warm up to a touchpad or pointing stick then you'll want to check this mouse out - it's an almost perfect for Laptop users.

Not only can these gaming laptop computers hang with the standard clunky computer tower, but they can also be ordered fully custom to meet the exact specifications of any gamer.
