We have been talking about this for a while, but checking today I see that WindowBlinds has surpassed 16 million downloads on Download.com!  That is a lot of downloads, and Download.com is actually where I first discovered WindowBlinds quite a few years ago.  Thank you for your support over the years to help make WB a huge success! To celebrate I will give away a copy of WindowBlinds to a random commenter for themselves or to give to a friend. WindowBlinds on Download.c...

Hello again Impulsers!  Another week is down and it is time to highlight the news and game releases from this past week.  We talked about the opening of the pre-orders for Medal of Honor a week or so ago, but we have updated news this week that if you pre-order the Limited Edition, you will get access to the Battlefield 3 beta in the future.  As a huge fan of the Battlefield series myself, I’m definitely jumping on this.

Speaking of pre-orders, Victoria II from Paradox Interactive is set for release soon and you can grab it off Impulse with bonus content of the official Victoria II Soundtrack.  To kick off that release, we have Victoria Complete on sale for 50% off until August 13th.  This bundle includes Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun and Victoria: Revolutions.

    Gaming Nexus had the opportunity to sit down with Stardock’s Brad Wardell to talk about the upcoming release of Elemental: War of Magic. The deep amount of character customization feels like something out of a big fantasy RPG, instead of a strategy game. Can you explain how character building influences the rest of the game? Well in most strategy games it’s about your kingdom or your empire or your civilization, but Elemental is about you. The first question you’r...

    The HP Envy series is a very sweet line of notebook PC’s.  Aside from strong performance from “under the hood”, the Envy series has a sleek look on the inside and out.  Part of that comes from the addition of both Fences and MyColors from Stardock! Laptopmag.com has a review up on the Envy 14, showing the desktop with both Fences and MyColors . http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptops/hp-envy-14.aspx?page=5#
