Fractal Design Arc Midi: The Mid Tower You've Been Waiting For?
The more enclosures we get in, the more amazed I am at just how competitive the market is for $99 cases. That market is made only more competitive by younger, hungrier companies like BitFenix and Fractal Design, along with new entries from Corsair and NZXT. In another welcome change of pace, these enclosures tend to be slicker, more streamlined, and less gaudy than the gaming cases of yore while providing oftentimes excellent thermal and acoustic performance.

Indie Platformer VVVVVV to Appear on Nintendo 3DS
VVVVVV was released last September and quickly garnered attention for its cute retro graphics and incredible difficulty. You control a lost space captain out to rescue his missing crew. The game’s selling point is its simple control scheme. There’s no jumping, just a single button for reversing gravity. Frequent and forgiving checkpoints make each dastardly platforming challenge a one-time-only affair, but I'm still certain I wound up with a few gray hairs after my harrowing journey through VVVVVV.
The 3DS version, which will feature a 3D perspective mode and a real-time map on the second screen, will be distributed digitally by Nicalis in the Nintendo eShop. This isn’t the first indie gem Nicalis has brought to a Nintendo console. They’re also responsible for several iterations of Cave Story and the WiiWare version of NightSky.
No word yet on price or release date, but a demo of the original VVVVVV is available on Steam. You can also purchase the full game for a mere $4.99. I strongly suggest you give it a try.
