YouGamers

I was doing my usual web trawl just now, and someone on a forum had posted about YouGamers. A site owned by Futuremark, YouGamers looks like a clumsy run-of-the-mill gaming site, with the usual news/previews etc etc.


What makes it very unique (and useful) is that it focuses on PC gaming, and contains something called the Game-O-Meter. A Futuremark ActiveX plugin that measures your system and compares it to a game's minimum specs, and recommended specs.

Very useful stuff, all you gotta do is find a game, and then check your system. If you're doing it for the first time you'll have to let Explorer install the ActiveX plugin, otherwise after under a minute you'll get a metre showing you how your system compares to the game. Clever.
