Talk Nerdy to Me
Even if you don't like gaming, there were still plenty of interesting things to be seen at the E3 show in Los Angeles. In addition to Nintendo's Wii U announcement, the Xbox 360 Kinect's new tricks, and Sony's new PlayStation Vita handheld, there were less gaming-centric spectacles to behold, such as evil ice-cream trucks, actual ninja battles, giant dragons, and, of course, outrageously clad women. Take a look at the madness in our top stories.

PCWorld Reviewers' Favorite Files: May 2011Our reviewers can't get enough of utilities. Geeky stuff like benchmarking, drive partitioning, memory testing. Must-haves like desktop organizers and security helpers. Microsoft Office improvements. But we like to have fun, too, so we couldn't resist some great media software, sci-fi themepacks, and designing our own cursors. These are just the highlights from the merry month of May.
