This is a direct response to NVIDIA’s “closed” approach to their PhysX and 3D Vision technologies. It remains to be seen how AMD plans to execute this initiative and how it plays out for the consumer. In the meantime, NVIDIA seems rather happy to be the dominant player in these areas.

I remember playing Another World on my old Pentium. I was amazed at the animation and the fun game play. I never did finish Another World, but here’s my chance because it has now been re-released on Good Old Games. I wonder if they’re going to re-release Flash Back as well?

Metro 2033 Gets Reviewed by Everyone
Metro 2033 was released earlier this week and it’s been reviewed by pretty much everyone. You read enough of these articles and you get a good idea of what to expect from the game.
