NCSoft Updates NVIDIA Surround Support for Guild Wars 2

Submitted by skipclarke on 2 October, 2012 - 20:17

Though it's not listed in the change notes for the Oct 1st patch, NCSoft has updated support for NVIDIA Surround. They have fixed the stretched character selection/creation and the stretched cut-scenes. The HUD is also perfectly centered on the triple monitor setup, rather than half on and half off.

AMD Trinity Preview - Gaming Performance: Part Deux

Submitted by skipclarke on 2 October, 2012 - 05:01

In a recent article, I shared a first look at the gaming performance of the AMD A10-5800K APU. Overall the new APU performed 1/3 faster than the previous flagship chip, the A8-3850. However, the A10 doesn't provide playable framerates with our normal stress test suite (which runs each game at max settings). However, with only slight drops in image quality the A10 is able to hit an average of 30fps in many popular titles. As we did with our previous APU reviews, I wanted to take a look at how the title performs in slightly more casual/mainstream titles.

Blocks That Matter (also known as BTM) is a two-dimensional indie puzzle platformer developed by Swing Swing Submarine. The player takes the role of “tetrabot”, a robot which is able to collect blocks by jumping into them or drilling them, and can then construct shapes in a “puzzle mode” using four blocks at a time. BTM heavily references the games Minecraft and Tetris through the main characters, in-game mechanics and concepts such as “Pajitnovian physics”.

Atom Zombie Smasher is a real-time strategy game developed by independent developer Blendo Games. In this game, the player attempts to rescue as many citizens as possible from an oncoming zombie horde using helicopter rescue units. As the player progresses, various weapon teams are unlocked that can be deployed to slow the zombie forces while the citizens are rescued.

This game is surprisingly fun and addictive.
