Need for Speed: Most Wanted is a racing game from Criterion, the game is a sort of hybrid between Burnout Paradise and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. It has pretty good multi-monitor support, I didn't need to mess about with the resolution, renders horizontal plus by default, the HUD is by default located to fit to a 16:9 aspect ratio, however there is an option to change the HUD scale, and this can be used to move it to 16:10 or 4:3. The video itself is part analysis, part walkthough and part waffle, feel free to like or dislike my video and comment are always welcome too.

Monster Hunters Tri is an action game that sees you taking the roll of a monster hunter who's main purpose it to hunt and kill or trap the biggest and baddest monsters around. The game is actually a Wii game, a 2 year old one at that, and to get it running on a multi-monitor system I've been using the dolphin emulator as well as a few other tools that let me create an image from the original game on my Wii. The video itself is part analysis, part walkthough and part waffle, and I largely made it just to see if I could get it working, in my opinion Monster Hunters Tri was/is one of the best games out for the Wii.

Dishonored is a first person action role play game, where you play someone who was wrongly accused of killing an Empress and must correct this injustice. The games menu system is correctly scaled and centred, however ingame itself renders the FoV vertical minus, including the HUD. Luckily HaYDeN has already fixed the FoV and has added the fix into the Flawless Widescreen tool. The video itself is part analysis, part walkthough and part waffle, my commentary need works I know, need more practice, but feel free to like or dislike my video and comment.

XCom: Enemy Unknown is a turn based strategy game that is design along the same lines of the very original games from the series. The game accepts multi-monitor resolutions, and most menus are correctly scaled and centred, however the FoV is all over the place. The video below was purely created to show the existing level of support, before any fixes have been completed, which our developers are currently looking into creating.

Time for a new product review! This time I have a hands on look at the Cube by Nuforce. The cube is a small portable speaker that is self powered with a built in DAC, Headphone Amp, and supports both digital (via usb) and analog (via 3.5mm) inputs for maximum compatibility for any device. Looking for a way to one up the built in speakers on your device? This may be the ticket you were looking for.

MechWarrior Online is a first person shooter where you pilot 25 to 100 tons of weapons on legs and you have to defeat other people piloting the same. The game has native support for multi-monitor systems, the main menu / launcher does load in windows mode in the centre of the screen, but the core of the game is horizontal plus and the HUD centred correctly. The video itself is part analysis, part walkthough and part waffle, my commentary need works I know, need more practice, but feel free to like or dislike my video and comment.
