Saints Row: The Third Multi Monitor/Surround/Eyefinity Feature Video

Surround feature videos talk about any flaws the game has in multi monitor mode, the level of support provided, any hacks needed to manually force support, and also talks about the benefits and joy of playing in surround.

Saints Row 3 is a WSGF Gold Certified game for widescreen support and does not stop there. It gets my seal of approval for 5 stars perfect score in multi-monitor support...

Naval Warfare

Naval Warfare is the PC version of the XBox360 game Aqua. Although it feels a bit dated now compared to Renegade Ops, it's a nice two-stick top-down shooter alternative for XP users. And seriously: steampunk boats !!

The game features a campaign, skirmish mode and 1vs.1 unsplit-screen multiplayer.

Co-op Gaming in Eyefinity: Renegade Ops

Welcome to the next of my video blogs where I look at co-op games and how satisfying the experience is in multi-monitor. I love co-op gaming, but not all co-op games play well in multi-monitor. My reviews cover what I needed to do to get the game working in Eyefinity, any issues that I found in the game that relate to it, and how fun I found the whole experience.

This episode reviews the game Renegade Ops.

In case it is helpful, I have provided a text copy of the transcript as well. Enjoy!

Guild Wars 2 Coming 2012 & Open Beta Soon!

According to the official Arena.net blog, Mike O'Brien states that they have definite plans to release GW2 in the year of 2012.

Also they have just closed an open beta session, and will be starting a second closed beta in February that invites press members (I hope that means me!) after that they have plans to vastly expand the beta invites in the months of March & April to include public access.

I for one am very excited with the news and can't wait to get my hands (and monitors) on Guild Wars 2.
