Currently there's nothing I've seen IN-GAME that justifies PhysX. It's not some giant, all-crushing soul devouring monstrosity like Havok. Also, you're implying PhysX works properly and elegantly on nVidia cards.

no, that's physics-based fluid simluations. Unless you NEED simluated water (as in, it'll be highly detailed and react SPECIFICALLY to EXACT player-generated events), you just use normal, pre-animated water. I think there was a 360 game released not too long ago that had some impressive...

Unlike Denton, who just wore his coat because it looked cool, Adam clearly wears it to make himself look bigger. This probably won't appeal to anyone not even the slightest bit interested in 3d or Deus Ex 3. It shows Adam for about a minute inside a 3d application, and using the physics to...

Gran Turismo if you re-mapped the steering to the right stick and used X or R2 to accelerate. Though if you've got Demon's Souls or Heavy rain it'd be interesting to see how far you could get (probably flamelurker and the power plant respectively).

Yeah, lots to do but NOBODY has ever made the most of it. When choosing an era, setting, theme, etc, a game developer should embrace it and make the most of it. I've yet to see any sequence (let alone an entire game) that makes the most of a steampunk setting. Visually it can be neat, sort of...

Not quite the case there. While the rendering is almost completely CPU-based, any and all viewport work (what you see on your monitor when you're making the scene) is based on the graphics card. Even then it's not that simple. There are gaming GPU's, and there are CAD workstation GPU's. Just...

Or you could just get SONY to stop faffing about targeting XBL and start targeting a real online system, like Steam. True cloud gaming, massively faster downloads, much better prices, all kinds of chats and groups and free dedicated servers. Heck, Steam's menus would translate brilliantly...

Pretty much everywhere Nathan Drake goes, preferably before he goes there. GT5 kinda makes me want to race an old Lamborghini Miura prototype around Rome and the Colloseum.

Protip: Trap Anna Navarre with a box, killing is entirely optional in that game if you're savvy. For me, Heavy Rain. That drug dealer, with the daughters. That was messed up. Actually, that whole game was messed up in the head. Without spoiling the whole game, killing children (and the...

Enslaved was interesting because it's gameplay is pretty much just an unfinished version of Uncharted 2, even down to the physics, except sometimes you can jump around and under corners like physics just died in a fire or they've mapped your jumping position to part of gollum. For that reason...

If they had a massive bonfire where I could throw kinects onto a flaming pile of kinects I'd be interested. Until then, it will remain a badly broken POS excuse for a peripheral and I hope anyone involved with the project gets fired and any business manager that thought it was a good idea...

The welding torch a guy used to make a Ferrari doesn't go faster than the Ferrari, therefore your argument is invalid. Heck, the entire factory can't even reach more than 5mph without some sort of natural disaster. The fact of the matter is this; for now, the PC can rely on brute force. It...

The entire first level IS a game within a game. You know how sometimes the whole thing was a dream is an end to some movies/games? Well, at the end of the first level the camera pulls back from the screen.

I've played it quite a bit at various EB stores and the SONY displays set up around the place. It's like a Wii, but good, and it works perfectly. next to no lag, 1:1 movement, spot on. Technically, I can't fault it. Unfortunately, the number of Move exclusives out this year is about the...

That means my collection of ye olde brick gameboy (with Mario, Kirby's Dreamland, a japanese Mickey Mouse game???), Gameboy Pocket (played the same games), and pair of Gameboy Colours with a massive selection of games would then be worth a pretty penny. AND one of the Colours is the transparent...
