Starbound is a 2D adventure game that give you a whole universe to explore and play in, the game has a lot of similarity with Terraria, partly thanks to some of the developers that worked on Terraria working on this game as well. Despite the fact it is only in the first day of very early beta it's multi-monitor support isn't bad at all, the only real issue is the fact the games options menu has a fixed list of resolutions, some of the HUD is on the edge of the screen but the rest of it is ether centred or re-positionable.
In order to get around the fixed resolution list to get Eyefinity or Surround running, you'll need to do the following:
1) Start the game for the first time.
2) Go to the options, select a valid single monitor resolution and select fullscreen, then apply and quit.
3) Navigate to the Starbound install directory, Steam\steamapps\common\Starbound
4) Open starbound.config in a text editor.
5) Find the line that has "fullscreenResolution" on it, and edit the values in the square brackets to read your multi-monitor resolution.
IE. My line reads: "fullscreenResolution" : [ 5040, 1050 ],
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.
While this video can be watched on any screen it has been encoded to look best on a multi-monitor system, so if your running such a system, then select original quality from the drop down box and watch in fullscreen.
In Space Colony HD you must build a base for your ragtag crew, which includes the lovely Venus Jones, Scandinavian biker Stig Svensson, cybernetics expert Mr. Zhang, rowdy barfly Tami and former chicken farmer Billy-Bob Perkins. Keeping your crew happy is tough when they’re so different, but you also have to keep them alive! Maintaining oxygen levels, productivity and defending against hostile alien threats is your responsibility. - official website

Need for Speed Rivals is the latest iteration of the franchise, this one is a mix between the 2010 Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted, you can pick between ether being a racer, and racing against other racers and trying to outrun the cops, or a cop and try to bust all the racers. As for triple monitor support, despite being in the Frostbite 3 engine the game is partly vertical minus, however HaYDeN has released a fix for it and has added it to his Flawless Widescreen tool, you can find that here: http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=24098
The game also has another issue, it is locked to 30 frames per second, and coded in such a poor way then any change to the FPS messes with how fast you accelerate, move and turn in game. You can get the game running decently at 60 FPS by adding the following command line arguments to the games properties in Origin, however it doesn't fix the fact the game is FPS bound, meaning if you can't keep a stable 60 FPS, you game will literally slow down.

It's a wide, wide processing world out there. A whole host of processing options are now available on the market. They run the gamut of extremes between high efficiency and high power. More and more are coming with built-in graphics, and those graphic options are now actually usable.
Should you save money on a CPU purchase, and instead put that towards a better (or possibly 2nd) GPU? Or should that money go to better equipment such as an SSD, higher quality input devices, or additional monitors for Surround/Eyefinity?

Bruised and stranded on the shore of a mysterious island after a shipwreck, our hero is quick to realize that his/her survival depends on gathering materials (and conveniently dropped blueprints) to create all the tools and weaponry required to sustain their living bodies and fend off the not-quite-dead ones. H2S features three pre-rolled characters to get through story and challenge modes, in either solo or 2-player local and online co-op.
CONTRAST is a puzzle/platform game where you can move between a fantastic 3D world and a mysterious shadowy universe in 2D in the blink of an eye. Delve into a dreamlike and surreal 1920s world, inspired by the performance art world of vaudeville and film noir, and cradled by a smooth and sultry jazz ambiance.
