Torchlight II is a dungeon crawler that has an offline single player mode as well as online and LAN multi-player modes. The game has native support for multi-monitor systems, it is fully horizontal plus, the UI is correctly scaled and the most important elements can be centred although some elements are bound to the edges of the screen. 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.
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.

The review copy of Max Payne 3 was provided by NVIDIA. This allowed me to do the Detail Report on the display support, and write this article. Thanks guys.vvI completed the basic storyline set of chapters in about 16 hours, playing on easy. I got 10/46 Steam Achievements, and put together four golden guns (with help from the IGN Guide).
Truth be told I’m not a big fan of shooters, first or third person. When titles such as Doom and Quake first gained popularity, I was in college and playing RPGs and the first RTS games like Dune II. I wasn’t into the “run and gun” idea, and didn’t see the fun in running around just shooting stuff.

E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy is an indie action/role-playing first-person shooter video game created by the 12-person French development team Streum On Studio, and built using Valve Corporation's Source engine. It is a cyberpunk themed game based on the role-playing board game "A.V.A." developed by Streum On Studio in 1998.
Everything about this game is strange. Even the HUD in multimon is strange, all on the left hand screen. If you like strange, this is a good start.

Botanicula is a point-and-click adventure game developed by Amanita Design. I'm not even convinced it's a game. It's definitely point and click, and it might be an adventure, but game I am not convinced about. You click on random things until something happens, and then you ask 'was that actually what I wanted to happen?' before realizing that no, you still don't know what the point of all this even is.
On a bright note, wikipedia says that Botanicula is helping the World Land Trust to protect hundreds of acres of rainforest.
