Depth Hunter

Submitted by Anonymous on 24 December, 2011 - 12:24

It's like breaking in a tropical aquarium screensaver with a speargun in hand. Take a deep breath, aim, shoot and reel'em in. Misleading title should be Shallow Water Spearfishing, unless players are actually enticed to hunt for depth in what looks at first glance like a pretty unambitious game ?

Immerse yourself in this addictive puzzler that's all about strategically twisting and connecting mismatched dials to save precious droplitz. Just making a single junction is child's play; can you master the art of the combo or will you let your pipes runneth over?

AMD Radeon 7970 Review

Submitted by skipclarke on 22 December, 2011 - 06:00

AMD continues the trend of holiday releases with the launch of the Radeon HD 7970. Naturally, the new 7970 is slotted to replace and improve upon the Radeon HD 6970. The question is how much better does it perform, and what new features does it bring to the table. Earlier in the month I was invited to a Tech Day at the AMD Campus in Austin, TX. Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend. So, my knowledge on the technical details of the new architecture is a bit shallow. I will be meeting with folks at AMD in the new year to get a better understanding, and will follow up with a separate article then.

Until then, let's get into some performance details and look at what AMD is planning for the Eyefinity ecosystem in early 2012.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Surround Hack Feature Video

Submitted by ViciousXUSMC on 22 December, 2011 - 04:36

Kicking off a new sub-series of feature videos to supplement my current surround feature videos that I produce. The "Hack" series is focused on being more educational teaching how to use hacks and showing them in action to help newcomers of the community get on board with surround configurations.

Also I think this will help spread the attention and praise well deserved by our community members that dedicate there time and efforts into fixing these games for everybody's enjoyment.

It's Dead Space plus blunt weapons in post-apopoland (that's post-apocalyptic Poland, BTW). And there's a demo, too !

How to encode/convert movies & videos perfectly for the HP Touchpad (and other tablets)

Submitted by ViciousXUSMC on 19 December, 2011 - 21:49

I felt this may be information important enough to share in one of my blog posts. I just got a HP Touchpad last week with the recent "fire sale" and so did thousands of other people (they sold out almost instantly and nearly crashed ebay) one of my #1 goals for uses of my touchpad is a great portable media device. I want movies on here so that I can entertain the kids at a restaurant while waiting for the food ,or to kill time while waiting at an airport are just a few examples.

The thing is the HP touchpad has a pretty (very) limited support for the type of movie it will play. It takes some serious geek knowledge to get it right and so today I share some of that know how with you since I was unable to find any suitable tutorial online on how to convert your movies for proper playback on this device.

X3: Albion Prelude (Triple Monitors / Eyefinity / Surround) [~4K]

Submitted by Anonymous on 18 December, 2011 - 21:12

X3: Albion Prelude is an stand alone add-on for Terran Conflict, and is designed to explain the changes in the X-Universe between X3:TC and X-Rebirth when it comes out next year, the game uses the same engine as Terran Conflict, so its horizontal plus with correctly scaled HUD but the interface does span all 3 screens. Once again if your monitors width is larger than 1920 pixels and you have lots of bandwidth, set the quality to original and play the video in full screen for a much higher quality.

FlatOut 3: Chaos & Destruction

Submitted by Anonymous on 15 December, 2011 - 13:51

Guess what, this game has very little in common with the ones it wants to pass as a sequel of.
Chaos & Destruction is an arcadey racing game with minimalistic physics and where nitrous is not only used to overtake and ram opponents, it also heals your car. Tapping the additional invulnerability reserve will also prove useful to survive close encounters at 200 mph. The game features numerous vehicle classes, environments and game modes including silly "ragdoll olympics"-style challenges and 16-player MP.
