Nvidia ready to convert all PC games to 3D

Geared up to enable all PC games with a 3D vision, Nvidia is ready to rock the gamers worldwide courtesy a new 3D graphics card. Owing to this card, any PC could run a game in normal mode or in 3D. The gamers will need a pair of 3D glasses to enjoy the 3D gaming experience. The software driver would allow a three-dimensional left and a right eye view at the push of a button. It’s not at all pivotal that all the games have to be 3D; it’s just an option. Another peculiarity allows freedom to the game developers to carve the games as they like them to. The major hurdle Nvidia faces is to make the glasses extensively available at retail and providing them an upright look. Nvidia is throwing in some very serious attempt to curb these obstacles. As of now, we are here with no word on pricing or tentative date of release.

Piracy destroying PC gaming says Crytek

Videogame piracy reached an epidemic level long-time back but since the likes of PS consoles weren’t as popular as PC games, the manufacturers continued to develop products. The stance has changed from thereon and now the PC game developers choose the games to be released very carefully. For one, there is a lot of competition and two, piracy is a major killer of the profit share. The plight of Crytek with relevance to the Crysis, which is the worst affected by the piracy margin is a good example. Crytek president Cevat Terli in a recent interview quipped:

We are suffering currently from the huge piracy that is encompassing Crysis. We seem to lead the charts in piracy by a large margin, a chart leading that is not desirable. I believe that’s the core problem of PC Gaming, piracy. To the degree PC Gamers that pirate games inherently destroy the platform. Similar games on consoles sell factors of 4-5 more. It was a big lesson for us and I believe we wont have PC exclusives as we did with Crysis in future. We are going to support PC, but not exclusive anymore.

Racing Simulator: Flying past the gaming consoles with reality galore!

So we bring to you a racing simulator that is probably the best in the world today and could prove to be the training ground for that future Shume or even Senna.

Is a Cigar Box Guitar better than Guitar Hero?

So is this a question that all you Guitar Hero fans on X-Box would like to answer? I suppose not. But the Cigar Box Guitar is really something cool and something that is a lot better than the one on X-Box. This is also regarding the fact that X-Box 360 is a lot less appealing that the Wii and it is losing out rapidly. If it really does not do something quick enough then it might end up again being at the back of the gaming console fights.
