Gaming Hardware

Some of you may think that the screenshots i post for the previous games are CGI (computer generated image).Well it's not, all of the screens are rendered in real time.This is what next-gen games are all about.And to be able to play these games u need more than just the standard pc. At least a graphics card that is capable of Direct X 10 and shader model 4.0. To be able to play games under direct x 10, you will need Microsoft Windows Vista as your operating system.

The new mid range card by Nvidia called the 8800GT has already been released and the review about it is great.It has a high end profile without the high end price.

Display capabilities

The GeForce 8 series supports 10-bit per channel display output, up from 8-bit on previous NVIDIA cards. This potentially allows higher fidelity color representation and separation on capable displays. The GeForce 8 series, like its recent predecessors, also supports Scalable Link Interface (SLI) for multi-card rendering.

NVIDIA's PureVideo HD video rendering technology is an improved version of the original PureVideo introduced with GeForce 6. It now includes GPU-based hardware acceleration for decoding HD movie formats, post-processing of HD video for enhanced images, and optional High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) support at the card level.

8800 GT

The 8800 GT, codenamed G92, was released on October 29, 2007. The card is the first to transition to 65nm process, and supports PCI-Express 2.0. It has a single-slot cooler as opposed to the double slot cooler on the 8800 GTS and GTX. The 8800 GT, unlike other 8800 cards, is equipped with the PureVideo 2 engine for GPU assisted decoding of the H.264 and VC-1 codecs. Current performance benchmarks show it to outperform all but the Nvidia GeForce 8800GTX 768MB graphics card - which is just slightly above in performance. Presently, cards utilizing the chip are retailing from USD $269 (reference models) to USD $299 (for overclocked models) MSRP(512MB) in the US, and £165 for reference models and up to £190 for overclocked versions in the UK.

Unreal Tournament 3

Unreal Tournament 3 (UT3) is a first-person shooter video game and the next installment of the Unreal series after Unreal Tournament 2004. It is being developed by Epic Games, to be published by Midway Games in November 2007 for Windows. The Linux installer will be released later as a downloadable installer that works with the Windows disc. The game will be released on the Xbox 360 game console in late 2008. The PlayStation 3 version is likely to be released early in 2008 or in late december if finished.

Unreal Tournament 3 is actually the fourth game in the Unreal Tournament series, but has been numbered in terms of the engine it runs on. The original Unreal Tournament uses the original Unreal Engine, while UT2003 and UT2004 use the Unreal Engine 2; therefore they are considered as the same generation. UT3 is subsequently part of the third generation, because it runs on the Unreal Engine 3, but also due to the fact that this installment includes a single player campaign mode reminiscent of the Unreal and Unreal 2.

Hellgate:London

From the creators of the diablo franchise comes a new game called Hellgate:London, like Supreme Commander u can say that this game(Hellgate:London)is a spiritual successor to Diablo. The game has the same diablo style of gameplay, with a lot of new additions.This time around you could choose to either play in first-person or third person mode,this is possible due to the game being in full 3d.

Game Premise

Hellgate: London takes place in 2038, post-apocalyptic London. London has been invaded by demons from Hell. Up until recently, humans have had many champions looking to hold back the flood. Various real-world events are referenced in the background of the Hellgate story as averted crossover attempts. The Crusades were actually undertaken to fight back the minions of Hell, as was the charring of London in the Great Fire to wipe out the Plague. According to the story line, the famous Knights Templar were the keepers of knowledge on how to battle these demonic forces. Unfortunately, these heroes underwent a charring of their own at the hands of a jealous King Phillip IV, who hated the power they held in the world at large. While the Knights Templar survived as an organization, their numbers were severely diminished and were forced to remain in hiding to stay alive. As time passed and technology progressed, the old ways began to fade from memory and the secrets of the arcane were lost. When the demons attacked again, they found their enemies unprepared. Ordinary weapons were no use against the demons, who could shrug off an RPG round. The Templars offered their special services to the military, but the leaders balked, refusing to believe in the old truths. Hellgate quickly took the victory in the battle for Earth. The Burn, a decades-long process of "hellforming", has begun. However all is not lost, as various groups have been preparing for just such an eventuality. Freemasons built the London Underground to be demon resistant, and as such the stations now act as bases, "safe zones" for would-be defenders. These defenders are armed with a fusion of modern weaponry and arcane magic such as flamethrowers that throw Greek fire or swords covered in locusts. In the game, players get to be one of these defenders.

10 days to Crysis

The most anticipated game of the year is finally arriving this 15th November.The game that will crush even the most powerful pc.In the mean time u could test your pc by downloading the Crysis demo to see if your pc could handle it.

In brief
Crysis is an upcoming science fiction first-person shooter computer game, that is being developed by Crytek, and published by Electronic Arts. It will be released on November 15, 2007 in Australia, and the next day in Europe and North America. Crysis is based in a fictional future where an alien race has invaded Earth. The single player campaign has the player assume the role of United States Delta Force operative Jake Dunn. Dunn is armed with various futuristic weapons and equipment, most notably a "Nano Muscle Suit". According to Crytek senior game designer Bernd Diemer, the suit was inspired by the United States' Future Warrior 2020 program. In Crysis, the player fights both North Korean and extraterrestrial enemies, in four different locations: a tropical island jungle; an American aircraft carrier; inside an "Ice Sphere", which will consist of the same jungle, but frozen; and the alien ship itself, some parts of which will be zero-gravity. Crysis will utilize Microsoft's new API, Direct3D 10 (DirectX 10) for graphics rendering, and will include the same editor that was used by Crytek to create the game.
