Gamasutra is carrying a story that Nvidia seems to think the ATI/AMD merger/acquisition is a sign that ATI has thrown in the towel. I don’t know if I believe that, but the article paints an interesting picture of the future of the computing industry as well as the gaming world. Intel’s support for ATI cards is currently unclear as is the longterm support of AMD chipsets by Nvidia. Nvidia seems to see this as a positive move so supporting AMD chipsets should be a no brainer to them.

Prior to launch and even well after it’s launch the DS was touted as gimmicky and had a lack of quality games. I think the numbers speak for themselves as Ars Technica carries the story that they have surpassed the 20 Million unit mark. That many systems in such a short time speaks volumes about the strength of the system that has a breath of fresh air in it’s sales, I mean sails, with the release of the DS Lite recently.
This little system held off the would be powerhouse that is the PSP, whose rep as a gaming system seems to have fallen by the wayside.

I have completely overhauled the search page for both SBG and MT. These new pages are live and tested. Of course, if you run into any bugs you can drop me an email with a description of the problem.

Thanks and happy searching.
I know I’ve been gone for some time, and I typically don’t have the time for news reporting anymore, but I couldn’t pass this one up. I’m a big fan of both AMD and ATI, so I’m quite happy to hear that AMD will be buying out ATI. My PC has an AMD chip as well as an ATI video card in it, and I’ve been very pleased.
I know we all have out favorites, and some of you prefer Intel and/or Nvidia, but for gaming, I think that AMD and ATI are a nice combination. I’m sure with the likely plans of them being designed to really work well together, we’ll be seeing some excellent performance down the road.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it’ll be a good year before we see any active changes because of this though. Even so… hooray!

Looks like they are going for a more “cyberpunk” look and feel this time around. I’m not sure I like it as much, espescially since the spy seems to use his little arm computer in places where he would have shot things before.
Still, I never was a big Splinter Cell guy, so I’m not sure my opinion matters here. It definitely looks like it plays in a similar way. Gotta love the new explosive flying drone.
