Chrono-Review: Borderlands DLC – Dr. Ned’s Zombie Island
Having finally bought all the Borderlands DLCs off Steam I thought I'd give them a spin, then review them after finishing or getting stuck.
Chrono-Review: Defense Grid: The Awakening
In the quest for a game that I could enjoy in-between watching my EVE Online sell/buy orders and doing work I came upon Defence Grid: The Awakening which so happened to be 50% off on Steam at the time of writing this.
As one can probably gleam from the title it's a defence game more specificly a highly addictive Tower Defence game.
The premise is simple: to defend a group of power cores from aliens of varying types that run the gauntlet through your barrier of towers in waves, these waves get harder and more numerous as the game progresses.
Call of Duty: World at War Triple Monitors on SoftTH in Windows 7
The last time I attempted to run this game with SoftTH it didn't display as planned.
After a bit of reading I found Widescreen Fixer that fixes the field of view (FOV) of the game to suit the resolution being used in this case 5040x1050.
I used SoftTH 1.09a which worked a treat, grab my config file here remember to modify to your desired resolution, and change the extension to ".cfg".
Here's the video of the game in action played on regular on the first level since it was the easiest to fit into the 10 min limit on Youtube, eye candy was set to high with x2 AA.
Surprisingly Call of Duty scales very well.
Preview: Battlefield: Bad Company 2
To those keyboard commandos out there who have been in retirement since Battlefield 2 or have boycotted Modern Warefare 2.
It's time to strap on your combat boots, clean off the dust from your defibrillator and jump into EA's latest incarnation of the Battlefield series: Bad Company 2 (at least the Beta anyway).
Left 4 Dead 2 in Triple Monitor Glory
So I finally bothered to put my far left monitor to its horizontal position to give Left 4 Dead 2 a spin in triple screen mode.
I used the same settings I used in my previous experiment with the original Left 4 Dead.
I've noticed that the game does not keep the screen size settings when you close it so you must set the resolution and screen mode to "Fullscreen" each time.
This is either because the game isn't writing the config or I did something wrong but it seems to work okay, I don't guarantee that my settings will work 100% with your own setups so a bit of tweaking on your part might be necessary.
First HD youtube upload so enjoy!
I might still be still processing as of this post but should be all good in a few hours time.
