nVidia has been making many advances in General Purpose Graphics Processing Unit (GPGPU) computing. While this is great news for the PC owner with an nVidia-powered Graphics Card, it is also great news for the PS3 owner. One of the major areas that nVidia is pushing with its GPGPU is Physics processing, with its recently-purchased Ageia subsidiary, makers of the PhysX engine, which is also used within many PS3 games. This is great news for PS3 gamers, as it should lead to more involved physics in games as developers use and stretch the capabilities of consoles and PC’s alike.

Any game where the main character’s primary weapon is a toilet plunger definitely has potential. The good news is that Monster Madness Grave Danger from SouthPeak games does not disappoint. My PS3 has been burning a hole in the disk the past couple of weeks and I would rather not admit how much time I’ve spent playing it.

There has been quite a bit of press about the Activision / Blizzard merger, and the resulting limbo of various major titles, including two that really do deserve to be saved: Brutal Legend and Ghostbusters.
If you’ve managed to dodge the media on these titles so far, Brutal Legend features various legends of rock (Jack Black, Lemmy Kilmister, Rob Halford, Ronnie James Dio) in a heavy-metal-inspired action-adventure… Ghostbusters doesn’t really need introduction, and brings back the quartet from the films (plus you, the gamer), is written by the same comedic team and features the same great smack-talking, ghost-busting, witty backtalk as the films.
By all accounts, both games are almost complete (Ghostbusters was on for a Holiday ‘08 release, Brutal Legend for Q4/08, Q1/09.
So - why should Activision / Blizzard have kept hold of Brutal Legend and Ghostbusters? Let’s look a the first one, and at the talent behind it, Tim Schafer.

On a pretty regular basis, GameStop produces a coupon that lets you get PS3 (and PS2, PSP) used games for 25% off. They usually have a very good selection of used games (it’s where I buy most of mine) and with this coupon, the prices are even better. The coupon expires August 28th so use it before next Saturday. Enjoy!
