Why the nVidia GPGPU is Good News for PS3 Owners

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.

Why Did Brutal Legend and Ghostbusters Get Canned?

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.
