It’s showtime in the video-game industry again. Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony are getting ready to unveil their next-generation consoles, the machines that will be at the heart of their strategies for years to come. Nintendo made the first play, with the release this past November of the Wii U, its first system to support high-definition graphics as well as a touch-pad controller. Microsoft has yet to announce the successor to its popular Xbox 360, though a new console—rumored to be called the Xbox 720—is expected this year.

“I thoroughly enjoy retro-style games and with that, Magic Orbz modernises the classic brick breaking formula and it has held up beautifully.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.

Im old school... when i hear the term SLI, I immediately think of 3dfx. I still have a pair of 12mb Monster V2's in an old rig. I never tried out the more modern take on SLI or Crossfire for that matter.
I mean, it was mostly for bragging rights. It was a very temperamental tech that improved with newer iterations, for sure. But folks like myself, who have used it, probably recall that troubleshooting was an integral part of the experience and the value that you got out of the setup was really low.
However, none of that mattered because it looked sick as hell on a well-built PC.
I remember doing my research at the time 😂 I got 2 GTX 460's, as they in SLI were meant to be better than the 480 at the time. Not all games were optimised at the time, which meant some games meant setting them up for 1 card alone. Never forget the time I came home from night shift, turned on my computer like normal, went and made a cuppa, come back and it was still off. Tried to turn on again, and one of the 460's caught fire... good times.
Wiiu and PS4 4lyfe .....
There is ZERO evidence for the kind of speculation that the above title is trying to indicate.
dazzle is video games, social is facebook. I bought the system for video games.
Or, Gee, how about more of both...there's an idea.
Sick of this social/always connected/compete against others 24/7 stuff, single player games suffer due to companies wanting to milk online and I can see the next gen becoming a massive free to play, money milking, dlc fest with facebook/twitter/100 other ways to show the world how big your balls are and the sad thing is the little sheep will flock to it the same way they buy the new iPhone etc.
What happened to just making great games? Sure have multiplayer but don't make it your main focus, divide your time equally and innovate with good stories, great audio, great visuals, solid gameplay, better ai etc.
Thank goodness some developers out there still love gaming and are not all scammers like the war z devs who just want all your money and to take advantage of the simpletons.
