About this siteFor six years, the Internet Nexus served as my technology blog, but I've since started blogging at the SuperSite Blog instead. If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul Monday, June 07, 2004Gaming gets a whirl on laptopsKansas.com: "I staged a shootout between a couple of gamer laptops, a fully loaded one from Dell and a lighter model from eMachines. Other companies selling gaming laptops include Alienware, VoodooPC and Falcon Northwest. I put them to the test with 'Far Cry,' a stunningly beautiful first-person shooter game for the PC that takes a ton of graphics power to operate. I also used the graphics benchmark from 3Dmark to get a broader picture of how well they can run graphics ... I asked Apple if they would send along some games for review on a 17-inch PowerBook, but they declined to participate. Could it have something to do with the fact that there still aren't enough contemporary games available for the Mac?"Far Cry is the most visually impresive and immersive gaming experience I've ever had, and is probably an excellent way to measure the graphics throughput of video cards and PCs in general. Trying to run this game on a laptop is an effort in futility, but it'd be interesting to see how this game stacked up on a G5, assuming of course that the game is ever ported to the Mac.
