A free space-sim based on a Freespace 2 conversion? :shock: Uh... Uh... Awesomesauce!

Wanted: Wireless gaming mouse. You'd think if we could send a man into space we'd be able to get a wireless mouse that tracks well enough for gaming. In the meantime, the VX Revolution gets me by. Mostly.

Does it really matter? For the average person an AMD is going to run all of the programs they need anyway. If AMD can hammer at Intel's budget and mainstream market share the way it has servers, having the fastest may not matter as long as it's fast enough.

Is it just me, or is there virtually no difference between 3, 4, and 5 in most of those images? :?

From these images the Mario character model and treatment looks exactly the same. The environments, however, are much improved, particularly the space image. Unfortunately, the writing for this feature was not the highest quality I have seen on the site, and bears improvement.[QUOTE="Joe Dodson"]Sunshine's disembodied space levels provided the seeds for what would grow into an awesome new game[/QUOTE]That sentence can only be described as the most awesomest ever.

The art designers for Super Mario Galaxy obviously put a lot of heart and soul into their creation; they deserve better than a gold star.

As always, thank you Gamespot for saving me a lot of time and energy. It seems shaders have the greatest effect on visuals, in my opinion, while I can safely turn down the texture detail.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: these comparisons are one of the best features of Gamespot. Thanks!

This is kind of a neat idea; I wouldn't mind seeing Mario, Sonic, and Master Chief franchise pages.

As usual, an extremely useful companion to game settings from Gamespot. Excellent, and Kudos to the author(s).

Too little, too late IMO. If you're going to release a piece of hardware months after the competition, it should blow it away, not hobble along after it.
