Crunch time nears for Ageia Physx

AGEIA IS PUTTING a lot of hope on latest tactical mega-hit from Ubi Soft, a title known as GRAW2. This game was developed by GRIN, developers of Ballistics and first GRAW - so action is guaranteed.

This latest title from a line of Tom Clancy games brings an additional level of reality by incorporating special Physx level called Ageia Island, available only to owners of Physx cards. But this is far from over as far as Phyc support is concerned, since developers implemented Ageia's Physx SDK (Novodex/Meqon), physics engine across the whole game.

Developers promise an additional level of reality in the game, environmental effects, "persistent destruction" and debris. If these effects take off, it may mean that year after its debut, PPU concept is finally starting to pick up, with a dozen titles coming before the end of this year.

The game is now available in shops offline and online. µ
