Browser Games also known as web based, or online flash, java, or shockwave games. Browser based games have evolved from simple reincarnations of collapse, or breakout, to much more interesting games. Some browser based games are using Open GL to create rich 3d environments. One of the earliest examples of this was Alien X ( http://www.gamertech.com/node/150 ) Presented by shockwave.com this was a big leap and a treat to browser based game fans. Since Alien X there have been many equally impressive 3d games. For racing game fans there was Lego supersonic RC ( http://www.gamertech.com/node/70 ) or Rich Racer ( http://www.gamertech.com/node/148 ). And for Real Time Strategy fans came a great multiplayer game called Quantum Legacy ( http://www.gamertech.com/node/141 ). For fans of first person shooters there are newer games that take big steps beyond what Alien X was capable of. Phosphor for example, while still in its beta stages, has much more clean looking graphics and also has the capability of multiplayer online play. While all the games in this list are quite impressive the most successful game would have to be Runescape ( http://www.gamertech.com/node/18 ). Runescape is a massively multiplayer online RPG game where users try to earn money and complete quests in an online world. The game has become incredibly popular there are many sites devoted to the buying selling and trading of items within the game world.

In my opinion it’s down right despicable what Asus did with this video card. They labeled it a "6800 GT" But the performance is not nearly on par with other 6800 GT cards. Asus used slower memory in their V9999 GT card than other Nvidia 6800 GT cards and therefore crippled the performance most likely in order to save a few bucks making the card. The card as far as I can see is not labeled as Light, MX, or anything else that might indicate hindered performance. So basically Asus created this card to prey on consumers who were expecting the performance of a 6800 GT. I am one such angry consumer, and I’ve created this article to spread the word because I believe when businesses wrong their customers word of mouth is the best way to get back at them.
