| Customer Reviews: Interesting material you don't get anywhere else August 27, 2009 B Bock (Santa Clara, CA) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Wide coverage of technology, entertainment, and games. It's remarkable how much computing is changing and changing our lives. The first issue had stories on how researchers are using basically the same popular Graphics Processors (GPU's) in gaming PC's are being used for heavy scientific research, better mammography, and making home videos look better. It also covered how PC's are being used to make the Emmy Award winning kids' TV show, "Sid the Science Kid." Looking forward to issue 2.
Must Buy August 22, 2009 R. Butler (Washington D.C. USA) 1 out of 6 found this review helpful
I believe this is a must buy for the simple truth that the info you get from it is current, relevant, and interesting. Also there is a whole lot fewer ads than any other mag i have read.
pretty good magazine January 23, 2010 D. Ross I really enjoy this magazine as it is very techno diverse. Video game previews, Animated movie discussions, gadgets, software reviews, etc. It is nice having one magazine that goes over top products in different areas. Really consolidates a couple of magazines for me. The main focus of the magazine is about visuals. It will discuss a video game coming out explaining what it is about, but spend most of the time talking about the graphics and how they were able to create it. Same thing with movies. For those that like to get the best visual experience, this is a great magazine. Only negative comment I have is that it isn't as funny as I would expect from a magazine that discusses video games.
Not sure I see the point September 12, 2009 gamer geek (Minneapolis, MN USA) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
The magazine is all about graphics quality in movies and games and the like. It's not really technical enough for high-end knowledgable industry types, and it's not really broad enough for a casual audience.
Frankly, the magazine is kind of boring, and I get the feeling flipping through it that they are really struggling to find enough quality ideas to make the issue go each time. Having said that, there's only been 2 issues and perhaps it will find its legs. I likely will not renew.
Late Nvidia Advertisement of a Magazine June 2, 2010 BEFore (western USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Issues arrive toward the end of their shelf life meaning you get articles about "upcoming" movies, games, and technology that were released months ago.
Pretty much every article is a blatant advertisement for Nvidia products (not a huge surprise there, just pointing it out).
As a QUARTERLY magazine, it's as expensive as many MONTHLY magazines.
There are some interesting articles, but a lot of fluff pieces too. Not worth the price.
