News::Live-action 'Tetris' film secures $80 million

The fact that filmmakers have their hearts set on bringing a movie based on Tetris to live isn't news. The fact that Threshold Entertainment has secured $80 million in funding for a hypothetical Tetris movie is. That's a lot of money, and a lot of questions, like "Why Tetris?"

News::NVIDIA's Ansel game camera placed me in 'The Witcher 3' with VR

Geralt of Rivia, the grizzled silver-haired hero of The Witcher 3, was in front of me, sitting atop his trusty steed. Around me, the remnants of a bloody battle. Trees dotted the clearing I was standing in. I looked to the sun and squinted out of habit. I wasn't just playing The Witcher 3, I was inside it, thanks to the HTC Vive headset I was wearing and a 360 degree screenshot taken by NVIDIA's Ansel in-game camera. I was looking at the game like never before, which is notable since I've already spent more than 50 hours playing it.

News::​NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 1080 is a PC gamer's dream

It's never been a better time to be a PC gamer. Hardware is getting both cheaper and more powerful, most big-budget console games are making it to PCs (where they also look better), and the rise of virtual reality offers a tempting upgrade target. NVIDIA, one of the pioneering graphics card designers, is taking full advantage of this revitalized PC gaming market with the GeForce GTX 1080, its latest powerhouse GPU. It's the first consumer card built on the company's Pascal architecture, and most intriguingly, NVIDIA claims the $599 video card ($699 for the special "Founder's Edition") is faster than the Titan X, which goes for upwards of $1,000. After testing it out over the past week, I can say the 1080 is clearly something special.
