![]() ![]() With a huge variety of upgrades, magical attacks, and bad guys to conquer, this is a fun game with better than good (but not quite great) graphics. The game play is extremely fast and furious. This is a cool RPG/action first person shooter mash-up. The graphics are Serious Sam-ish, but this is a puzzle game requiring problem-solving skills and not shoot-bad-guys-in-the-face skills. ![]() I had to use windowed mode to get it to run on all screens, but performance is great even with everything maxed out. A first person puzzler with nice graphics. It’s also apparently really dark, which I did not realize until I uploaded that screenshot. ![]() I have not quite figured that part out yet, my strategy of mashing the keys randomly has not paid off. Not only must you jump, slide, and turn to stay alive, you also have to fight enemies occasionally. !infinity-runner/c1g7s A runner style game with a sci-fi style and a twist. And you really don’t have to look out for him since he screams at the top of his lungs from the moment he spawns to the moment he gives you a big hug. Be on the lookout for the guy in the screenshot, he may look like just a normal suicidal cyborg enemy whose hands were replaced with active bombs who runs directly toward you with all his buddies until close enough to detonate himself but … well actually that’s exactly what he is. It’s just good old shoot-anything-that-4moves fun. An older title but one that provides mind numbing waves of enemies to shred. The graphics are decent, it runs very smoothly, and it “just works” on all 3 screens without extra effort. It’s a 3D spaceship flying game with easy controls and some pretty cool dog fighting type scenarios. This is another game I have not spent a lot of time playing. Game play can be a bit redundant, but it’s an odd title that is still being developed and worth a look. I’m confidant it’s unlike anything else you may have played. It’s a fun sort of top down action game in which you use dark magic to conquer your enemies and consume their blood to increase your power. This screenshot doesn’t really do this game justice. Works perfectly across 3 screens without any tweaking. It’s sort of turn based tactical game from what I have gleaned so far. Honestly I have only played this game for a few minutes, but I have read really good things about it, and look forward to checking it out more. You can see how adept I am at this game in the screenshot as I calmly plow down the wrong lane of a road at 60 KPH into an oncoming semi. Just trying to keep the truck on the road is a challenge, never mind trying to back up to a loading dock. Surprisingly this game is actually a lot more fun than it sounds. Who hasn’t dreamed of one day driving an 18 wheeler across Europe? Not me. I may have to dig into the configuration manually to see what I can do to improve performance over what the in-game options provide. The graphics are amazing, so much so that I have to turn all the knobs to low in order for it to be playable – and even then the frame-rate is barely passable. This game is a very cool first person zombie shooter parkour adventure thing. Hopefully things will continue to improve since it’s a good-looking first person adventure game. This game has incredible graphics, but it’s been hard to progress very far because of frequent lock ups and crashes. Performance would be better with real full screen support, but with a single Nvidia 980GTX the game plays pretty smoothly with high (but not ultra high) settings. It won’t run full screen at this resolution, but it does support a “windowed full screen mode” that is part full screen, part windowed, and works great across 3 screens. The story line is engrossing, and weird as heck. This is my first Bioshock title and I’m impressed. It basically works flawlessly across 3 screens, the only annoyance being textures sometimes are slow to update if you pan around really fast. Civ 5 is all that Alpha Centauri was and so much more. I still have a Windows XP VM just for playing it floating around somewhere. Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri is one of my all time favorites. This is a follow-up to my original post on the topic, and includes an additional 12 games you might find interesting. Lately Steam has been releasing games for Linux like crazy, and quite a few work with this setup. It’s a weird hobby I know, and until the last few years a pretty unproductive one as well. When I’m not working, I like to put all those extra pixels to use by tweaking games on Linux to run at a 5760×1080 resolution across 3 displays. One of the many things I learned from that experience is that you can’t get any work done if you don’t have at least 3 monitors on your desk. My affinity for using multiple monitors started when I was working in finance as a software developer. ![]()
