The PC processor and graphics chip maker AMD is in a bit of a pickle. It makes processors that are second to Intel in terms of market share and while its ATI division has been making progress on its biggest rival Nvidia in terms of performance Nvidia’s graphic chips are still the market leader for PC gaming. Now AMD has announced a new marketing program that’s aimed specifically at PC gamers.
The marketing program is called Gaming Evolved and according to AMD’s web site, the program is all about one thing, “Gamers Come First”. The site adds, “We will listen carefully to gamers, create solutions and technologies that closely align to their wants and needs, and fulfill our “Gamers Come First!” mandate to the PC gamers of the world.” The site also says AMD will listen to game developers as well, saying, “We will deliver the technical support and guidance needed to adopt new technologies like Direct X 11, and provide the indispensible business support that game developers need to help make their games a commercial success”.” Big Download plans to contact AMD to get more concrete info on what its new Gaming Evolved program will mean to the PC games industry.

Over 45,000 people have participated in the Human Avatar project sponsored by All Points Bulletin developer Realtime Worlds. The project has allowed folks to vote on the real-life transformation of a Londoner from rather Ordinary Joe to Enforcer. The final stage will be the creation of the avatar and its inclusion into the game.
…with a new service called Everquest II Extended – a free-to-play version that will run alongside their subscription servers.
Extended is not a replacement to the live subscription service and while the game content is the same, access and restrictions are different between the two. Extended is a gameplay option targeted towards certain players who are willing to play within a limited feature-set service with additional content purchase and upgrade options, rather than pay for the full service via a standard monthly subscription. The live $15 EQII subscription service is unrestricted full access to the game world for those accounts in good standing, a valuable service, just as it has always been. The EverQuest II Extended service has restrictions based on your membership level. Limited access to the EQII Extended world and certain content is free, while other content, access, and items are available only for purchase.
Definitely seems to be a bandwagon effect happening.
