So just the other day I noticed a game on Filefront (which is where you should always go FIRST for gaming downloads, no gamestop or fileshack crap). Warmonger is it's name.

From a video I watched, it looked OK, and since it's free, I might as well try it.

Turns out it's another Cell Factor. Upon loading, the game reminds you that it is best experienced with a Physx card. What it doesn't tell you, is that you can't actually play it without a Phsyx card.

I even lowered my Res to 640x480, and all settings to the lowest possible, and I managed ot crash to game by firing a rocket into a building. I'm assuming that the building would have collapsed had I spent $200 on a useless card.

Did Agiea really think this would catch on? CPU's can handle physics calculations just fine.
