[citation][nom]cangelini[/nom]Just an FYI guys, The Last Remnant was added to the benchmark suite after we received enough reader feedback asking for it--same with GTA 4. You'll likely see the suite vary from time to time based on the email and comments we're getting, but it certainly has nothing to do with the hardware being tested. And kudos to whoever it was that said TLR shouldn't be pulled just because ATI doesn't perform well in it. If anything, fans of the game should be clamoring for better driver support in it from ATI![/citation]
Still doesn't explain why DX10.1 was omitted in Hawx, and it doesn't garner the 'clamor to nVidia' comment, when the performance difference is there, as seen by other sites;

Seems for balance you should tell Tino to do his next review WITH DX10.1 enabled, because people here have been asking for it long before they asked for Remnant to be added instead of Crysis.
Also,
Enough with the delayed article dumping! It was bad before with old drivers, and getting worse! I'm sick of seeing EURO reviews that are posted here 3 weeks after being posted in Europe (May 29 in this case) when they already took 3+ weeks to test/write/vet/edit, etc. where even there they were getting criticism for being late.

IMO, either get it translated & up on the N.American site within 48 hours (plus your benefit of the time delay across the Atlantic) or else don't bother posting it
, it reflects poorly on THG as being behind the times.
This is an article which could easily have been done by one of the North American review team, and based on the results, likely done better too, especially since it's about PRICES which should reflect the local market being shown the article.
Compared to other N.American news sources THG is becoming as timely as a magazine (all mine I canceled subscriptions to because they were 3-6 months out of date) with almost as long lead times as someone who has to set up a printer and then distribute hard copies via train/plane/automobile, what is going on with THG !?!
I see no reason THG can't get the articles out as fast as their competition, heck Russian sites get their reviews translated and to market faster than THG!
