After reading your two link, the first one comes with nothing and the second one add:
- StarTrek Amarda II
- StarWarsGalaxies
- Serious Sam - The Second Encounter
- Sub Command
Which are all pretty old games. Serious Sam could be cool though if I buy a gamepad and use splitscreen multiplayer to play with my friend on a single computer,... might think about it.
Any others?

The problem with Dual View games is that while a lot of games can be played Dual View.. they just arent made for it. You can play practically any game in Dual View by forcing a spanned view between the two monitors, but if you play a FPS game that means that your crosshair is going to be split right down the middle between the two monitors. Depending on the monitors you are using there can be a small, to very large gap between the active screens of either monitor and it makes it more frustrating than fun. This can be alleviated by using a 3rd monitor so that your crosshair isnt being split between 2 monitors, and then your side monitors function more as peripheral vision. In order to really get any good use out of Dual View where gaming is concerned, you pretty much have to stick to strategy games, or games that are specifically designed for multiple monitor use. I may be stating the obvious here, but I wanted to contribute.

You went way off of the topic. Some games have been made to supoprt it. Not just to span across the screens but to have your main screen on one and you can have a menu on the other or such as a map. I believe they gave a good example somewhere on that toms hardware link. |
