Yes. There is another great action game that you cannot miss ~ Batman Arkham Asylum. The game play and graphics are awesome. Even better than Resident Evil 5 in game play but I prefer Resident Evil 5 movie. Too bad that Nvidia marketing tactics disabled the MSAA setting for all the ATI 3D cards. I cannot turn on 4XAA in Batman Arkham Asylum with ATI Radeon HD 4870. Anyway, I don’t notice much on it during game play. So who care? Batman Arkham Asylum is still a great game.

As usual, Microsoft makes this game work only with its XBOX 360 controller. So if you don’t have XBOX 360 controller, be sure to download XBOX 360 controller emulator to play Batman Arkham Asylum with your own gamepad.

Help… My Panasonic TX-32LX75M TV HDMI cannot work with PC. The story goes like this… I bought a HDMI cable from Carrefour last month. It was a value HDMI cable. I tried to connect my girl friend notebook BenQ Joybook S42 to the TV with this new cable. However, I failed to get a clear picture on my Panasonic TV. It does not have problem to display at 1366×768 resolution while using PC Mini D-sub 15-pin cable. I have a clear picture. However, it failed when using HDMI cable. By the way, the BenQ Joybook S42 laptop is using Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT display card. I tried different resolutions but still failed. And I don’t believe that Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT is causing the issue. Therefore, I brought my new desktop to the living room to test. I used Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4870 to test. But the result is same ~ blur text and not sharp at all.

Did have a faulty HDMI cable? Well, I asked my friend to test it for me. And it is working on his TV. So it is not Carrefour value HDMI cable issue…
