My SCEPTRE 22" Widescreen LCD Monitors have arrived and man, do they look awesome side-by-side. I now have a total desktop space of 3360x1050. There is absolutely no noticeable video delay when playing games or moving windows. Even though the screen size is much bigger than my former 19" CRT's, I find I have so much more space on my desk now. HD movies run in full-screen without the black bars, too! Yep, definitely worth the money.

Big Huge Games (developers behind Rise of Nations & Rise of Legends) has announced an upcoming XBox Live! Arcade game to be released later this year, entitled "Catan" based on the board game, "Settlers of Catan." A snippet of the press release follows:

Only one month old, the already immensely popular online role-playing game is raising the bar for online gaming.

"We have been discussing this for some time now, and we decided that we couldn't reward our players any better than with a Microsoft X-Box. We're also hoping that this new promotion will bring more players to our rapidly growing community."

With over 5,000 players after just the first month of release, it is no wonder why Samurai War is so confident in their decision.

An anonymous user asks, "I was wondering if Metal Gear Solid 2 is going to come out for the x-box?"

While MGS2 won't be an X-Box title, Konami announced plans for an MGS title exclusively for the X-Box called Metal Gear Solid: X in September 2001. You can read more at xboxweb.com.
