This edition has a record number of games featured – over 30 in total – which is testament to the enduring success of the “NVIDIA®: The Way It’s Meant To Be Played™”(TWIMTBP) programme. This campaign is designed to benefit both developers and publishers, as well as games players. By giving developers access to NVIDIA’s hardware, and with NVIDIA’s developer technology engineers on hand throughout the entire coding process, programmers can get the very best graphics and effects into their latest games.  \nThen, our intensive testing for compatibility, stability and reliability means that the consumer can buy a PC game with the TWIMTBP logo on the box, confident that the game will deliver the ultimate ‘install-and-play’experience – so long as you have your NVIDIA GeForce graphicsbased card installed, of course.  \nNew games with TWIMTBP accreditation are coming out all the time – this magazine endeavours to keep track of the major new releases. In this issue, as well as a bumper crop of games, we’ve also included our first news page, with all the latest from NVIDIA, and a feature on NVIDIA’s amazing SLI technology – upgrade your PC at a stroke by fitting a second graphics card…  \nI hope you enjoy the magazine, and if there’s anything you think should be incorporated into our pages, please do let me know.  \nDarryl Still  \nHead of developer relations, EMEA  \nNVIDIA  \ndsti[ll@nvidia.com](ll@nvidia.com)  \nContents  \nNVIDIA news  \n3 Gizmondo, GeForce 6200, SLI  \nTWIMTBP games  \n4 The Lord Of The Rings:  \nThe Battle For Middle-earth  \n6 Colin McRae Rally 2005 Vivisector: Beast Inside  \n7 The Saga Of Ryzom Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines  \n10 Painkiller: Battle Out Of Hell Dungeon Lords  \n11 S.T.A.
