I must be one of the only people out there using a widescreen monitor.
I keep finding newer games that have no support for it.
Yesterday I was in EB and got a couple of fairly cheap games and
neither of them support widescreen.
SC Double agent. No WS give you short fat spies.

Space Force: A freelancer type space game. No WS gives you short fat
planets. And when you roll the ship the planets distort with your roll
like they're being crushed by the hand of god. (oh the humanity......)

There's a bunch of other games that I'm considering once they get
cheap enough, but I simply can't be bothered to DL all the demos to
see if they support WS. So, I'm going to ask you nice people for the
answers. :^)

BF2142
Tomb Raider Anniversary
Call of Juarez
CSI: 3 dimensions of murder
Guildwars
Battlestations Midway
Stalker.
Ship Simulator 2006
Silent Hunter 4

Yea, it's the same thing with HDTV. You get yourself one them
expensive HDTV's, you pay for HDTV service too and then find that 90%
of the broadcasting is in 4:3 anyway. What a bunch of chumps you all
are for falling for this shit. I had a 26" widescreenHDTV and ended
up getting burn in from playing most games and watching TV at 4:3. I'm
not putting up with the short fat people on the screen as most people
do. Took the POS Viewsonic back to Costco and got a refund and went
back to lovely 4:3 CRT. I am now back to CRT for both TV and computer
use. Bring on the new technology because this LCD shit is just that -
SHIT.
