So I had an idea for the [H]ardocp main page and Id like to get other people's opinion on this. So here it is, every time a decent game (something people would want to play) is released [H]ard does a mini review. Now these mini reviews would be nothing like the full blown game reviews we see about once every week on the main page. This would be short, one page tops and wouldn't include any gameplay info such as story line or replayability or anything like that. This would be a simple graph with say the 5 most popular video cards and their maximum playable settings with the game being tested. They could use a relatively standard test system for example 3.0ghz C2D, 2gb ddr2, 680i sli board, dual boot xp & vista. Then have cards from the mainstream,high end, and enthusiast level...for this gen say an 8600gts, HD3850,HD3870,8800gt, and 8800gt sli. Now the idea would be so that the hard reader could estimate how well their system would play this game. As well as shorten the guess work involved in finding your own highest playable settings by giving you a reference point. Now this seems (to me anyway) very achievable with the current PC game release frequency I doubt you would see more than 3 of these a week even in the most busy months. So vote and tell me and the rest of [H]ard what you think.
