Man alive, how great would it be to be rich? You could afford crazy things like, I don’t know, new shoes, healthy food, and six 20-inch monitors to play Modern Warfare 2 with. That’s the dream. So as you can see, the game scales quite well across all six screens—the only “glitch” occurs when text gets cut off at the bezel of the TV. ATI’s Eyefinity technology makes this magic possible. The 5800 series of cards (and up, presumably) allow you to span compatible games across several screens. It’s not something you’re going to find at a Best Buy demo area or whatever, so people were freaking out while they passed by. Pretty neat, I thought.

You’ll find no one here who’s not down for a round or two (or 10) of Street Fighter . No one! In fact, I’m half-convinced that that’s Greg under that helmet. There’s a room set aside here at PAX for free play, where you can take a load off and try your hand at Heavy Rain , Bayonetta , New Super Mario Bros. Wii , and, of course, Street Fighter IV . I can guarantee that even ol’ Blockhead here would destroy me in the game.

After news of the HD and XL iPad versions of some of our favorite games are on their way – Flight Control being one of my personal obsessions – we thought it would be fun to ponder what other boardgames would make for a fun iPad experience. Here’s our list. What would you guys like to see? Carcassonne – If you’ve never split a few bottles of wine (or tequila ) and played Carcassonne , you haven’t lived. To be able to play this with a few people on the iPad would be amazing and you wouldn’t have to carry all those cards around. The game is pretty simple – you put down random cards to build cities, roads, and farms. You place a knight on a card to claim it and get the knight back when you’ve completed a feature. However, it’s amazingly addictive and an iPad version would be great. Sim City – This game is already out on the iPhone but a version on a larger, more readable screen would be great. Civilization V – While I could spend most of my life playing Civ Rev on the iPhone, why not go nuts and rebuild Civ V for the iPad? I would totally pay a few dozen dollars for this. Burnout iPad Edition – My son and I have been playing Burnout Paradise like fiends lately and a big-screen, motion aware version of Burnout would make us both happy. Monopoly – This next set of games are boardgame classics. First up – Monopoly . It’s a no brainer. Connect 4 – There are only knock off versions of Connect 4 on the App Store right now, but a big screen version would be great. Battleship – The current version if iPhone Battleship looks great but why not buy two iPads so you can recreate Battleship in all it’s “You sunk my…” glory? Then again, maybe not. Air Hockey – This is totes magotes one of my favorites. The iPhone version is great for two players and an iPad version would be even better. Incredible Machine – Remember this insanity? The Incredible Machine was a 1990s Rube Goldberg video game dedicated to teaching kids how to make things work together. I haven’t played it in years but a 3D, Enigmo-esque version would be great. Planetfall – One of the original Infocom classics . Listen: the iPad has a usable keyboard and can support external keyboards. Why not slap together an Infocom pack for $2 and sell some imagination to these whippersnappers. Who’s with me?

Remember the rash of celebrity deaths last year? Well this one just affected me more than all of those combined. The voice actor who played Dr. Wallace Breen , of Half-Life 2 fame, has passed away . Sad news is sad. Robert Culp died after falling in an unnamed Los Angeles park. He was 79. He did other stuff besides utterly creeping you out as you fought your way across City 17. Did you know he co-starred, alongside Bill Cosby, on a TV show in the 1960s called “I Spy”? I certainly didn’t know that. He also played Ray Romano’s father-in-law in “Everybody Loves Raymond.” But to us gamers, yes, he will forever be known as Dr. Breen, the Earth Administrator who tried convincing us of the futility of resisting the Combine. Y’all might want to check out Edge magazine this month, since there’s a pretty great feature talking to Valve on how they made Half-Life 2 so damn good. I’ve actually replaying through the game of late—pretty crazy that a five-year-old FPS has never been topped.
