[quote]I posted about this issue on PCZone's technical site under the bioshock thread...

Page 3 near the bottom. Their reviewer replied with a very interesting point, namely
"This wasn't mentioned in the PC Zone review because we didn't know about it. We didn't know about it because we played through the entire game in widescreen without noticing anything wrong, or feeling that the screen was cramped in any way. It's just not an issue. Although if I owned Widescreen Gaming Forum, I'd probably take it upon myself to be outraged."
"Would you have picked up on this had you not read about it on Kotaku? I doubt it."
My reply....
Er wrong... I was at the WSGF that broke this tidbit before it even hit that site.. In fact that site nicked our pic from our thread on that forum the same as several other sites are doing including shacknews
http://www.shacknews.com/
about fourth article down now... And anyway since when do hardware concerns not get reflected in a review? Just because it's a monitor issue shouldn't relegate it to the 'not interested' bucket should it?
And so it continues on that site
Wow that guy is a dick.
Yeah we wait for Kotaku to tell us about widescreen implementation. Oh yeah... we are outraged so Ibrin can make money...
God... what a condescending prick.
Wow. Reading forums like that make me thankful for the WSGF. They are all pretty much clueless when it comes to widescreen gaming. It just sounds like a bunch of l33t speak teenagers.
True - I find the total lack of concern and understanding for this issue a bit crap when it's a much more important issue than AA supprt (for instace) for many gamers.
My respect for PC Zone UK has gone down significantly - although to be honest their techincal section has always been a bit of a joke.
