A 9400M graphics card? This is gonna be one weak gaming system.

Granted though, it could probably run most console ports at the same level as consoles or higher.

Maybe the ones made by Valve and possibly DMC4, but most other PC versions of console games are poorly optimized and would need much stronger hardware.

Acer will soon be introducing the AspireRevo, a small form factor PC capable of HDTV decoding and PC gaming -- at a starting price point of $299.

The AspireRevo is based on the Nvidia ION graphics chip platform and the Intel ATOM 230/330 processor. Nvidia's ION platform is based upon the GeForce series 9400M G graphics chipset -- a low-cost, low-power GPU capable of HD video decoding and DirectX 10-compatible PC gaming graphics power.

NVidia's ION enables the AspireRevo play 1080p HD movies, play DirectX 10 games, and run Windows Vista Premium with all 3D capabilities. It's small, sleek, space-saving, and can be used as a fully functional home office PC or as a living room PC for casual gaming on your television.

Besides being equipped with the Intel® Atom 230 processor and NVIDIA® ION GPU, the AspireRevo comes with a choice of a Serial ATA Hard Drive or Solid State Drive and up to 4GB of DDR2 memory. A Mini PCI Express slot offers the possibility of expanding memory capacity to make space for continuously growing multimedia files.


No thx, this idea is worse than OnLive.

MMO's play fine wothout keyboards and mice

Can you guys list me pros and cons so I don't have to?

Thanks in return : )

I see Red Faction for PS2 : D

Graphics don't make a game, but I'm buying the PC version and saving for when I get ubber hardware to have the best experience.

I own a refrigerator.

DLC, its at least official content.

Rarely will PC mods even be worth trying out and even rarer will Indie games be worth demo-ing.

Shumps = casual? Wow, you have a very high posting level but obviously you weren't talking about games. You have a lot to learn, my friend...

not really. You just have limited view of the shump genre. It is the most casual action genre, most arcade shumps were the very definition of casual gaming. Later on some shumps added more difficulty, but taking those few and somehow judging the whole genre based on them is pretty silly. Simulators are far more hardcore in every way. You just obviously never played a simulator in your life.

I'm sure Adrian was just messing with us.

Shumps are very difficult, they're very hard even if you memorize attack patterns.

Simulators on the other hand, are what they sound like. No gameplay what-so-ever.
