Misleading Marketing!?

Say it ain't so Joe! And get a load of this, there is not a "NV" in sight. PCPerspective welcome AMD and Atari to the fray. They seem to be spinning so hard the wheel flies apart.

Recently it came to our attention that AMD and Atari were both promoting a new game called Shadow Ops: Red Mercury to the pubic as the first 64-bit game on retail shelves and was that it was supposed to be a very important step for 64-bit gaming in general. What interested us at PC Perspective were quotes such as “get access to the 64-bit only level of detail, with mind-blowing texture quality, enormous map sizes and amazingly enhanced artificial intelligence” from the press releases. It would seem that the 64-bit version of the game is big visual improvement over its 32-bit counterpart. But is this the case at all? We decided to pick up our own copy to find out.
