While monitoring my GPU load in Depth Hunter, I enabled 3D Vision only to find the GPU load didn't go up a bit. I thought something looked a bit "off" in 3D with this game - the three dimensional image is faked, a la Crysis 2 (uses the depth buffer to fake 3D)
Very disappointing when I have a GTX680, and the game uses cheap fake 3D.

Top Gun - Hard Lock
Short and sweet: This game is not for those who love fighter sims; it makes HAWX look like DCS A-10C (an advanced flight simulator)
- At 1080p, it only pushes my 7970 to about 50% load, and there are no graphics options to increase other than resolution
- At 1080p, the graphics are very pixellated, which leads me to believe that the game renders internally at 720p and upscales to the selected resolution
- The game is incredibly and overly simplistic, for example to land on the carrier after your "mission" is over, you simply fly near it facing the runway and a cutscene appears with you landing
- Basically dogfights consist of cheesy "Hard Locks" in which you and the enemy take turns alternating flying in front of and behind each other. When you're in front of the enemy, you only have to do things like "Hold Right" to successfully get back behind him. "Perfect!" it says to you after you've held the right key. When you're behind him, just keep the reticle centered on the enemy jet, and you get a perfect lock on, where you press CTRL to fire a missile and win.
In my opinion this game would be great for 4th and 5th graders.
