IMG Reviews Monsoon PlanarMedia 14
12:07 PM | Tuncer Deniz | Comment on this story
Inside Mac Games has posted a review of Monsoon's PlanarMedia 14. Here's a clip from the review: The PlanarMedia 14s follow the tradition of the Monsoon speakers, featuring true flat panel speaker satellites and a standard longthrow subwoofer. Each satellite uses a slightly updated PFT 100 series Planar Ribbon Traducer developed by Level 9 Sound. The biggest difference is the large eight-inch woofer versus the six and half inch woofer in the PlanarMedia 9s. Also, the 14s sport a total of 100 watts RMS, which is noticeably greater than the 76 watts RMS found in the 9s and the 35 watts in the 7s. Be sure to check out the rest of the review by following the link below.

Enigmo, the popular puzzle game by Pangea Software that has garnered an amazing 30,000 downloads on Macgamefiles.com, has been updated to version 1.2. Enigmo is a 3D puzzle game where the player manipulates various streams of flowing liquid so that the droplets can reach their destination. Liquids (water, oil, and lava) fall from droppers, and will bounce off walls in a visually stunning cascade. By moving various types of bumpers, sliders, accelerators, and sponges, the player diverts the flow of the falling droplets. Here's a list of fixes included in the latest version: By popular demand, you now get 5000 bonus points for each leftover part when you win a level, you can now scroll with the arrow keys, and file dialogs no longer default to the desktop. Does FSAA when playing in a window with ATI hardware. Minor bug fixes. Some Dutch localization improvements. If you're unfamiliar with Enigmo, be sure to check out IMG's review. Stop by MGF to download the full demo or the small patch, if you already have a copy of the game.
