Perhaps your view of what's "mediocre" and what's a "gem" is not consistent with the views of Hacker News readers at large

Don't know anything about PhysX, but I'd imagine they would. I'd also imagine that they'll start building in support for their cloud based physics as used in the upcoming Crackdown…

That deal is one of the most interesting, as it seems they've locked up not just streaming exclusivity, but all subscription services, meaning no HBO
