One of the most compelling features of Matrox's new Parhelia graphics card is its ability to display games across three monitors at once. The extra real estate can be used for peripheral vision in action and simulation games, or to simultaneously display inventory and other 2D screens in role-playing games. At the card's launch at the beginning of the month, only a handful of games were said to support the feature. Matrox has now announced that the following 20 games, both recent and older releases, support surround gaming.
Aliens Versus Predator 2
Anarchy Online
Ballistics
Clive Barker's Undying
Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project
Gore: Ultimate Soldier
Grand Prix 4

The fact that a game supports surround gaming doesn't mean that turning the feature on is as easy as clicking on a checkbox. In some cases, users must edit the registry or use in-game console commands to get the feature to work. For more information, read our full review of the Parhelia.
