"If you have been following PC games at all recently, you'll have noticed AMD getting into a marketing swing promoting 64-bit gaming. As the new Microsoft XP 64-bit edition comes closer to availability, AMD is getting more and more anxious to show off their 64-bit advantage before it disappears with the arrival of Intel's desktop 64-bit processors.

Yesterday, the very first game with 64-bit support right out of the box was released, titled "Shadow Ops: Red Mercury." Published by Atari, this game features the AMD64 logo on the box as well as during the loading of the game. 64-bit versions of several other popular games have been in development for some time, so this release seemed not too out of the ordinary, so at first it was just minor news."
