Aug 19, 2008 12:07 ET

GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN–(Marketwire - August 19, 2008) -

Entropia Universe ( www.entropiauniverse.com ), the award-winning 3D online virtual universe for interactive entertainment, social networking, and e-commerce, today announced that Entropia Universe will be part of NVIDIA’s “The Way It’s Meant to Be Played” program, which ensures consumers of the highest quality gaming experience when running NVIDIA® GeForce® graphics hardware inside their PC.

As a result of joining the “The Way It’s Meant to Be Played” program, NVIDIA will work closely with Mindark, developer of Entropia Universe, to enhance the visual effects within the game. By taking advantage of the latest technologies offered by GeForce GPUs, and the implementation of the Crytek® engine to the Entropia Universe platform set to launch later this summer, gamers will experience an immersive, exciting online experience.

“We are thrilled to be working with NVIDIA and look forward to a prosperous future together,” said David Simmonds, Business Development Director of Mindark, developer of Entropia Universe. “The expertise that the NVIDIA team has to offer is so valuable to us as we strive to continually provide the best gaming experience for our players.”

In addition, NVIDIA is offering Mindark thirty GeForce 9800 GT GPU-based graphic cards, which will be put into select Entropia Universe loots for players to scavenge during their online exploits.
