(ignore the news story title, which is incorrect? I'm pretty sure PhysX is the brand name of the Ageia made PC add on cards.)

Having just picked up KoF: Crusaders for my Xbox, I am totally jazzed, because that game is the shit. The retarded japanese cheesiness is in full effect, and mixing RTS and Dynasty Warriors is just like, this stroke of genius.

I am sure the physics they show off will just be like HS style infantry getting owned by artillery, but it would be cool if you could blow gaps in the ground to give your troops cover, or actually blast apart enemy bases.
