hi all... i know this has been discussed in the past, but wanted to see if i could get some more current information on the subject; can anyone suggest some good games that fully support widescreen resolutions natively? i'm not really into FPS-style games so i know that pares down the list quickly... any suggestions would be great, i really love RPG's but RTS and micro-management are welcome too... thx in advance all..!

Civ III is getting kind of old, but it plays well and adapts to widescreen on the 17".

No. Though I did suggest it to Blizz.

World of Warcraft however looks amazing in 1440x900.

War3 should have support for the widescreen on the 17. I've played it on 23" screens before.

It's stretched to fit, but I would never consider that to be "support".

The game supports 1280x854, and up, so I don't understand how you say "it stretches" it works fine in widescreen, and nothing is stretched. Maybe you need to install the 1.17 update. Log into bnet and it will download it.

No. The problem with wide-screen Warcraft 3 is that it could be imbalanced when playing vs people with 'square'er screens. I argue that it should be wide-screen while in single player, but the wide sections of the screen should have permanent "fog-of-war" while in multi-player.
