Once we had everything hooked up (which is a piece of cake, by the way), we gave the speakers a good run by loading up a few choice games: Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Star Wars Galaxies. All of these games support environmental audio in some capacity, so we felt they were good choices. With the volume cranked to about 75% and the bass turned up a notch, Call of Duty literally shook the entire office. Gunfire could be heard from all directions through the satellite speakers and the sound of falling bombs resonating from the subwoofer could actually be felt in your chest. The sound effects and music from World of Warcraft didn't make us feel like we were in a war, but it did provide an excellent sense of immersion while wandering Azeroth. And since Star Wars Galaxies uses all of LucasArts' original movie effects, the surround sound is truly amazing when you're locked in a rifle battle on the sands of Tatooine.
