EAX now supported by 50 Games is the news today, which means another box, download, or retail shelf just got busier.

Creative Labs is behind the announcement. Creative Labs announced that over 50 leading game titles are now shipping with support for Creative’s Environmental Audio technology.

The availability of these games underscores the broad support for Environmental Audio technology through Creative’s Environmental Audio Extensions (EAX) application programmer’s interface. Microsoft’s recent licensing of EAX technology and plans to incorporate effects into a future version of DirectX, further establishes Environmental Audio technology as the de facto standard for 3D game development.

If this one has been on your watch list, start checking the shelves instead of just the screenshots.
