"The NUON media processor is extremely flexible, and capable of supporting a whole range of totally new graphics effects and algorithms such as voxels, plasma, procedural textures, parametric modeling, particle systems, and even some ray tracing. At the very least, they can totally customize the 3D pipeline to provide optimized performance for each specific title. Special effects are designed by the developer, and not the hardware manufacturer. This flexibility empowers the developer and offers a way to really differentiate new content."

Our review unit can bundled with a Nuon game called Ballistic. Our first impressions were kind of low on the game, but it proved to be really addictive... so I guess that's a good thing. I won't go too much into the detail of the actual game, but essentially it follows in the lines ot Tetris, but rather then working with square shapes falling from the ceiling you work with different coloured balls moving along a spiraling track.

If we consider each of the balls to be one sprite we can gauge how well the Nuon chip runs the system. From what we saw the game play was quite fast for the most part, but did slow down slightly when the spiral track was almost full of many different coloured sprites in the more complex stages.
