Thats right, no more in-game XMB for those who have not updated on the first few hours it was alive. But we presume this is just temporary until they sort out all those reported bricking problems.


Force Unleash Wii - 1v1 Video, bleah!

July 3, 2008


OMGOMGOMG, after watching this traumatising video, I dunno which one looks more stupid: that 2 buggers in the video running like Forest Gump, or the silly “mini-game” that seen the most exciting use of Wiimote ever.

Disappointing.

Final Fantasy 4 DS - Video comparison

OK I am gonna play this game, again, for like the 135th time.

Finally a Mario Party styled game

July 2, 2008

Finally, someone got the guts to make a Mario Party alike game. What is keeping the developers back? Didn’t Mario Party 8 sold 5 million copies? Took them so long to copy..

This game certainly look and sound very nice! Board game with RPG elements (sound like Richman monopoly also). The character classes have a Maple Story look in them. Mario Party + Maple Story = WIN!

To be released on 14th Oct 08.

Oh, the name of the game is Dokapon Kingdom.

July 2, 2008

UPDATE: It’s a remake of the 1995 sequel, with promise of new dungeons, and some online play (?). Look here for the press release.

Cooking Mama: World Kitchen, the next instalment of this popular series will be heading to Wii again this October, as what we were told. This time, we will be playing from a totally opposite perspective, as in we will be looking at ourselves stirring, flipping and cooking all the new recipes.

July 1, 2008

I guess a lot of you would be excited about it, but, I just cant bring myself to jump to this news. I mean, arent there a lot of music related games nowadays?

XBOX360 version will be coming first in September, but no concrete details of how this new version will be different from the rest. Click here for more info.


New banner, who’s there?

July 1, 2008

July is here, and as promised, a new banner has been put up on top of this page - in case you have NOT noticed!

In June, we had a clear choice for the game to be featured on the banner, but in July, I actually had to spend some time to look through the database to determine the winner. And it finally boils down to the battle between Soul Calibur 4 (PS3 & XBOX360) and Final Fantasy Chocobo Dungeon (Wii), and its obvious who had just won.

Frankly, its really fun, and if anyone is interested to help design the banner, please send me a note and I will gladly mail you the Paint.Net file I used to generate the above image.
