[Update] The PS3 has indeed been hacked. Read more at World’s 1st PS3 Hack (And This Time It’s Real). Pirates have claimed to hack the PS3 to play blu-ray copies of PS3 games. At the moment, copied versions of Killzone 2, Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) 2008 and Burnout Paradise have been confirmed to work. In […]

Many were touting Bayonetta as the next God of War killer (come on, seriously?). The final reviews are out and Bayonetta turned out to be really good. It scored “above average” on IGN & GameSpot (the 360 version is top-notch) while others such as GamesRadar, VGArabia & Famitsu gave it near perfect scores. Personally I […]

Here are the minimum system requirements for Dark Void an upcoming action game from Capcom. Dark Void is set to release on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 on January 15 2010 (EU) and January 19 2010 (NA) […]

This trailer is directly from the Asian Games show which took place in Hong Kong. Although it is a cam shot and the sound stops after the 0:30 mark, but its a good trailer nonetheless, showing off Gran Turismo 5’s beautiful Rome and Madrid cityscape.

Fallout New Vegas is under development by Obsidian and will be published by Bethesda. Little is known about this one except it will feature a radiated, wasteland version of Las Vegas. A trusted source has revealed the following information: 1. The character can select a “back story” much like Dragon Age Origins. 2. One of […]

Readers (and retailers alike) of the Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu voted that the announcement of the PS3 slim was the biggest news of 2009. That’s not surprising considering that PS3 sales grew by 104% or more than doubled due to the launch. Famitsu has a weekly circulation base of 550,000 but only 224 valid reader […]

Well this is surprising. 5617 (Chinese website, Google Translate link) has reported that Final Fantasy XIII spent only 2 years in development time. If it’s true (the translate is a bit iffy), FF XIII was originally meant to be released on the PS2 but was later shifted to the PS3. It’s been four years since […]

Ben Heck, a prominent modder and hacker, has modified a PS3 slim into a laptop form, complete with a 17″ HD screen. Unbelievable but true, the laptop is open for bidding (at the time of this writing) on eBay starting at $2,500. Frankly that’s a steep price but it would be cool to own this […]

Ah, another year has come and passed by. But 2010 offers the best enticement to be a gamer. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or just a casual gamer starting out, there is no time like the present to take up the passion of video gaming. So, here’s why […]

Final Fantasy XII XIII was the fastest selling game of Japan and sold over 1.5 million in the first week alone. But it’s sad to say that FF XII XIII sales have plummeted in the second week, with a mere 200,000 being sold. Take heart though, this is not because of a flaw in the […]

I guess this review is long overdue. Zipbd (I had the 256 kbps package) used to provide good service when I first joined in 2008. But not anymore. I upgraded to the 512 kbps package @ Tk 1,500 per month last month. Frankly, the upgrade process wasn’t as smooth as I hoped. I submitted a […]

In the February 2010 issue of PC Gamer, Crytek has revealed the first details of Crysis 2. It will be set inside a jungle again, however Crytek insists it’s a “new style of jungle”. Nathan Camarillo, executive producer of Crysis 2 has said “we are applying our expertise to a new style of “jungle” which […]

Well, it was more like “wake up Mr. Freeman, wake up and smell the ashes”. Ah, we all remember that line as the G-man ushered us into a new era of FPS games, or more commonly known as Half Life 2. You see, yesterday’s video of a guy playing Half Life 2 on Natal brought […]

If you don’t know what Natal is, it is Microsoft’s response to Nintendo Wii’s motion controller. Unlike the Wii, Natal doesn’t require any sort of controller. Apparently, casual motion sensing games are all the rage right now and that’s where the money lies. Microsoft has touted that the launch of Natal is going to be […]
