Since KH 2 is an old game, and those who liked KH 1, probably played 2 already – I’d just go on and talk about the game with spoilers and all.
So Kingdom Hearts 2 picks up where the first left off with Sora trying to find Rikku and get back to Kairi. Of course, [...]

Recently, I started playing Command & Conquer 3:Tiberium Wars ~ it’s a lovely real time strategy game with a history dating back 10+ years ago. When the first C&C came out, I remember playing with Chris and we’d have a blast killing each other over modem or whatever it was back then. Now, [...]

In almost all Final Fantasy series, there’s one universal theme that is commonly accepted — that is, you walk around in dungeons and at any give moment, the screen would flash and you’d enter into turn-based combat against several foes. You’d choose what killer attacks you want to execute on the enemies, and then [...]

Does 400,000 units sound a lot to you? My roommates certainly thought that’s a lot – but let’s break it down. 48 states, 10 major cities in each state, 15 major retailer in each city – that’s 7200 stores to stock, a very low estimate that I just thought up, and it results [...]

For the past month, I spent a tremendous amount of time playing Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on the XBOX360. Rated as one of the best role playing game by critics and players worldwide, it boasts hundreds of quests, miles of walkable area, non-linear gameplay, kickass graphics, and fully voiced dialogues. Since I’ve logged [...]

Blog entries make a lot more sense when they come in a monthly basis. Not enough happens on a daily basis to really make a good entry in my opinion. So! What have I been up to in this past month? Well, for the most part, EverQuest II was on the [...]

After being violated in Tampa this past Friday morning, I was on my way back to Orlando trying to decide whether I should follow my original plan of watching some movies or just go straight home. The physical in the MEPS took just as long as they said it would — 6 hours, but [...]

A long time ago, I loved Mortal Kombat 2 with a passion. After Street Fighter, it was the coolest game on SNES and I mastered the sucker with a passion. Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks modeled itself after the classical game, and made it into a 3D adventure game similiar to “Double Dragon” or [...]

I found Maple Story on November 5th, about 20 days ago. And since then, I’ve played a magician and levelled him up to 35 with speciality in lightning and ice and I also levelled a warrior to 16 (to enter into the iPod Nano contest). But since 5 days ago, the desire [...]

I bought the GameCube from Linda just to play this damn game. It’s rated as one of the best game ever made for the GameCube, and I can’t really argue with it since I’ve only played like.. 4 games for the GC. Anyway, cross platform wise, Resident Evil 4 is fun, but not [...]

From the makers of Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Night, and Knights of the Old Republic, BioWare brings us Jade Empire – a look into a fantastical Medieval Chinese empire on the verge of self-destruction. BioWare promised the path you would take your hero wouldn’t just be black or white — but, it is! Well, [...]

I’ve known this video for quite sometimes now, and I always wanted to show it to everyone. It’s truly awesome, and I wish I could play Gran Turismo 3 half as well as the video. I’m dedicated, but not fanatical =) Maybe someday!
Since embedding the video cause the whole blog to crumble [...]

By itself, Gran Turismo 4 isn’t any different from its predecessor. You still get crapload of cars to choose from, many different realistic tracks, and all the tuning options that you had. What’s different is this time — I got a Driving Force Pro Wheel from Logitech! And wow! It’s like [...]

I first heard about planetarian, a story by Key’s Kinetic Novel from GameFAQs.com and after a quick search at HF’s Forum, I was able to download it and experience the joy.
In a post war era where humanity excuted mutually assured destruction with nuclear and biological weapons, you found a robot maid in the midst of [...]
