Elika becomes Jade from Beyond Good & Evil

This one is a big surprise. Hardcore gamers may be attracted to the Altair costume, but the Jade costume does bring back some old memories. Admit it, Beyond Good & Evil is a work of art and an awesome game to boot. Thank you Ubisoft for reminding us the great games you have given us.


In case you are wondering if there is a sequel to BG&E, there will be one with an undecided release date. Let's hope it won't become vaporware.

What did I say? A work of art ^^

LittleBigPlanet Street Fighter special

It's Street Fighter fever! We're all waiting for Street Fighter 4 to be released and Street Fighter II HD is coming to the PS-store. But I can't wait for these new LBP costumes!


We got Chunli, Ryu, Guile and Zangief in the mix (very popular characters, been using them since the Gameboy!). Though your Sackboy may not Hadouken or Flying Bird Kick, it's still fun to go at it in your levels dressed up as your favourite Street Fighter. It will definitely raise the hype for the popular fighting game and it's a beauty to add to your collection (next to your LocoRoco!).

Hideo Kojima receives MTV Lifetime Achievement

An Award well deserved. Hideo Kojima, creator of Metal Gear Solid, the biggest game franchise since Mario (who?) received the Lifetime Achievment award at the MTV Game Awards Show. I remember years ago when we had our hands on the first Playstation when everyone started talking about how the first Metal Gear Solid was awesome. We didn't get it immediately and it took us months for the curiosity to kill us. Since then, Metal Gear Solid has been one of those games that I keep close to my heart.



This clip is amazing! You have the Jade Raymond presenting the award (I mean seriously, how many game producers are actually attractive?), a montage of the four Metal Gear Solid games and a touching confession by Hideo Kojima in the end.

BruPlay makes history (Do the Running Man!)

We haven't had our hands on Playstation@Home yet, but already people are already having fun with it. It's going to feel weird with Max and I sharing on avatar.. maybe it's time to get that USB keyboard (with the roll up plastic thingy). Anyway, a new trend is made, and the first comes from Brunei.


"I don't see Arnold anywhere.. Oh, that kind of RUNNING MAN!"

Wanted: Weapons of Fate

Remember that awesome film with awesome gun action with awesome Angelina Jolie? I get really nervous when it comes to videogames that tie in the film. But how long has it been since the film was released?



Just in case anyone didn't know, Wanted is a comic book adaption which was praised as "The Watchmen for Super Villains". Of course, anyone who read the book may have been disappointed with the exclusion of Super Villains and its replacement with Assassins. Comic Book fans rejoice, though the film doesn't stay true, the game features the Wesley Gibson's costume from the comic book. That's right, the tights and goggles.

Prince of Persia: Altair costume

Remember Assassin's creed? That futuristic game set on the ancient deserts of the middle east? Everyone loves it, and we love it too. Therefore, when we heard the news of Altair's cameo in Prince of Persia (more like the Prince in Assassin's garb.

Leap of Faith?

So how do you get this? Easy. Go online and get yourself a Ubisoft account then link it to your PSN. We know Prince of Persia is Uber cool, and so is Assassin's creed. Here's one reason you can add when you buy the game.

Bike Hero

Guitar Hero fever? Do you know that playing hours of Guitar Hero can cause some dizziness and hallucinations (especially if your driving)? These boys cleverly made what it looks like to be playing Guitar Hero WT on your bike. They use confetti and even a ramp jump. Catch the Lars Umlaut cameo in the video!



The song is Prisoner of Society by The Living End. One of the most awesome alternative songs I have listened to.

LittleBigPlanet going LocoRoco

This is by far the weirdest LBP update I've seen. Who would have thought that the LocoRoco craze had reach to this game? This just proves that singing bright coloured Blobs can even impress Media Molecule to create these lovely critters in here.

Might as well turn them in to Teletubies. Oh the Horror!

Here's a warning to all of you. You CAN'T tilt the screen if you CAN'T jump for a platform you CAN'T reach (even if it's too frustrating). There, that's the three CAN'Ts for having LocoRoco in LBP. And if one of you ever make a LocoRoco themed level, there shall be murder.
