Brunei Cyber Games III

Pump your guns, it's time to rumble. They are now bringing in the Third Generation consoles (And definitely we're refering to the PS3) and it is a very interesting choice of games. With Guitar Hero 3 out of the picture (boohoo T_T), we have some big hit titles to be set for the challenge.


You will find the registration desk at the Mall cineplex next to Westreet and ETA games, and of course Max and I already signed up for some Modern Warfare. (thought we'd put our names before anyone else but aiyah.. one guy beat us to it.

Registration is about $15 and if you're up to it there are some really tempting prizes. First Prize is an ETA games voucher for $300 (woot!), Second prize is another ETA games voucher for $100 (woot!) and Third prize will be sponsored by QQstore (woo...what?). Believe it or not, Ziggy and Max will divide and conquer for those prizes and we will definitely practice like crazy until the day of our destined battle (bwhahaha).

Readers! Let everyone know ROCK BAND is ON! And of course who wouldn't wanna miss PES 2009 on the PS3 (trust me, this one is preeety smooth).

Playstation@Home

While Max goes at it in a game of online pool, I'm writing about our recently attained Playstation@Home. It just popped up in the Xmediabar above the PS-store all of a sudden so we got all excited to try it out and downloaded it immediately (after trying out the MGS4 demo of course ^^)


Max's HomeSpace, "Call MTV! My new crib is awesome!"
It took us the next morning just to get in Home due to a busy server but we're glad that we made it. After fixing Max's avatar (even trying to match his current look, heheeh), the first awesome thing we got to see is the HomeSpace which is one pad we would want to have for ourselves. Being at Home, however, is like being on a vacation in some hot pacific tourist resort. Outside the space we see boats lined up and palm trees everywhere (that reminds me we never tried out Sentosa Island. Too bad ^^)

Metal Gear sequel hinted in the equation

You all may have heard about it. Is Kojima trying to hint something BIG in this equation, or Konami is trying to hide the fact of an unescapable truth through a overused commercial strategy? You decide.


Let's break some points to speculate. First of all, it's green in a black background. Green can mean Xbox360 and I'm SURE I'LL NEVER WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT! Shifting the game franchise to the Xbox is like a stab in the back of PS3 gamers since FFXIII went multi-platform. Knowing Kojima, he would make full use of the bluray disc (the 400GB disc is tempting) and use his signature game direction to overflow the data. Xbox doesn't have that and the MGS series will forever stick to the heart of Playstation owners world wide.

LBP Japan winner

LittleBigPlanet is now for samurais. I've been wondering about this costume for a long time. It was on the featured page on the Playstation Store next to the Chimaera and Motorstorm costume. Obviously, it'll be coming soon to our PS3 and hopefully it will be another freebie ^^


Now I'm wondering about the Asian winner. We finally have the American, European and the Japanese. Now what does Media Molecule have to offer next?

The Agency

Here's another interesting find. What's so cool about the Agency is, how Max puts it, a spoof of the modern and classic Spy films. That's right, Alias and James Bond like that. The trailer is hilarious, it's got awesome action, and the coolest badasses I've ever seen.

And did I mention some beautiful artwork on the game?

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.
