Tom Clancy's EndWar

Here's a possible game choice you might want to consider. We've been looking at EndWar quite sometime. Max praises the numbers and the very innovative Voice Command system. Seriously, this might be the pinnacle of future games. Control your armies with your Bluetooth Headset in the Speed of Thought.


Xbox360 version is now in ETA if you are interested, complete with its headset. PS3 owners might want to wait for a little while.

Description
The unthinkable happens in 2016. A nuclear exchange in the Middle East kills 20 million people and cripples the world's oil supply. Crude oil prices spike at $800 a barrel. One year later, the threat of world-wide nuclear war is eliminated when the United States and Europe deploy a comprehensive space-based anti-ballistic missile shield. Russia soon follows with an advanced missile defense system of its own. Intercontinental ballistic missiles are rendered obsolete.
Russia becomes the world's primary supplier of energy and experiences a massive economic boom. With its newfound riches, Russia quickly re-establishes itself as a major superpower and restores her military might.
Western Europe, with the notable exception of the UK and Ireland, unifies to create the European Federation. This new nation is destined to be a formidable 21st-century Superpower.

In 2020, the United States is on the verge of finishing construction on the Freedom Star, a controversial orbital military platform that will upset the balance of world power. The European Federation withdraws from NATO in protest. Tensions between the European Federation, the United States, and Russia are building and will soon reach the breaking point. The EndWar is about to begin.



Fighting works like Rock, Paper, Scissors except its the Europe, US and Russia. Lead the faction where your allegiences lie to victory, control capital city and take control of the destructive satellites that started this whole mess in the first place.

You might want to remember this to extend the fun.

Sackboy Dreams

To explain my 3 day inactivity, I am devilishly occupied with Little Big Planet. The levels are extremely clever and the gameplay is really simple. To those who are really nervous about this game, no it's not a kiddy game. We are not looking at little dolls played by 2 year olds, we are looking at a PERSONALISED ragdoll of your own GOD GIVEN ability to CREATE!



The real focus is IMAGINATION. Everything you see in the levels, you can recreate yourself. You can make it look like Mario but you can also imitate other levels and create as you see fit. The only problem you might find is the controlling but you will get used to them as you go. You can even move your limbs (trigger buttons for arm movement and the Sixaxis to control his head *shakes controller, Sackboy headbangs*)

Want to extend the fun? Bring a friend along! Just click on the PS button on any controller and you are on the way to play. While your at it, you can give each other some SMACKING (hold trigger button, tilt stick left to right or alternatively when you are close. SACKBOY BRUTALITY!

While I wait to find the way to upload the pictures into the PS3 hardrive, here is a visual representation of what my Sackboy looks like right now.

Beauty, my friends, is in the eye of the beholder. I wonder if I can make a Paradise lost themed level..


Thank you MrSyaf for helping us try out the online feature (and ofcourse the trophies!)^^

Mirror's Edge game length revealed and Launch Trailer

12 hours, that's how long the game will be. It sounds reasonable (I remembered my experience with Heavenly Sword. After I heard the 7 hour length in the game, I had to be *reeeaaaallly* cautious so I can enjoy the game full time.

Anyway here's the FINAL Mirror's Edge trailer. Watch and see what critics have to say for the game. Told you to have a little Faith ^^.



Another new remix of "Still Alive". I like the Demo trailer's remix better. Click HERE if you want to listen to the acoustic version.

Valkyria Chronicles released

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Way of the Samurai 3

We enjoyed the second game, that's why we think this game deserves the credit. Spike releases its new TV commercial for Way of The Samurai 3 for the PS3. Atleast this title is a relief after Samurai Western (I seriously thought this was the 3rd installment!),

But just who the heck is that dude in the white Tux? I knew Japanese TV trailers are abit screwed up O_o

Mirror's Edge "Runners" Story Trailer

A new addition to the animated story trailers from Mirror's Edge. In this new video, it is about the Runners, Faith's occupation. No one catches a Runner. You've got to prove that once you get your hands on this free running beauty (I mean the game, not the character!).



BTW, have you seen this trailer? It's cooler and more badass than any other trailer I've seen.
