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.

Ready for some more MGS action? Three new maps and a new roster of characters will enter the battlefield for the first time! Play as Liquid Ocelot himself and control the battle field through SOP. And Play as Mei Ling with your old soliton radar at hand again.

Mei Ling, ten years I've waited T_T

New maps include Silo Sunset, Forest Firefight and Winter Warehouse. Battle your enemies online and remember! Do you really need to hide under a cardboard box?

Guitar Hero World Tour on sale!

Do I hear some Guitar Heroes out there? You can find the game now ready in display in ETA. You might even catch a glimpse of the new drumset everyone's talking about.



More Guitar Hero stuff? You might want to check out ETA a bit deeper and you can find a special Gig Bag (with skulls, cool) for BND82 (O_O) and a microphone stand equipped for GH and RB mikes at BND75 ^^. Let's rock some more people!

Now I can go all Ozzy on this ^^ I wonder if I can get a customised one like KoRn or maybe one like Axl Rose?

Prince of Persia Film "First Look"

Like Gyllenhaal as the Prince? First time I heard Jake Gyllenhaal will be playing the lead, my reaction was, "Donnie Darko? That weirdo?". Others may have a different reaction, "OMG, the guy who kissed Heath Ledger?".

These things aside, will this film rock the casbah? Those who watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, rejoice! Mike Newell will be at the director's chair and Jerry Bruckheimer will be producing it (yes, the same producer for Pirates of the Carribean).

Here's the clip from Entertainment Tonight.


What scares me the most if not the fact that the Prince will be played by the same guy who played the homosexual Cowboy (Brokeback Mountain, my eyes!), it's the fact that it's from Walt Disney Pictures O_O

PS3 Keypad

Tired of typing messages in the PS3? Here's one attachment you will like. This will solve some issues, I mean I'm playing LBP and I'm communicating online like I'm making an SMS. This is a big NO-NO!


But I don't know. You can always use a USB Keyboard (Not that I've tried it. You know that roll up Keyboard made of plastic? Want one! Besides, I rather have the keyboard to stickto the PC for my blogging purposes). Maybe it's reserved for those lazy butts who can't get off the armchair.

One hand on the controller, another hand on the keyboard, and a mutated third hand to dig through the Ruffles.

Street Fighter IV release date set!

The game will be released in the US at Feb 17 next year. Can't wait for some Street Fighter action? We know you miss playing as Ryu or Ken, and definitely ChunLi. First time I played Street Fighter 2 was on the Gameboy (for you kids, it's the DS without the double screen and catridges 3x the size). It's great to revisit your classic favourite characters.

Persona 2 in Amazon.com

Here's a reason to go back to your first Playstation. For those who haven't had a copy and are seriously trying to find this game, you can order it exclusively in Amazon.com. If you still have it in your shelf (somewhere gathering dust), have a go and play it again while you wait for Persona 4. Or you can get back to your PS2 and play Persona 3 again. That's right, repeatedly shoot yourself.

I always wanted this game then T_T

You might not find the same Shoot-in-the-head gameplay, but this game is a classic and was a popular RPG then. Why? Because it has the same gripping storyline that twisted and turned with Lovecraft themes. Want something better? Well, if you get the original, you get to play it in your PS3 ^^

Here's a video to bring back that nostalgia.

Kingdom Under Fire II coming to the PS3?

Kingdom under Fire is just one of the games that made me regret not getting an Xbox. Even Dynasty Warriors couldn't relief me of playing such awesome warfare. Warfare and Heavy Metal that is!

Could it be that the franchise is now going multiplatform? If it is, then finally! Experience the massive warfare with you as their commander to lead their armies in PS3 graphics.

Here is the debut trailer for Kingdom Under Fire II. Edited from actual gameplay.

Mirror's Edge Demo Impressions

I really meant it when I said, "Have a lil Faith". We got a taste of some free runnning after downloading the demo (it's 840MB, btw) and it does have its little ups and downs. (Check out my article on this demo on Brugamers.com )

We love it! Great visuals make up for the frustration and the fluidity of gameplay makes it a superb experience. L1 to jump, and L2 to Slide, who would have thought of that before this? The best fun is when you run without braking. It's absolutely cool but occasional stops to solve puzzles might slow the pace down, but with some combination moves you can get the work done!

It's moments like these that make you go "WARGHHH!!!"

Valkyria Chronicle Anime

We haven't seen the game yet, and already they are planning to animate it. Aniplex's A1 pictures will be producing it, but will it follow the same CANVAS style that the game is known for? Anime fans will be attracted to the variety of colourful characters and its war themed storyline, modelled from World War II. How else are we attracted to it as well?

Selveria Bles: Hot and Cool?

'On the 15th day of the third month of the year 1935, the Empire began its assault in earnest. A formal declaration of war was made upon Gallia.
Though it was only a small front in a massive continental assault, what followed would prove that a tiny nation could best a military giant.
These events would tell a story of tragedy hidden in the mists of time.
A story of courage and of trust, of persecution and hate...
And of love blooming, even through the flames of war.
What follows is a record of this conflict, and of those who fought, lived and died.'

~Irene Koller, "On the Gallian Front"
