Rock Band Rocks!

A couple of weeks ago, I got a very unusual electronic invitation (Evite) from my good friends Eric and Kristy. They were throwing a party to celebrate the launch of Rockband, a PS2/PS3/Xbox 360 game developed by Harmonix Music Systems. I had heard of the game but in my whole new busy-busy-rush-rush world, hadn’t had [...]

My Sims DS: My Review

Having officially clocked 17 hours, 21 minutes and 24 seconds on my main character, not to mention the undocumented time I’ve put in rolling and re-rolling my characters, I think it’s about time I wrote a review on My Sims for the Nintendo DS. Besides, my fan club (which consists of a few of my [...]

Decorating and Fashion Disasters

If I’ve been a little out of the loop lately, it’s because I’ve been busy preparing for a new fan site launch over at IGN’s RPG vaults. For all the pirate fans out there, watch out for the “Pirates of the Burning Sea Vault” site coming your way soon! But of course, between bouts of [...]

Those Addictive Sims

I always thought that a handheld gaming console (ie. Nintendo’s DS or Sony’s PSP) was meant to be played when you are on the road or somewhere away from your state-of-the-art gaming machine with matching high-end flat-screen monitor/TV. It certainly beats reading a two-week-old well-thumbed issue of People Magazine while waiting at the dentist’s office. [...]

Singstar for the PS3

I’ve had my eye on a PS2 game called Singstar! for a while now but I’m holding out for the PS3 version. Of course I don’t have a PS3 so that makes for a rather expensive karaoke gaming experience indeed. I’m that kind of a buyer though. Some people buy the console first regardless of [...]

Longing for”Home”?

The big tech news this week is that Sony faced another disappointment with the delay of “Home”, a virtual world designed for PS3 online users. But really, I think the big deal has more to do with the Asian concept of “losing face” than anything else because I certainly don’t see PS3 users moaning and [...]

MMORPGs in the PS3′s Future?

It’s no secret that Sony’s PS3 is currently losing the “third generation console war”, if one were to even admit that there was such a thing. While the Wii continues to outsell its rivals, and the Xbox 360 struggles to maintain second place, the poor PS3 remains in third position largely due to a lack [...]

Drawn To Life: putting that stylus to use

The other day I got spam advertising a new game on the Nintendo DS called Drawn To Life. The game allows you to draw your own hero, his weapons and tools, as well as other objects in the game – plants, animals, you name it. I’ve always admired the innovativeness of the DS’ touchscreen and [...]

Lord Bane Is Dead

I finally beat Lord Bane! I’ve been playing Puzzle Quest in story mode ever since I got my Nintendo DS last April and for the longest time, I was stuck at a quest called “Final Battle”. When I first took the quest, the boss Lord Bane, was two levels above me at 45 and he [...]
