Macross Frontier has come to an end with Episode 25 providing an explosive ending (not to mention a happy one, with lotsa mecha pr0n and good-old hentai overtones). So in between watching re-runs and dying of anticipation for the upcoming movie, what is a Macross fan to do? In two words, buy stuff. So here’s [...]

What happens when you combine an Xbox (first-gen) with PSOne controllers and a Glock? You’ll get this: Yup. It’s a knock-off and I’m guessing its a NES or SNES clone as well. Even retro games and consoles don’t escape copyright infringement nowadays. For more knockoff goodness, check out these postings on a local online auction [...]

Paid a visit to the brand new Tesco hypermarket nearby my house earlier today. It’s one of those new concept Tesco stores that are more like shopping centers; there’s not only the hypermarket but also lots of other, smaller shops and restaurants located under one roof. And like many shopping centers, there’s a store, or [...]

The Nintendo Wii and Wii Sports make for a rather engrossing combination, but there’s a brand new console in town to take on the Wii (and Wii Sports). Enter the WiNi Sports Game console. Aside from sharing the same form factor as the Wii (and a little of the name as well), this made in [...]

The OneeChanbara games started off on the PS2 as a series of hack and slash games, featuring a beautiful bikini clad protagonist who uses a katana to go about the hacking, and slashing. Now you can find the series extending to both Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii platforms. Most collectors would ask, “Where can I [...]

This package, priced at USD 579.90 (previously USD 699) consists of the following items: PlayStation3 [...]

What happens when you cross something that looks like it ripped off a Final Fantasy opening cinematic with a Jpop tune? You get the opening cinematic for Sega’s latest Japanese language RPG for the Nintendo DS, World Destruction. You know what I think? It’s just too weird. I can’t imagine Square Enix doing the same [...]

The nice people over at RD sent me the revised pricing for Rock Band (both PS3 and Xbox 360) in Singapore and I quote: “in line with a competitive pricing strategy initiative undertaken by EA in Singapore”. All prices are in Singaporean dollars: Playstation 3 Instrument Pack S.R.P. S$229 (~USD 161) Standalone Drums S.R.P. S$149 (~USD [...]

The first time the R4DS came out, I was like, “Wau… there isn’t a Slot-1 flashkart at the first place?” and promptly bought 1 from the first batch. If I remember correctly, it was only RM 60 (USD 17), sans the microSD card. Nevermind the fact that I own a lot of original DS games [...]
