Bande dessinée is a French phrase for comic, cartoon, comic book or graphic novel. So it’s pretty strange to find the phrase attached to a Metal Gear Solid 2 movie DVD, titled Metal Gear Solid 2: Bande Dessinee. Like the name implies, Metal Gear Solid 2: Bande Dessinee isn’t your typical collection of FMVs taken [...]

There’s a phenomenon right here in Malaysia known as “Mat Rempit”. A typical “Mat Rempit” tends to be in his youth, and in his youthful exuberance, have an affinity for high speed motorcycle races and performing stunts on the aforementioned bikes. Sounds like fun eh, but they are also known for their mob mentality (if [...]

It looks like last month’s Rock Revolution (PS3)(R1) is now in the bargain bin for less than half price! Those of you that have been holding out from buying the game, here’s your chance as this offer is only for 7 days and each buyer is limited to 2 units of the game. Depending on [...]

When was the last time you took a trip down uncanny valley? I did last night. I thought I was watching a football match, but the slightly off lighting and the selection cursors reminded me that it was a demo of FIFA 2009 on the PS3. Pretty cool stuff this is. I also found out [...]

Man…putting in the ability to download and play demos on the PS3 is, in my book, a stroke of genius! I just finished playing the demo version of Civilization Revolution and the game has translated well from being a PC mainstay to its new found console home.

A particular forum thread that I frequent is currently suffering from emo-kid syndrome, which is enough for me not to go post in it.

I know that you can pre-order the Hori Classic Controller for the Nintendo Wii from Amazon.jp, but if you can’t read Japanese, there’s a better alternative in English with added bonuses of free shipping (in my case), no geographical restrictions and savings (due to the exchange rate). Play-Asia has the Hori Classic Controller open for [...]

Did anyone of you realized that the retail price of the Sony PS3 bundle (1 console, 1 DualShock 3 controller, 2 games) being sold at Sony Style Malaysia has gone up within a span of 1 week? I bought my console (the same bundle) from a Sony Style outlet last week, for RM 1799. In [...]

I thought I could unwind with some Burnout Paradise tonight, after one heck of a day in the office, but as soon as I popped the disc into the PS3, the game prompted me to download an update. I suppose that in this day and age, it’s not a surprise to see console games auto-patching [...]
