Ahhh…Scratch Cards, one of my favourite past times during my sojourns to Liberty City. Apparently you can even win a house if you get lucky with this mini game of chance (here). The funny thing was right after playing GTA: Chinatown Wars (and after scratching so many of those damn things), I found something in [...]

This is one special edition Sony PS3 that die hard Final Fantasy Advent Children fans would want, but because of the high price, reduced to oogling from afar and debating the virtues of having one in online forums.

First, a bit of a background. Gashapon manufacturer Yujin has been producing replica guns in gashapon form, measuring [...]

My earliest memories of the side-scrolling beat-em-up genre were mainly limited playing Double Dragon and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle on the Micro Genius console, and I wasn’t really good at them.
