Together Again? The founding fathers of Final Fantasy reunite!
Posted on 19:18 by Unknown
The next issue of EGM is said to have an interview with Hironobu Sakaguchi while he was in Japan. From what has been written by the EGM staff this is a pretty substancial interview but mainly focuses on the origins of Final Fantasy. Later in the article, Nobuo Uematsu and Yoshitaka Amano are also mentioned.Ever since Sakaguchi broke away from Square Enix and formed Mistwalker, Nobuo Uematsu, who

XNA: Games for Gamers by Gamers
Posted on 10:03 by Unknown
For those who follow the gaming industry, it should come as no surprise when you hear a budget for a certain game spans millions of dollars. For those who don’t really follow the industry, the amount poured into the game should be evident in the quality that you get once you are actually playing it.Many analysts are proclaiming to high heavens that gaming is the next big thing in entertainment.

Want to Buy Rock Band (360) for cheap? Go to HMR in Pioneer....
Posted on 09:06 by Unknown
Right now they've got a LOT of surplus original US Rock Band Bundles (Xbox 360) for sale (literally, an avalanche of Rock Band Complete Set Bundles) at HMR in Pioneer, Mandaluyong City.Since they're 'surplus' (opened, used, but tested to be working), they cost far cheaper than getting a brand new Rock Band Bundle (currently priced at P5,500 for each bundle).I was just so surprised to see so many

My husband woke me up at around 5:30 am and before I could give a groggy reply he rambled on and on about Final Fantasy 13 coming to the XBOX 360.

How to play the TOO HUMAN Demo
Posted on 21:31 by Unknown
Note:Earlier in Pinoyxbox I gave impressions on the Too Human demo and I wasn't really too thrilled with the controls. It's hard to believe that Microsoft/Silicon Knights put a lot into the game and it didn't immediately make sense to me. So I decided to give it one last shot, and after my third try, I finally figured it out.GUIDE ON HOW TO PLAY THE DEMO FOR TOO HUMAN:So I gave this game ONE MORE

I'm still in shock at the news that Final Fantasy XIII is coming to the Xbox 360. Star Ocean 4 is coming to the Xbox 360. Lost Odyssey (Sakaguchi's latest, best epic JRPG yet) is on the 360. Infinite Undiscovery, Last Remnant, the list goes on and on and on.And there are western RPGs too for those inclined to more sandbox-like games. Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fable 2, Too Human....man, the list is

Street Fighter IV's latest trailer features a new character
Posted on 06:02 by Unknown
This trailer doesn't show game footage, it's entirely animated...however, there's one interesting tidbit at the very end. It's quite lengthy but it's very much worth watching....http://www.capcom.co.jp/sf4/trailer/trailer6.htmlAn article related to it (it's in Japanese, though).http://www.capcom-fc.com/sf4/2008/07/post_43.html

Review Retrospective: Gears of War
Posted on 00:56 by Unknown
Above is an image of Dan Hsu/1UP's review of Gears of War way back from 2006. Reading it now, in retrospect, you get to realize how unreliable video game reviews are these days.Despite all the negative comments in that review (even going so far as to calling Gears' multiplayer as 'broken') the game is still one of the most popular games on the Xbox 360. It's still hanging on in Major Nelson's

Fan-made JRPGs coming soon to the XBOX 360
Posted on 03:58 by Unknown
Every so often I drop by Fanfiction.Net to read up on fan made stories of popular media characters. Sometimes I am at a complete and utter awe after I finish reading a 20 chapter story for certain anime/game and I'm telling myself...'That's how the story should have been! That's how it should have played out!'.And now talented individuals have a chance to do that with the XBOX 360.For me a JRPG

...so we both haven't been blogging so much lately. Here's what's been keeping me occupied:- Two major work-related projects involving Visual C# / Java programming : Made some major breakthroughs with both of them for the past few days.
