Also posted this on Pinoyxbox.com forums...Just played this game yesterday and finished the first and second level....that second level was really, really, REALLY long. I wish the boss fight didn't repeat itself too much but the trip to the boss had some really nicely designed areas.I have to say, though...the cutscenes and voice acting in this game are SUPERB. There may be some choppiness

Deluge of Games: Too Human, Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery
Posted on 21:39 by Unknown
It seems the deluge of games for the Xbox 360 is about to begin. I'm barely done with Soulcalibur IV (I'm still enjoying the online mode immensely) and I'm in chapter 4 of Ninja Gaiden 2, and here comes three more big Xbox 360 titles:Too Human - I'm getting this despite what the reviews out there are saying. I have a feeling the reaction in the reviews is more because of Denis Dyack's little

I saw this poster outside of Timezone arcades and I also saw it on the official site for Timezone.

Here's a link to the news and an image of the poster I see in most Timezone arcades:http://www.timezone.com.ph/promos.asp#p194"Tekken 6 CompetitionAuthor: Nedz

Soulcalibur IV CPU AI in Versus Mode...
Posted on 07:21 by Unknown
...is quite fun to play against. Set it to 'VERY HARD' difficulty and you've got a virtual sparring partner to play against if no local players are online to play against.The difficulty levels in VERSUS MODE for the AI are Easy, Normal, Hard, Very Hard, and Edge Master. "Very Hard" difficulty puts up a good fight, though since it is a CPU opponent it won't pull any surprises or weird tricks that

I recently passed by one branch of Globe Telecom and saw a sign that said that the IPhone 3G was launching in the Philippines in 2 days.Wow, I forgot all about this one. I heard that Apple was releasing the IPhone locally a few months ago; I was surprised that it was a matter of days before the IPhone becomes officially supported in the Philippines.You would think that, in the Philippines where

Soul Calibur IV Observations
Posted on 19:45 by Unknown
After a lot of multiplayer online matches in Soul Calibur IV, I just made some observations:- Siegfried is incredibly strong. Not undefeatable but he's quite tough to fight. Some of his strings can be walked around (simply press diagonal up or diagonal down to walk sideways-forward) but you have a really brief moment before he can hit you again. You have to be very, very quick.- Characters with

Soul Calibur IV Online Play - Join in the fun!
Posted on 17:13 by Unknown
I only recently discovered the awesomeness that is Soul Calibur IV's Multiplayer Mode on Xbox Live....sorry I couldn't be more creative with my description, but that's exactly how I feel about SC4 online. It's incredibly, insanely fun, especially with friends who are living in the same vicinity or on the same ISP as you. I got to play some matches where my connection was just superb (5 blue bars

Thoughts on Soul Calibur IV
Posted on 05:20 by Unknown
Just picked up Soul Calibur IV and went through a lot of the story mode. I like the game and highly recommend it....the game has this 'polish' that makes it feel like a complete game, and it's a great game to enjoy with friends, too:- The graphics are the best out of a Japanese developer thus far. The character models are really intricate and detailed, and I love how sharp everything is.- The

Asian Cyber Games 2008 - VF5 & GH3
Posted on 05:21 by Unknown
Initially, I was not planning on going to the Asian Cyber Games but I’m glad that I threw caution to the wind, spent the remainder of our gaming fund and flew to Singapore to see the Asian Cyber Games 2008. Amidst the strange weather and all the walking I had to do crossing the City Link Mall going to the Suntec Convention Center, I can definitively say that I enjoyed myself. Me and my husband

Japanese launch for Tales of Vesperia

Back in 2005 during the launch of the XBOX 360 in Japan, this was what graced the front pages of several gaming sites with people laughing that the lack of support the Japanese had for the American console.But lo and behold...the 'unthinkable' has happened!That line in the picture above is the line for Tales of Vesperia in Japan.

Writing Chronicles
Posted on 07:12 by Unknown
Well, I've been writing chronicles on my experiences in 'Professional Gaming' (i.e. playing video games in view of an upcoming, high profile, international gaming tournament). I can't post them yet because, well, it will be more fun to post those chronicles after the competition is over.The chronicles are really long. I wrote them for myself, actually; I want to log the experiences that I had in

I bought Virtua Fighter 5 in December of last year for the Xbox 360. Little did I know that buying that game would embark me on this crazy little journey in the world of 'professional gaming'.DISCLAIMER:First off, some expectation setting for readers.NO, I do not see myself as 'the best player' in Virtua Fighter 5; not in the Philippines, nor in the entire world.
