The Playstation 3 continues its steady decline into irrelevance in Japan, continuing its epic fail in the Land of the Rising Sun for the SEVENTH CONSECUTIVE WEEK. There's no doubting that Japanese gamers are starting to look for the games on the Playstation 3, and they just aren't there.http://kotaku.com/5071641/psp-tops-hardware-sales-again-ps3-sinks-to-new-lowPSP Tops Hardware Sales Again, PS3

That Poem in the Gears of War 2 Commercial....
Posted on 06:41 by Unknown
Have you seen the Gears of War 2 commercial (the older one), the one where there's a voice that utters this poem that begins with "I have a rendezvous with death...."I happened to find what could be the poem that they [most likely] based it upon. Just an interesting read; apologies if this seems an academic post and not exactly video-game related....Source: http://www.bartleby.com/104/121.
Fable 2 : Believe The Hype
Posted on 01:01 by Unknown
If you've been reading a lot of game review sites and forums online, Fable 2 has been getting an immense amount of buzz this week.After having played the game since yesterday up to this afternoon...I say that the game really does deserve it.I haven't completed the game yet, to be honest, but I am getting that feeling that this is one of those games that will set a new bar for Western RPGs (or,

RPG Incoming: Fable 2
Posted on 04:42 by Unknown
That's just a sampling of the incredible, INCREDIBLE levels of hype Fable II is getting all over the Web. Can a game be THAT good?*****The definition of RPG between Western developers and Eastern developers clearly differs in some way. Western devs mostly think that when a game is a 'role-playing game', they take it quite literally---you, the player, play a role in a fantasy setting, and as such,

Yes, the Filipino Gamer Can!
Posted on 07:28 by Unknown
It’s been around 4-5 years since I played Philippine Ragnarok Online (PRO). I still remember our (mine and my brother’s) primary character, a priest name Leafar. We operated as a lone wolf providing only the cheapest healing services in the dungeons of Prontera. When we played PRO we only had one goal in mind...to make our priest look like some kind of jester. We had everything...swirly glasses,

It seems Level Up did a very good job at informing people about the event and getting them to be involved and to
