Do you want to watch the Microsoft E3 2009 Press Conference, live? If you're in the Philippines, you'd have to wake up at 1:25 AM Philippine Time (Tuesday morning) to catch it. A few gaming websites are hosting a streaming video feed of the conference, so just look for an available feed and watch.In other news, the MS Conference was supposed to be at 1:30AM (10:30AM in Los Angeles), but

GAME SALE ALERT: Rustan's Shangri-La
Posted on 00:18 by Unknown
We happen to pass by Rustan's Department Store in Shangri-La today. We almost didn't see it but there was a stack of older titles on sale for the XBOX 360, XBOX, Gamecube and a ton of GBA cartridges. The table was in front of the huge 'Bakugan' poster near the escalators. We picked up Ninja Gaiden Black for P500! XBOX titles sell for PHP 500 only while XBOX 360 titles sell for PHP 700. When

Street Fighter IV in Timezone Glorietta 4 - Impressions
Posted on 01:34 by Unknown
We were at Glorietta 4 today and surprisingly, we spotted 2 Street Fighter IV arcade machines at Timezone Glorietta 4. They had two system-linked SF4 arcade cabinets, where each cabinet only has one set of sticks. When you start the game, you're given an option to play 'arcade mode' (which is open to challengers), 'beginner mode' and 'trial mode'.(Pictures of the unit are at the bottom of this

On Capcom Japan's Decision NOT To Go To E3 2009.
Posted on 23:32 by Unknown
Here's Kotaku making too much of a big deal of Capcom Japan's decision not to go to E3 2009.I actually AGREE with Capcom Japan.I'd rather that Capcom Japan's very-talented-developers and staff not take the risk of being infected with the H1N1 virus. Personally, I can wait for Dead Rising 2 to be revealed at another time. It's not like the game itself is getting delayed.I think it's just the game

XBX Interactive An Ideal Place For Street Fighter IV Tournaments
Posted on 22:39 by Unknown
We drove over to the Xbox 360 LAN Gaming Place XBX Interactive for the first time this morning. We were supposed to try out their Rockband 2 VIP rooms, but unfortunately I didn't have enough money for it.Instead of opting to come back again next time, though, we asked if they had STREET FIGHTER IV, and they did. And the second question we asked...was if they had fighting sticks. The answer was,
Star Ocean 4 : Middle of Disc 2 Impressions *spoilers*
Posted on 06:34 by Unknown
I really missed out on a great RPG last April; that RPG is Star Ocean 4 :)I think I've reached the middle of the game now; the in-game combat system is now showing some level of sophistication. It's nice how you can switch characters in the middle of a battle sequence, and how your party isn't 'wiped out' unless everyone (and absolutely EVERYONE) gets killed.Not that it makes things any easier.

Cynical Kotaku Rates Microsoft's E3 Promises Last Year
Posted on 16:22 by Unknown
I was expecting them to fail Microsoft (like they usually do); surprisingly, they demonstrated how MS actually lived up to MOST of their promises (practically all of them, actually).http://kotaku.com/5259178/microsofts-e3-promises-one-year-laterThey gave them a 'B', perhaps to ensure that they don't get the ire of the other console fanboys; but judging from the actual article, Microsoft clearly

Star Ocean 4 Surprisingly Like 'Star Trek'
Posted on 07:42 by Unknown
A few hours in, I'm getting the impression that the game's designers were heavily inspired by the style of Star Trek. Human space explorers together with a few alien beings find uncharted territories, investigate, seek out new life, gather information/intelligence...At the very least, the first few quests have that consistent feel about them. After leaving a particular planet it felt to me like

The Long Overdue STAR OCEAN 4 Impressions Post

Blame Capcom. Blame Street Fighter IV. And blame Resident Evil 5. We got Star Ocean 4 a few months back; my wife got to about near the end of the first disc but then a lot of work came in, so she never finished the game. I got started on Star Ocean 4 a few days ago. She said she'll just take turns with me playing the game instead.Yeah, it was hard to get out of Street Fighter IV to try out a

More Fable 2 DLC, or Hinting at Fable 3?
Posted on 19:26 by Unknown
Saw this story on Kotaku today, and then I watched this video (note: This contains SPOILERS! If you're planning to buy the latest DLC, stop reading right now). It seems to hint at a future game...or DLC? Whichever the case, it impresses me that Fable II's DLCs have added voice acting. Usually these things are just tacked on to existing games. Good for Molyneux and Co. to actually put in more
On The Rampant Metal Gear Solid 4 for Xbox 360 Rumors.
Posted on 03:40 by Unknown
This rumor is everywhere right now on the 'net, and a lot of people are expecting this to be announced at E3 this year. Here's my position on it:1. I don't really care - It's too late for the game to be released on the Xbox 360. It has had enough time released on the Playstation 3 and I think by this point in time everyone who wants to play the game has already bought it for the PS3.If it were to

Manny Pacquiao Sponsored By...TEKKEN 6??!!

Spotted by my brother as we were watching the fight in HD. Check out the jacket of the guy on the left side of the screen.(Click the image to see a larger version of the picture.)Namco-Bandai games does own the trademark to the name 'Pac-Man'. So perhaps they approached him and, instead of suing for copyright or whatever, just asked for some kind of sponsorship?Or maybe the guy with the jacket is
