How to record console videogames to your PC
2008-03-17 23:28:00
Maybe you have an impressive high score to show or just itching to show what games you play on Youtube. Whatever the reason is, gamers have always wanted to record their console game and not have a crappy quality version taking using a videocamera.I recommend using Adaptec's Gamebridge as it works well for me and it is reasonably priced. According to Gamebridge's technical specs, it will allow you to connect your PS 2, Xbox, Xbox 360 and GameCube to your computer. But I'm sure it will work on the PS3 and Wii and possibly anything that has a video output.Amazon's retailing for about 100 bucks and you can get it over here.

Latest Street Figther IV gameplay clip from AUO Show in Japan
2008-02-18 03:14:00
Here are the latest video clip of the Street Fighter IV gameplay taken from Japan 's AOU Show 2008. The one I'm showing here is RYU vs. KEN.The game's graphics is really rich and fluid. While the games has 3-D elements, most of the gameplay is done still on the usual 2-D screen. Notice how the attacks (like the Hadouken) look really much cooler than its predecessors. If I would to buy a home arcade cabinet next time, Street Fighter IV will definitely be it.

Top Party Games for the Wii
2008-02-10 03:35:00
Planning to get some friends over but can't find something fun to do ?Then this list of top Wii party games is for you !1. WarioWare: Smooth MovesThis game is amazing and its probably the craziest game you'll ever play ! Packed with loads of hilarious mini games, requires you to do silly poses when you win the game, or pluck a nose in order to win a game and even dance. The story line is whacked. The gameplay is superb. Graphics is cool too with a mix of most 2d cel animation, some ugly 3-d stuff and even hand drawn graphics.Warioware make good use of the Wii-remote (called "form baton" in the game) and theres different ways that you could you used. Ways you never though possible. Forms such as the elephant where you put the wii-remote on your nose to pose like an elephant !You'll need to complete the game once though to unlocked the multiplayer mode. And multi player mode uses one Wii-remote and 2-12 players taking turnsWatch this to see what I'm talking about :You should prob...

Lost Odyssey - The game to watch out for in 2008
2008-02-08 21:41:00
Lost Odyssey is the latest Japanese RPG coming to the Xbox 360. You play a man callled Kaim, who have lived for 1000 years. Basically he has eternal life or some sort. The game's story revolves around the many generations of which Kaim is a part, his loves and losses and conflicts.The development of the game sees a gathering of famous Japanese developers. An all star team really. You have Hironobu Sakaguchi (creator of Final Fantasy) as game producer, Kiyoshi Shigematsu (award-winning Japanese novelist) doing the story, Takehiko Inoue (famous comic book artist, creator of Slam Dunk !) doing character design and Nobuo Uematsu (the veteran Final Fantasy music composer) doing his magic with the music.With all the big names in the industry, you can see how hard Xbox is trying to getting a foothold on the Japanese market with these RPGs.Lost Odyssey has already been released in Japan. While release days for North America is February 12, 2008 and Europe is February 29, 2008.For more info...

2008-02-07 09:09:00
With all the hype for the soon to be released 1.22 Patch going on, I decided to put up this unconfirmed change log, from mymym.com . Of course, this is just the unconfirmed changelog as discussion with the esports teams and all are still going on. But from what it looks like Night Elf, my fav. race (not because its imba), it's going to go down when the patch is released. No...the once cheap Dryads !!! Whatever the case is, it welcome the new patch and extra features (esports, tourneys) as players need to rework their strategies.Human-Tank will use 4 food instead of 3 and will give +25xp-flying machine flac cannon will cost 200g/175w instead of 100g/150w-masonry resarch wont increase human tower Hp, but towers will have 600 basic HP-Orb of fire splash damage changed: from +5 to 45% of hero's damage.Night Elf-Staff of preservation cost increased from 150 to 200, cooldown increased to 45sec-chimaera will use 7 food instead of 5-dryad will give +20% xp-effect of orb of venom and dryad...

Via Domus means the way home (LOST videogame trailer !)
2008-02-04 19:58:00
If you can't get enough of LOST, then you really gotta get this game. At first, I was kinda skeptical but looking at the trailer footage, I think LOST : Via Domus is an excellent game (superb graphics) that runs well together with the series. In the game, you play Elliott, a photojournalist with amnesia. With of course, all the original characters of LOST.Do check out the trailers below and keep in mind the released date 26 February 2008 for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.

Footmen Frenzy
2008-01-31 00:47:00
After playing DoTA and X Hero Siege for quite some time, it gets REAL boring. Another custom game that I'm currently into is Footmen Frenzy . Unlike Dota, Footmen frenzy has 4 teams and 3 players in a team, battling out at the center of the map. You still have a main hero with auto spawning footmen.Of course, those footmen can be upgraded to stronger units. The vary strategy on how to play this game which upgrades focusing on the heroes (buying powerful items), increasing unit stats or even pooling all the money to a single player.There are many many different version to Footmen Frenzy. In my opinion the most popular one is the Footmen Frenzy v5.2 -AR. If you looking for the map, you'll be able to download the latest ones from www.nohunters.com And here is a clip to see what I'm taking about :
