Still Solid And Going

Published by CrashWire 1 year, 11 months ago in Gaming. 4 Comments

It’s been a long time for updates, but hey, busy weeks and a general lack-of-gaming mood do take their toll on people. And of course, the World Cup.

I don’t watch the World Cup, but I’ve been drawn into its whirlpool by having to do stuff about it. Soccer video games anyone?

Winning Eleven, FIFA, Football Manager… And hey, try the newly-released Sensible Soccer for something different.

In other news, it seems like the PlayStation 2 is still outselling the Xbox 360 over in the United States. Not surprising, considering the different price points. Perhaps when the PlayStation 3 is launched with that crazy-insane price point of theirs that we’ll have a more accurate comparison on how many hardcore gamers buy either console.

And then there is the DS Lite, which has been released in the US. Heads up, people. It’s selling for less than $250 here if I got my prices right, which means that unless you really, really want your local warranty (which incidentally doesn’t cover dead pixels these days) and local power adapter, it’s time to move into the Lite era.

In fact, with my speculation of the local launch price, go get the US set anyway. Or wait another twelve days for the local set to be launched. Yes baby, 25 June.

I’m still going to wait for my preciousss black.

2006 April Fools’ Roundup

Published by CrashWire 2 years, 1 month ago in Gaming. 0 Comments

Every year on that faithful day, I’ll get tricked some way or another. And then I’ll not realize it was an April Fools’ joke until someone tells me. And I get disappointed.

So for all of you, the following links are all not true, unless the reverse psychology doesn’t work and it turns out to be an innocent, true-blue announcement that just happened to fall on that day or a couple of days before (as many would set to make the joke appear more believable).

For starters, here’s something from one of the most popular game sites these days, GameSpot. Heh, a round-up of the top ten Final Fantasy games of all time… without any of the main games except Final Fantasy VIII in it.

An amusing and fairly realistic read, for sure. Until you start wondering where Final Fantasy VII or V or VI or XI are. There was another piece on the World of StarCraft, but I couldn’t find it. So duh, no links.

From the Blizzard side, we have your new Alliance race for World of WarCraft. Just like the Two-Headed Ogres last year, Blizzard introduces elements of gameplay that would be really creative if implemented, but alas, are just for the day.

But there’s the patch notes for version 1.11 for the World of WarCraft enthusiasts. Funny, but what’s all that about Mac users? Bleh.

I wouldn’t mind opening a BurgerCraft franchise in Singapore. A true gamers’ cafe, that’s what it will be.

Here’s something about Sony cancelling the PlayStation 3. O-M-F-G, you say. It even comes with a realistic (sans anti-phishing browsers) press release.

Talking about the PlayStation 3, here’s something to counter the above. Yes, Grand Theft Auto: Chicago. Imagine doing all your erm… playing on the streets of Chicago!
