Retro Gaming : Playstation (PS1)
Ever since putting behind the PS1 in the closest to make way for PS2, I never thought I would go back and replay all those old games again. I mean …. why would I? The PS2 has better graphics (still acceptable today) and tons of awesome titles that’s probably enough to keep even new buyers busy before moving on to the PS3. If you look at the Japanese sales chart, you will see that PS2 is still... read more

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Asia Version
I could really get used to courier shipping; shipped out yesterday and today the Crisis Core orders arrived at my place at around 10am. Kudos to UPS for making the brief delivery.

The machine I played has one huge LCD monitor, with two players on the same side. There are also slots for players to slot in... read more

Crisis Core Shipping Out Early from Play-Asia
I consider myself as an impatient person. Knowing that China released Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 (English language) a week earlier than the actual schedule, I just had to find a way to get my hands on it as soon as possible. 25th March seems to be slow in getting here and even then, game shops wouldn’t have the game in stocks until a few days after the official release date. I would be lucky if I... read more
