The new PS3 Slim is scheduled to be out in September 2009, which is about 10 days from now. Slimmer body, reduced power consumption and a nice price tag, there is no reason not to pick this a PS3 if you haven’t already.

For myself I will give it a pass. Lately my Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii have been pretty under-utilized. Adding another console to the current situation would be a waste. Having said that, I will probably rush out to get one if Square-Enix suddenly announce the release of Kingdom Hearts 3.

So what are your thoughts on the new PS3 slim? Will you buy it on the day of release? Or just stick with the current fatty PS3.

Cast your votes on my poll located on the right of the page sidebar. Love to know what you guys think.

Edit : apparently there’s some bug with the polling plug-in. Will try to get it fixed asap.

This video pretty much summarizes the differences between the old and the new remake for the Xbox 360.

To be honest with you all, I almost wanted to throw my controller out of the window when playing Re-Shelled. Gameplay is confusing (heck 80% of the time I have no idea what my turtle is doing), boss fights are just plain nuts and God … what the hell happen to the music???

The above video is showing Resident Evil 4 running on the Apple iPhone. Apparently this is an accidental leak by Japan’s AppBank (App Store). The game doesn’t appears to be a fake as Leon’s animations corresponded with the thumb movements.

More reasons for gamers to get the iPhone / iPod Touch hmmm?

Remakes of a classic game is like a double edge sword; It could turn out to be really awesome,  even surpassing the original or it could end up to be a total burn out.

One of my favourite games of all times, TMNT Turtles in Time has gone through the route of upgrading itself, hoping to be a part of the high definition elite pioneers. The good folks at GameVideos threw in a nice comparison video showing both the past and present.

Here are my thoughts after watching the video;

• They retained the original feel of the music, which is a huge plus plus for me.
• Gameplay remains unchanged. Still the good old hack, slash and slam-o.
• Graphics … Well I just wished they used cel shaded (ala Tales of Vesperia style) instead of 3D. Feels like I’m moving a clay model around the screen -_-”

Regardless I can’t judge the game until I played it. I’m crossing my fingers that Ubisoft will follow the SNES version instead of the arcade. I mean, fighting Super Shredder in hardest mode is totally mind blowing

After God knows how long, I finally made a new banner, featuring the upcoming versus game Blazblue by Arc System Works (Guilty Gear).
