My apologies for the dark image, was using my phone camera.

Saw this at one of the cosplay shops in Singapore. Built looks good & solid but the design seems a bit off compared to the original.

If i had the space, wouldn’t mind hanging one of these up on the walls as house deco.

Yesterday on the way home with my girlfriend, we came upon a pigeon (above) which didn’t seem to be afraid of humans.  While my girl was playing around with it, a man came up to us and asked;

Man : “Excuse me, are you Mr. Khoo?”

I had a very strong urge to point him to the pigeon …

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
