New Games to look out for

I was checking my calender and realize that there are quite a few games that will be making their debut or have already made their debut this few days. They varies from puzzle game, to shooting game to games that are just plain interesting.

One of the games that I am looking forward to but will not have the chance to sample at all would be Halo 3. What with finishing the fight and all that craziness, I will be avoiding all major gaming website and also few selected major game store, then I will go home and hide in a dark corner until all this passes.

In the mean time,There are quite a lot of Halo 3 Goodies coming out together with the Halo 3 launching.

Click HERE for all the Halo 3 Goodieness and also HERE for exclusive HALO 3 Limited Edition.

Just so that I don't get excessive screaming from Zorocaster for Plagarism, there are also a few games that I would like to highlight here which I am looking forward to play. Some I have played too and would like to introduce it to you guyz.

They are as followed

My Sims DS - Already played it. The graphic is nice the gameplay is slightly a bit animal crossing like but hey, its SIMS!

Prims: Light The Way - A very interesting puzzle game which requires player to bounce light against mirror, through color block and also through prism block. Very addictive. I played it and it got a Snapped Approved seal on it.

Sonic Rush Adventure - A good attempt to include RPG into the game. All the good Sonic Rush element is retained in the game, while more goodies are added into it. Minigames such as sailing, gem collecting, path finding through sea and shooting enemy via screen tapping are but some of the gem in game. A must for all sonic fans. Another Snapped Snapped Approved for this!

The Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - How can I forget about Zelda! I mean, there are only 7 more days before the launch of the game! I know some of you already pre-ordered it. Me, I will wait for some poor soul to sell of his copy in a month time.

Digimon World: Dawn & Dusk - I have played this, I have heard from others and we all came to a consensus, the game are worth it. what with two different storyline working hand in hand with monster that are more refined and interesting, this game is good. Get it if you are a digimon fan!

Pre-Order Gifts:The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

9 more days till the launching of The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass . For those that have yet to preorder this game, I would suggest to do so now. And if you are from australia then Lucky you! Preorder The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass from EBGAMES Australia and you will be given a free golden aluminium case with zelda logo on it! No extra charge! Only Preorder!

Me? I am gonna sit tight and wait for some guy to sell his copy. What with the amount of people buying this game, there is bound to be one or 2 second hand copy out for cheap in a month or so :D

Nintendo DS Lite Brain Age 2 Bundle - 110V

Well what do you know.. The Brain Age 2 Bundle is finally out. And at quite a reasonable price too. Retailling at US 199.90, thats RM 703.55 for malaysian, the price of the whole special bundle is reasonable. In fact, looking at the included accesoric and colour combination, I dare say that this set is a steal. Let's do a simple calculation

Brain Age 2 Game = RM 150

Leather Pouch = RM 55

Limited Edition NDSL = RM 500

Bear in mind that i am using this as an example of the pricing only

If I were to calculate it ala Sungai Wang or Retailer pricing, this is what we will get

Brain Age 2 Game = RM 160

Leather Pouch = RM 70

LIMITED Edition NDSL = RM 700

Thats easily RM 930, so if you wanted to get an NDSL, I would suggest getting it now, and this bundle is worth every penny

Death Note Non Scale Painted PVC Figure

This is a nicely designed Death Note Figure. Although it is in Chibi form, the look on Light Chibi face is more Sinister then Adult Light. They also have Flying Ryuk in Chibi form. Too bad they did not have Misa, L and Near. I don't like the rest of the character :P

Death Note Non Scale Painted PVC Figure - Nendoroid Ryuk

SHIAT!

Remember this post HERE?

Well apparently I did not watch THAT space diligently enough because its sold out in less then 8 hours. Yeap. First they put a PRE-ORDER opening soon. I went to sleep and when I woke up the next day I get a big red OUT OF STOCK stamped on my face. WHAT THE HELL!

And I wasn't even the only one that was caught off guard. A friend of mine which wanted to buy that also discovered the same crap when he woke up. SIGH! Well, I found another place that sell it. YESASIA.

But don't bother because they are selling the damn thing DOUBLE the price! GAH! I think I am gonna sulk in the corner. Sigh

Taiko no Tatsujin DS

Lots of raving review. Most say this is a good game, I say its a good deal. And do you know why?

The game cost the same as every other hot games. But it also gives you 2 extra "cute" stylus to play the game with. Personally, I would say this is an added value. If you like rhythm game such as EBA, Ouendan and Nodame Cantible. You might want to give Taiko no Tatsujin a look.

But there is also a problem when playing this game. Both your hand would be holding a stylus, your DS would have to be left on its own device on a desk. I own a Play Stand DS Lite which is a handy tool to hold your DS on display or to hold your DS when you are playing a game such as Taiko no Tatsujin. Check it out

Animal Crossing DS Stylus

Animal Crossing DS Stylus
I missed the first batch of Animal Crossing DS Stylus featuring Tom Nook and Crazy Redd. 2 of my favourite character. It's too bad that this time around they are not featuring them in the stylus.

There are 6 available character. Frankly I can only name 3 of them. What about you guys?
The Stylus will be available on October. Do make your preorder now. It is well known any Animal Crossing related item gets out of stock fast.

Harry Potter Carrefour Rush!

ITS P DAY! Aye, A lot of kids and adults are screaming in delight or Anguish depending on whats happening to them. And yes, Today is POTTER day!

2 thing first.

Carrefour and Tesco decided to sell the FINAL Harry Potter book at a 40 ringgit discount to consumer. Aye, They are selling it at RM69.90. Thats 20 USD FYI. Anyway, This of course created quite a huge uproar among the 4 retailer. MPH, Popular, Times and Harris bookstores. They have decided to not sell the Last Harry Potter book as a show that they are not marking up the price to RM109 on purpose. Kudos to them you say.

I say they just shot themselves in the foot. 7 times too. As you can see, Kinokuniya and Borders are continuing to sell it. Carrefour and Tesco does not feel the sting at all. The ONLY person that got affected is the readers itself. Not a smart move.

Read more about it HERE.

2ndly

I woke up at 6.30 this morning, confident that no one will be lining up at the Carrefour in Sri Petaling. Reaching there at around 6.50, my confident was further reinforced with the lack of car there. I was screaming in joy and silently celebrating my small victory.

Boy, was I ever so wrong.

No biggie, I calmed down and lined up. And for the 2nd time in that day, I am confident that all this will proceed calmly and orderly. Meh, I was wrong again. And this is what happened next

1) The shutter opened
2) The auntie and uncle in the front Sprinted across the first 6 feet into the entrance, rolled under the still opening shutter, Jumped up ala Jacky Chan style and sprinted for the Harry Potter book!
3)Orderly line was gone, everyone was running at this point
4) Grab the book and line up at the counter again after some treasure hunt inside Carrefour. ( They kept the book in some obscure place)
5) I was prepared to fling a bottle of Red Bull at the first person that screamed " I GOT THE BOOK", Thankfully the projectile stay in my bag and they left the scene unscathed.
6) You know who got the first book and paid for it? An Auntie. A very OLD auntie. I guess all those jogging helps huh.
Thats a LONG Queue...
Everyone is either eagerly flipping through the book or trying to look as normal as possible
Check out the Queue !
Anyway, The first 100 person that bought the book will be able to get a free gift. I was fully prepared for some funky Harry Potter style paper bag or something. But... Let's just say today is Not my day.






Nice bag is a good start to nice stuff.. Right? NOT!
A colouring book and a Pen! WTF
At Least this one is nice

Pre-Order Free Gifts

After a draught of over 2 months from all the Hyped out cool games. A week from now, there will be none stop launching of games for the next 1 month or so. Which is very bad for people with little budget like me.

To pull in more sales, games are now starting to give Pre-Order Gifts bundled with the game. 2 of the more noticeable games are

Subarashiki Kono Sekai: It's a Wonderful World



Which comes with a miniature kitten to called Pochi a stuffed cat that plays into Shiki Misaki's (IAWW's female lead) special attack (quoted from DSfanboy)

Taiko no Tatsujin DS

Which comes with not 1 but 2 Taiko Stylus for the game. Pretty cool item. Not really that pretty though.

It's A Wonderful World Sound Track

What with the impending launching of the game in about 6 days time, Lets start the count down with some Funky Soundtrack from the game itself!

Time to preorder. Dont u think?

Animal Crossing Plush Doll

Remember the summer sales? It was not THAT long ago. Around a week ago? Anyway. During that time, I helped a friend of mine to purchase the Animal Crossing Plushie. He has been going berserk with buying plushie here and there. And no, It's not for his GF. Read HERE to know more

I am currently holding both his plushie due to the fact that he is too far from me to pass it to him. And you would really have to believe this. He have been pestering me for picture of the Plushie for the past *check calender* 4 days. Yeap, he is that anxious to find out how they look. So here they are, in all their glories!

Animal Crossing Plush Doll - Model C (Tom Nook)

Animal Crossing Super DX Plush Doll 2: Mr. Resetti


Tom Nook looks so sad..
Gah! Its Mr Resseti! He has found me!

Zelda: Phantom Hourglass US Box Art

That would be the possible boxart for the upcoming Zelda Phantom Hourglass DS. Its a bit less kiddish then the Japanese version but boy, I love the brown background with a huge dark looming ship. Makes the game looks a bit darker and mysterious doesn't it?

The Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass will be out on the 1st of October 2007.

I have already left the game in my shopping cart at Play-Asia. How about you?

Boxart taken from Nintendo-Online

It's A Wonderful World

You see that space up there? I am watching it very closely as any moment now it will change to THIS and I will be getting that if its decent set of item :D

I am really really interested in this game. I have no idea why. Maybe its the graphic, maybe its the team behind this whole game development but It's A Wonderful World or Subarashiki Kono Sekai is something that I have paid huge attention to since it was announced and tonight I found a supposed DS Box Art of it

NICE !

I also found a HUGE amount of screen shot about this game. Because readers like Picture more then words, so.. here we go!

Pokemon Pearl and Diamond OUT Now!

As my week start off at a new job, I anxiously await the day I can start doing some real "A&P" work. But apparently to others there are more important things that work. For example. The launched of Pokemon Pearl and Diamond.

As for those that are eagerly awaiting the Pokemon Pearl and Diamond version. Wait no more as Play-Asia now carries them. If you are fast enough, you might be able to get a copy before it runs out.

Head over to Play-Asia for Pokemon Pearl and Pokemon Diamond

p/s: My Chocobo is here!!!

Pikachu VS Chocobo

What with the recent sales of Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales hitting the shores on most places already and Pokemon Diamond / Pokemon Pearl hitting the shores on the 22nd of April some might be saving the money to get pearl and diamond instead of Chocobo. Personally I have already pre-ordered my Chocobo Tales and waiting it to be delivered from Play-Asia.

The scores for Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales has been slightly misgiving when it was earlier reviewed but apparently the scores lately have been quite high if I may say so.

Below are quoted from various website for Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales

GN (83/100) doesn't want the presentation to fool you, the game is fun for older gamers: "The game might feel a bit "kiddy" in its focus, what with those great, big, cute Chocobo eyes peeking at you from the box art. But even though the idea might skew young, the product is surprisingly enjoyable for the older crowd."

GamePro (80/100) finds the game to be a melting pot of good ideas: "Chocobo Tales is about quick and easy fun. The Crayola art style, pop-up book style graphics and fable stories may make it seem like a kiddie title and technically, it is. However, the game is fun enough that and packed with enough nods to diehard fans that Final Fantasy fans of all ages should give it a look.

EGM though seems to be a bit harsh on Chocobo Tales with a score of Chocobo Tales - 6.0/6.5/6.5

As for Pokemon though, Nintendo has released a new Commercial to hype up the whole Poke Craze Fans ( As if it needed help anymore). I have slight doubt about this game as the whole concept haven't changed for the past 10 years. But I might just get it just to show that I am a good Nintendo boy too :D

Included is a YouTube Video of the said commercial. Enjoy!
