My recent purchase of a PlayStation Portable hasn’t stopped me from spending extended periods of time with my Nintendo DS. Admittedly, there were a couple of weeks that I played the PSP nonstop, but this was because of its sheer novelty than anything else.
DS vs. PSP - the debate continues.

There’s good news and bad news on the first-person shooter front. If you’ve forgotten about The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay, then it’s time you start remembering. According to a succinct post by the site admin over at Starbreeze Studios’ forums, the movie-to-game adaptation’s current-gen version (renamed The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena) is “just about done.”
The next Chronicles of Riddick would have updated visuals.

Cabal Online is the latest MMORPG from the IP E-Games fold. It was launched last June 21, but it was only last week that I found enough time to get knee-deep in the new virtual world. I may not have experienced log-in woes (**cough Dekaron cough**), but my first impression wasn’t as good either.

If you’re to believe what happened, Sony has just released the PlayStation 3 in Malaysia. Yes, they’re late by almost two years. What’s even more unbelievable was the music that Sony decided to play while Sony Malaysia’s managing director Naoi Sudo was being called to the stage.

Remember that problem I had when downloading the PS3 demo for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed? Yes, it took forever. Well, the download was finally accomplished last weekend. To make the most out of the effort, I plowed through the demo several times.

Who doesn’t love swimmer Michael Phelps? Well, the silver medalists that he beat in the 2008 Olympics probably aren’t too crazy about him, but you have to admit that Phelps was fun to watch. Apparently, the swimmer’s bling and hero status wasn’t enough to get an advanced copy of Call of Duty: World at War.

The gates of Dekaron have opened once more. This time, more people enter the mobiusgames-published MMORPG as its open beta test begins. We could only hope that lessons were learned during the previous closed beta test. One could not help but wonder at what the new challenges this open beta test may bring.
