Why can’t we get a controller like this one? Nintendo released a Wii version of our Nintendo’s 16 bit gamepad. I wonder if we will ever find the same love here in our country.
Anyway, you can see or read (if you can read Japanese) more about this on Inside Games.
So far I haven’t been playing any new games. After playing Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, I really had more time playing other games that I missed playing.
Here’s an update on the World Cyber Games (WCG) / Asian Cyber Games (ACG) for 2008. For console gaming, the Philippine team will be looking for players on the Xbox 360 platform and these are the games:
After a few months of waiting, the third issue that I worked on has now been released. I was wondering what happened and if was even going to be released since I finished the magazine since December for a January release. I did mention “happy new year” on the message I wrote there.
I was invited to demonstrate Harmonix/EA’s RockBand while representing GameHopper on the show called Unang Hirit. It was shown yesterday morning. It was an interesting experience, since on stage it all went wrong. I don’t know if it went well on screen. Hehe.
I was surprised to see that Stephen King had to say something about video games. Read up if you know what he thinks about Video games and violence. It’s a good read for us gamers.
EW’s pop-culture columnist peels away the hypocrisy a Massachusetts proposal to ban sales of violent games to minors, another attempt by politicians to act as surrogate parents that he says is not only doomed to fail, but is undemocratic to boot.

I played Final Fantasy VII during the PSOne days, but I tasted only a little of it on the console. I did manage to play more of it on the PC version, and even though I wasn’t that impressed with the visuals because of the cutscenes were made for the TV and the PC pixelates them because of the higher resolution, I enjoyed playing FF7. I saw Advent Children too, a better movie because it ties nicely as Final Fantasy movie than Spirits Within. Too bad I missed Dirge of Cerberus and Before Crisis, but from what I hear, it seems like I didn’t miss much. Now Final Fantasy has Crisis Core, this tells the story of Zack, a character which is regularly mentioned in FF7 but you really doesn’t get to play. He plays a big part of the FF7 story line and this is where it clears up how and why things have happened.
I can’t say how much I was excited to see Transformers the movie, even with a light tone to the story, the action was enough for me to enjoy every moment of it. Now hearing news of a new sequel coming up is painful because I can’t wait to see how it goes. The site mentions interesting new transformers… ones we hoped to see last time around, and some casting.

Nintendo has been hyping their exclusive fighter for some time now. Especially with Konami’s Metal Gear hero, Snake and Sega’s famous mascot, Sonic. A lot of Nintedo games are excited to get their hands on SSBB, it was a bit hard to relate since I haven’t played any version until this one. What does this appeal to me? Why was I excited? Fortunately I have a Wii and I can rent and borrow games this time around. It makes gaming a lot easier and cheaper. Anyway, I was excited especially with Snake on board and it would be nice to see Mario kicking Snake out of the arena.
