Posted by miuki as Game Previews, Games, Invites, Xbox

I really got to get this entries moving along. 2 down 8 more to go!

Next title is none other then…

Ninja Gaiden II

Sigh. All that blood but none from me.

If given the opportunity to really get my hands dirty, I’d really like to ripe this game apart and tell you head to toes how and what makes it bleed. But, hey, boohoo for me. At least I had the opportunity to sit back, relax, and watch the presenter work the blades? [ Click here to read more ]

Posted by miuki as Game Previews, Games, Invites, Xbox

Here’s another take at the Xbox 360’s 2nd Birthday Party at The Screening Room on April 3, 2008.

Title no. 2 (out of the 10 that I’ve promised) is…

Alone in the Dark

Taking the fear to a whole new level, and giving more gory zombie slasher survival thriller goodness, the next gen Alone in the Dark features the macabre style of the series played with new gameplay mechanics and a broader-reaching, action-packed play style. Explore fully-interactive real-time worlds, interacting with physics and roaming the wide-open, fright-filled environments. [ Click here to read more ]

Resistance 2 - GTTV Exclusive Teaser HD

Posted by miuki as Game Previews, Games, PS3

Not much of an “exclusive” by now. Since almost ever other gaming site/blog out there has probably already put up the trailer.

Anyhow.

By now I hope you’ve had a chance to check out our most recent Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Now comes the so-called “exclusive” teaser trailer for Resistance 2 from Sony and of course, Insomniac.

As with most teaser trailers, it doesn’t give too much away, but it gives you a good idea of where Insomniac are going with the game. Huge environments, big battles, things exploding. You get the idea. [ Click here to read more ]

Xbox 360 Party: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Posted by miuki as Game Previews, Games, Invites, Xbox

I know I haven’t been updating much lately, exams were in place. But now, since my exams are over and I’m back in action (so to speak) yet again!

Anyhow.

After attending Xbox 360’s 2nd Birthday Party at The Screening Room on April 3, 2008 (3 days before my first paper), I feel the whole gaming spirit in me suddenly rushing out for some air.

We were given a sneak peek at 10 upcoming titles on the Xbox 360, and I’ve have to say that most, if not all, of them look delicious enough to eat! (Too bad I don’t have my own Xbox set yet though.)

10 titles is seriously a little overwhelming for one entry alone, so, for starters, I’m going to present to you…

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Here’s my favorite screenshot outta the 3 (there’s only 4 given to us anyway) that I’ve selected to present to you. [ Click here to read more ]

Hello Kitty Online: Closed Beta!

Posted by miuki as Games, PC

If only I could be the little girl in the image below…

Have I mentioned that Sanrio announced, roughly 2 weeks ago, that opening of it’s closed beta for the Hello Kitty Online MMORPG?

Guess not eh?

Duh. I only learnt about it today. Haha!

I remember signing up for information on this about a year ago now, but apparently they did away with the contact lists, because I didn’t receive notification at all.

Thank god I was totally bored and have nothing else interesting to write in this long-gone-outdated blog of mine. Otherwise, I’d probably not stumble upon this piece of information at all! *Phew*

Aloft to Open Hotel Inside Second Life

Posted by miuki as Second Life

This is way outdated I must say, but since the hotel isn’t exactly opened until September 2008. It is still new worth talking about.

In a gaming first Aloft Hotels is going to debut its new hotel online in Second Life before the actual bricks-and-mortar hotel opens in 2008.

In September, Second Life’s visitors will be able to enter an aloft hotel and interact with others as they get a sneak peek at the hotel before the first aloft opens its doors. Visitors can follow the development progress of building the 3-D virtual aloft hotel online via a companion weblog at virtualaloft.com. Each week the weblog will be updated with daily diary entries from the 3-D developers as they build the virtual hotel.

“The aloft brand is about providing an escape from the ordinary and reinventing everyday experiences,”

- said Brian McGuinness, Vice President of Aloft Brand Development. [ Click here to read more ]

WoW says: “Love Is in the Air”

Posted by miuki as World of Warcraft

Love is most definitely in the air.

After all, in 2 days times it’s Valentine’s Day eh?

Here’s a little something to shine some light to those that WoW all day.

According to WoW Insider:

Sharp-eyed tipster Aikiwoce spotted this dead ringer for a certain object that rhymes with “freighted D’Artagnan noob” outside the Stormwind gates, presumably as part of the “Love Is in the Air” holiday that kicked off today.

This was dated yesterday in case you’re wondering.

Sigh. If only Teddybear still plays World of Warcraft.

Anyhow. [ Click here to read more ]
