Resident Evil 5 Scores High

Resident Evil 5 has been reviewed already by a couple of magazines here and there and has been scoring big (hopefully it gets review averages as high as its predecessor). Here's a couple of the scores it got:

Empire Online: 5/5
Famitsu: 48/50
Gamepro: 4.5/5
OPM: 5/5

Everything about the game just screams quality to me (don't care what others say about the controls, they work perfect for me). If the campaign runs long enough and there's a good amount of things to unlock, I'll be playing this game for a long time once its in my hands ^^

Resident Evil 5 Leaked

Apparently, the retail version of Resident Evil 5 (Xbox 360) got leaked to the internets for all to download (if you know where to look that is). I'm pretty positive this leak came from the version that comes with the Limited Edition Red Xbox 360 (was spotted in stores a few days ago).

Bioshock 2 First Details

Looks like some new info was unearthed from the teaser site There's something in the Sea for the sequel to the hit 360/ps3 game.


According to details unearthed on the swanky flash site, the story revolves around the disappearance of a seven-year-old girl from a sleepy fishing town overlooking the coast.

The website states: "Local fisherman Eamon Clune, 44, and his wife Charlotte (32) were awoken by the sudden shattering of a window in the front room," adding, Moments later, his daughter Maura, age 7, screamed. Mr Clune rushed to investigate the noise only to notice the unknown attacker racing out of the broken window with 'incredible speed'”

"Due to the moonless night, Clune was unable to provide a description of the assailant. He notes that the attacker was thin, above average height and wore some kind of 'red light.'"


Read the rest here from Playstation Universe.

Bioshock had to be one of the best games I've played on the 360 so I'll be sure to keep an eye out for the sequel.

Star Ocean: The Last Hope US release

The much anticipated US release of the 360 RPG, Star Ocean: The Last Hope will be taking place tomorrow and damn, its good to have some new RPGs coming out for the system. Despite all the talk of sub-par resolutions, disc-swapping issues and some questionable differences between the US and import versions (I mean, why didn't they include an option to use the anime portraits? I'm sure a lot of fans would have appreciated this), its still my most anticipated game now other than Killzone 2 since RPGs are basically the genre the love the most.

Hopefully it lives up being a solid RPG since the 360's been dying for a good one from the genre (we are still a long way from FF 13).

Quake Live now Open!

Quake Live

You read that right folks. For all those who weren't able to snatch a beta key, ID is finally moving Quake Live from closed to open beta stage this Feb 24. There's a timer on the site (7 hours left here) so you know when to start fragging online.

For those of you living under a rock, Quake Live is basically Quake 3 online with some fixes here and there, running straight in you web browser (IE and Firefox for now I believe), all for free! I was able to get into the beta a month or 2 ago and it definitely is Quake 3 in all its glory. Only problem was the missing servers here in Asia, which meant hellish ping times for me (3-second delay anyone?). Hopefully, the people behind this amazing app realize this and put out servers here so we can start joining in as well.

F.E.A.R. 2

Just got my hands on the latest installment to the FEAR series (xbox 360 version) and I'm having a blast with it! It's no Killzone 2 that's for sure, but it still holds up if you ask me. I'll get a review up as soon as I'm done saving my ass from that freaky psychic Alma.

New Trailers Out Now: Resident Evil 5 & God of War 3

Such a wonderful day it is today eh? Over at this part of the Earth, it's Valentines already and I'm about to spend quality time with my girlfriend today to go see some hot air balloons take off to skies near here ^^. Before we leave though, give me 5 minutes to post up info on some new trailers for the up coming Resident Evil 5 and God of War 3 games.

To be honest, I wasn't all that impressed with the God of War one. Mostly because it just looks like a higher-res version of God of War 2. It's still pretty much a year away though, so the developers should have enough time to get this game looking much better. Resident Evil 5 on the other hand looks just as stunning as ever. I don't know what sort of magic Capcom has under their crazy multiplatform engine, but it's doing wonders with this game.

Anyway, the trailers can be found at gamersyde.com or just follow the links below to go directly to each one:

And with that, I'm off to my date. Hope you guys have a wonderful Valentines Day too :)
