Visit Playstation Malaysia Store on 5th February 2010
Kanasai 2 months ago, I bought Flower™ from Playstation® Store at Rm42. That game was the best game ever, won SpikeTV Video Games 2009 award. So long story short, Today i receive an email from Playstation Network Malaysia, an announcement of 50% price cut, Flower™ included, and its now RM21 starting this Friday. 1 word "KANASAI" episode 2.
Few months ago 1 week prior to the release of Tekken™ 6, I bought Tekken™ 5: Dark Resurrection PS3 at RM120, 1 week later in conjunction with Tekken™ 6 release, price cut to RM80 permanently.
games to get :
Magic Ball RM21
Toy Home RM16
Noby Boy RM09
Bomberman RM21
Total RM67... tinggal RM1 at my wallet after this... wow

Into Retro Gaming
Can't believe it, its been 12 long years since I bought PlayStation. It was January 1997, I got myself my first PS1 console (RM850). Well, I started gaming since NES back in 1990.
Long story short, last week, I've been cleaning up my old PS1 CD games and found out 20% has bad sectors. So I backed up most of the CD (about 30 games) onto my External Hard Drive using a software call ISOBuster.
Well, later on, I use a software call Simple Popstation GUI 3 to convert the ISO into PSP readable format. Now I Relive The glory of PS1 with my PSP.
Here's the list currently on my PSP (You might not know the title, but they were hits back in 90's):

- Porsche Challenge (SCEE's racing game, great graphic)
- Tekken 3 ( no need to explain this ultra good game)
- Raystorm (3D Macross like top scrolling shooter)
- Tobal 2 ( Squaresoft's finest Fighting game)
- Ridge Racer 4
- Alien Trilogy ( last time play this game whole day)
- Crash Bandicoot 3 ( NDi's landmark game)
- Mortal Kombat Trilogy
- Driver (pioneer of sandbox 3D action games)
- Nascar Rumble (grandpa of Burnout)

Maki Horikita
Recently after watching Atashinchi no Danshi, the main actress Horikita Maki has captured my heart. She's versatile and can act in any role (comedy role is the best). She was in Galileo (Episode 6) and though that didn't appeal me, her role in Nobuta Wo Produce with co-star Kamenashi Kazuya, really amazing. If you goggle her image you'd find lots of gravure photo of her. I hope Shida Mirai and her act together in a movie, coz both of them are great actresses, sort of younger version of Nakama Yukie.

Max Payne or Pain?
Being a hardcore fan of Max Payne 1 & 2 PC game, I went to watch Max Payne on its premiere day, well, let's say the cinema (GSC) is 10-15 peoples in one theater, the best environment to enjoy a movie, not those noisy hand phone ringing TGVs.
OK, to the point. Max Payne is a videogame that inspired by detective drama with noir kinda feel. so its like a movie based on a game that mimic movie style storytelling. When you watch the movie if you are playing the game, you will notice the similarity, the style, the music and the acting. In the game, we get the comic art (like Sin City type) slideshow cutscene with balloon dialog. Bear in mind, this game made bullet-time famous with to Matrix. But as much as I hope this feature in the movie, I dislike it. Its like they purposely did the bullet-time to please the gamer audience. They place the effect in the most wrong timing. Second is the storyline, you venture into deep dark secret of detective Max, from flashbacks to narration of his colleagues. And there is one thing i expect to see but disappointed, in the 2nd game, When Max is hospitalized and UI, we get to feel the drousiness and the screen is like our mabuk vision. Instead, after Max took the Valkyr liquid, he's like Mario after getting the Star.
But then my review is based on a hardcore Max Payne fan point of view. I don't know bout non fans, I hope they enjoy as much as I am. Nevertheless I give this movie.... 7.5/10 score
and also we don't need Ludacris' IA character, pretty much nothing useful in the movie storyline.

My Xbox Xperience
Before I post it, let me copy paste my past blog bout Xbox found in zorpia:
the Xbox love
Sunday,Mar 18 2007, 03:38:09 AM
Where is the Xbox love?
The most anticipated console has arrived, the Microsoft Xbox 360. If you haven’t heard of Xbox, it’s Okay, probably you heard of PS2. That is what’s happening to non gaming community they know what PS2 is but never notice Xbox. What makes the poor Xbox gotten so little attention? Games variety. PS2 obviously spanning more choice of software than Xbox. Though some might argue PS2’s are way better games than Xbox360, they are slightly wrong. Xbox an American hardware geared more towards western style games, while PS2 Japanese/Asian style. Xbox just happen to dropped on wrong country, Malaysia .
Do you know Xbox was originally called “DirectX-Box” and like many Malaysian, I was skeptical about the big black box larger than a VCR. Guess what, it was Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind that capture my attention, the RPG game that inspire me wanting Xbox. This VCR sized console happens to have a great controller design, Music ripping, and the graphic are way better than PS2 (Xbox water effects & polygon texture are high-res). Still if you compare Need for Speed Most Wanted, you’ll notice PS2 version looked cartoon, Xbox version look almost realistic.
Xbox was underrated. No, this is not fanboy speaking, I do have PS2 & PSP even DS. This is just because I was wrong about Xbox.
At first I thought of skipping Xbox360 to go for PS3, but then it was the value of Xbox that I experience brought me into buying Xbox360. Believe me, it is not bad at all. Considering the detail of 3D, I still jaw drop every time I play Gears of War and Elder Scrolls 4 : Oblivion.

my Microsoft Xbox experience
Monday,Nov 28 2005, 02:44:57 AM
Xbox 360 is out now... soon will be in Malaysia... I hope.
I had a bit disliking of Xbox since its 1st launch, due to the controller & some part I felt they’re copying Dreamcast console. Well then I felt like say, “PS2 Fan-boy”. PS2 was my only next-gen console back then (previously own Sega Dreamcast & PS1), so I & my friends always argue which console is better… their GameCube or Xbox or my PS2…
Then came Halo & Project Gotham Racing 2 (Xbox), played it at friend’s house & got attached, Project Gotham Racing 2 is visually stunning, looks photorealistic & gameplay is solid. So I went straight to buy Xbox & starts appreciate its features… It doesn’t hv big game library as PS2 does, but most of their games are pretty high in quality & replay values. If you are skeptic bout Microsoft’s Xbox, go ahead & give it a try, maybe u’ll love it.
And now in 2008, here's what i say....
Lost my Xbox360 1 year ago, due to thunder strike short circuited it. I think I spend around RM1999 for the game console. The thing is, now everyone thought i will get a PS3 straight, no I say. Think about it, the recent Malaysia PS3 price RM1999 full package, if add the HDMI cable bout RM170, and then upgrade my modem to wireless oso around RM200+ and upgrade my streamyx speed... add all up its like a wow, should I spend that much, after all, gaming is not my priority. I only interested in PS3 because, its a cheap Blu Ray player with videogame console, satu tembak, 2 burung kena. So this, I have to wait Blu Ray disc turun harga which i give until next year. With the current inflation and economy downturn, I have to think 10 times before i buy.
Let me tell u what i learn from past, You can't eat can't sleep thinking of the console u mahu beli, everyday you daydream and then when you decided you should buy it, you go. You evade massive traffic, run up the store, find parking, shove off crowd, then you pay. When you got home you play the stuff like a caveman with drumstick. At the same time while playing, there's one thing cross your mind : " Now that I have it, so? then? " what's the big deal? You will feel regret, that is why you treat the machine like Gollum with Ring. Its not to say I didn't enjoy, I've had fun and it does bring lots of good memory. Just that RM1999 just gone, because I off & didnt unplug it, and thunder strike while I at work. Anyway thats just me now, not the hardcore guy rush to buy console like there's no tomorrow.
