Ghostbusters

Finally got myself a copy!

Stay Puft Marshmallow Man

Virtua Tennis 2009

Got this today.

Terminator Salvation

Watched the movie, played the game & platinum trophy it. To sum this (mediocre) game up: repetitive combat, short length and lacks replayability.

My rating - 6/10

inFAMOUS & PoP

Gaming is my sickness really. Went to collect my inFAMOUS pre-order this afternoon and while I was there, I pick up Prince of Persia as well. Really gotta control my gaming spending - I've bought 5 PS3 games (sold Godfather II) this month!

Vin Diesel is Wheelman

I've been deprived of my gaming time since my audit peak. Now that I'm in reservist (not so high-key anyway), decided to get this movie-like game and spend some weekday nights gaming.

Impreza WRX STi

my in-game ride & dream car to get

inFamous - Hero vs Evil

Some guys over @ the forum was kind enough to share the inFamous demo that was not available from Asia PSN. Played the demo and was blew away by it to justify a purchase for me.

Some stupid cam shots while I was "climbing"...


This sandbox superhero adventure will be coming out on 26th this month. Can't wait.

Ferrari Challenge

My Play-Asia parcel finally arrived! It took 6 working days from date of (free) shipment. Good enough for me.



It's a US Region 1 title, which means I should not have any problems with getting any future DLCs (Downloadable Content).

Game bought, games sold

Sold Mercenaries 2 and The Godfather II today to fellow GAX members. I bought Godfather II 2 weeks ago and managed to complete and platinum trophy it 2 days back.

Overall, I would rate it 7/10. Take over rackets, control crime rings as you progress, kill rival families and their made men. The Don's view within the game provides sort of an overview for that area you're in - New York, Florida and Cuba, so you can strategise your next move.

The main objective of Godfather II is to take over businesses and run rival families out of town. Once they are being shut down, the final step is to storm their families' compound, and kill them once and for all with a demolition charge Being a sandbox style game, it's not too hardcore for my liking. All in all, it's a rather fun experience and i managed to clock in 26hrs 47mins 35sec (according to my game save record). Oh, for those gunning for the platinum trophy, be sure to clear all the execution style before you reach Cuba ;)

Still waiting for my Ferrari Challenge (Region 1) that was shipped by PlayAsia on 6th May.

Mercenaries 2

Chanced upon this great sale item @ Hereen HMV today. I've gotta say at S$ 24.95, this has got to be my cheapest PS3 game (less those I've bought from PS Network) ever bought, considering the normal price of a PS3 game cost between $68 - $89. Like any other seasoned shopper, I wouldn't give up such as great bargain right?

Ice Cream, Donuts & Sackboy

Udders Ice Cream. Had no idea that Mike was gonna bring me & Phyllis here but I would rather he treat us instead ha ha. Never heard of this place before. It's along Thomson Road, near Novena MRT. Gotta say it's a nice little cosy place and their liqueur-flavored ice creams taste great. I ordered the Orange Choc Bitters & Tira-miss-u, serving on a waffle. I'm so coming back again.

Am also a sucker for all things donuts. My fav was from Donut Factory but since I was at Plaza Singapura, decided to get from Missy Donuts instead of heading to Suntec for Donut Factory.

Donuts!

Last but not least, something cute to complete the day. Finally decided to buy Little Big Planet and see what the fuse is all about. Though not Mario, a google search revealed that Sackboy is popular in it's own right.

PS3 Official Bluetooth Headset

Left office @ around 5.45pm, the earliest in the past 3 mths I think. Since I had time to burn, decided to shop around and managed to hoot this slick looking PlayStation 3 Official Bluetooth Headset.

Had been thinking of buying this since it was announced that this headset would be bundled with Socom: Confrontation. I just bought the headset w/o the bundle coz Socom for the PS3 did not really interest me coz it's only mulitplayer online + read couple reviews that the server is not really that stable, only like 7 maps available and overall, the game got bad-average review.

I've paired and play around with it for a bit and honestly very satisfied with it. My initial review:
- fast & easy to pair with my PS3
- paired with my Nokia E71, no issue so far
- sound quality is suberb
- doesn't take long to charge
- doubled as a desktop mic when in cradle (also while charging)
- High-Quality (HQ) mode (which works only on PS3) offers noise cancellation. Good feature especially when having a chat in-game when ur team-mates
- Also, PS3 displays info such as connection status, battery level and speaker volume level.

I should be using this exclusively for my PS3 gaming.

Some updates + Killzone 2

Last day of the month, Saturday.
I was at client's place since morning to go thru' outstanding issue and to sort out the financial statement since morning till ard 6pm. Really sucks to work full day on a sat instead of my usual sat routine of waking up late, slack, gaming, chill out and/or watching soccer wif frens while having couple of ice cold beers.

Feeling damn tired today coz i reach home around 2am and felt asleep on the couch only to wake up this morning and head off to client's place. Which is why my shoulder n neck hurts the whole day.

Oh, have to mention this. Went to Marina @ Keppel Bay last night (my first time there) to chill with my fellow auditors. Everything - the clubhouses, atmosphere,etc looks and feels classy, romantic and relaxing. We settled for our dining and chilling session at this area (i think it's called prive or something) which is like damn relaxing and romantic tho' a little too dark for my preference.

Back to today. I finally managed to collect my Killzone 2 preorder that was released 2 or 3 days ago. This next big thing after Street Fighter IV. Seriously no time to head down to the shop to collect coz ppl close shop around 9pm, but I'm like working till 11 or 12am this past week. Good thing the shop reserved my copy for me, being a regular customer. Good deal, good price, good customer rapport + free poster!


Actually, all thanks to Steph and Mag jio-ing for dinner n movie just when I was bout to leave client's place for home. Sleep deprived lately. Wanted to watch The Legend of Chun-Li but not released yet. I blame Yahoo! SG Movie site for this coz they published the released date as 27/02/09 but hello? dun have leh... next choice, Marley & Me - too late. I actually wanted to watch Role Models but again, too late and too shag. Give up. Then, the plan was to chill at Timbre but again, crowded. Damn sian, had to settle for some arcade fun and coffee at Starbucks.

Street Fighter IV

My pre-order finally arrived! Another significant milestone to my PS3 gaming lifestlye and a great addition to my PS3 library. I've been waiting for this day since the day it was announced that Capcom will be making this for the console.


Excited, but 'm slightly disappointed (not the game though) that this is a Region 3 Korean Import instead of the Region 3 Asian version. The only different is that the manual is in Korean, but the game is fully in English. There is no Korean text in game at all. The server is global so I there's no region issue when playing online. Anyway, I'm already thinking of selling this off and get the Region 1 US version if the future DLCs are worth paying for it. I guess it's just personal preference that I prefer my PS3 games to be R1.

I just realised that my last update to this blog was 4 mths back... i blame my audit peak ha ha

Rock Band 2

Finally in Stock! But I'm paying inflated price for it coz it's an Region 1 (US) import.

1st try using the Quick Play mode - one of the easiest song to Gold Star and perfect it
on upstrum bass

and apparently, I'm a pretty good singer/rapper to be able to perfect this number by
the Beastie Boys hee hee

Midnight Club: Los Angeles

Just got Midnight Club: Los Angeles this evening. My 3rd gaming hoot this month! Considering each PS3 title averaging $75 each, I've spent approx $225 this month on gaming alone.

Damn, all these great PS3 titles coming out (there are still other titles on my shopping/anticipating list), I really have to prioritise my spending. I guess it's coz I've been working hard recently and wanna sort of reward myself by spending more on my gaming + tml it's a holiday... Game on!

Mini Reward

Been working hard and late recently (worked from 9am to 1am yesterday *ouch*). So when I manage to get off work at around 7pm and nowhere to go, I went retail therapy. Bought Dead Space & Fifa 09 earlier to reward myself a bit. Dun noe if I'll have the time to play or not ha ha.

3 Games this month!

I used to control myself to max 1 game per month but somehow I burst my limit this month and bought 3 PS3 games. I knew Conan was a mediocre game but after Heavenly Sword, there's not much hack and slash game to satisfy me. Plus, there's boobies in Conan

Sold my Normal Edition of Battlefield: Bad Company and bought the Gold Edition within the same month. Yah I know, I'm a bit bo liao...

"GamerCard"

Here's my PLAYSTATION®Network portable ID aka the OFFICAL PSN "GamerCard" that PlayStation site introduced today.

Late Night Jam

sleepy n tired *yawn* but yeah, we cleared the 1 million mark & gold star it on our very last song.
