Some games I am looking forward to...

My fingers are scratching for something. They can't wait to push some buttons in the control pad. For these games will be serving me fresh and hot as soon as I push that start button.





Soul Calibur V

Aside from the Marvel Vs. Capcom series, I have waited for this game's newest installation. This fighting/slashing game started out as "Soul Edge" or "Soul Blade" in Playstation and started out with only 10 characters, plus the unplayable evil spirit known as "Inferno". Since then, It was renamed Soul Calibur and started to include some new characters and some "special guest". In fact, Yoshimitsu, the sword-wielding warrior from Tekken series, made his debut in Soul Calibur. Other notable guests are Heihachi Mishima from Tekken, Yoda, Darth Vader and Vader's Apperantice from Star Wars, Spawn, Link from Zelda, and the latest addition: Ezio Auditore from Assassin's Creed.



Tekken Tag Tournament 2

Nobody gave me a fair warning that this game already hit the arcade stations. I mean, I was walking around trinoma and decided to look at Timezone to spend sometime watching those who are playing Marvel vs. Capcom 2 when I saw this: Paul Phoenix delivering a "bounce" attack then Martial Law enters to dish out some more moves and Paul Phoenix just hit his final blow. Finally, the latest installation of this prestigious fighting has finally unleashed. Showing more fierce and fatal combos like no other games can. I can wait to play this game. But because of low-budget, I can purchase Timezone and it's BanaPassport card. I guess I should wait for it to be release on the PS3. Overall, The graphics is great, the gameplay is brilliant.


So far these are the games I am dying to play.

Tetris: then and now...

Before: This game was just played in a handheld console fashion. It was called Brick Game back then.



Now: Tetris has now invaded our consciousness. Through the social networking site Facebook, it hit the internet world by storm.



Before: The objective of the game is to manipulate these blocks by moving each one sideways and rotating it by 90 degree units, with the aim of creating a horizontal line of ten blocks without gaps. When such a line is created, it disappears, and any block above the deleted line will fall. When a certain number of lines are cleared, the game enters a new level. As the game progresses, each level causes the blocks to fall faster, and the game ends when the stack of blocks reach the top of the playing field and no new Tetriminos are able to enter. Some games also end after a finite number of levels or lines.




Now: aside from the same objectives as above, the unique thing about this new tetris is that you can play it with your friends or with some people who wanted to defeat you with this game. Being in a multiplayer set-up,  you can not just play mano y mano with one-on-one set up, but you can do it with three of your friends, four of your friends and even five of your friends!




Even I can't decide what to choose.


The classic one, or the New one.


how about you?


you choose.
