Kudos to the hundreds of people who queued up at the Hellgate: London launch over at Funan today. We’ve scored ourselves a copy of the game, and are looking forwards to some old-skool demon slaying.
The crew at our sister magazine Playworks have their own take of the event HERE , while the boys over at GX League have a ton of event images on their Gallery: www.gxleague.com
Ah…and Sony’s has added new SLRs to their already well-packed series, where we had a "Try it yourself!" experience, and take famed Thomas Chai’s photo, for keeps.
Who said, that the allure of gaming was simply in the desire to win?
Most guys engage in games where this might sound a tad bit stereotyping, to win. Where at the end of it, they want to see some results, although, not saying that girls game for kicks and boredom. We’re just not so geared up as to run around, pumping our fists up and down and making faces at our "loser" friends saying "eat that!"
On a more personal note, I do take my games seriously where at the moment I’m re-playing Chocobo’s Dungeon 2 on my psp. It’s of course a PS1 game, but lo-and-behold, we’ve got the blessed PS3 to help us upload via a convenient user account.
Once again, Halloween’s rolled on and seen a few ghastly-looking fellows getting all dressed up in stylish gore, although, we spotted a couple of sharp dressers and cosplayers.
We did wonder, how our emperor of China, and the Japanese soldier who obviously met a tragic death here on our Sunny Lil’ Island not too long ago (say WWII?) could possibly have shown up at our little gathering….
An interesting comparison where we had a discussion in the office one day…would you prefer a PSP or a DS Lite? Puzzling over it, it was decided that in a general situation, women prefer the DS Lite whilst guys preferred the PSP. And. I own both.

It’s kind of hard to place a finger on which console’s better with its game structures, being varsely different. How can you compare a donkey with a sheep? Or in this case, a graphically-superior console with a touchscreen cutesy other?
And…Somebody wants to get her grubby lil’ paws on a psp slim. Apparently, the newest PSP is currently retailing at approx. $300/-, but head on down to the likes of Funan or Sim Lim, and you just might be able to find that dream bargain at $265-$285.
A well-worth bargain if you ask us…Christmas is coming…Have you gotten that dream gift?
These days, Gadget Candy’s gotten a little bit cranky
, and have been known to toss and turn, where she randomly smses colleagues in the wee hours of the morning, just to remind them of something she forgot to mention earlier
.
It also seems that her eyes have been turned towards HTC’s older model, the HTC Touch aka the "elf". Apparently 5-way touch-flo and large screens are a jig-of-an-item that she loves in her pda.
The HTC Touch (1st Gen)
We’ve been extremely busy little beavers in recent weeks, as there were a host of gadget launches as we ramp up to Christmas!
