Facebook Game - My Empire
This is a new game by Playfish. I think this game is just like Sim City whereby you will build you own city. Aww, I think this type of games really bores me to the core to the extend that a few mushrooms will start popping out fast on my head. For those who are interested, click HERE to play.
Monster Forest
Previously I blogged about this Monster Forest game but that was before the CBT starts. Click HERE to read.
Few days ago, I went to try on this game. I only played for a while so I will only blog about parts of the game that I feel about.
This game is somehow like the Pokemon we play on our handheld consoles. Because it's Monster Vs Monster and my character is like only giving commands to it, yeah, trainer, we are like monster trainers. Another thing is makes me feel like another Pokemon game is that monster will appear out of no where while you are walking around in the wild. This is one type of game mechanics I hate, walk and suddenly the screen just fade out and we see the battle scene already. Normally the type of battle is those turn-based. ACK! Another hate again. >.> The reason I hate about turn-based battle is that it's damn slow with all those animation of the characters here and there. One convenient thing, i think most of this turn-based battle is that you can set it to the Automatic mode and it start attacking each other by itself. Obviously, they have this mode in this game too.
After looking at the picture, you might be asking what my character does in the battle scene? Oh, basically the character just stands there dancing. LOL. Actually the character just randomly make some actions when you command your pets and it will look as if its dancing. Which i feel it's quite dumb. <.<
This game is almost like a clicking game. Because most of the things are really automatic. Even traveling around is automatic too. You need to go anywhere for you quest? Just open up your quest window and click the underline words and it will auto run to that place(no no, not teleport!) Walking, you will sit back and watch your character's running animation and your pet's running animation.
I haven't discover any other thing but I'm not really very interested in the game already. For those who liked Pet Forest you might also like this game. Because I find the game play is almost the same, just that for this game you will need to download a client and register an account in order to play.

RappelZ
RappelZ is one of the MMORPG out there that has a quite different playing system as compared to most of the typical kind of MMORPGs like Maple Story, Rose Online, Dream of Mirror Online etc where you have to keep mugging and kill all the monsters and only have like a few skill points after leveling up once.
RappelZ has their skill system in such a way that you will get GP points for every monster you kill, if you want to up this certain skill, you will need like 800 GP points, so all you need to do is to keep killing monsters until you have an amount of 800 GP points. Unlike those games, even if you up a skill wrongly, you won't have to kill yourself and delete your character away, or spend money buying game cards to restart your skill points.
RappelZ don't allow you go up your character stats. Once you level up, the stats will go up by itself based on what job you are. This might be a good news out to gamers like me, because I always find it a pain to decide between the stats to up. Archers are said to just need stats like dexterity and agility, with some luck for critical hits? There might also be a need to up your strength to up your attack? Some games might even allow you to up HP and MP.. When there are so many stats to up and there's only 5 stat points for you to use for every level up, it always give me a headache when I level up and have to add stat points ZZz.
Pantera Evolution
Blood Poultry Evolution
Tortus Evolution
Pets are something that's very common among games. Of all the pet systems I have seen across a number of MMORPGs, World of Warcraft is one that has really good pet system, and that is also because the Hunter class needs to depend on their pet to kill off monsters and that is why player will have full control over their pets.
Most pet systems implemented are those that really don't do anything but just to follow the players around only. Players seldom have contorl over their pets, some games really have no purpose for the pets but only to make it seems that the game has features so pets are implemented when it would not do anything else other than to just look good. Or perhaps some would only attack the monsters when they are very close to the players, or perhaps only help by picking up items on the ground, but provided you have to spend money for that function (I believe you guys know which I'm talking about =P).
RappelZ pets are one that are interactive with the players, you can order the pet to attack a monster and you can attack from behind with a bow. Unlike the hunter class in WoW, being a pet breeder (a class in RappelZ that attacks mainly using their pets) doesn't allow you to use bow, and that's really what I wanted. Nonetheless, I continued using my bow and having a pet to attack the monsters. Or you can attack a monster together with your pet at the same time. You could also just attack a monster on your own and let your pet attack another at the same time.
This is the first race that was created for RappelZ (as what the developers have claimed...). This class belongs to a more earthy side, they are closer to normal human beings like us, so they had the elements of Fire, Wind, Eath and Water (If I did not remember wrongly).
This race, like how the background color tells, is the one that holds the dark element. Most people are likely to choose this class for the thief/assasin class.
This is the race that holds the light element. This race is the only race whereby if you become a warrior, you will actually get skills that can heal yourself, which is good for tankers and a nice solo character, but mostly this race is chosen for people who would like to become healers.
All 3 races can become warriors, pet breeders and magicians. However, the skills they would develop for those classes would be individual.
You can read more about the classes information here.
If you are sick of games that really are too typical, which gets you real damn bored like only after 5 minutes of playing (which is the case for me, cuz I download, install game and play a game for like less than 5 minutes and would uninstall them fast cuz it's too boring), then you can try this game.
This game would pretty much hook you on for a long time. =)
Casino City
Nowadays games like to call "XXXX city" Now another game I found is called Casino City. It's another game whereby you can build your own casino. Actually, i don't find this game interesting because I had enough of all those whatever city game. Because most of them have almost the same game play and if you play long enough you will get sick of it even you hear the name.
All you do in the game is only place the items into the area and decorate them as you like.(typical game play! TCH!) There is also minigame for you to kill time but it does not interest me at all. Because it's a slot machine game and I really HATE slot machine games to the core!! Because it's hard to win >.>
Everyday you can get 500 coins to play the slot machine. But the minimum coins needed to play is 100. That means you can only get 5 chances to play if you don't earn money. Out of the 5 times I only earn 1 more chance to play and at the end of the day I lost everything. >.> Just knew it because this is how the gambling is like.
BEWARE! Facebook Disney Secret Message Group
I seen this group around and some of my friends are falling into the trap. Such groups is only out to scam people they ask you to do this and that and at the end of the day, you will be inviting malware to your computer.

These few days, in fact yesterday i was playing my Restaurant City. I redecorated my restaurant. HOHO! I'm so proud of my work~
Sorry.
Was rather busy this few days. I'm totally no mood in writing any games. Oh, maybe I have not found any games to play with.. Yea. Plus our beloved ELeafy is busying working in some Lala Land. That's why there isn't any post for the past few days.
I will try to find a nice game to play tomorrow and share.. =D

Picross DS
Picross is one of the puzzle game i like. At first glance, I thought it's some sudoku but after playing I find this game is easier than sudoku~
I believe some of you knows this game as this game was also previously released on Gameboy. Back then... More than 10 years ago. It was Mario's Picross but the game is the same I think.
Basically you have to fill up the grids with the give clue to the sides. It's quite fun cos it's like to place each pixels to the image and finally uncovering the picture. This game isn't difficult for me. I don't like sudoku because I think it's difficult and it requires a lot of thinking.
I found one trick is that we have solve from outer to inner. The same approach as playing jigsaw puzzle. The digits showing the number of grids to be filled is in order.
By reading my description here isn't enough. Don't worry there's a tutorial in the game that can help you get started and start solving! Check out this game in store now~
Plants Vs Zombies
Found this on my cousin's website. It's a peashooter and walnut plushie made by somebody, it's really cute. =3 These two character are from the Popcap game, Plants Vs Zombies.

Nintendo: Piracy to Blame for 50 Percent Drop in European Sales
Source: http://e4924611.tinybucks.net
Rampant piracy has slowed DS software sales in Europe by nearly 50 percent, says Nintendo.
Software sales for the Nintendo DS have recently plummeted by nearly 50 percent in Europe. The reason for such a massive decline? According to Nintendo, the blame falls squarely on piracy.
Gamasutra reports on Nintendo's claim that rampant piracy is responsible for the dropping sales in Europe. Nintendo monitored just 10 overseas websites for illegal software downloads, and, according to their findings, these sites racked up over 238 million counts of piracy during the month of June 2009 alone. The company says that if you factor in the average cost of DS games, that's nearly 11 billion in lost sales.
The falling sales in Europe look especially grim when compared to the software numbers from the same period in the U.S. and Japanese markets, which have seen sales drop 11 and 7 percent, respectively (via Asahi Shimbun).
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata hopes to combat piracy by releasing new hardware, like the upcoming 3DS, designed to make running illicit software more difficult for pirates.
Monster Forest SEA!
Latest game brought to you by Asiasoft~
*drum rolls*
It's the MONSTER FOREST!!!
Don't get confused by Pet Forest and Monster Forest, they belongs to the different forest in the forest world. :D
I have not played this game just that I went to check my email today and found out that I have received a Closed Beta code. Since I have the code might as well don't waste it so I gonna try it out when the Closed Beta launches.
Closed Beta begins on 4th May 2010. Just a few more days to go~ WHEEE! Hope it will be fun.
Before we start to play on 4th May, lets see how the game is going to be like first. You can visit the Official Site
Oh right seems like the story is a bit interesting. Heres the Introduction Story that I grab from the Official Webpage.
The tale of Monster Forest is set in the Liberon continent of the Eran World. With the discovery of a new and powerful source of energy harvested from the mysterious Black Crystal, Haye Nation soon rose to become one of the strongest nations in the land. However, the energy leakage incident soon changed the destiny of the nation.Next... Let take a look on the game screens itself. By looking at the character it really reminds me of one of the musical rhythm game that i use to play..
Overnight, due to the contamination, farms, water sources, animals and all other living things underwent a huge transformation.
Despite the furor among the citizens, Haye Nation chose to continue the research and usage of the black crystals in order to retain their status of one of the top nations.
Despite their best efforts in masking the Black Crystal research from the public eye, the citizens still found out about the government’s involvement in the continuing research of the Black Crystal.
When the victims of the first energy leakage realizes that their pleas to stop the research in view of another disaster had fallen on deaf ears, they decided to form an Underground Army to oppose the continued research of the Black Crystal.
The inevitable clashes between the two forces eventually spilt the nation into two opposing factions.
At the same time, other nations also learned of the Black Crystal’s mysterious powers. Be it the desire of harnessing the unimaginable powers of the Black Crystal to dominate their rivals or fearful of harm that it could unleash upon the world, the various nations also became involved in this battle of supremacy for the Black Crystal.
With the mysterious Black Crystal the very cause of this epic battle in Liberon, enter Monster Forest now to watch it unfold before your very eyes…
In Monster Forest, you can choose to dress up to six different body parts of your character, which includes the head, hands, top, bottom, shoes and eyes. Simply select and purchase various avatars and accessories from avatar merchants located in Ammonite Port and the Cash Shop. Next, you can view your new purchases in the character inventory.
I think what attracts me most is the pet system in their game. Using different pet changes the game play experience. As stated on the web page, for example you want to be warrior just change your pet to melee pet, if you want to be a healer, just change your pet to support-based. It sounds really cool but we have to check this out again later when we get to play.
There's also something called "Miniland" in this game whereby players is able to own an area similar to a home. Seems like we can customise the land.. woa.. very cool~ but before own the land, i think we have to complete certain quest first, just like most MMORPG.. On the land, we can also be farmers. hohoho.. it's getting more and more interesting.
Even more interesting is you can start a cafe business after you completed the required quest, something that is quite different from the online RPG games that i use to play. After reading through the information, I really want to try this game out!!
Can't wait to play the game! WOOTS!
For those who is interested in playing you can go get the CBT code by a few ways stated HERE
For those who already has the CBT code, download the game client HERE. The game client is about 1.1GB so it's better to download with a download manager just in case there is any interruption in between~ I like to use Web Xunlei as my download manager because normally the download speed can go up to 1mb/s, and at least it doesn't install any other craps to my computer. HOHO~
Nintendo 3DS!!
Source：http://www.unbeatable.co.uk/news/Nintendo-3DS-Out-October-2010/284037.html
Great news, and just in time for Christmas, the Nintendo 3DS has been given a launch date.
Following huge success with the Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSi and more recently the Nintendo DS XL, Nintendo are now launching the 3DS which is a three dimensional version of the handheld games console. And now it has been reported that it will launch in October, much sooner than the previously predicted, March 2011 launch.
A pre-Christmas launch is great news for all those DS fans, and Nintendo have ensured that this version will not need 3D glasses to experience the format and that 3D effects will be visible without.
It has also been rumoured that the Nintendo 3DS will have vibration reactions, a 3D control stick and much more. The great benefit of the Nintendo DS series is that they are very affordable including the games and are a very appealing gift for all.
The E3 gaming expo is on in June where the Nintendo DS will be fully unveiled.
Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth
Player gets to be as prosecutor but mainly you will be in the outdoors instead of being in the courtroom. Player will also be taking up a role like a detective, player have to examine and investigate in the crime scenes and link up the evidence and things that you found logically, from there you get a clearer picture of the mysteries.
This game is a sequel to the previous Ace Attorney game. For those who doesn't know about the other Ace Attorney game which was released earlier. In the previous game you will get to play as attorney and you will be in the court pressing on the witness and the defendant. I played one of the previous version for a while. Mainly the game play is almost the same.
The story of this game is also very interesting because you have to reveal the story by ourselves and normally there's a lot of twist here and there so.. it really keeps me attracted to the game. *grins*
Another thing is the characters are interesting and the way they presented the game. It's just like reading a comic. I also like the way they present the dialogue. It's not normally those kind that they just throw you the text. There's animation and different speed of the text popping out, it seems to be the character talking even thought you do not hear it. And and.. The character's lips seems to sync with the text too. That's really very amazing and I wonder how they did that.. Hmmm..
You won't be able to feel it only when you get to play with this game. It's in fact a GREAT game to play. I really really recommend this game..
Touch Detective!
Official Webpage: http://www.atlus.com/touchdetective/
Today, I'll share with you another NDS game~ Touch Detective! Yea, it's a point and click mystery game. I'm not a great fan of these types of games but what interest me most is the story of the game. The story is captivating~~ whee~
There's a total of 4 episode.. Meaning there is 4 mystery cases to solve. Actually, the cases is quite easy to solve because all you have to do is to examine every where and talk to every person, use some logic and VOILA!! CASE CLOSE!
The game interface is interesting. The top screen will have what you see the game character. At time to time you will be able to see what she is thinking. The screen at the bottom is where u click and the most of the things happening happens at the bottom screen.
This game is worth to try out and for people who is interested in the game story~ uncover the stories by yourself~~
I think there's Touch Detective 2~ Check out the trailer below and the website~
iSketch
iSketch is an multi-player online Pictionary. Click on the image above to go to the game.
This game is fun when you can play with your friends. This game is simple. Everyone will take turn to draw, the computer will generate a word for you depends on the standard you choose. You have to draw to let people guess your word and the rules is you are not allowed to write any words. However, if you play with people that you do not know, sometimes they tend to write the word and they will get penalized.
This game has a simple and neat interface. It's quite user friendly and you do not need to create an account. You just need to have Adobe Shockwave Player installed and you can just login to the game with any nickname that you have entered. After you have got into the game, you will see the lobby, below is the image.
Now, this is how the game going to be like.
You can create a room or join any rooms that is not full. Something good about this game is that you can join the room even the game has already started. If you do not want to play with your friends you can just click on the Create Room button in the lobby. Lets take a look at the Create Room screen below.
Now, this is how the game going to be like.
The box beside the list of the username is where you spam all your answers to the drawing, Yea! SPAM!! SPAM is the key to win the game, spam every words that you can think of. You will be notified when you get the correct answer. There is not time limit to draw but the time will start count down when the first person gets the correct answer.
The box below the list of username is where you chat but normally i just chat in the answer box. Only sometimes I will chat at the correct box. BUT BUT!

Left 4 Dead
Playing horror games just freaks me out and I'll get short tempered easily. Just roll across this Left 4 Dead Trailer. Initially, I told my friend to try out this game but after watching the trailer it totally freaks me out. EEKS~
Mystery Case Files : Dire Grove
Another Hidden Objects game that I'm gonna review on. People who enjoy a nice hidden object game with a nice ambiance and a very good story layout, you are really going to love this game. This was still on the top 10 list on BigFishGames a few weeks ago, it has dropped down to top 20 since the releases of new games.
I was very attracted by the story summary at first, which prompted me to try out the game myself: A group of graduate students has gone missing in Dire Grove. There is a Celtic legend passed down from many generates to generations, considered it to be fairy tale. However, there is this artifact that has just been uncovered in United Kingdom, which proves that the fairy tale may not just be an fairy tale. The group of graduate students stepped foot into Dire Grove, which seems abandoned and ended up missing in the town. So it's now up to the player to uncover the mystery and find out the whereabouts of the students.
What's very different about this Hidden Objects game and the others that I've played in the past is that most of the Hidden Objects just let you go through a lot of different puzzle maps and give you a list of what you need to find. This game, however, instead of being asked to go through lots and lots of lists, you will have to take pick up objects and do something to them to uncover more puzzles and mysteries. Some things are pretty logical, when you completed a hidden objects puzzle, you will get an axe from the puzzle, then later you can use the axe on a pile of wood for firewood and get some warmth from the snow.
Even the start of the game is pretty interesting. After clicking the "PLAY" button on the menu page, instead of going through dialogues like most games does, it straight away starts on the game play. It's quite good in a sense that most people who started out playing a game, they already have some sort of background on it. However, there are still people who just play game without knowing the story, if that's the case, they could only slowly uncover the story, because even if people did homework on this, all they know is that graduate students have gone missing.
What really freaked me out was the screen shot of these when I went around looking for more information of this game before I decided to try it out myself. Turns out when I was playing this is that this is one of the missing students. Throughout the game, video tapes could be found on various maps, if I didn't remember wrongly, there will be a total of 20 to collect, the first tape that player found though, would be the last piece of the whole story. After you have collected all 20 video parts, you would know what happened to these students.
I like horror stories and all, but I'm also one who are scared of this kind of games, else I would have tried F.E.A.R myself. I was very very very curious about the story behind this game, and even though this scene really freaked me out I still forced myself to continue playing. The only thing that is comforting is that this game is actually meant for all ages, so definitely there wouldn't have those ultra scary things that come out to scare the wits out of you.
This is a diary/journal that the in game player would update whenever new things, or something peculiar has been found, so if you quit the game randomly, you could refresh your memory by what reading those that has been updated in the log.
The only amazing part is that when you are at the final stage of the game whereby the "bad thing" is out, the in game player still has the time to update his diary / journal.
This game pretty much gets you involved in it, because even if at times you get very fed up with not being able to find the next step, you would still continue prying for the answer. One thing about this game is that, the map is very big. Since it is the whole town of Dire Grove, there are a lot of places that you need to go to, and most likely it will gets you confused. Well, at least I did since I didn't have a good sense of direction in the first place.
I would give this game a rating of 9/10 because the story is very captivating. The ambiance itself is also very nice and eerie. I couldn't stop myself from play this game once I have started it too.

Kojima, whose 'Metal Gear Solid' games have sold more than 27 million copies, says the future of video gaming is on networks that will free players from consoles supplied by the likes of his long-time partner Sony Corp.
'In the near future, we'll have games that don't depend on any platform,' Kojima said at a news conference announcing the latest installment in a game saga that began in 1987.
'Gamers should be able to take the experience with them in their living rooms, on the go, when they travel - wherever they are and whenever they want to play. It should be the same software and the same experience,' he said.
Kojima was speaking at an event in Tokyo to detail plans for the late April launch of 'Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker,' a video game he developed and directed and Konami Corp is launching for Sony's portable PSP device.
The prediction of a future without game machines from a figure regarded as both creative maverick and commercial dynamo appeared to rattle a Sony executive on hand for the event.
'It's a bold prediction,' Sony Computer Entertainment Japan President Hiroshi Kawano told reporters with a nervous smile.
'We hope he continues to develop for platforms, but we deeply respect his sense of taking on a challenge.'
'Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker' goes on sale in Japan at the end of April and the United States and Europe in June.
Kojima, 46, is known for sneaking pacifist themes into a game series that features stealth combat and elaborate plot lines that often reflect on the dangers of technology.
The latest installment features Metal Gear's mercenary hero, Snake, as he and a group of soldiers of fortune set off to save Costa Rica from invasion in 1974 by a mysterious army.
Kojima said players are rewarded for cooperating and encouraged to stun and capture - not kill - enemy soldiers they encounter in order to put them to work.
'This is software that develops management skills,' Kojima said. 'You can even fire workers, something that you can't really do in real life. In the game, I couldn't stop doing it.'
Kojima has said he hopes to develop movies as well as video games. Like recent Hollywood productions, his latest game is packed with product placements to bring in additional revenue, including AXE bodywash from Unilever and Doritos corn chips and Mountain Dew from PepsiCo.
Kojima said he hoped the release of the new game on Sony's PSP device would give his development team a sense of what works in portable gaming in preparation for his vision of gaming on demand over the Internet.

Gaia Online - Zomg! Flash MMO
Was surfing around the net and i saw this game on another blog. It's another Flash MMO. Tested it out for awhile and realised it's actually not that bad. At least, I think it's better than the Pet Forest Online that I have played. The interface and graphics is neat and clean.
This screenshot is taken when I got into the game. Everything looks so nice, the lighting, objects etc.
In this game, the weapons are called rings which confuses me at first. Because it was telling me to use the ring and i thought is those accessories kind of rings. In the end I realized its the weapon(I think). It was some kind of gun thing.
I also liked the loading screen of this game. It's quite nice and cute. I think loading screen is quite important to be nice because it's the time when the player will be staring at it for quite awhile while waiting for the game to load.
The feel of this game is like fairy tale~ Sorry if that wasn't the case but I just feel like that. Hoho. The music and the mobs jsut reminds me of fairy tale tho.
I'm not a great fan of this kind of MMORPG kind of game so I haven't been going in depth of the game. I just know there is some story and quest to discover more and you can upgrade your weapons using some kind of orbs.
