Team Teamwork!

A little bored right now, so thought I would update with some video game related music that i've listen too.
Here's an awesome mix done by Team Teamwork in The Ocarina of Rhyme.
Imo, this is the only way Slim Thug and Mike Jones can sound good :)
Check out the rest of their work if your into these kind of mixes. They're pretty good.
If you got any suggestions on some cool video game related music.. post some links :)

Team ICO HD reboot coming to PS3

So here's a PS3 update. I might be a little late to the party, but i'm pretty excited for the re-release of Team ICO's titles.
Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu has revealed that the long rumored HD remakes of Team ICO’s previous PS2 masterpieces, ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, is heading to the PlayStation 3.





Although details are a bit scarce at the moment, according to reports, the PS2 classics will be released as two separate games in Japan although a leaked boxart from a European retailer listed the game this morning as Ico and the Shadow of Colossus Collection in their database.




Sony is expected to reveal more info about the collection at the Tokyo game show this week. Stay tuned.


I'm pretty damn excited for HD versions of these games.



On a related note.. here's a video of a a Playstation Move commercial I found on youtube.

Guile's theme goes with everything.






I was at the club earlier and everyone was doing flash kicks on the dance floor.
I guess Guile's theme does go with everything.
Time for me to go home and be a family man.

Final Fantasy XIV ad goes live action

With the PC version release looming so close, Square Enix is now ramping up publicity for Final Fantasy XIV. But instead of showing how awesome the game looks, like in the opening cinematic, they opted to go live action, so you end up with a pretty big cosplay party to promote the game.





Final Fantasy XIV launches for the PC on September 30th, while the PS3 version will have to wait until March 2011.


I don't know if I should be excited about this game. I mean I did play XI back when it first came out for about a year. What's your guys opinions? Will you be getting it?




Japan has embraced Kinect - MS


Japan has embraced Kinect - MS


"The Japanese development community has embraced Kinect." This was the bold proclamatino made by Microsoftthrough Aaron Greenberg, Xbox product head, at the TGS 2010.

"We came here back in the days of Project Natal and we met with the creators and developmers. It's clear they wanna be on the frontline of Kinect. We'll continue to invest in games that are designed to be played in a controller. But to allow somebody that's never played a game before that doesn't need to use a manual and can step in front of a game and instantly play is something that Kinect enables.
I just played Table Tennis on the show floor. I'd never played it before and nobody had to tell me how to play. It's very clear. I hit the ball with my hands; it was fun, it was intuitive." He also raved about how Japanese developers have already come up with "things we've never imagined."
Maybe the launch of the motion controllers can do something to boost once more the creativity of the Japanese gaming industry, if Inafune is to be believed that it has indeed stagnated.
