6 Apr 2009It’s always an uphill climb getting a videogame publisher to look at the Philippines as a viable market. Trust me, I’ve fought the long battle before. And believe me, receiving a ton of “I’m sorry but we don’t have a market there” letters can really get to you.

13 Feb 2009Fine, fine. I sort of plagiarized the title for this blog post from this IGN review of Street Fighter 4. I just thought, Ryan Clements came up with a perfect description for the 4th installment of probably the most influential fighting game franchise of all time (If even mentions Tekken or Virtua Fighter, you are all fools!). After months and months of waiting, the game will finally be released on February 17th!

Only one more day before the Grand Theft Auto IV bomb is dropped on all the lucky gamers in the US. As for the rest…
While we await for the final release of the greatest thing since sliced bread, we’ll gladly settle for its prologue counterpart. We’re so glad to…
If he isn't watching, playing, or reading about basketball, he's probably on his PS3 playing it, using a created character patterned after himself.
