Kingdom Under Fire 好玩，好爽，好過癮

原本想在假期全攻Mass Effect，但見Kingdom Under Fire價錢回落，Live又有好多friends玩，就決定入手。

嘩，這個game的毒性真勁！Game的性質＝三國無雙＋Diablo＋Monster Hunter。其實只當4人版“三國”己經好吸引。現在還加上Diablo式的人物升級，武器升級；再加Monster Hunter式的Boss大戰。唔中毒都幾難！

Xbox 360高清能力

今日我有朋友話PS3係真高清畫面，而Xbox360係谷出來的高清。那時我真的很火！點解到現在還有人對Xbox360有錯誤的觀念？真的有需要作事實的解說！

Xbox360不但可以出原生1080p畫面，更可以upscale一些原本只是對應720p/1080i的game去1080p。但如是PS3的話（沒有內置upscale功能）就只能用番720p去玩。Rainbow 6就係一個好例子，原生720p畫面，PS3就只能用720p（1080畫面超"爛"），Xbox360則可以用720p/1080i/1080p！

Xbox 360動作感應手把確認！改良型新手把研發中

跟據著名網站TeamXbox報道，微軟正在進行遊戲輸入設備多樣化的研發。TeamXbox表示，他們可以確認微軟在過去2年間一直沒有間斷過對遊戲輸入設備多樣化的研發。他們還透露，微軟的這個研發項目共包含兩個方向，首先是使用以視覺呈像為基礎的識別技術的遊戲設備，這就是現在大家看到的Xbox 360數碼攝像頭。而另外一個，就是以動作感應為核心的遊戲控制器，其性能類似於微軟的Freestyle Pro和PS3的六軸手把。

Fifa 08 玩後感

很感動！今年Fifa系列真的進步不少。過往只給人畫面好、遊戲性差的Fifa，今年作出了很多突破。遊戲性方面，今次很注重team work的重要性，每次進攻的時候都要考慮隊友位置。而當有機會作個人突破時，你也可以用right stick動作過人，操控性無疑！Live方面，Fifa也有很多mode支援Live。Fifa今年更加了5vs5 Live對戰，現在終於可以同網友一起組織攻勢，很感動！

真的要玩過Fifa 08後才知道它的過人之處。

Crazy pricing for KUF

It has been a week already, but I still haven't pick up a copy of Kingdom Under Fire. Why? The pricing has been pumped up ridiculously high, from MSRP HK$299 to HK$450! Since this game is published by Microsoft the price should be set at standard HK$299. I really hope Microsoft can take a closer look at the retail level as this will hamper the business growth for the Xbox 360.

Xbox 360 Christmas Event at Times Square

Just last month we had our X07 event held in Shatin, which we were treated with new in-game footage of highly anticipated titles such as Lost Odyssey and Ninja Gaiden II. We now have another Xbox 360 event, this time held in Times Square at CWB. I have taken some photos of the event.

Ace Combat 6 - Co-op battle a demo?

I just played through the co-op battles in Ace Combat 6 and found that there are only 2 missions. It seems to me more like a demo than a full feature. Is this just a preview for a real co-op battle to come? It's a shame because I think this is the best multiplayers mode in xbox live.

Breaking News - Two Worlds now available!

Two Worlds the RPG is spotted in several game shops in Mongkok. This one really is a surprise as it is once rumored to be cancelled. This month is really great for Xbox 360 RPG fans, as Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, and Two Worlds all released within the month.

Breaking News - Kingdom Under Fire in stock now!

Just got reports from HMV in TST and CWB, Kingdom Under Fire is now available at HK$299. I'm going to pick this up after work. I will post some early impression tonite.

GTA IV - Trailer #3 "Move up, Ladies"

The game is set to release in the 2nd quarter of 2008. Here is the latest trailer named "Move up, Ladies". Here it shows a bit of the backdrop for the game setting.

Assassin's Creed review

My first ever Xbox 360 review is Assassin's Creed. To tell you the truth, I was not expecting too much from this game after its recent previews and the fact that it was released with other greater hits like COD4 and Mass Effect didn't help either. However, it turned out that Assassin's Creed can hold on its own with its unique settings and gameplay mechanisms. The first time I played the game I was amazed with the superb art design quality in a very believable ancient settings. The only shortfall is that all missions played out the same. I'm sure based on the reception this game received a sequel is inevitable.

Graphic: 9/10
Sound:8/10
Gameplay: 8/10
Lifespan: 7/10
X-factor: 8/10

Final score : 8/10

Why no NHL08 love?

I'm a hockey fan, and I'm proud of it. However, watching the others in America and Europe playing the game truly hurt... Why not release this great hockey game in Asia? At least we had a Korean version last year? Why not this year too?

GTA IV confirmed for HK

GTA IV has just been listed in Xbox HK site and this means it will be released in Hong Kong in official "Asian Edition".

This also means that the game will be released the same time as the "American Edition".
