Prey Impressions | Wednesday, February 7th, 2007
Posted in PC
I’ve been amazed with Prey way back when I first played it but I didn’t really write about it. Seeing that PC Gamer surprisingly voted it as the Best Shooter for 2006, I figured it wouldn’t hurt those who haven’t played it to read another blog as to why they should.

Game! reduced? | Monday, February 5th, 2007
Posted in PC, MMORPG
I don’t know about you, but I think the 6th issue of the local online gaming magazine, Game! has been significantly “downsized”. The usual 72-page issue is now a measly 48-pager. Gone are the glossy pages. Most significant of all, it appears that “The Best Online Gaming Magazine” is now living true to its name […]
