FFVII : Crisis Core out on 13 September

 

Crisis Core : Final Fantasy VII

According the this article from Gamespot, and the official Crisis Core website, the new PSP - Final Fantasy VII : Crisis Core Edition bundle, is going to release on 13 September, along with the Japanese version of Final Fantasy VII : Crisis Core. So in the near future, we will be seeing the arrival of Final Fantasy VII : Crisis Core (English version). I guess the Final Fantasy fans are tired of waiting for the first of remake of the legendary Final Fantasy VII. Gone were the blocky and short Cloud and Tifa. Characters in the new Final Fantasy VII series is simply too attractive.

The new Final Fantasy VII : Crisis Core PSP bundle is made up of the new redesigned silver PSP-2000 (I believe so), a unique serial number, Crisis Core PSP game (hurray!) and a keychain shaped like the sword of the game’s hero, Zack.

The Final Fantasy VII : Crisis Core PSP bundle will be available in Japan only, with only 77,777 sets on the shelves for purchase, to commemorate the 10th year anniversary of the Final Fantasy VII franchise. Each bundle costs 25,890 yen.

Command and Conquer 3 : Tiberium Wars 1.06 patch released

EA has released version 1.06 patch for Command and Conquer 3 : Tiberium Wars. This new patch addresses statistics collection for online matches, exploits and bug fixes.

Tracking Disconnects

Changed the way that disconnects are reported. Now, whenever the game detects that a disconnect has occurred in a 1v1 match, both players are awarded a disconnect stat — neither player is given a win or loss stat.

Exploits

Fixed an exploit that caused any unit or structure to become invincible if force-fired upon by a Mammoth Tank that had been upgraded with Rail Guns.

Other Bugs

  • Fixed a bug that caused the Nod Cloaking Field power to deduct up to 6,000 credits from the Operations Center. The power now correctly deducts 3,000 credits.
  • Fixed a bug that allowed players in the online lobbies to /tell and /invite users that had marked them to be ignored.
  • Players can no longer send /tell messages to other players as observers during a multiplayer match.
  • Fixed a hang that occurred when users typed /friend or /invite without a corresponding name.

You can download the patch from here.

mr. brown show : swordman - LOLed

The most famous blogger in the entire Singapore, the Gameblogger is the fan of Mr. Brown.

Mr. Brown just released one of the best podcasts ever did - swordman. Basically, this episode focused on an high-profiled issue in the Singapore military and political world that happened just recently.
As I had experienced the life of the Singapore military (all guys have to go through this, unless he has some disability), the jokes from the podcast is especially funny (relating to the songs we sang in Tekong island).

For the Singaporeans, listen to this podcast, period.

Getting a new rig for BioShock?

If you have not seen this game’s hardware requirement, it might give you a shock. You will not be able to run this game smoothly (i.e. 30fps with certain quality at native resolution) if your computer is more than 2 years old.

Minimum System Requirements:
CPU: Pentium 4 2.4GHz Single Core processor
System RAM: 1GB
Video Card: Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 128MB RAM (NVIDIA 6600 or better/ATI X1300 or better, excluding ATI X1550).
Sound Card: 100% direct X 9.0c compatible sound card
Hard disk space: 8GB free space

Recommended System Requirements:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo processor
System RAM: 2GB
DX9 GPU: Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 512MB RAM (NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GT or better)
DX10 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 or better
Sound Card: Sound Blaster X-Fi series (Optimized for use with Creative Labs EAX Advanced HD 4.0 or EAX Advanced HD 5.0 compatible sound cards)

Operating System:
Windows XP or Windows Vista

Looking at the rather high recommended system requirement of Bioshock, you might need a new USD 1K rig to run at the recommended specification. I thought Crysis has a rather shocking requirement, but Bioshock really shock.

What I recommend you to do is to get Xbox 360 if you want to play this game. Xbox 360 is cheaper if you do not own a Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD64 X2 CPU now.
