Game Pickup: Bioshock Infinite

I bought Bioshock Infinite for the PS3 so that I will definitely experience this thrill ride of a game that received many praises from critics and gamers. It's really cheap and it comes with the digital copy of the first Bioshock, this technically completes my Bioshock Trillogy, but I still want my own retail copy of Bioshock and still trying to find the find the original release version (not those that have best hits/greatest hits label or something). Ok then, I will post the review of this game in the HCF gaming blog after I finish my first playthrough and the "1999" difficulty mode playthrough. After that it's Platinum run time!

[HCF Update] New Video Game Reviews!

Time to give some time to our HCF gaming blog so I've posted some game reviews there, some of them are way past overdue, sorry about that.

FINAL FANTASY TYPE-0 REVIEW (PSP)

This is a high profile Final Fantasy title that didn't reach the Western shores because of next generation gaming device transition. It was released in Japan during the final mainstream years of Sony PSP and PSVita/PS4's impending release. So Square-Enix halted the game's already a work-in-progress English version till later notice.

BLACK ROCK SHOOTER: THE GAME REVIEW (PSP)

Black Rock Shooter: The Game is a PSP digital download only game that's stealthily released stateside, unknown to many PSP users. Only BRS fans knew about this game. I'm no fan of BRS but I've been eyeing this game after seeing the Japanese version because of its unique combat.

METAL GEAR SOLID 3: SNAKE EATER HD REVIEW (PS3, XBox 360)

Metal Gear Solid 3 HD Edition is bundled as part of the MGS HD Collection and MGS Legacy Collection. This MGS3 Subsistence version with few removed features like the special movie/trailer section and the Guy Savage nightmare scene.

We reviewed video games, covered some gaming related events and posted it on the HCF blog. We are not very active recently though. But be sure to check out the blog if you want opinion based reviews that doesn't have any of that ratings included.

Are They Going To Make Resident Evil Revelations 2 Action Figures?

With the reveal of Resident Evil Revelations 2 getting released next year. Will Capcom and other toy companies make new action figures/statuettes for this upcoming title? I posted my trailer impressions on HCF, by the way, please check it out.

[Toy Review] Raiden Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Play Arts Kai

I got a cool Play Arts Kai figure to review! He is known as "White Devil", "Jack the Ripper" and "Pretty Boy". It's Raiden of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (I played and reviewed the game). This is one of the known badass versions of Raiden, the other one is the MGS4 Raiden (no PAK yet). I got this toy with the help from the awesome guys from Play Arts Kai Philippines Trading Group (PAKPTG). This is a 2nd hand PAK Raiden and will be treated as brand new for this review because it's in great condition and its accessories are complete minus the display stand.

[Blog Update] My Laptop... It's ALIVE!

Hello! My laptop is now back in action. It's temporarily OK, this will suffice until I get a new HDD for my laptop or just buy a new laptop/desktop. I already backed up all my files and it's semi-smooth sailing from here. I'm also going to reduce my PAK toy purchases for a while to earn money, so less toy review and more cash and fat wallet.

What If... Remake Old Games?

[Left] Crusader: No Remorse
[Right] Stasis: No Remorse (Cool looking game, check it out!)
Different games, but look similar. It's like a remake.

I've been playing video games since we got our Nintendo Famicom in the late 80's, I was like 4 years old at the time. I saw games evolve from 8bit/16bit/32bit graphics to 3D and into like a blockbuster movie we play today. Enough about that, here are some games that will look good with today's graphics and technology:

[Toy Review] Sora Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance Play Arts Kai

Dream Drop Distance (or "3D") is the 6th Kingdom Hearts sequel for the Nintendo 3DS. Its story took place after Kingdom Hearts 2 and Re: Coded. It's also the last bridge towards Kingdom Hearts 3. Unfortunately, I haven't played the game yet, no 3DS, but I have the next good thing. I got this awesome Play Arts Kai figure of Sora as an alternative after failing yet again to search for a Vincent PAK. This version of Sora is from that KH3D game, and thanks to the dude at the store for lowering the price of this figure.

[Blog Update] The Typhoon and an Upcoming Review

Typhoon Glenda, I don't know its international name, hit Philippines this month. This typhoon moves slow and have strong winds. It destroyed houses, crops and other properties, and killed people. While I was looking through our window, we see flying roof parts and other debris, and my room is shaking like the wind is going to tear off the 2nd floor of our house. Thankfully we had few casualties than Typhoon Yolanda did and the people recovered quickly and got on to their usual lives.

[Toy News] Cloud and Barret FF7AC Play Arts Kai Prototypes Are Here!

BLOG POST UPDATED!

Hidemi "Mad Dog" Matsuzuka posted these Japan Expo (in Paris) photos on Twitter and to my/our surprise that Cloud and Barret PAK grey prototypes made a physical appearance in Paris and both of them look great.

[Blog Update] My Laptop Died

Hello dear readers and people who stumbled upon my blog!

My laptop died after serving me for 7 years (just in time for my salary). I tried everything to fix the laptop's problem but it failed, I can't even go to the Command Prompt to do some reformatting. Right now I'm using another laptop, not mine obviously. So expect blog post and toy review shortages :(
