<i>The King of Game Trivia</i> is the novelization of <a href="http://multiple-option.blogspot.com.au/2008/07/game-trivia-catechism.html">Game Trivia Catechism</a>. <br />
<br />
<i>Al doesn't know why his cousin Sally would pay for his trip home,
but he readily accepts. Little does he know though that she's secretly
entered him into the King of Game Trivia Tournament and expects him to
score the ten-thousand dollar grand prize. Unprepared for competition,
can Al do what it takes to win while keeping sane of Sally's demands at
the same time?</i><br />
<br />
<i>THE KING OF GAME TRIVIA is a story by a gamer for gamers. Stuffed
with so many references to the world of video games, you'll be lost and
confused if you don't know your Nintendo from your Sega. And with
actual trivia questions peppered throughout, even hardcore players will
be tested and entertained by this fun-filled and unique journey into
gaming culture.</i><br />

<b>What is it?</b><br />
A journey in space - a test of survival.
Catch stars to increase the jackpot, but don't forget to claim it!
Avoid the meteors; they're deadly unless you Colour Shift. Same colour
ship and meteor = OK! Mismatched colours = GAME OVER! Go for the high
score!<br />
<br />
<b>Describe it in one sentence</b><br />
It's the
non-stop pace of Temple Run mixed with the polarity action of Ikaruga
topped off with the risk and reward of a slot machine!<br />

<br />
I've had my eye on this game for months, and finally with a 20% off sale at JB Hi-Fi, bought <a href="http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-2tts-71-dh-49-en-84-j-70-1wld.html">Import Tuner Challenge</a> for a cheap $7. A part of the <a href="http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-2tts-71-bn-49-en-15-tokyo+xtreme+racer-84-p-18-2.html">Tokyo Xtreme/Highway Racer</a> series, I played the game almost non-stop on the weekend.

<a href="http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-04-08-sony-boss-ds-is-a-babysitting-tool">Eurogamer</a> has an article about Jack Tretton, CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America who says that Nintendo makes "babysitting tools." Presumably because of all the kids games that Nintendo makes - you know, the ones that look a lot like Sony's <a href="http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-2tts-71-bp-49-en-84-j-70-3uw2.html">LittleBigPlanet</a>. He then goes on to say that "no self-respecting 20-something is going to be sitting on an airplane with [a Nintendo DS]."<br />
<br />
Which is probably true, though unfortunately for Sony, twenty-somethings are using their iPhone 4's instead.Devinquesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13017067208293483079noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310448588682372209.post-5159941791557890712011-04-08T15:53:00.001+10:002011-04-08T15:53:32.645+10:00David Cage vs L.A Noire - Translated<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGbjbp8KhFKJg3daADXjGYfRoxxpi6J4H6mVUedxtHaU436zb7nK7Q8elo26nWakNfFMsjjDh8B6PdODVQFfcp5xaewiByKPnxbsXsdD9oYamjH8n8np_xsfS69AEyF6BDdm3cH_u8VWI/s1600/heavyrainlanoire.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGbjbp8KhFKJg3daADXjGYfRoxxpi6J4H6mVUedxtHaU436zb7nK7Q8elo26nWakNfFMsjjDh8B6PdODVQFfcp5xaewiByKPnxbsXsdD9oYamjH8n8np_xsfS69AEyF6BDdm3cH_u8VWI/s400/heavyrainlanoire.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
David Cage of Quantic Dream, makers of <a href="http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-2tts-71-bp-49-en-84-j-70-1vfq.html">Heavy Rain</a>, gave his thoughts about the technology behind Rockstar/Team Bondi's <a href="http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-2tts-71-dh-49-en-84-j-70-3r5x.html">L.A.

<br />
As you can see, the man speaks in riddles! As a public service, I have translated what he said:<br />
<blockquote>It's an interesting dead end. Because you know Team Bondi's cock is impressive, but it's only good for fucking. We, Quantic Dream, our cock is different.

Tried out the StreetPass function yesterday and managed to score four Mii's inside an EB Games, perhaps not surprisingly. Got another three at lunch time today - all of whom where female (possibly not IRL). TIP: Before you start cruising with StreetPass, you need to play the Puzzle and Quest games at least once. The new Mii's won't show up in those games otherwise. <br />

Note the grey-haired Mii second from the right. I smiled when he introduced himself as our ex-Prime Minister.Devinquesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13017067208293483079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310448588682372209.post-51927106164219239502010-10-26T14:41:00.001+11:002011-04-03T14:53:19.413+10:00A Pessoa Mais Poderosa do Mundo<object height="306" width="500"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/uXzX9ewacS0?fs=1&hl=en_GB"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/uXzX9ewacS0?fs=1&hl=en_GB" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="306"></embed></object><br />

I urge you to use a real Nintendo DS and a flash cart for the best experience. Emulators only if you're desperate - the game is a bit flaky in an emu.<br />

I gave up on this game. Even the allure of easy achievements wasn't enough for me. I understand why these Lego games are popular, but I just can't get into them. I know some people think I'm nuts to be playing "crap" games like Terminator Salvation, but I had fun playing that. However, I just can't find any fun in the Lego games. To me, the gameplay is clumsy and slow, though I do like the cutscenes. I only paid $8 for it, so I don't feel particularly ripped off.Devinquesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13017067208293483079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310448588682372209.post-74165461014153969472010-04-06T16:17:00.002+10:002010-04-06T16:31:55.909+10:00Fallout 3 (PC)<object height="341" id="veohFlashPlayer" name="veohFlashPlayer" width="410"><param name="movie" value="http://www.veoh.com/static/swf/webplayer/WebPlayer.swf?version=AFrontend.5.5.0.1010&permalinkId=v14177786GPcrmPkG&player=videodetailsembedded&videoAutoPlay=0&id=anonymous"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.veoh.com/static/swf/webplayer/WebPlayer.swf?version=AFrontend.5.5.0.1010&permalinkId=v14177786GPcrmPkG&player=videodetailsembedded&videoAutoPlay=0&id=anonymous" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="410" height="341" id="veohFlashPlayerEmbed" name="veohFlashPlayerEmbed"></embed></object><br />

I'd tell you about it, except that all I did was go to my friend's house, downloaded my Xbox Live gamertag profile, started the game, and used the console to get all of the game's achievements without actually playing.<br />

Bought this game because it was half price for this week on Xbox Live - the original price was the primary reason I didn't get it when it first came out. I used to play SF religiously in my teens, at the arcade and on my SNES, so it came as a bit of a surprise to find that I was thoroughly beaten by the computer when I began playing HD Remix. I blame the Xbox controller!<br />
<br />
Incidentally, the last time I played SSF2T was on the 3DO, when I managed to get my hands on a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3DO_Blaster">3DO Blaster</a> (had to sweet talk my dad to upgrade the video card to make it work).Devinquesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13017067208293483079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310448588682372209.post-30887319853361410892010-03-25T01:12:00.000+11:002010-03-25T01:12:49.908+11:00Majisuka Gakuen Kirifuda Taisen<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWYWNN8LHJ3VjqowoM6Vrh6GhgtcUB19kzNtpyjvzDx_DBkcGmLxxWF166D5PBSqW3WsDnnbhaNrIRcGnplaNbbeJ-21TIQukUeeCx5wv8wlf9RxrJghrnoONee3beU40Wi7dxu2kO0so/s1600/screenshot1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWYWNN8LHJ3VjqowoM6Vrh6GhgtcUB19kzNtpyjvzDx_DBkcGmLxxWF166D5PBSqW3WsDnnbhaNrIRcGnplaNbbeJ-21TIQukUeeCx5wv8wlf9RxrJghrnoONee3beU40Wi7dxu2kO0so/s320/screenshot1.jpg" /></a></div><br />

Thanks to a free 1-month Xbox Live Gold subscription, I snagged a couple of online Achievements last night:<br />
<ul><li>Forza 3 - Selling a car online in the Auction House</li>
<li>Uno - Finish your first online multiplayer game</li>
<li>Heroes Over Europe - Fly every available plane type in the same multiplayer match</li>
</ul>Heroes Over Europe (which I worked on) was quite a disappointment online, as there was no one playing. At all. Just me. Kinda sad, really. Also, a few of the online achievements involve having matches with 5 or more players. Considering I couldn't even get anyone else besides me to play means that I might have to give up on these ones.Devinquesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13017067208293483079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310448588682372209.post-79744682755316199002010-03-15T15:44:00.000+11:002010-03-15T15:44:22.935+11:00Tinker - Part 2<object height="265" width="320"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gC344LoZYdQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gC344LoZYdQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object><br />

<a href="http://multiple-option.blogspot.com/2010/03/tinker-free-game-for-windows.html">Tinker</a> is a puzzle game where you lead a robot to the exit while dealing with obstacles. I'm reminded of Adventures of Lolo on NES (video above), which isn't a bad thing. I played for thirty minutes last night, completing the tutorial levels and managing to score seven achievements in the process. Recommended, and the fact that's free doesn't hurt.Devinquesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13017067208293483079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310448588682372209.post-82527950894311038162010-03-12T16:46:00.001+11:002010-03-12T16:48:17.966+11:00Virtua Fighter 5<object height="265" width="320"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6RxJkKA7KOI&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6RxJkKA7KOI&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object><br />

I can't believe I'm still playing this game. Not that the game is bad - I love Virtua Fighter over <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tekken_%28series%29">Tekken</a> or <a href="http://www.deadoralivegame.com/">Dead or Alive</a>. But the scope of this game makes me question my sanity. Some of the achievements involve fighting and defeating the various AI players that are scattered throughout the many arcades. I'm guessing that there are over 1000 AI players... and I plan to beat every single one of them. Eventually.Devinquesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13017067208293483079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310448588682372209.post-60076082740003939942010-03-09T15:42:00.000+11:002010-03-09T15:42:38.623+11:00WWE Legends of Wrestlemania & 20K Gamerpoints<object height="295" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CfQvZEXFnjA&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CfQvZEXFnjA&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br />

I hit the 20,000 Gamerpoint mark on the weekend by finishing WWE Legends of Wrestlemania. I enjoyed it more than the standard Smackdown Vs Raw series, but it's still not a patch on the old <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxcigoGshcA">WCW/NWO Revenge</a> game on N64 or the even older <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uO529MYnous">WWF Wrestlefest</a> arcade game. If anyone's interested in comparing, wrestling games are a very good example of how graphics have evolved throughout the years.Devinquesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13017067208293483079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310448588682372209.post-83031595433889046232010-03-04T14:01:00.000+11:002010-03-04T14:01:35.041+11:00Tinker - A Free Game for Windows<object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/j1Nf8TcdaH0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/j1Nf8TcdaH0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />

In my never-ending quest for more Gamerpoints, I downloaded the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/games/en-US/index.aspx">Games for Windows Live client</a> last night to get access to <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/games/en-us/games/pages/tinker.aspx">Tinker</a>, a free puzzle game, and the 200GP it holds.<br />

Whether or not you care about Achievements and Gamerpoints, free games are always of interest. I'll post a review when I get stuck into it.Devinquesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13017067208293483079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310448588682372209.post-28495273851341014892010-03-03T12:13:00.000+11:002010-03-03T12:13:02.070+11:00Halo 3 ODST - Part 2<object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sI9QG0buPzc&rel=0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sI9QG0buPzc&rel=0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />

Only had a spare ten minutes to play last night, but managed to find the last audio log and get the associated Achievement. I've resisted listening to these logs because I wanted to hear them all in one sitting - which I can do now. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8vujEfF1D8">You can too</a>, if you don't have the game.Devinquesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13017067208293483079noreply@blogger.com0
