Yay Tetris!

Thinking back, I’m pretty sure Tetris was the first game I ever played. Probably on one of my cousin’s Gameboys.

I never had a Gameboy but I can specifically remember leaning toward the car window to try and catch some bit of light since it was at night when I was playing the game and those damn Gameboys weren’t back lit.

Remember that?

I mean, think way back since that was a while ago and you’ve soaked your memory with those things that clipped on to the Gameboys so you could play at night in a dark room – I should look up what those were called. You know what I”m talking about, right?

Anyway, EA Mobile announced that Tetris has had over 100 million paid downloads on mobile phones since 2005 and for that, Tetris wins the gold star for providing millions and millions of people a device with which to procrastinate.

Go, Tetris!

One of the most anticipated games of the year, Spore, will be releasing a Spore Creature Creator (retail and free demo available) on 17th June. The free demo will be made available on Spore website on that fateful day.

The Spore Creature Creator gives Spore fans, and those who are creatively curious, the first hands-on opportunity to design their own species and share it with their friends. All creatures designed with the Spore Creature Creator can be imported into the full retail version of Spore for PC and Mac when it launches on September 5, 2008 in Europe and September 7, 2008 in North America.

We can’t wait.

Business Wire is reporting that Sonic the Hedgehog can be downloaded from the iTunes Store for $4.99.

Can’t think of what to get someone for Christmas?

Well here’s your cheap inexpensive solution for your favorite iPod toting Sonic lover.

I will say though that I went to iTunes.com to try and find a link directly to the game.

No luck.

So, happy hunting.

I hope you have better luck than I did.

There are many content regulations including points that are discouraged, such as violence, and those that are encouraged, such as promotion of Chinese culture, patriotism, and national ethics. Also, highly creative games and those that do not encourage addictive tendencies are favorable.

The reason for such violence was that the CEO did not trust this poor programmer. The programmer insisted that he did not make any tweaks without permission for a mobile game named Buddha’s Palm Mobile (mobile version of Ru Lai Online) but the CEO refused to believe and accused him of screwing up the game and not meeting the company’s deadline.

By the way, the VP used her high heel shoe as a weapon. Talk about dual use, lol.

Yes, that’s REAL blood…of the game programmer

Head injuries

Scratches too

Anyway, here’s a picture taken with a bubbly Samsung girl. Sharks, I forgot to ask her name and number.

You can check out their latest handphone models, with games definitely.

P.S: Thanks to the girl or you, if you are reading this. ^-^

This ultimate video game ban applys to all his family members including his two older kids. And they are not allowed to watch TV with the exception of movies. Duh.

I guess I will choose Nintendo Wii rather than a Hollywood dad.

I wish we can see her next year at E3, but not her games.
