Get Your BioShock today!

2007-09-14T12:31:00.000+08:00

I don't think I need to say too much about this game. It is easily one of the most anticipated game this year for the XBOX360 platform and it is also available on the PC.

After your plane crashes into icy uncharted waters, you discover a rusted bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea. Constructed as an idealistic society for a hand picked group of scientists, artists and industrialists, the idealism is no more. Now the city is littered with corpses, wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors as little girls loot the dead, and genetically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn. BioShock forces you to question the lengths to which you will go and how much of your humanity you will sacrifice...to save your own life.

BioShock is loaded with some of greatest, most modifiable weapons to ever blast their way into a shooter. But guns alone won’t be enough to defeat the devious AIs of Rapture. There are literally hundreds of other strategies players can use to take out his enemies.

BioShock is a first-person shooter developed by 2K Boston/ 2K Australia.

Puzzle goodness for cheap!

2007-09-12T11:15:00.001+08:00

One thing you can be sure with Nintendo is that once they find a formula for success, they won't let it go. Brain Age, Sudoku and other puzzle games such as Tetris and Meteos have traditionally done well for the Nintendo DS. So it is no surprise that they will revive one of the hits from Gameboy days, Picross.

Players will have to have speedy fingers and even faster minds to conquer the many puzzles available in this puzzle game. Picross DS offers quick and accessible entertainment for everyone, irrespective of age or experience.

The game is addictive to say the least.

Relive the magic of Ratatouille

2007-09-04T17:04:00.000+08:00

Players will relive all the film's thrilling and hilarious moments as they assume the role of Remy, a young rat who dreams of becoming a great French chef, despite the obvious problem of being a rat!

I don't usually endorse games that are tied in with movies, but this is going for a steal for the XBOX360 version. The Wii version is not that cheap but still pretty affordable. Not exactly the world's most fantastic game, but if you want to collect everything about the movie, then you can't miss out on this.

Rock it with Guitar Hero II

2007-09-04T12:01:00.001+08:00

When Guitar Hero II was announced for the XBOX 360, it was one of the most anticipated games to arrive on this Microsoft console. The Playstation 2 version was great but the XBOX 360 version received a step up in graphics. Although not necessary, it is still pretty cool to see it jazzed up.

Gameplay remains the same. It is still as fun rocking to the songs found in Guitar Hero II (whether you know the songs or not). You can rock with your friends as well, choosing either to be the lead or the bass. And it is even better when you can download new songs from XBOX Live.

With Guitar Hero III coming up, you can still pick this up to get accustomed to the Guitar Hero tradition.

Metroid Prime 3 Corruption

2007-09-03T15:56:00.000+08:00

Developed by Retro Studios, Metroid Prime 3 Corruption is one of the most awaited games to hit Nintendo's highly successful next-gen gaming console, the Nintendo Wii.

Metroid Prime 3 is a 3D first person adventure game. I hesitate to call it a shooter because there is much more to the game than just randomly blasting your way through hordes of enemies.

It is the tenth game of the series and the final installment of the Metroid Prime trilogy. Using the Wiimote and Nunchuk, the new control scheme is bound to have you drooling over the capabilities of the Wii. If you have a Wii, then this game is not to be missed.

The concept...

2007-09-03T14:42:00.001+08:00

In the bid to push original games, we need to exercise our rights to stretch the value of our RM. Therefore, rather than create another gaming blog that presents news and reviews (which will be outdated and incomparable to renowned sites), I decided to create one that will focus on finding what could possibly be the best value for your hard-earned cash.

Of course, I will need your help so if you know any shop that sells games for cheap, then do let me know by emailing info.gfc@gmail.com
