A Local made car. Whose name i won't mention since you all never know anyway 7 yrs old but still servicable and does not consume a lot of petrol. And it si metallic silver which is almost equal to grey.

Umm, yeah. Somehow, i am not so interested in this anymore.

I'll pass on 2K. I hate the pesky strikers system

Welcome back. In Chinese, we would be saying you have long life since me and Fatal just talking about you not so long ago.

I bet you can't beat me on pre-KOF2003

I bring my Asianness

When have I ever posted a chat log we had? I'm just teasing I know you are responsible.

he didn't ask me

Seriously, Ryan. You should stop posting your chat with 1emu members. If i know BK correctly, he won't like it. He is very private about his privacy. What stays in IRC should stay in IRC.

Welcome cindy. We are a naughty bunch of boys here.

Why should it ever be anything but savory? Well, some people cannot stand or jealous of your manliness, hence the unsavory comments

Unless PCSX2 is available, i don't think that is an option for me I can see your point. But comparing it to a console version is not doing it any justice.

Well, Fatal Rose always invite the savory and unsavory comments

Put it this way, if it was a GoW2 port it would have much more to offer. This game is more like half a PS2 GoW. BK, as pessimistic as ever. Well, you are right in term of length, i guess. BUT, GOW also offers 2 weapon choices, same as GOW for PSP. well, just "get" it

lol, you should read it more carefully.

I was elated by the election change in Malaysia

Have you play it? You might like it I am on my 3rd play through on hardest difficulty now. I kinda like it now despite its short length. But the Challenge of Hades is still a tough nut to crack. Not being able to beat the challenge

read my review

Review: God Of War: Chain Of Olympus System: PSP Finally! The game that most PSP owners have been waiting for. This game was first hinted in God of War II's manual for PS2. It is enough to get every GOW fans and even non fans excited as GOW series has been known for its epic setting, gorgeous graphics, interesting gameplay and puzzle solving. Frankly, I was hoping for the best as Ready At Dawn Studios has done it on PSP with Daxter, bringing us console quality gameplay and graphics on this powerful handhelds. So, how does RAD Studios fares with their 2nd outings on PSP? Graphics: This is it. The BEST LOOKING GAME EVER ON PSP, yes, even better than Crisis Core: FVII from Square Enix which already spotting gorgeous CGI and cutscenes. Graphics in GOW:COO is always sharp and clear. You can see clearly what is happening on the small PSP screen even if it is just some background movement. For example, in the first level where the Persian fleet is attacking the Spartan city, you can see the vessels on the sea, firing fire arrows at the city and it was a magnificent view in spite that all these are happening on PSP screen. You can see Kratos clearly with all his animations, the ever pissed off look on his ugly face, and decorated costume. The levels are all beautifully rendered, with one of my favorite level, Temple of Helios is showing off the power of PSP-rendered graphics with polished marbles reflecting the surrounding and beautiful lightning and shadow effect. In fact, this PSP version even manage to capture the grandious setting, the mega epic feel that is synonymous with the series with vast setting and huge levels to explore. The only downside trying to portray these grandeur is the camera will zoom out to show the vast surrounding and make Kratos 2mm tall on the screen. As what Gamespot's review mentioned, a 2mm tall person won't scare anyone Still, this is only a minor gripe and it will not lessen the enjoyment of playing this game. Graphics: 10/10 (this is THE game to show off and impress people) Sound: If there is no compromise in bringing console quality graphics to the PSP for this game, the same can be said in the sound department too. The voice acting is superb in this game, with Kratos sounding as pissed off as ever, menacing and still fatherly-like when need to (part fo the story, you will know when you reach it). From what I read, the voice acting for Kratos and the narrator were the same people that been doing the voice acting for GOW1 & 2 for PS2, so the quality is there. The bgm and sound effects are all there with the exciting and fast beat soundtracks to pump up your adrenalin while you carve off a path of your own in the game. Best enjoyed with a pair of good earphones. Sound: 10/10 Controls: I found the controls responsive and easy to use. You have the usual weak and strong attack and jump. And when you have acquired, magic, you only need to press the Right Shoulder Button + the face buttons to activate it. And to dodge, simply press both shoulder buttons and dodge to the direction you want using the analog stick. It works really well and didn't take long to get used to. in fact, the control is so responsive that sometimes I accidentally press grab button while doing a combo and the grab did come out immediately despite Kratos is in heavy action. Controls: 10/10 (very responsive) Story: The story was set before GOW 1. it narrates the story of Kratos while he is still in the service of the Greek gods and the story here is like one of the adventures he face during that period. Frankly, the story is just adequate for this game. it is well told but you feel like it could have been more. It didn't reveal much of Kratos's past (did he has a rich history anyway? ) but it is enough to give Kratos to be pissed off and kill anything in sight. Story: 7/10 (not the best story ever in a game but it is enough to get the game going) Gameplay: Blood, plenty of blood Finally, the meat of the game. it wouldn't be God Of War if we don't have the usual hack n slash, level exploring and the puzzle solving that is part and parcel of the series. Ready At Dawn Studio pull out all stops here and bring everything that you love on the PS2 series and put it in this PSP version, yes, even the sex mini game and the occasional nudity is in it. You have the usual combos to dish out mayhem to the enemies with chance to upgrade them through the red orbs that you find in chests or simply kill the enemies. You will also obtain equipments and new weapons along the way that help you in killing off the numerous enemies that you used to see in GOW 1 & 2. New weapons are not many but they are adequate to provide some alternatives, plus the magic that you are able to use, you'll have plenty to come out with some big combos. Most of the enemies are making a comeback here, from the green snake-haired medusa to the huge cyclops. Killing these bastards are satisfying with the ability to perform some killing moves ala Shenmue button pressing to initiate those moves. The bosses are quite interesting to fight with too but most of the bosses are the same size as Kratos. In fact, there is ONLY ONE big boss fight in the whole game. I was a little disappointed with this as i was hoping for more big boss fights. But still, it didn't lessen the fun of playing this game. The game was evenly paced out with more emphasis on combat actions peppered with some platforming and puzzle solving in between. i like the way RAD pace out the game as it give us time to gawk at the gorgeous graphics in some of the wonderful levels. But the problem with this game is the length of the game. You are able to finish this game in under 5 hrs at your first run in normal mode. And this was done with all the moves upgraded and all secret areas found. A bit short but you can always replay the game with harder difficulty and with different costumes that you unlocked (lol, the SPUD OF WAR costume!). Of course, completing the game will unlock the Challenge of the Hades where you have to perform specific objectives to complete these challenges, and these challenges are not easy. I am still stuck at the 2nd challenges and there are 5 overall. The first one took me about 7 tries before i managed to beat it. The replay value is not much but I would say it still warrant at least 2 - 3 playthroughs. Gameplay: 9/10 (the length of the game might be a big put off to some, but I think it is satisfying enough. In fact, it does better than a lot of other PSP games where we only played it once) Overall: Graphics: 10/10 Sound : 10/10 Controls: 10/10 Story : 7/10 Gameplay: 9/10 Overall : 9.2/10 Yes, Ready At Dawn Studio has done it again. They have dispel the myth that PSP can't handle console gaming experience on a handheld. One of the best PSP games and it is definitely the 2008 PSP game of the year for now.

6 buttons are too much. more buttons = more animations needed. Seems like an overkill. I prefer SNK style where they add direction+buttons to execute some moves rather than an extra button for it.

Did you, Gryph? Anyway, this is great news for musicians wannabe

Gasp! It's Robert!!!

Playing God Of War: Chain of Olympus on PSP. If you will only play one game on PSP, this game must be the one. Graphically stunning (I swear it look like the PS2 version, the stunning interior of the temple of Helios is marvelous and gorgeous), keeping the same gameplay that make it fun, bringing back the mini sex game, more monster to kill, gorgeous cutscenes...damn, damn good game. And you do not even see a loading screen on ISO so I assume playing from UMD would give almost the same result.

well, it should be a point and click game, if we know Ryan

You dun look like an emu author to me, MasterPHW
