Games: MaiMai danceroid game

Well this is a rather interesting arcade game to play. Ever wondered what it was to be like a Danceroid, them cute dancing Japanese girls on NicoNico Douga jiving to J-pop? You find the current arcade dance games that have you stepping on pads, waving at sensors and swiping your fingers on a touch screen to tame for you? Then look no further. MaiMai appears to be working on the principles as the Kinect using a camera and sensors that read your movement and match it on poinrs set by the game. The games BGM selection still seems rather limited but other wise has some of the more popular danceroid covers including Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s Pon Pon song, Tsubasa Hanekawa’s Fuwa Fuwa theme and, of all things, Caramell Dansen. I might actually give this thing a whirl. Maybe some other time.

Moon Over the Castle – Masahiro Andoh

Any bona fide Gran Turismo fan knows well and true that theme that Masahiro Andoh has written solely for the game series.  It has, as GT’s  gameplay and attention to graphical details, become so popular to the point that a lot of players would go to the ends of the earth to get the Japanese version of the game just to get the Japanese intro with iconic progressive rock theme.

Wii’s We Dare

Apparently Ubisoft Europe has found an interesting use for Wii’s innovative motion technology.

Where by video game companies these days are well aware that *ahem* gratuitous exploitation of sexual innuendo definitely sells for those in the mature gaming audience, Ubisoft has upped the ante.  They’re coming out with what could be the most risque game to ever hit the shelves and it hardly even involves a scantily clad character.

Gran Turismo 5 is out

Time to get me a PS3 and start laying some digital rubber on the virtual race tracks.  Looking forward to hearing, again, that most glorious anthem, “Moon Over the Castle”.

Alice: Madness Returns trailer

FOCK YES! Teaser to the sequel of American McGee’s Alice. The game I was playing over a decade ago while people were gaga over Counterstrike and Q3.

Gaming Musumes pt 2

So, after a rather uneventful lazy Sunday whereas I ended up heading to the barber after working on some articles and stuff thereby preventing any possibility of picking up my Figma Marisa from a friend who recently arrived from Japan.

Meanwhile, the girls thought they expand on their gaming activities since the last time.

"Letsa Go~!"
