e-Games launches 1st mobile games for Philippines
Oct 22nd
IP E-Game Ventures Inc (e-Games), the online gaming subsidiary of publicly listed IPVG Corp., Megamobile, IPVG’s mobile application developer and 3D animation studio BeeHive digital, are proud to announce the release of new mobile Java games for its top online role playing game titles.
e-Games is releasing three mobile games for its school-based 3D MMORPG (massively multiplayer online roleplaying game) RAN Online, and another three mobile games for Granado Espada, the 3D MMORPG from famed legendary game producer Hakkyu Kim.
While most mobile games are created with a world audience in mind, these new mobile games were created exclusively for the Philippine market.
According to Manny Fernando, Megamobile president, e-Games will be one of the first online gaming publishers to bring their gaming titles on a mobile phone. He said that the popularity of e-Games titles is immense and these mobile games are just perfect for the players who can’t get enough of RAN Online and Granado Espada. Each game is uniquely designed with different fighting moves and strategies to defeat opponents.
Unlike their on-line gaming format, the mobile java version was adopted to be more of a casual and fun single player game. “By bringing the titles through their mobile phones, e-Games can continue engaging the gamers with their favorite titles even when their off-line. Since most of the Filipinos have mobile phones, we feel that it’s logical to extend their gaming experience to a small screen format”.
Using Java enabled phones, the mobile games can be downloaded via WAP or SMS.
The following mobile games are:
* Karuso’s Escape – Control Karuso and fight your way out of the Dungeon and go head to head with Evil Max in the Final Stage.
* RAN Girls’ Jealousy – Stop Mica and her female friends from spreading nasty rumors about you. Let the fight begin.
* Swordsman – Help the mysterious Swordsman to defeat the evil Leenakt and free his soul
* Little Red Riding Elementalist – The bid bad wolf is out to get Little Red Riding Elementalist. Use your punches and your kicks to stop the wolf
* Musketeer’s Wrath – Avenge your family and Kill Raptor with your mastered skill of gun fighting and brawls!
* GE Girls’ Fight – Fight with all your might and stop Garette from conquering your clan.
Ed Pasion, e-Games vice president for marketing, said that these mobile games based on their hit gaming titles will likewise reach players new to online gaming.
“These exclusively developed mobile games will keep our current players entertained and wanting for more. But more importantly it’ll reach to new players who have yet to experience the incredible virtual worlds of RAN Online and Granado Espada. Our mobile games will provide them a glimpse on how utterly fun our titles are,” he said.

Synergy Through Online Gaming
Oct 22nd
While most parents spend their quality time with their children by going out on dinners, mall shopping or some other typical family gathering, the Ognita parents do it by playing their kids’ favorite online game.
At first glance, the Ognitas seem like a typical Filipino family – the parents make a living by operating a school bus service, with several farming and business ventures on the side. But their home is anything but ordinary as it has six networked computers for playing Supreme Destiny, a popular fantasy MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game).
Why im sticking to World of Warcraft
Oct 7th
After all the hoopla surrounding World of Warcraft’s new expansion, i got to talk to one of my friends who plays WoW and Asian made MMO’s. You know what i heard? “I’d rather play World of Warcraft than another Asian MMO”. or something to that effect. And that made me say “I’m actually reactivating my account now, lets gather up some friends and go play WoW!”
I have been quoted as saying that once you have actually played WoW, everything else pales in comparison. That still holds true today. Say what you will about Everquest 2, Lineage 2, City of Heroes and other big name MMOs, nothing compares to World of Warcraft. Yet. More >

Does Nintendo care about Metroid Prime Corruption?
Sep 7th
It looks like Nintendo of America is soooo busy doing PR’s for Wii Fit and Super Smash Brawl that it has forgotten one of the games that gave hope to the Gamecube (not that it had enough, but thats another story). I talked about how Nintendo moved away from catering to the hardcore gamers, and now IGN itself has posted an editorial on how Nintendo has treated Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
Here are snippets from IGN’s editorial about how Nintendo has failed to market one of its biggest franchises to the hardcore gamer. More >

On Assassin’s Creed and AI Awareness
Aug 7th
Anybody else see those awesome Assassin’s Creed gameplay videos at E3? No, not the ones with hottie dev Jade Reynolds, but the ones where protagonist Altair moves throughout 12th century Jerusalem. First Altair dives off a building onto a haystack, then casually walks with citizens. He deftly avoids a barricade by throwing a soldier off a roof to set off a distraction and uses an overarching beam to hang on and flip himself to the other side of the barricade. People also notice you while you walk and move, like when you start to climb a building. You can hear them saying “What is he doing?” or “he’s trying to get himself killed”. A new kind of AI or just longer code? More >
