Once, Crazy Frog swept the world. You found it everywhere. In Maxi CDs, CF and even in the road, everywhere! Now, Hatsune Miku's show time in Japan.

This little girl (only 158cm & 42kg) was born by Vocaloid, Yamaha's voice program which only needs lyrics and melody to produce a complete song.

So, how much famous in Japan?

Miku's Tokyo Live

Dynamite Jack : iPhone Game

Dynamite Jack is the game finding the exit by depending only on flashlight hiding from securities in the dark maze.

Seeing above, you should escape from securities' flashlights not to be a food for powder. But because the maze is complicated and the control on touch screen is not easy, you are caught to be dead absurdly. And that's why you might feel this is not easy.

Running away here and there, you can get a dynamite. Then, you can set it everywhere and can blow it anytime. But you should find the retreat because securities come in crowd once it's blown.

It reminded you 'Bomberman'? Me, too!

Alan Wake with XBOX

3rd person shooting psychological action game! Quite long but contains every game factor.

Alan who was a bestselling writer but can't write even a single letter any more visited the city 'Bright Falls' with his wife for a vacation. But now, he should fight with The Darkness which took his wife away.

The game consists of 6 episodes(4 in CD & 2 from Online Download) and it flows like dramas. (Like before the next episode begins, the narration 'Previously on~~~' comes out)

This is Bright Falls!

Because he should fight against the Darkness, he can chase it(or them) only at night. Several weapons available, but The Light is the Best.

A flashlight beats enemies with a knife, an ax or even a chainsaw.

Annoying crows keep my head up like painting Genesis!

Energizer for my flashlight!

You should collect manuscripts in the road fighting or moving around. The events which already happened or will happen are all written there.

No need to read them all 'cause you will experience them in the game anyway.

You will keep surprised even in the end of a game by enemies' sudden appearances because they come out from the darkness. The darkness increases the concentration on the game but you will easily get tired even after 1 hour's play.

The game studio, Remedy took 5 years to develop this game and as a reward it was chosen as TOP 10 Video Game of The Year on 2010 by Times.

Where's My Perry?

Once, EA ruled Appstore's game category, but now Time for Disney!!

They are all Disney's

As seeing Disney re-established 'Disney Mobile' on 2008 which had been closed on 2007, 1 year after it established first, Disney seems to put value on smartphone's contents market more than pre-smartphone's. But, not so big as established only in Japan.

Unlike EA, Disney shows interests in various categories, but  games they publish in appstore gets good rate from the customers. Where's My Perry?, too.

Easy to play. You even can play it with a thumb walking. Just open the waterway to dispatch Agent Perry.

Try to hit the purple person? santa? elf? for more scores.

But why does it remind me MIB?

Bayonetta, The 1st game of XBOX I have ever seen the ending in my life

I chose it because it looks easier than Ninja Gaiden. Actually, Team Ninja Gaiden produced it as an easier version of Ninja Gaiden. Yet, it was praised in many game magazines.

As you see above, she is the heroin and wears nothing but long long hair. Once she spells, her hair is scattered in the sky. (Sorry dude, Nothing you can see.)

The game story is that the witch who raised from being sealed 500 years ago faces to The One. But is it important? Just Bang! Break! Beat whatever blocks my way!!

It's very very easy to play. Just press buttons in a random then you can see splendid skills are activated. A little complaints because skills are really activated by my buttons but who cares!! 

Anyway, it is ended just like this.

I have exchanged my one night sleep with it but it was worth!! The first ending scene of XBOX games I saw in my life!!!!

So, Tell the Girls That Flash Won't Back in Mobile Town

After 2 years since Steve Jobs left "Thoughts on Flash" on Apple's website, it's decided that Flash won't be supported by Android anymore, either. It means Flash leaves mobile market permanently.

Of course, you still can see Flash on Windows 8 but it won't be like before.

So, Coca-Cola, how about you?

iphone game "Hanger"

Easy to play and no need to hurry but quite cruel to keep watching, iphone game 'Hanger' is here.

The left 2 Buttons are for swinging the character back and forward. The right button is for shooting the line like Spiderman. The most important thing to play this game is the timing. To get the better points, you should try to use less lines with good timing.

Also, watch out various obstacles. Once hit, you lose your bodyparts. You should keep playing while your character is bleeding. It's quite cruel even though the character doesn't seem like a real person.

Once you reached to the finish line, you see this screen. As you see, Time is not the issue. So just relax and enjoy Bleeding Playing.

Haptic in Galaxy S3!!

Samsung Elec.'s partner company 'Immersion' had announced that patent technology 'Hatpic' is applied to Galaxy S3.

So, what is 'Haptic'?

Haptic refers to the sense of touch from ancient Greek 'Haptesthai', which takes advantage of the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations or motions to the users. In layman's terms, now, you feel various vibrations if you pull out 'Sling' or pig's castle is collapsed in Angry Birds.

Now, you can enjoy 'THE IMPACT' while you play smartphone games without any consoles. And this is going to bring the big change of the mobile game market.

What about iphone5? Will you accept it, too?

10000000 (iphone game)

Dungeon Crawling RPG Matching Game, 10000000's aim is to get 10000000 points.

This is the first page. The black holes are for upgrading your character and the wooden door for entering to the game. But it's a little bit boring because it takes quite long time to reach to each place, (Especially to the bottom-left hole!!)

Once you choose the wooden door, you see the quests. Try to win as many as you can.

This is the play screen. Try to match more than 3 tiles depending on the situation. And collect woods, boxes and stones during undisturbed walk. Yes, you will be quite busy.

I have played this game these days but I am not even close to 1,000,000points!!! Am I that poor at this kind of game? I don't think so because I haven't found any ending image of this game. (Or am I also poor at googling?)

Anyway, If you liked 'Bejeweled', you might be interested in this game, too. enjoy~~~

Kingdom Rush in the History

I love 'Kingdom Rush'. Compared to other defense games, it's quite difficult but its addiction, cute characters, easy UI, great music and wonderful voice acting never let me go.


So, I investigated that all the weapons in this game really exist in the history.

1. The Dagger of MILITIA 

 

It looks like a 'Gladius' of ancient Roman infantry. You already have seen it in the movie 'Gladiator'. Because of ancient Roman infantry's phalanx, to swing a sword which is more than 1 meter(40 in) was almost impossible in the battle. So, short sword, Dagger is developed. And Most of Daggers' length in that time was between 50~70cm.(20~30 in)

2. The Throwing Axe of BARBARIAN

 

The axe of Barbarian appears to be the throwing Axe, Francisca(Francisque) which was usually used by Franci who moved to ancient Rome with Germans.(Unfortunately, Francisca is just one sided throwing axe.) 


Unlike to American Indian's Tomahawk, Francisca was very powerful giving 2nd damage to the enemies by being bounced off the ground falls after flying. In particular a very deadly weapon to the phalanx of ancient Roman infantry. According to the Franci's code, Francisca is only allowed to the adults and regarded as a sacred weapon so it shouldn't be sold or bought once it belonged to a man.








3. The Cannon of BOMBARD

 

It seems that Urban's Bombard of Ottoman Turks which caused the fall of Byzantine Empire was the motif. Actually, it's hard to say pinch because most of the cannons look similar, but cannons before Urban was just big sized guns but Urban's Bombard showed 
fearsome aggression distinctly separated to the gun.


Even though Byzantine Empire was in the middle of Europe and Middle East, it could last more than 1000 years thanks to Constantinopolis' triple walls. But on May 29th 1453, impregnable Constantinopolis' walls have collapsed and it lead the fall of Byzantine Empire.


But it took more than 3 hours to load and fire a single shell and couldn't fire 7 shells top in a day. And 30 four-wheeled carriages, 60 cattles and 200 peoples were required to move one Bombard and apart from this, additionally 250 soldiers should have repaired roads and bridges ahead.


Despite of this serious drawbacks, once it is fired, the walls of Constantinopolis had become a ragged. Finally, the history of 1000 years had been disappeared only by the attacks of 6 weeks.

4. The Bow of HERO (ALLERIA SWIFTWIND)

  

It must be the the longbow which brought the victory to British troops on Hundred Years' War. Unlike to Mongolian bow, it was produced extremely big to maximize the damage. A Well-trained archer could have shoot a arrow to 10 seconds and one to 6 seconds top for rapid-shooting. 


It required highly skilled archers so that all the archers should have received intensive training. Instead, they received a much better treatment compared to other soldiers and even could use horses to move to the battlefield.








* All are just my opinion. Just read it for fun.

Sur40

Sur40, MS and Samsung Elec.'s 40 inch multi-touch table computer has been released in the end of 2011. Still not bringing big interests (Probably because of its price, $9049) but for me very attractive because my studio is developing a game for it.

Here are our main characters.

I think we can release it very soon. I will show it asap.
