Hey Hey everybody! It’s Tommy Tseng, back from holidays in Taiwan!

Yes yes, its been quite a while since I came back, but I’ve been busy! Heh, anyway….
For those readers still in here, not to worry! I’m..still..here..kinda!

Anyway, onto PS3 news -

With Crysis already out, PC Gamers have probably been locked up in their room with their brand new powerful PCs playing Crysis 24/7. Whether they’re playing the awesome (yet, a little, unsatisfying) multiplayer, or the ABSOLUTELY shockingly fun,exciting,orgasmic singleplayer (yes, I know, because I have in the past satisfied a whole week just playing the SP demo all over again, after I got my new PC ;) 8800GT pride!)
Whether it’s destroying an entire outpost by chucking grenades and wrecking havoc from the top of a mountain with your rifles, or just running in with your fists, grabbing and chucking soldiers onto rooftops, gazing in awe at the AMAZING physics and volumetric smoke, you’re NEVER bored. I’m serious! And if you don’t want to attack, you can just stay on your little car’s machine gun and cut down the monstrous amount of trees in the game. Cause global warming in the game, not in real life, k? ;)

Anyways…I’m supposed to be a PS3 blogger right…hahaha. Ok ok, back onto the real story…
If we backtrack to quite a while ago, I wrote a post about how Crysis would most likely be on the PS3 (promotional boxes, Crytek hiring a PS3 Console Programmer). Well, great news - seems it may be true!

Seems like Playstation World UK insiders are stating that Crysis may be an exclusive game to the PS3! Seems the Xbox 360 may not in fact have Crysis after all!

However, I know most of you are longing for it, yet are dreading that it may be ‘another poor PC to console port’, like what the guys over at www.1pstart.com said a while ago on The Orange Box. Anyway, perhaps this may not happen, as it has been stated that the PS3 version will have extra game modes as well as extra features. Extra features, more than the PC version? I sure know I’M excited.

Oh and that reminds me…I nearly got a PS3 over the holidays! I was at the Taiwan Comp Expo, and they were selling a 40GB PS3 for around $550 AUD. From what I remember, I knew it was REALLY CHEAP, and was about to buy it…except for the fact that my family cautioned me not to, as there was the problem of PAL/NTSC. Ah bummer. Well, we’ll have to see next time ;)

Also, seems like Sony may not be losing the console war after all! Seems like Sony may be able to top 200 000 units sold in February in Australia! Yes, Aussie-land! And if they do this..they may be set on a road to overtake the Wii and the Xbox 360! Hooray!

On a mysterious note, Sony has also stated that they have major exclusives for the PS3..in works. Seems like theres over 20, and they haven’t been revealed yet. Oh bummer. Guess we’ll have to wait for that, eh? ;)

Also, here is a photo from the Taipei 101 fireworks I saw on New Years Eve…absolutely GORGEOUS if you were there, live. Missed it? Come back in I think 2 more years. If your Chinese you’ll know what I mean ;) (Hint: Calendar)
