ACE R (JP) Release date announced

Mecha fans! 19/08/2010 will see the release of ACE R on the PS3 (JAPAN ONLY). This is big news for me since I've been a fan of the PS2 ACE games. What makes this series unique is the collaborations with several mecha anime, combined into an easy to digest action game with a decent storyline. Pilot mecha from Code Geass R2, Gundam, Macross F, and more.



Acid Black Cherry's 'Re:birth' makes a debut in the PV and for that I'm in awe, Yasu's voice is just mesmerizing. Personally speaking, this is the only reason why I should own a PS3. Like how the 2nd game got me into getting a PS2.

The Chat room

VorpalLord from the PSOW forums had established a chat room back in March for anyone to group up, discuss the game, general chat and other stuff like youtube links. It's the way to go if you want to make PSPo2 friends/on-line progression.



The PSPo2 chat room is here - http://xat.com/psp2. Read and follow the rules once you're on the page.

• Have your character name and level as your chat user name.


• Feel free to greet everyone, it's hard for first timers since I've witnessed it myself.


• Sometimes it can be empty, quiet or people are just busy playing.


• Do take the initiative to create your own party and ask for those who are free to join.

I'm still active and will get on-line during the following times: 1AM-6AM (GMT) / 8PM-1AM (EST). They're all estimates but depending on the day I'll be in there earlier, later or not at all. Can't escape the great outdoors if the sun is out!

Mid-term START!

Been on hiatus for a few days now, going out and about sure racks up on your spendings. The mid-term holidays have kicked in for the rest of us in the UK so updates will be from unfinished posts or none at all. Will be getting back to the usual routine once I've sorted out a few things, for now I shall rest and recover since being ill can really get me down.



Oh! I've playing PSU Episode 1 for a mind refreshment (2/3 years since I've completed it) and it has been fun. I even tweet my sessions whenever I start, encounter a good scene and when I stop. Playing off-line sure is lonely... haha.

Project Diva 2 Update

About nine weeks and a day to go for release so there's plenty of time for Sega to tease us. Announced today is a small showcase of costumes that you can expect, along with a songs such 'Just be Friends', 'Roshin Yuukai' and more. Start!

I really should work on a new layout for posting videos *scratches head*

Phantasy Star Portable 2 for EU/US

It's been announced a few days ago but I haven't been bothered to mention it here. Some readers don't check everything but I'm sure this will be new news to those who are interested in playing it! SEGA announces PSPo2 for the US/EU this fall.



Sega could have uploaded a better screen capture compared to the ones I take *shrug*

It's great news for those who have been holding off with the import. In the mean time you can chew on what I have to offer; depending how it goes with me and this game, I would still cover the JP events if they are to happen after release.

My biggest concern is the connectivity of servers. Whether it's going to be free-for-all i.e. allowing JP players to connect with both EU/US (PSU360 offers this due to it being on the X360 servers) or region locked to your specific continent.

Another thing I mentioned were the release dates for EU; Phantasy Star Portable and Phantasy Star Zero were released a few months after the US version. This could happen again, if so then I'm sure the servers will be region locked for infrastructure/on-line mode. Won't decide on anything yet as we'll get answers as the game nears release this fall.
