NEO GEO X GOLD LIMITED EDITION 「Regret to own」

Cantonese / Tradition Chinese / English )







This product released on 2012 with beautiful design.  At that time, I found there were appeared in second-hand market, who resell it at 90% new.  I am thinking what is the problem until  to I write here. 


That's not cheap.  The console sold at HKD 1580, and the games selling at HKD 300-600 per volume.    Afterward, the producer declaring discontinued, you can see the picture showing  the Vol.1-5 which doesn't fully collect all of NEO GEO games.  Although, it can be jailbreak, I am here to telling you it is not perfect for all games, some of its cannot run normal. 

Its also can run arcade files, such as CAPCOM game from NAME.  You should press R1 to insert coins for play, but you cannot play it with big joystick, because which has no R1 button.  You are force to play emulators on the handheld console.  Also, SNES and MD games, which can not save the game process. 


The handheld console may not prefect on screen display, but the sound are quite good when you connect to the headphone. 



I estimated it must buy NEO GEO PACK 1 (Price of HKD 518), inside the USB cable could update the sound and picture output.  If you not do that, I think it may meet problem with some HDTV.  As my knowledge, there are no sound when I use it connect to KDL Series of SONY HDTV.

Undeniably, the HDMI output only 480p, but the screen " slightly " better than a computer output to TV.

However, I consider the problem as above, particularly the emulators run not prefect as computer.  I decided not to spend money on VOL.1 PACK (1580 added 518, it is the price for PS3 console, which is too expensive!). Fortunately, I succeed resold it within 7 days.  Its just loss a dinner. 



After testing, this joystick can support  PS3 or PC.  So,  I spend HKD 280 to got 1 for my collection.  I can use it to play PS STORE or PC emulators.  It is better than keep 1 set of NEO GEO X. 

Finally, I am here to suggest you think twice before you buy.  If you only love the designed, thats is good.  But put it  on the functional considerations, which will be disappointed.  Although this console has been discontinued, which said fewer and fewer, but i believe there are still a lot of inventory on the market.

PS3 CRYSIS 3

Cantonese / Tradition Chinese / English )




A normal FPS game with no surprise

The pervious chapter has introduced before:
CRYSIS 1
CRYSIS 2
Initially, the story line seem no relationship between 1st and 2nd episode.  In 3rd episode, the story line has been integrated and explained the sources of biological armor.  After 24 years from 2nd episode, the CELL enterprises used advanced technology in order to governance the New York.  Only 1 of armored holders being frozen, then who has rescued by rebels.  However, they found the CELL is not the ultimate performer, it is the aliens still behind the project.


The screen doesn't breakthrough on PS3.  It must affect the game fluency and the picture of clarity, if the setting are turning on the lens reflex effect.  So, here to suggest  turn it off in OPTION page. 


In the gameplay, a special bow added to the basic equipment.  It has made the game more section to sneak for assassination, which also is a major feature of it.

Conclusion:
This game has made a lot of advistment and grant some awards on it.  The price started at over HKD 300. 



After played , I feel there were no surprise.  The screen are so beautiful, but the game process with little bit lag.  

Due to the game length being shorten.  I suggest re-play the single with the hardest mood.  It's still feel funny.   Based on the price and various considerations, this game is worthy of recommendation.  It's just HKD 110.

IOS Trigger Chrono

Cantonese / Tradition Chinese / English )

 


This is RPG masterpiece, don't be missed
In Super Nintendo, this game has already so famous.  I Games Mask also played, but I am not understand the game instructions and the story, because  it is Japanese.  So, I give up at the old time.  I remember  its has launched English version.  However, my english not quite good during the school time.  It have become a kind of regret. 

Today, IOS has already launched a Chinese Version of its (You can turn to English).  Then, I can understand to command control and the story line.  Although the story seem old-fashioned, it has express a timeless romance. 




The battle mood is base on real-time basic, while not is the type like minesweeper.  Story would interspersed to different times, which affecting to the different results.  So far, this concept is still a breakthrough.

The cutscenes from PSone version does not record in IOS version.  I suggest you can finish it then find the missed cutscenes from Youtube.  Anyway, I think IOS is more convenient to play such type of old game. 

Conclusion:
Don't miss it, if you like old Japanese RPG.  Here is highly recommend.   The story through to different time, and this product launched until to now, which the creativity are showing it is remains a first-class shuttle work.

PS2/PS3 - Metal Gear Solid 2 HD

Cantonese / Tradition Chinese / English )



Much better than the 1st episode

Last time, it has been introduced the 1st episode.(METAL GEAR 1)


(The picture performance is better, when its ported to PS3)

The story line was after 2 years of last episode.  The Metal Gear develope technology has spread in the black market.  This time the protagonist of Snake who estabilsh a liberties groups, which the mission are destroy all the Metal Gear.  There are lot of mystery out of the lead, and associated to the new person - Radian.

New character - RADIEN

There are more specific explanation for next task compare with last episode.  So, if not read any walkthrough is OK.   Also, the game control is much better than last episode.  If who has played 1st chapter, then must be more familiar with operating.  Otherwise, who may take some time to practics or find some walkthrough.

The only 1 bad point is that too much dialogue.  I think some of these is not necessary, but it is incurable disease of Japanese style.  Nowadays, the picture were created by ten years ago, but its still beautiful with no bad feeling for playing a old game. 



The complete version of the selling price, it has already from HKD 388 dropped to HKD 338. (10.12.2013)


The game will issue a code being complete
TANKER-PLANT
CODE NAME
ELEPHANT

PS3 Medal of Honor Warfighter [Limited Edition]

Cantonese / Tradition Chinese / English )




Always some reason behind lower prices
I bought it at HKD 90. 
(30.11.2013)  I think EA + Medal of Honor must be a better game. 

The story is taking about a special forces perform any missions, which nothing special.  This is not the main point. 




Unfortunately, the picture look quite rough.  The enemies reactions are fixed.  You are easy  to complete all of 13 stage at a short time.  It is totally a low-cost production.  I think this is no worth to mention it.  After,  I  am horrible to found a mall selling this game at HKD 50.  I will disclose where is it when I resell this game. 

 ======= 9.12.2013 =======
It was amazing that this game can sold HKD 90 in Yahoo auction.
In fact, this game with first hand just selling at HKD 50 at Kwun Tong MTR station in Hong Kong.
