All Games: WCG 2009 GamesBy: Matt DiVito - Published Today at 9:42 AM EST - Writer Archive

Chinese website, Tatazu.com is reporting the first five games for WCG 2009. The World Cyber Games, Inc., recently renamed from International Cyber Marketing, was founded in the year 2000 and have been the global organizer of the World Cyber Games for nine years.

Last year's tournament was located Cologne, Germany and saw competitors compete in ten PC games, including StarCraft, CS 1.6, and WarCraft 3: TFC. The tournament also featured four Xbox 360 games.

With the WCG 2009 event slated to take place later this year in Chengdu, China, the Chinese website Tatazu.com is reporting the first five games to be played at the tournament.

Counter Strike 1.6 (PC)
StarCraft (PC)
WarCraft 3: The Frozen Throne (PC)
Virtua Fighter 5 (XBOX360)
Guitar Hero: World Tour (XBOX360)

Note that this same list can't be found anywhere on the official site for the World Cyber Games http://www.worldcybergames.com/ . I'm a bit surprised they didn't pick Street Fighter IV or Soulcalibur IV. That said, perhaps it would be possible that they picked more than one fighting game? We'll have to wait and see until the official WCG site confirms this news.

More on PS3 Hardware Failures: AICN's Moriarty Hit By BDL

Earlier I posted about how the PS3 is no less susceptible to hardware problems. The issue was dubbed the 'BDL' (Blu-Ray Disc Laser problem) over on Pinoyxbox by the multi-console users in the community. You'd find a lot more information about this by searching for error 80010514 and 80029906. That said, I saw this post on AICN from Moriarty ....apparently he also got hit by the BDL problem. He had the console repaired by Sony, and when he got his replacement, he was hit by another problem: he encountered an issue while updating his PS3, causing his system to get bricked. So now he's had two broken PS3s in a row, and the system has lost his recommendation as a blu-ray player system of choice for consumers: "Regarding Moriarty’s Awesome Non-Stop Blu-Ray Coverage... Or Lack Thereof! Dear Sony... Y’know, some days it doesn’t pay to be a movie fan. I’ve done tons of DVD coverage over the years here at AICN, and it’s funny... I’ve heard some people actually say, “But yo

Lost Odyssey Theme Song - "What You Are" by Sheena Easton

I've uploaded the theme song for Lost Odyssey in YouTube. Check out the video below: At first, I wasn't so into the song but when I heard it in full it grows on you. The song is actually quite beautiful. It was sung by Sheena Easton. With the lyrics from Hironobu Sakaguchi and the composition by Nobuo Uematsu. Very moving song, specially once you understand the lyrics. Below are the lyrics for the song "What You Are" by Sheena Easton When you touch me It feels just like a dream With the warmth that's in your eyes When you look at me I hear your voice beside me It whispers to me I can't hide how it makes me feel The shyness you see I may never Understand how deep it goes But I know how I feel What I hold deep in my heart There's just no way to stop this It's hopeless but true I feel this love More than anything So what more can I do You know I thought I would be much stronger than I am But then I feel the boldness that's inside my heart Just melt aw

Gamers based in the Philippines: How to get in Xbox Live

NOTE: This article has recently been updated (as of August 12, 2006). Singapore no longer lets you input '00000' as your zip code. Please see below for alternate zip codes. So you're a Filipino living in the Philippines with a brand-spanking new Xbox 360. You've heard about all the wonderful stories on Xbox Live. You happen to have a pretty good broadband connection. One day, you try out the Xbox Live sign-up options on your 360, and you find out to your dismay that your country is NOT listed. What do you do? Now, you can probably enjoy your 360 without live at all, but I have to tell you: YOU ARE MISSING OUT. As Peter Moore said in the recent MS Press Conference: "Having your 360 connected to Xbox Live is as vital as having your computer connected to the Internet". He is so damned right. I've been playing on Xbox Live for almost a year now (both on my original Xbox and the Xbox 360). Essentially I found out all of this with a little bit of research, a lit
