After several rounds of intense Guitar Hero III competition....ScaR (Luis Benesa) and Wuffy (Rafael Formoso) - emerged as the Philippine Champions for GUITAR HERO III! Both are Philippine champions already because it's already guaranteed that they're both going to two international championships, one for the WCG 2008 Asian Championship in Singapore and the other for the WCG 2008 Grand Finals in Germany.

Colonel_Pogi (Ralph Pasion) and Mibulan (Marlowe Bulan), also both from Pinoyxbox, played very well in the final matches...as finalists they will get a prize of P1,000 tomorrow during the awarding ceremonies.

Tomorrow there will be a deciding match between ScaR and Rafael to determine who gets to go to Cologne, Germany for the WCG Grand Finals this November, and who goes to Singapore for the WCG Asian Championship! The first placer for tomorrow's match will be sent to Germany and get to win over 30,000 PESOS in cash and other prizes. The second placer will win a cash prize as well, along with other prizes and the opportunity to compete in Singapore for the WCG Asian Championship this August!

Once again, congratulations to all the players, and to PINOYXBOX for completely dominating the competition for the Xbox 360 for this year's World Cyber Games.

Tomorrow, everyone's invited to attend the WCG FINALS for the final match between ScaR and Rafael. It will be held at 1PM in the afternoon at the SM Mall of Asia.

The awarding ceremonies for all the winners for the games will be at 6:30PM tomorrow. After these awarding ceremonies, Pinoyxbox will announce the winners for its WCG raffle for the players that participated in the xbox 360 events. Everyone who attended the preliminaries is encouraged to attend so that you can claim your prize right there if you win in the raffle. In case a winner isn't there, we'll just find a way to give your prize to you, but it might get delayed since we may have to meet up somewhere so we can give you your prize. If you're interested in getting your raffle prize right away, it's best to be there tomorrow at the SM Mall of Asia during the awarding ceremonies.

Thanks again to all the players that joined the Xbox 360 games for the WCG this year!

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...

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...

Soulcalibur IV CPU AI in Versus Mode...

...is quite fun to play against. Set it to 'VERY HARD' difficulty and you've got a virtual sparring partner to play against if no local players are online to play against. The difficulty levels in VERSUS MODE for the AI are Easy, Normal, Hard, Very Hard, and Edge Master. "Very Hard" difficulty puts up a good fight, though since it is a CPU opponent it won't pull any surprises or weird tricks that human players usually do. I haven't gotten around to playing against 'Edge Master' difficulty but that's a personal decision because I don't want to get too stressed out playing the game. Practicing in VERSUS MODE against the AI is a great way to test out your own tricks and figure out some new ways to play. Of course, the best test of your own skills in Soulcalibur IV is to play against a human opponent, but when you can't find one (whether online or off), VERSUS MODE against AI is a nice alternative. To play against AI, choose 'VERSUS MOD...
