The Asian Power Hour

Usually I don't post observations on the main page that I have about individual games, but after starting to play it, I think that White Knight Story (白騎士物語 -古の鼓動), a recently released (in Japan...for the moment) RPG for the PS3 by Professor Layton developer Level 5 deserves a look for a very particular reason.

As far as JRPG's (Japanese Role Playing Games) go, White Knight Story is fairly standard fare except for the way that the narrative is presented to the player.

Nvidia has launched a new line of video cards capable of delivering 3-D stereoscopic versions of games and movies from your PC. I'm not exactly sure how it will work on standard video, but it seems that games have to be tweaked to allow for this system to work. For more information, check our their official website at:

After a few bouts of SFIV and Melty Blood with Rick "The Trick" Nelson down at the 'ol arcade, I had the good fortune of having this wonderful little music video presented to me. It's a bit old, but still a fantastic take on the music game genre. A few interesting points:

1. Directed by Keith Schofield, of internet nerdery fame.
2. Shot entirely in the UCLA arcade.
3. Why doesn't USC have an arcade on it's campus?
