Sometimes, it’s the weirdest games that are the most addicting.

I’m talking about the aptly named LocoRoco (aptly named kasi nakaka-loko siya XD), released last 2006, where you control creatures that look like those gelatin-like beads you see in a prescription acne medication. But instead of actually controlling the creatures, you control the world it moves in by “tilting” it left or right.

Initially considered a children’s game due to it’s simple controls, the cute sounds, characters and challenging gameplay has also attracted adult gamers as well. Even if it was overshadowed by some games like Tekken and Daxter during the year of it’s release, it still many awards and it’s character was even awarded the honor to be the PSP’s mascot.

It kind of makes me want to buy a PSP for Sean Kirk. Maybe he might go loco over LocoRoco as well.

There’s another cool photo technique I would like to share with you today. Its called “tilt-shift”. Its so simple and easy, you don’t need to be a graphic expert or have a weatherization training to achieve this haha!

What is Tilt-Shift photos?

Tilt-shift miniature style photos are pictures of real-life scenes that are manipulated to look like model photographs.

The most suitable photo you could use here is a birds eye view shot. Like the one above. Its the mini lagoon inside Enchanted Kingdom where I shot when I was on board the Ferris wheel which is adjacent to the lagoon.

Got your pics ready? Then visit tiltshiftmaker.com and watch as it instantly convert your photos into instant miniature model. Enjoy!

Here’s a new heroine who is sure to beat out the guys of other video game platforms , specially the one that looks like he took some best testosterone booster pills *ahem-Kratos-ahem* XD

Meet Bayonetta. She’s a witch who’s in a quest to find her true identity, but along the road she has to fight her way against the forces of light. Yep, you heard me right. The usual role of the player fighting the forces of darkness has been reversed.

The game is available for the PS3, and it boasts some of the coolest graphics featured for the console, and it has a barrage of challenges that I’m sure a lot of players will enjoy (specially ones who like to achieve 100% completion rate on their games XD). Not to mention that after Lara Croft of Tomb Raider, seeing a cool chick in leather is quite an eye-candy. Plus she’s got guns in her shoes! How cool is that!?

It kind of make me wish I could buy a PS3 right away just to play this game… ~_~
