Hello Kitty Saves Lives
Have you been looking for a good reason to join Hello Kitty Online? Well now you have a good reason to. As you know, Haiti just had a horrible earthquake that claimed the lives of millions and left the survivors homeless and injured. Well now this amazing game is doing an amazing thing.
Hello Kitty Online will have “Food for Friends 2.” This event lasts from January 21-30, 2010. When you play you earn donation points. The donation points will be added up and real money will be sent to Doctors Without Borders for aid in Haiti. This sounds like a great charity event, Hello Kitty and helping people? That’s the best combination EVER!
Well now you have a reason to join Hello Kitty Online. And remember to tell your friends your doing this not only because this game rocks, but to help survivors in Haiti.
But seriously, earthquakes stink so lets help the survivors of Haiti out by doing what we do best. By that of course I mean palying Hello Kitty Online.
What About Tiger Woods PGA Tour?
Let me get one thing cleared up before I start writing this. The following is written just to clear things up about a videogame and has nothing to do with Tiger’s personal life.
As you’ve probably heard, all of Tiger’s sponsors are leaving him. But what about EA’s hit golf game Tiger Wood’s PGA Tour? With all that DLC bought and online points won, whats going to happen? I was really worried, that game’s one of my favorite sports game. With all the live weather and live golf tourneys, I was fearing we would lose all of that.
Well thank goodness good old Peter Moore answered our long awaited call yesterday. EA Sports will continue with the franchise. Here’s what Peter said on his blog:
By his own admission, he’s made some mistakes off the course. But regardless of what’s happening in his personal life, and regardless of his decision to take a personal leave from the sport, Tiger Woods is still one of the greatest athletes in history.

So there you go golf fans, the game will be continued.

Keep your eyes peeled across various comunity sites as more information is revealed and save the 12/27/09 date on your calendar for some gaming fun!
About the Invasion (From Deacon Blade):
The voice of those who aren’t pleased with behavior on Xbox Live is growing and I wanted to create an avenue bigger than just finding a friend of a friend of a friend…hence the reason why The Invasion began.
I wanted to coordinate a huge gaming night for as many communities as possible and it worked. There were over 23 communities involved in the first attack and they all left thinking it was amazing to play with people who weren’t shouting racism around or stupid profanities etc.
It was one big night of making friends and gaming with complete strangers…one big night of everyone letting their hair down.
First Look into Halo: Reach
Since the first announcement of Bungie’s newest title in the works, Halo: Reach, any information about this game has been kept deep within the vault of Bungie’s deepest secrets. The only knowledge we have of this game is the story we know from the Halo novel Fall of Reach. If you aren’t familiar with the novel, in a brief summary it’s about the training of the Spartan-IIs and the Covanent attack on the human world Reach. You can pick up the novel at the Bungie Store for more Covanent ass kicking!
Spike TV will have a first glance into Halo: Reach with a first world premiere video from the opening of the game. Catch this at 8:00 PM EST on December 12, 2009. Until then, check out the promotion for it below:

Modern Warfare 2 sets Preorder record
Gamestop has now set a new record for most preordered game, and no, this time it was not a halo game. In fact it is Infinity Ward’s most hyped game, Modern Warefare 2. According to Tony Bartel, executive vice president for GameStop. “As of today, the number of pre-order reservations we’ve taken for the game is the highest for any title we’ve ever sold in our 6,200 store network.”
Modern Warefare 2 is Set to release next Tuesday I am sure it will be a busy day, with many stores opening to sell the game at midnight. I myself have not preordered the game but I am going to pick it up on Tuesday, there is no doubt about that. For more information, be sure to check out this article in USA Today.
And… The PS3 Fans Go Wild!!!
Hello, I’m field reporter Xbox King, and I have a very shocking story to share with you.
Only a few weeks ago a very interesting set of NPD numbers were released. What makes the September NPDs so interesting is the fact that the PS3 actually sold more than the Wii, and don’t get me started on the Xbox 360!!!
Here are the numbers from the highest selling current generation consoles to the lowest selling.
PS3: 491,800
Wii: 462,800
Xbox 360: 352,600
A lot of PS3 fans are really taking this to heart, here’s what some PS3 fans think about The PS3 beating the Xbox 360 and Wii.
“Well, it’s about time!” — said Ploogle.
“Happy I guess, good to know that more and more people are getting to play some of the great PS3 exclusives.” — said Cam Dog.
“I think that it’s awesome that the PS3 is finally getting the love it deserves.” — said Weclock
“It’s quite really really awesome” — said Mariano Alpha
As you can see, these PS3 fanboys are really loving it! I’m not really fond of the whole thing but whatever, it’s just one month I suppose, Xbox 360 will win next month.
