The PSP - Boon or Bane?

The Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) has been a boon for gamers to have gaming on the go, but it seems sometimes kids can be too addicted to gaming, that even the PSP becomes a bane for parents, as BG explores this flip side. Those who saw the movie Inside Man will remember how the 'hero' criminal sat with a hostage kid in the bank vault while he was playing Grand Theft Auto a fictional Grand Theft Auto-like game on his PSP and the guy said he needs to have a talk with the kid's father about this later...

It's the Whole Package

How many of us have been trapped in this situation before? You save up for some expensive hardware (or even software) to enhance your gaming life, and then you realise you need to spend on other things to make it complete!

BrickGamers is in the Malay Mail paper!

That's right! Your favourite Malaysian Lego Comic is now in the newspapers as well! We're in the Malay Mail every Monday, and the same comic will be up here on Saturdays. That makes at least 7 updates every month - every 7th, 21st, 28th and now...every weekends as well! Do we hear Woot?

Guitar Hero Mecha?

This is just simply too hilarious to miss! Check it out! It's a Mecha, built from Lego (what else?), playing Guitar Hero! If you don't know what Guitar Hero is, allow us to introduce you to the modern digital Oracle - Wikipedia (all links on BG will open in a new tab/window so you can always continue viewing our humour goodness).

This Lego Mecha playing Guitar Hero was built by fellow Malaysian Teik Joon. You can see his other creations on his Flicker page here. We say, rock on Malaysians! More Lego own creations!

Final fantasy Minifig no longer a fantasy?

Of the amount of interesting characters from the almost infinite game worlds out there surely there are some characters which you wish LEGO would made into official set. Well, if that is not going to happen you might want to consider doing it yourself.

Check out the range of custom final fantasy characters Morgan19 did with combination of real minifg and photo retouching and his post at brickforge.com

Don't You Just Hate It When...

If you've played one of the newer computer games, Call of Duty 4 (CoD4), you'll run into this scenario where you'll just curse out in the battlefield until air support does arrive...which might be a good thing because you'll be so filled with rage, you'll actually kill enough enemies for reinforcements to arrive!

Battle Cruiser is Online

In-line with the news that the Blizzard computer game StarCraft2 will be out soon around end of the year or so, there's been a rise in the interest of all things StarCraft - and Lego fans are no exception!

This is a Terran Battlecruiser, built by BrickShelf user Vana, which we might add, borders on the level and class of Lego's own Ultimate Collection sets! We sure would like to see Lego make this set as an official offering - assuming there's such a partnership with Blizzard to make these!

See more shots of it here.

Brick Gamers 23 - Why 'Nerds' Stay Home

Let's face it, the people who play games, computer games that is, started out as 'nerds'. Sure these days almost everyone plays computer games, thanks to the commercialisation of it all, like how almost everything else ends up being turned into a profit by making it 'cool'.

However, at the end of the day, the 'nerds' still own because they're the hardcore gamers. They have the passion and the drive to stay home and work at their games until they're unmatched by 'noobs' who come in and try their luck. The downside is, they might not be good outdoors.

Yet, with these days cost of living going up due to increased oil prices worldwide, maybe 'nerds' have it good after all, because now, more people are going to stay at home! Brick Gamers takes a spin on this topic in our 23rd Lego comic!
