Hi all,

After much discussion and searching around, we finally came up with our very own online flash games page! Yup, now you can play games online on CCG while waiting for your game to finish downloading. We always wanted to have an online game page but couldn’t find one that it is suitable, easy to maintain and of course easy for us to set up. While we were searching high and low for one, none of us knew that what we were searching for was already with us in the first place. I can’t believe all of us have been so silly! Lol! Anyway, have fun and feel free to let us know if there’s any problem with the online games!

Singapore - Xbox is putting more money into online advertising as it prepares to launch a slew of new games, products and features.

Erik Ford, regional senior marketing manager, SEA entertainment & devices division at Xbox, told Marketing that the brand is spending more online, and recently it started its own Facebook group in Singapore and it has a strong Twitter presence. Ford said online and in-store are key components to Xbox’s marketing mix, along with CRM.

“We’ve had a lot of success with online marketing,” he said.

Xbox’s Facebook group ‘Xbox 360 Singapore’ has 943 fans. The brand runs a lot of in-store promotions, working closely with retailers like Courts and Comic Connection.

Ford said despite the recession Xbox “grew last year” and he thinks “we’ll have another good year this year”. The company doesn’t reveal its exact numbers and Ford declined to reveal the size of its marketing budget.

Xbox is launching new games Halo 3: ODST, worldwide on 22 September, Forza Motorsport 3 in October and Alan Wake which will be available early next year. It has also expanded  its LIVE Community Games platform, renaming it Xbox LIVE Indie Games, and updated Xbox LIVE with several new features.

Ford said part of Xbox’s marketing strategy to actively engage with its dedicated fan base who become brand ambassadors.

“We speak to them often and stay in touch,” he said.

Ford said the brand is also trying to expand its audience by reaching out to a wider demographic.

PC Games - Amazing Adventures Special Edition Bundle

Two Hit Hidden Object games in one AMAZING bundle! In the first game, Amazing Adventures The Lost Tomb, a piece of an ancient map has been discovered and is believed to reveal the location of the Lost Tomb of Egypt! In the second game, Amazing Adventures Around the World, pieces of an ancient stone tablet have started turning up around the globe and the Museum needs your help to locate the pieces and find the most expensive gem ever known…the “World Diamond”!

• Two Hit Hidden Object Games In One Amazing Bundle!
• Find Over 4100 Objects!
• Explore 47 Exotic Locales!
• Unlock Interesting Facts As You Travel!

For those who love hidden object games but have missed this game out when it was launched, congratulations to you as they just came out with this amazing bundle! You get to pay 1 price for 2 great seek and find games.

I do remember playing this game before on my friend’s laptop but I didn’t get it at that time was because I have not bought my very own personal laptop yet. And the closest personal laptop that was available was my bro’s mac and apparently they do not have it in mac version so all I could do was to sigh and give it a miss. Thankfully for that, I was pretty thrilled when this game came in a bundle! Now I get to enjoy both sequels for 1 price! Even though I’m not really into hidden object games, but I can’t deny the fact that it keeps me entertained for a longer period of time!

I wouldn’t term this game as cute as the graphics look pretty serious, but what I do really like about this game is the massive items that are available with multiple gameplay modes and many mini games to keep you from getting bored. Even though it is just like any hidden object games, the greatest selling point to me was still the length of time you can spend to play the game. After all I do enjoy a good deal as much as enjoying a great game!
