Who thought that Star Wars could be this exciting?
Bioware released this newest game cinematic trailer for their upcoming game Star Wars: The Old Republic at E3 2011 and we have to say it makes us all giddy for more Star Wars.
Make sure you expand the video about to full size and crank up your speakers – you’ll get a chill.
What it’s about: Protected by the legendary Jedi Order, the Galactic Republic stood as a bastion of peace in the galaxy for a thousand generations. Several centuries ago, the greatest threat the galaxy has ever known emerged in the form of the dark Sith Empire. After a volatile war, the Republic emerged victorious and the Sith were assumed to be extinct. Nonetheless, the Jedi have maintained a constant vigil over the ancient Sith homeworld, to protect the galaxy from the darkness that still resides in the planet’s tombs.

Matthews, the Chairman and CRO and Mr. Todd Mitsuishi, the President and CEO of INTERUSH Inc introduced and demonstrated iRacing to the local media and online game enthusiasts.
Taiwanese WoW sirens calls out to Hong Kong Gamers.
We’re still going through all the photos snapped at the recent Asian Game Show X Online Game Show a couple weeks back, and today we’re bringing you a bunch of photos from a party of Chinese Amazons at the World of Warcraft booth.
If you think the hottest Chinese models are only from Hong Kong, check out this bevy of beauties hailing from Taiwan and, rightly so, was quite the attention getter at the show. The four models were also accompanied by a very leggy “Mistress of Ceremonies” whose long slender legs were quite bewitching. Luckily Neonpunch was able to get some one-on-one and group shots of the lovely vixens for all our readers to thumb through at their leisure.
The happiest-to-receive Christmas gift to Hong Kong gamers.
Even though we’ve passed Christmas, we’re still unwrapping more photos and coverage from the annual Asian Game Show X Online Game Show(December 24-26).
At the yearly event, tens of thousands of local gamers descend upon the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre to play and buy games. Due to last year’s poor attendance, AGS organizers decided to team up with the Online Game Show in the hope that more people would be drawn to the double bill event.
Canto Pop idol and spokesmodel for the event, Joey Yung (容祖兒), was on hand at the AGS X OGS to start proceedings, in what looked like a cyber samurai outfit! Weilding a katanna, Joey posed for the paparrazi while screaming fans swooned behind the metal barricades.
Sony rolled out a few models of their own to add to the festivities:
MMO’s with criminal aspects shut down on the Mainland.
Everyone loves gangster movies, music and television, sometimes we here at Neonpunch need to blow off some steam and live our secret gangster life…through video games.
Unfortunately, Xinhua announced that the Chinese Ministry of Culture has banned websites that host, distribute or feature gangsters or glorify mafia-like activity such as gambling which can “undermine morality and Chinese traditional culture…!” We’re no historians ourselves, but how long have gangs traditionally been on the Mainland?
We don’t know if this mandate is only for Massive Multiplayer Online games or any game featuring online content (or how far this will extend) and while the U.S. created Grand Theft Auto comes to mind immediately or the accredited Japanese import Yakuza, the only games who have been ordered to shut down are Chinese-language MMO’s.
This makes sense as most gamers in China are still net-bar based and even though there is an 18+ age limit to these, it’s often ignored completely. Some notable online sites affected include Kaixin.com’s Godfather, Mop.com’s Jianghu (‘gangster community’), and Xiaonei.com’s Guhuozai. Further violators face undefined “severe punishment” from the government. Several of the listed games have voluntarily closed for probable obvious reasons.
“Severe punishment” definitely doesn’t sound like brunch with Zhang ZiYi.
