In ancient times, the races of Chrysalis enjoyed lives of luxury in a world where science and magic harmoniously coexisted. The Pom, a race whose inquisitive minds and nimble fingers gave them a natural inclination for engineering, created many useful machines. The most industrious of the Pom were the Maestros, the keepers of technology. Their most important discovery was how to gather, store, and utilize a powerful resource known as “Neo Steam.” Once the secrets of Neo Steam had been unlocked, the world entered a golden age of technology and learning.
However, the King feared the Maestros would one day use their inventions to overthrow him, so he banished them all to a remote island. There, they continued their research until one fateful day came when a great earthquake struck Chrysalis. The land was torn apart, shattered into three main continents. Cities were ruined, centers of knowledge and culture crumbled, and civilization spiraled into a darker age…
In the centuries that followed, three nations arose on the new continents: the Kingdom of Elerd, the Republic of Rogwel, and the Taxn Alliance. Each struggled with limited resources and tried desperately to rebuild their societies. But it was not long before the machines of old began being unearthed. When the new generations rediscovered the power of Neo Steam and the ancient Maestros’ inventions, conflict broke out between the nations. Although the Taxns tried to remain neutral and not rely on these new discoveries, even they too got caught up in the massive war between Elerd and Rogwel. Soon, the entire world would be up in arms, and citizens of all nations would find themselves spilling the blood of their brethren all over the chance to gain control of the most powerful resource in the land… Neo Steam.

Online Game Developer Celebrates Milestones with Complimentary In-Game Currency for all Island Paradise Players
More than 10 million unique registered players of rapidly growing Facebook game Island Paradise are enjoying new pets and novelty items thanks to Meteor Games‘ milestone celebration. The independent social game developer promised the Island Paradise community a 200 point boost in Meteor Credits, the in-game currency, once the island experience’s Facebook fan page reached one million members – a major milestone achieved earlier this week.
Island Paradise debuted on Facebook in August 2009, and quickly rose up the ranks of the most popular games on the social networking site. In the months since launch, the game has garnered 10 million unique players, with nearly seven million monthly and more than two million daily active users – a clear testament to the game’s player retention rates. In addition, the Island Paradise Facebook Fan Page recently hit a significant milestone: surpassing one million fans.
“Our community brings Island Paradise to life by growing and cultivating gardens, crops and livestock, populating their islands and visiting their friends” said Adam Powell, CEO and creative director, Meteor Games. “It’s important for us to acknowledge our members for their immense contributions that further helped to make Island Paradise one of the fastest growing games on Facebook. We will continue to recognize significant community milestones by giving back to the driving force behind our games’ success – the fans.”
Founded by the creators of Neopets, Meteor Games currently offers Facebook titles Island Paradise and Little Rock Pool, with other social games in development. From the careful growth of a player’s island to the nurturing of a sheltered school of fish, Meteor Games is capturing the hearts and idle time of millions of social network gamers and their friends. The interactivity between Island Paradise and Little Rock Pool allows players to draw from one Meteor Credits account, which houses in-game currency, in order to share the wealth across both games as they see fit.

Some of the best cosplayers in the Philippine cosplay scene recently had a group cosplay photoshoot of Magna Carta characters. Magna Carta is a PS2 RPG with some very interesting character designs. I have to admit that I did play this game before and like almost all the RPGs I played on the PS2, I never finished it. 
The only RPG that I did finish on the PS2 was Final Fantasy X. After that, I just play RPGs ‘cos of the graphics. Once I get bored, I never finish the game.
Big thanks to Richie dela Merced for letting me grab some of his photos. You can view the rest of his set here.
