For lovers, no matter how complicated, today is Valentine’s Day, but for the rest of the singletons out there whether by choice or by curse it’s Good Friday arriving two months early. But whether you’re single, in a relationship, or in any other profile status available, this is one day where love is at its most expensive.
So instead of using up your month’s salary on roses and chocolates, or attempting to make last minute restaurant reservations to impress a girlfriend or even a potential one, why not spend it online, where gifts are a lot cheaper and your chances of finding love is a lot higher (gender, however, is not guaranteed). There are a lot of online games you could play with your significant other, quests you could take on to strengthen your bond, and items you can share to solidify your partnership.
But no matter how close you and your lady is, there will always be someone who’ll give you a tougher challenge than that last boss you just defeated when you log off—they are the little, young brats who are more than ready to squeal if you as much raise an eyebrow, and tarnish your good boy reputation forever.
So what do you do to keep these little monsters happy and stay on their good side? Teach them the ways of online gaming of course! If you’re dating someone who has a little brother, then you’re in luck, just race them a couple of laps in Crazy Kart or let them pummel you in Grand Chase and you become their hero for life. Now if they have a little sister, then it might prove to be a bit trickier, unless of course you have a thing for dolls and little ponies.
But thanks to Level Up! you don’t have to sacrifice your masculinity to befriend the little miss, all you have to do is take her to the world of Hello Kitty Online (HKO). What’s even better is that for the season of love HKO has scheduled a lot of exciting in-game activities to make sure you get her nod of approval. Share your adventures with special group quests and earn happy hearts by assisting the Love Bug in collecting, crafting, and distributing Valentine’s Day gifts. There are seven quests that can be completed at any time and the focus will be on gathering resources, crafting, walking and talking and distribution.
Another cute development in Sanrio Land is the new Hello Kitty Online theme song. The catchy tune is sure to get stuck in the heads of little girls and probably even their moms, who were around when Hello Kitty first made it cool to be cute. The song is called “The World is saying Hello [Kitty]” and the full version can be heard by logging on the game.
Hello Kitty has remained an enduring aspect of the times since the ultimate iconic character from Sanrio first emerged in 1974.
She is hardwired into popular culture consciousness and this influence has been getting stronger among today’s online generation through Hello Kitty Online, the first and only Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game (MMORPG) set in the world of Hello Kitty and her friends, like Badtz-Maru, My Melody, Dear Daniel, Keroppi and more. Thousands of players can enjoy the game via computer-controlled characters in a persistent virtual world that is brimming with cuteness. Hello Kitty Online is a unique experience in virtual world gaming, enhanced by social media like blogs and video sharing that are built in the game itself.

DATABLITZ GAME OF THE WEEK
BIOSHOCK 2
Set approximately 10 years after the events of the original BioShock, the halls of Rapture once again echo with sins of the past.
Along the Atlantic coastline, a monster has been snatching little girls and bringing them back to the undersea city of Rapture.
Players step into the boots of the most iconic denizen of Rapture, the Big Daddy, as they travel through the decrepit and beautiful fallen city, chasing an unseen foe in search of answers and their own survival.
Multiplayer in BioShock 2 will provide a rich prequel experience that expands the origins of the BioShock fiction. Set during the fall of Rapture, players assume the role of a Plasmid test subject for Sinclair Solutions, a premier provider of Plasmids and Tonics in the underwater city of Rapture that was first explored in the original BioShock. Players will need to use all the elements of the BioShock toolset to survive, as the full depth of the BioShock experience is refined and transformed into a unique multiplayer experience that can only be found in Rapture.
Set approximately 10 years after the events of the original BioShock, the story continues with an epic, more intense journey through one of the most captivating and terrifying fictional worlds ever created. Get to visit Rapture before it was reclaimed by the ocean and engage in combat over iconic environments in locations such as Kashmir Restaurant and Mercury Suites, all of which have been reworked from the ground up. Take control of BioShock’s signature and iconic symbol by playing as the Big Daddy, and experience the power and raw strength of Rapture’s most feared denizens as you battle powerful new enemies. You also get to step into the shoes of Rapture citizens and take direct part in the civil war that tore Rapture apart.
Innovative advances bring new depth and dimension to each encounter. New elements, such as the ability to dual-wield weapons and Plasmids, allow players to create exciting combinations of punishment. Earn experience points during gameplay to earn access to new Weapons, Plasmids and Tonics that can be used to create hundreds of different combinations, allowing players to develop a unique character that caters to their playing style.
