Being an individual of taste, and therefore reading Majoria News religiously, you can't have avoided reading about the greatness of PangYa, a Korean PC online golf game blatantly 'borrowing from' the PS2's Minna no Golf series, and doing an even better job in providing exciting and deep yet newbie-friendly action than Camelot and Sony. Another quality of PangYa (there are in-game videos available showing more detail) is that for the most part (downloading, getting membership, playing any course with anyone in the world), it is absolutely free of charge. HanbitSoft and nTReev only charge players real money if they want some special equipment, or feel like unlocking new characters more easily.

In fact, the awesome Japanese version of the game, which is a bit behind the Korean one in terms of updates, received a major addition last Thursday, in the form of a lovely gothloli character named Kooh, who instantly 'invaded' local servers. To unlock her you will have to pay either 29,000PP or around 100CP (PP being money earned in the game, while CP being money exchanged for yen at a rate of 10 yen for 1CP). The Japanese official website offers a bunch of related goodies and events: illustration contests, wallpapers, special items for first Kooh users (members-only for this one) and many other neat things. If you play a different character from Kooh and felt in love with one of her in-game incarnations, you might want to wait for February 14th to take part in the special Valentine event scheduled then, offering many exclusive related items to fulfil your heart's desire.
