It’s confirmed! Broadway diva and international star, Lea Salonga is a full blooded gamer. Lea now writes regulary for the Inquirer under the Showbiz/Entertainment section. In her debut article, Lea shares her passion for video games especially handheld and console. Among her favorites are the Final Fantasy series and even God of War. She confessed on how her love for gaming began; ”It all started with a borrowed Nintendo Game & Watch in the early 1980s. It was a simple black-and-white screen in a dark blue plastic casing and all one had to do was catch the objects thrown in the air. The game’s speed would keep accelerating and once you hit 999 points, the game would start over from the beginning.”
Currently, she’s playing Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII on her PSP.

OMG! She IS a well-rounded gamer.
Her most favorite game? Bioshock. “This is probably my most favorite game, ever. I played this almost every night last year while I was living in New York doing “Les Miz.” Never mind that it kept me awake at night, because of some disturbing, even violent, imagery. It was just too compelling to put down. I mean, going around an amazingly designed (art deco) city under the sea? Being able to shoot electricity, fire, and even bees from your fingertips? Watching creepy little girls suck the living essence from a corpse, accompanied by a “Big Daddy”?
Leah also wrote about her current game, Crisis Core: “If anyone reading this has ever played Final Fantasy VII, then this game is for you. It takes place seven years prior to the events of FF-VII, with SOLDIER 2nd Class Zack on a mission, accompanied by Angeal, his mentor. You will meet The Turks, Sephiroth, Aerith, Yuffie. There are missions to complete, summons to defeat. Crisis Core is also surprisingly beautiful, something unexpected with a portable game.”
She’s my idol even more now!
Go, Leah! Go pwn ‘em videogame villains!
