Live-action adaptations of anime shows are tricky things to pull off. For every good one like the Rurouni Kenshin series of films, you have a boatload of terrible ones that try too hard with matching scenes from the show without context. These shows just flat-out fail to explain anything that's going on for newbies, or just botching the whole thing...

Having tested a number of smartwatches in the past, one of the biggest issues stopping us from fully committing to owning one outright was the inconsistencies when wearing them. Sure all the health data such as heart rate and the total number of steps taken intrigued us. But there were always several major issues stopping those watches from being m...

After over 20 films, the James Bond franchise is still going strong but never before has it been as serialized as it is during Daniel Craig's era. No Time To Die is Daniel Craig's fifth and final movie as the iconic 007. Is it a meaningful and great sendoff to the actor, who has been in the role for 15 years, since 2006's Casino Royale. Shaken, No...

Do you think you can do a better job than Ole Gunnar Solksjaer when it comes to managing Manchester United (or in this year's game, 'Man UFC')? Or have you ever wondered how'd Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham fare playing together alongside Mohammad Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold? Do you enjoy staring at endless data and graphs, extrapolating th...
Platform(s): Xbox Series (version played), PC Genre: Open-world racing game tour de force There's a bit of a personal touch that Forza Horizon 5 gives you, for all of its "bigger, better, and more" approach to an open-world racing game RPG sequel. The gist of part 5 is about the same as Forza Horizon 3 and Forza Horizon 4: you race in a plethor...
Update[13/11/2021]: the show's six episodes are out now. The review will be updated to reflect this. Ten years plus later, the League of Legends MOBA brand is still going strong, with one of the reasons being that it goes beyond the game. With oodles of one-shot story trailers and even a bunch of girl band-slash-K-Pop-esque music videos, Riot Ga...

The Rock, Deadpool and Wonder Woman in one movie. What more do you want? Here comes this star-studded action comedy movie directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, best known for 2004's DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story, 2013's We're The Millers, 2016's Central Intelligence and 2018's Skyscraper (those last two movies also star Dwayne Johnson). What d...
Platform: PC (Version played) Genre: 3D platformer with 2D graphics The 3D platformer genre has seen some resurgence of sorts with titles like Psychonauts 2 taking the crown. So is there a place for an indie throwback like Demon Turf? Definitely! Especially with its innovative-but-soon-to-be-stolen-by-other-developers checkpoint system. In t...

I remember writing over two years ago about why Marvel’s Eternals is the studio’s biggest risk yet. Fast-forward two years later to the current day, and it looks like most of my fears have come true. After almost 30 movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Eternals is the 26th), there's bound to be a bad apple in the bunch. ...
Platform(s): Xbox Series (version reviewed), PS5, PC Genre: Extreme sports open-world game Remember that open-world racing game Steep? Yeah, me neither. Riders Republic is basically the sequel of that "hidden gem" of a sandbox title, down to its extreme racing trials and challenges. Oh, and dirt/summer racing segments in the mix, making for the...

Lay out all of the gadgets you regularly use on a daily basis. Your smartphone, laptop(s), perhaps your wireless headset or earbuds and even your tablet if you happen to have one. Oh, you are one of the few people in 2021 who carries around a dedicated camera as well? Add that as well. Quite a stash isn't it? Which leads to this question: how do...
Platform(s): PC (version played), Nintendo Switch Genre: 2D Action Game Set In 20th Century Taiwan It's not every day you see a game using Taiwan-Japanese occupation history as a backdrop for an action game, yet here we are. Indie studio Creative Games Computer Graphics Corporation and publisher Neon Doctrine took a chance in setting its 2D tit...

Platform(s): PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC Genre: Action-Adventure, Choice-Driven Narrative If you told me years ago that Guardians Of The Galaxy would be getting not only two movies, but also a high-budget video game by the recent developers of Deus Ex (Eidos Montreal) and publisher Square Enix, I'd say that you were out of your mind...
Platform: PC (version reviewed), PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch Genre: Adventure Game Featuring Photography, Animal Transformations, & Some Life Sim Debt-Paying Stuff If you know the name SWERY and the games the developer has done, chances are you know what you're getting into. You're either getting a broken mess of a game with an engrossin...

There are three things in life that are certain: death, taxes and Alienware's latest flagship gaming laptop receiving significant improvements from its predecessor. In my review of the M15 R3 last year, I equated it to a sportscar. Like the 911 GT3, both 'tick all the right boxes when it comes to serving their purpose, while also offering someth...

Review originally published on 25th August, 2020. It's bumped up due to the Steam version that's out right now. Platform(s): PC (Epic Games & Steam), PS4, Xbox One Nintendo Switch Genre: Uniquely Malaysian music-rhythm action mash-up Readers on this site may notice my affinity to hyper-stylized action games like the Bayonetta games and r...
Platform(s): Xbox Series (version played), Xbox One, PC Genre: Voxel-Graphics adventure RPG set in suburbia 80s and sci-fi shenanigans For all of its charm and bits of 80s love, Echo Generation feels pretty aimless. The adventure game and RPG, complete with turn-based combat and a Mario & Luigi style action prompt system, has its heart in t...

The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 is the fifth and most recent iteration of Samsung's range of Bluetooth earbuds. Since its unveiling in 2019, Samsung has gone through several improvements to their Buds lineup, significantly improving them with each iteration and offering one of the most appealing choices for anyone in the hunt for compact in-ear wireless e...
Platforms: PC (version reviewed), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch Genre: Arcade racing game with miniature cars You may not want to dismiss Hot Wheels' latest license racing game title. Despite looking like a shameless licensed "all ages" title, and it is meant for the family, the breadth and controls of this arcade racer prove...

Review originally published on 7th October. Denis Villeneuve is shaping up to be this generation's Ridley Scott with a string of great science fiction movies under his belt. These include 2016's Arrival and 2017's Blade Runner 2049, all good films in their own right. Now he can add 2021's Dune to the list, arguably his best and biggest movie to...
