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...
Platform(s): PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC Genre: Fighting Game, Adventure, Anime Demon Slayer (or Kimetsu No Yaiba) is currently one of the most popular manga/anime in the world, and one that I’m proud to be a fan of. It has revitalized shonen anime and last year's Demon Slayer Kimetsu No Yaiba The Movie Mugen Train broke a bu...
Ah, the idea of an evil Superman or evil Supermen is garnering a lot of attention these days. Look at Amazon Prime Video's The Boys TV series and Invincible animated series. After more than a decade of superhero movies and the MCU, viewers want something different. Something that cleverly subverts or deconstructs comic book tropes. NetherRealm Stud...
Platform: Nintendo Switch Genre: OG Search Action Game It's been a decade since we've seen a proper follow-up for the 2D Metroid action-adventure games. Sure, we got Metroid: Other M, but that just felt like a slap to the face for fans of bounty hunter Samus Aran and her power suit and morph ball legacy. With Metroid Dread, developer Mercury...
Platform(s): PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC Genre: FPS, Open-World At this point, the Far Cry franchise has been running for almost two decades now, but the open-world FPS formula has pretty much stayed the same. The series arguably reached its peak with 2012's Far Cry 3 (and its spinoff, Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon)Â and Ubisoft has been...
Video game movies rarely turn out to be any good, especially if they're about video games. An example of a recent good movie might be 2018's Ready Player One, while a rather bad one would be something like 2015's Pixels starring Adam Sandler. Fortunately, Free Guy is more like Ready Player One, but one that's an action-packed comedy starring Ryan R...
It's been a while since the Marvel Cinematic Universe has released a movie that introduces a brand new hero and his/her/their origins. The last was 2019's Captain Marvel. All of the rest since then has focused on existing characters, especially in the lead-up to 2019's Avengers Endgame and the immediate aftermath. How is the first time foray of Mar...
Platform(s): Xbox Series (version played), PS5, Xbox One, PS4, PC, Nintendo Switch Genre: Annual football game from EA As someone who's played a heckaton of football games, the most infuriating part of these games, at least in my books, is the defending. Very rarely do the big two of football sims; FIFA and PES got it right. Missed a tackle? Go...
