Platform(s): PC, PS4, Xbox One Genre: A remake of a story-focused GTA 3 clone that isn't really a blatant copy The 2002 action game Mafia borrowed a few open world bits here and there from Grand Theft Auto 3 back in that particular post-2000 heyday, but became a cult favourite because its focus was on its gripping tale of one Tommy Angelo who t...
After watching the trailer for the movie and looking at all the promotional material, I initially expected that Monster Run would be like a Chinese version of Ghostbusters or Men In Black. I was wrong, however, when the result was anything but that. Instead, Monster Run ultimately feels closer in tone and structure to that of the young adult mo...
Truth be told, there isn't anything in Borderlands 3's latest DLC, Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck, that is going to revolutionize the series. It's a solid DLC expansion with a ton of great weapons and shield mods (hello My Hero Academia reference!), a bunch of new bosses to farm from, and the usual linear level design with fantastical l...
Platform: PC Genre: Music rhythm first-person shooter with metal Norse infused within. Ever wondered what happened if 2016's Doom was a musical where the lyrics are replaced with your gunshots made in sync with the bass and drums of the soundtrack? Bullets Per Minute (BPM) from Awe Interactive is just that, and it's quite a thrill ride that's m...
We don't often get local period pieces here in Malaysia, but The Garden of Evening Mists is exactly that; a film adaptation from the 2012 English-language novel of the same name by Tan Twan Eng. The movie is set in three different timelines, each exploring a different stage in the life of protagonist Teoh Yun Ling. These different eras encompas...
Platform(s): PC, Xbox One, PS4 Genre: DLC to last year's spacetime adventure Last year's The Outer Worlds is a grand sci-fi time whether you love solving problems through diplomacy and lies, or using the barrel of the gun(s) you are allowed to carry. True to developer Obsidian's past open world works -specifically their crown jewel Fallout: New...
Platform(s):Â PS4, PC, Xbox One, Nintendo SwitchGenre:Â Action-Adventure, Platformer, Zelda-like with the best of intentions, but... We don't really see a lot of action-adventure 3D platformers these days. Most indie developers prefer to go full 2D retro instead, but Belgian studio Exiin decided to harken back to the good old days of the P...
The South Korea entertainment circuit is no stranger to great zombie content. They have cemented their place in pop culture with the likes of 2016's Train To Busan, Netflix's Kingdom, and most recently, 2020's Peninsula (the sequel to Train To Busan). What else can they do with the genre? Well, director Cho Il-hyung has proven that there is sti...
Platform(s): PS4, PC, Xbox One Genre: Action RPG from a now-defunct company, remastered It's rather sad that the 2012Â action RPG Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is renowned for the Studio 38 versus Rhode Island drama rather than the game itself. While not exactly innovative and groundbreaking, it makes up for it by being a solid action game w...
While not as grandiose genre-breaking as past films like Beauty & The Beast and Aladdin in the 90s, Disney's Mulan is still loved by many and is easily on any movie-goer's top 10 English-speaking animated features. It's got great animation, memorable characters, an incredibly awesome training montage with music from Donny Osmond, and told a goo...
Platform(s): PS4, PC, Xbox OneGenre: Square Enix and Marvel-branded loot-based online action game I'm not sure what the allure is with games like Destiny. Because of that 2014 online shooter filled with power levels, loot, and "live services" jargon crafted up by the Activision marketing folks, many other companies like Ubisoft and even EA try ...
There's been a resurgence of the folk horror genre in the past several years. One of the most iconic movies in the genre remains 1973's The Wicker Man, and other subsequent movies have roughly followed the same template. including Netflix's The Ritual (2017) and 2019's Midsommar by Ari Aster. The less spoken about 2006's The Wicker Man starring...
I'm not sure who else apart from hardcore 80s/90s comedy and sci-fi aficionados asked for a follow-up to the Bill & Ted duo of films. While it has stood the test of time in some sense due to its premise, aesthetics, and chemistry between its leads Alex Winters and Keanu Reeves, I hardly doubt many Asians clamoured for a 2020 sequel that pits ...
Ridley Scott is 83 years old in 2020. Let that sink in.The renowned and legendary director responsible for iconic science fiction and historical fiction movies like the 1979's Alien, 1982's Blade Runner, 2000's Gladiator, and more is widely regarded to be past his prime. While 2015's The Martian was a great movie, his other recent movies like 2014...
Review originally published on 22nd August.Christopher Nolan. His name is now synonymous with movies that feature signature overly-complex plot and mind-blowing twists. He experimented with non-linear structure with Memento and Inception, but Tenet is very much his grandest and most ambitious experiment yet. Does that mean Tenet is his best movie ...
Platform: PC Genre: What it says on the title The quarantine of 2020 is obviously a buzzkill, but at least it made the video game industry thrive in some sense. After all, people are staying put at home (mostly) and probably passing the time with video games. For folks who love travelling, it's a killjoy. However, it's good timing that developer ...
Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One Genre: Rock'em sock'em mixed martial arts fighting Reviewing sports games have always been tricky. A publication can choose to assign someone who is neck-deep in their knowledge of the sport, leading to a potentially needlessly nitpicky, emotionally-skewed review. Or go with someone who has little to casual understandin...

We regret the error and are updating the piece to reflect that. Platform: PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Google Stadia, PCGenre: Sports, Golf, Tiger Woods Simulator I've never been much of a sports guy.

BanG Dream! Film Live can be quite a surprise to the uninitiated. Those vaguely aware of the film but blissfully ignorant to what it’s about may expect a light-hearted romp of a musical, driven by an endearing plot as a group of teenage musicians face an unprecedented challenge in their dream of becoming a successful live band. Given that th...
Platform(s): PC, Xbox One Genre: 2D beat-em-up with a LOT of racing and minigame bits spliced in Throwbacks to 90s games can be tricky to design. You don't want to alienate your fanbase with your recreation of a wayback title, yet you kinda want to accommodate newbies who are curious at best. Some titles do it well like this year's Streets of Rag...
