Platform: Nintendo Switch Genre: Action game with some open-world and adventuring bits tucked inside Nier Automata game director Yoko Taro said this a while back during a particular Game Developer Conference panel about his Square Enix masterpiece: "Modern games, they're made really well. They have so much love and time put into making them expans...
Misery loves company. In Man of Medan's case, the latest interactive horror game from the folks behind the surprise hit Until Dawn -Supermassive- misery loves you playing this adventure all by your lonesome. If anything, the game's horror story about American tourists who are stuck in a sunken and cursed ghost ship is best played through Shared St...
What happens when you put Metroid, Inception, Fringe or The X-Files (whichever TV series you prefer), and a Jedi Force simulator in a blender? It comes out in the form of Remedy Entertainment's Control, one of the most refreshing and best games of 2019. There's nothing else quite like it in today's gaming climate of uninspired open-world games ...
Video game movie adaptations are gradually improving, especially with this year's Detective Pikachu turning out to be decent but ultimately not fulfilling the franchise's full potential. However, some need not bear the weight of such high expectations, especially when that particular franchise is not highly-regarded in the first place. That applie...
One shouldn't really name their development company with a rote name like Tokyo RPG Factory; it just means you're just known for churning out title after title of mediocre value. But to be fair, the company's previous efforts, I Am Setsuna and Lost Sphear, are full of charm and aesthetically-pleasing choices, but they just come off as shallow copie...
Ready or Not takes a simple thriller premise and fills it up with a great presentation, some slick direction, and an endearing lead you want to root for. The plot revolves around Grace, a young bride who plays along with her newlywed husband Alex and his family, the Le Domas, in a game of hide-and-seek that lasts until dawn. Turns out that the f...
There are way too many buzzwords and features clogging up gaming peripherals, especially with headsets. Most of them are made with style over substance in mind. Truth be told, it is necessary for peripheral makers, both legitimate and questionably so. However, an old-fashioned fella like me just want a sleek-looking headset with great sound and a d...
In another timeline, a game like Fire Emblem: Three Houses would have never existed. Ask any avid fan and you’ll learn that, once upon a time, Nintendo wanted to axe Fire Emblem for good. But we all know that’s not how the story goes. As the series sunk to its lowest point ever, Intelligent Systems created Fire Emblem: Awakening for ...
Last year, Dota 2 team Red Bull OG unexpectedly became champions at The International 2018 (also known as TI9, one of the biggest esports tournaments in the world). It was the ultimate underdog story, and unsurprisingly, it's been adapted into a documentary. Developed by the Emmy Award-winning Red Bull Media House, the documentary, titled 'Again...
I grew up with the original Dora The Explorer animated series on Nickelodeon back in the early 2000s before I finally grew out of it when I became an angsty teenager who listens to My Chemical Romance on a daily basis. However, never did it popped in my younger self's mind of ever wanting a live-action adaptation, but here we are. Dora And The L...
If you're into fast-paced 4X games with tactical turn-based XCOM-style combat, you may want to give Age of Wonders: Planetfall a shot. The Age of Wonders series is from Triumph Studios who usually take the spreadsheet aspects of a 4X genre title and turn it upside its head. In this case, they've succeeded by using a sci-fi coat of paint and more. ...
What makes a good buddy cop movie? It's the chemistry and dynamic between the two leads, and the hilarity that ensues. Movies like Rush Hour and The Nice Guys oozed charisma and comedy, with fun action and good writing. Stuber is nothing like those beloved buddy cop movies. It's generic and problematic, with none of the elements that make a good b...
I went into Enter The Anime on Netflix not really expecting to suddenly become the expert on all things anime, but at least to come out of it having learned something new about Japanese animation. I may not be much of an anime fan myself, and I wouldn't call myself an otaku, but I still grew up on it (and still watch it from time to time). My favo...
No one would ever have predicted that the Fast And Furious franchise would grow into a whopping eight movies and a spinoff, but here we are. Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw is the series' first foray into expanding the Fast & Furious Cinematic Universe (not the official name). It's an entertaining effort, to say the least. Hero Ti...

Blazkowicz, the man who killed Adolf Hitler. You get a super-suit that allows you to become invisible, jump around like you've got pogo sticks for leg...
As far as musician biopics go, Rocketman may be one of the best since The Doors and Ray. Forget about Rami Malek's Freddie Mercury and Chadwick Boseman's James Brown: Taron Egerton has both the acting, emotional range, and singing chops to portray Elton John in this rise and fall and then rise to fame movie directed by Dexter Fletcher, whom longtim...
Platform: Nintendo Switch Genre: Marvel Mashup Button Masher The days of multiple developers and publishers working on various genres featuring Marvel games of back then are slowly creeping back into the fold. This is probably thanks to the current Disney Marvel regime that's arguably trying to do good by unifying its creative vision. Sure, it's n...
As a kid, I fondly remember watching B-movie monster flicks whenever I had access to them, be they late-night movie channels like Cinemax, or bargain bin DVDs my family used to buy. They were cheap and entertaining, which was enough for me back then. Now I tend to spend my time with content that's actually worth my time. Thai film Nakee 2 reminds ...
Platform: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch Genre: 2D Run-And-Gun Shooter Welp, with Konami not giving much f***s about its IPs and repackaging games in retro bundles, it's really up to other developers to show its predecessors how it's done. And that's what the new 2D run-and-gun title Blazing Chrome is about: gunning down hordes of bad guys and...
I never really liked the genre of building block sandbox games in which Minecraft remains the exemplar. The gameplay feels meaningless and filled with busywork meant to pad your time, lacking any sort of narrative incentive to push me forward or urge me to continue playing. While Dragon Quest Builders 2 isn't perfect, it has certainly surprised ...
