Update (11 May): Added in more tips on building & loading out mechs.  We had a taste of the new Battletech PC strategy game recently, and it is glorious! It looks great, and it plays like a dream if you're into managing a mercenary group of four Battlemech pilots trying to scrounge up cash doing the odd mercena

Last year, Tekken 7 and Marvel vs Capcom Infinite had single-player story modes that, for better or worse, felt a little different and tried to be a little cohesive with its made-up lore. Where did they rip the "play as different characters in the game's narrative" concept off from? Well, from the Injustice series of

While the Xbox One may be light on exclusive games, it is nonetheless doing its own thing: building a long-term platform where past, present, and future Xbox games can run through the power of its possibly game-changing Game Pass. And now Xbox is adding in a huge number of backwards compatible games in the mix. Here i

The Blue Bomber himself, Mega Man, is the de facto Capcom mascot back in the late 80s when 2D platformers were all the rage. The titular original series was groundbreaking stuff. Its pick-any-order stage selection process was novel, its weapon-stealing mechanic was innovative, and its challenge level was brutal yet

Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One Genre: Action, FPS, Cult-Bashing Simulator I'm sure many have been asking: Is Far Cry 5 as good as Far Cry 3? Some reviewers have chosen to focus on the story and how it doesn't live up to the initial premise marketed by Ubisoft. Others even say that the game's "political inclination" o

Platforms: PS4, PC At first glance, Ni no Kuni 2 is an innocent tale of an innocent deposed king named Evan who wants to build his own kingdom called Evermore. But looking back at the story so far, this little kid is a dictator in the making. The story is framed so that everyone who comes into contact with him swear

Nintendo yet again surprised us with another 30-minute Nintendo Direct video segment this early morning at 5am. The main highlight is, of course, Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo Switch (finally). Sadly there's no news on Metroid Prime 4 or anything Metroid-related, but there's a ton more stuff if you want more port

The beauty of the Nintendo Switch, apart from having kick ass games in 2017 like Splatoon 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles 2, is letting you play console quality games when you're mobile. Whether you're in your car, on the bus, on an Uber, or on the LRT/MRT, you can't deny how convenient and awesome this is. Heck, I'll just

A long while back, a mobile gaming RPG by the name of Brave Frontier made headlines by being one of the more-played games out since at the time there was no Final Fantasy mobile game in tow. It also made headlines down south in 2014 where it tried to win the equivalent of Best Made-In-Singapore game in the Digital Lif

Ubisoft just released the latest story trailer for their upcoming open world action game, Far Cry 5 which focuses on the main antagonist, Eden's Gate leader Joseph Seed. Drive combine harvesters, RPG helicopters and send your attack bear to tear the enemies apart (eh!?) as you fight on the side of the resistance, tryin

Capcom's sole meal ticket to relevance is out on PlayStation 4. Just when you thought it was going to ruin your next childhood franchise, along comes this game to restore faith into ye ol' Capsule Computer. Yeap, it's Monster Hunter and it's finally making a comeback to its console of origin(ish) after hanging around w

Man, I've spent quite a few hours with the 2D action Metroidvania platformer Rogue Legacy ever since it came out in 2013. I found the many traits you get at random when you start the game over and over rather endearing & annoying at the same time (especially the colourblind one and the gigantism one). Fun times; it

We somehow managed to corral several prominent names in the Southeast Asian video games media scene to talk about their favorite video game titles of 2017. Persona 5? Nier? Breath of the Wild? Here's what each and one of them had to say when asked - what's their 2017 Game of the Year? Also we included our own pick at t

We are finally here. The 'golden week' of games releases for this month. Tons of hyped-up games are hitting shelves this week so we decided to list five of the most anticipated titles gamers cannot wait to get their hands on. Shooters, action-adventure, a dancing game and even a contender to Breath of the Wild as Game
