Haven't seen our review yet? It's right here (spoiler-free, don't worry)! Keep in mind that once you unlock a suit's power, you can chang

Platform: PS4 Genre: Action Adventure, Spider-Man Simulator Amazing. Astonishing. Spectacular. Sensational.

But if you were to ask me what word I would choose? It

The new Spider-Man for the PS4 is coming out this week. And yes, it looks amazing (so far). However, aside from Spider-Man 2 and maybe Ultimate Spider-Man, most games based on everyone’s favourite wall-crawler usually range from the ones that are just above average in quality, to the ones that are downright drea

Nintendo and Cygames, the folks who made Gran Blue Fantasia and Hearthstone for Weebs Shadowverse, are teaming up to create a new mobile JRPG that's free-to-play.

From this mid-August until mid-October, we'll be releasing an SNK-themed retrospective per week as part of our tribute to SNK's 40th anniversary.

We had fun with the MapleStory 2 closed beta session a few weeks back. But you know what this means: the game is pretty close to launching later this year. Lo and behold, it is. Nexon announced that the game will be available for everyone on 10th October. When we mean "all", we mean American clients. There's still no

I'm not known to delve into the wonderful and time-consuming world of MMOs, let alone the MapleStory franchise. The first game has been around since 2005 and even until now it's seeing some updates and buzz.

Fortnite, now in the middle of pitch battle of controversies, is still looking to jump into uncharted waters. Unlike its latest efforts to get into the mobile space, which has turned sour pretty fast, this one is a risky venture.

QuakeCon 2018 is up and running, which also means that Doom Eternal is already revealed to the public. And by god it's everything we want from a sequel to Doom (2016 edition).

It's been just over 24 hours since Overwatch's 28th hero, Wrecking Ball a.k.a Hammond hit the live server and we are seeing complaints about him (it?) being OP. Having tested him on the PTR (on PC) and played about twenty maps as, alongside and against him on the PlayStation 4, we've come to a conclusion - No, Wrecking

Let's face it: nothing can top the climax of World of Warcraft's last expansion, Legion, in terms of stakes, theatrics, and endgame battles. So instead of trying to outshine it with another expansion that may diminish what was accomplished, Blizzard opt to follow up with something a little different. Not necessarily l
