The biggest esports teams in the world often have their own physicians or "esports doctors" that help them minimise injury and maximise benefits from proper training schedules, dieting habits, and more. Just look at how successful Astralis became after hiring their own psychologist. The esports scene in Malaysia is be

We’re nearing the end of 2019 now but there’s still a wealth of binge-worthy content coming to Netflix in the final few months of the year. With the impending arrival of Halloween in October, Netflix is offering a slew of spooky offerings (and non-horror content too if you're not into things that go bump

It's been a while since we've played a four-player-or-more co-op Resident Evil game since RE: Outbreak. So it's high time Capcom went back to that zombie-filled well in its upcoming spin-off Project Resistance. Leaked earlier last week, Capcom now made it official with its latest teaser trailer. It's looking like a fo

Re:Legend isn’t just your run of the mill farming simulator. It aspires to be so much more. Malaysian games studio Magnus Games Studio released Re:Legend to the public through Steam Early Access as of 30th August. Although the game in its current state is riddled with bugs, don’t let the mixed reviews on

We went to the Huawei Nova 5T global launching event at KLCC earlier today, where the Chinese tech giant unveiled the latest addition to its nova family of smartphones. Gamers will appreciate the Do Not Disturb mode, which allows them to play games without having to worry about calls or other interruptions. In additio

Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding was first revealed back at E3 2016. The debut trailer began with a portion of William Blake's poem Auguries of Innocence followed by the words "Sony Interactive Entertainment presents". Since that moment, we were all convinced that Death Stranding is going to be a PS4 exclusive. A Resete

From the moment that Remedy, makers of Max Payne and Quantum Break, revealed Control at E3 2018 gamers of a certain age were struck by the same thought; "Hey! This looks like Psi-Ops!" [caption id="attachment_29457" align="alignnone" width="960"] "Hey! This looks like Psi-Ops!"[/caption] No, really. Hear me out. Con

Vivo has officially launched its new Vivo S1 smartphone in Malaysia today. The reasonably-priced device is geared towards the youth, with decent specs and even an ultra game mode for all mobile gamers out there. In Ultra Game Mode, Vivo S1 users can customize and tweak the settings of each individual game to improve t

Boom! Tetris for Paul. After a gruelling set of semi-finals and grand final matches featuring Classic Tetris on the NES (ie not the one from Tengen), we finally have our Singapore representative for the upcoming Classic Tetris World Championship 2019: Paul Yeo.

One of the great recipes of a memorable and beloved game is the music and sound design. For a game series like Monster Hunter, creating the thunderous roars and other wild sounds of its various fauna has always been an adventure in itself. The same holds true for Monster Hunter World and its upcoming major expansion I

As I've reported earlier, the Langrisser remake is coming to English markets early 2020 for PC, PS4, and Nintendo Switch, which means more strategy RPG goodness for old-school fans. Unfortunately, it comes with a pretty plain remixed art style and none of the perky charm of the original. I am referring to the works of

Creative Assembly's Total War franchise is known for being one of the most demanding games for the PC in terms of sheer processing power. It takes a beast of a machine to render those stacks of infantry and cavalry units clashing against each other. It's crazy to imagine that we've reached a point where we can play the

It's safe to say that Pokémon: Detective Pikachu is the best video game movie adaptation of this recent generation, at least in the eyes of your favourite movie score aggregator site. Our very own Comicslord said it himself that it's a lovely kid's film that wears its Pokémon name loud and proud despite its fl

Eximius: Seize the Frontline gets two new battlesuits and a slew of feature updates in the latest Spring patch. The Malaysian-based developers, Ammobox Studios, had a bit of a problem with their publisher but now they are coming back strong with this update. The game looks and feels even better now, rivalling triple

It's been five years since the last Mortal Kombat game, a series that is knee-deep in fighting game history because of its controversy and palette-swapped ninjas. From making history via the creation of the ESRB to creating a standard in easter eggs and game secrets, it's no surprise the Mortal Kombat franchise has a h

The Mobile Legends Bang Bang (MLBB) Professional League (MPL) MY/SG Season 3 has just concluded with GeekFam emerging as the champions, bringing home the prize of US$25,000 (RM103,312).

If you've played a lot of beat-em-ups back in the day, anything with the word "River City" in the front means you're playing a classic left-to-right side-scrolling pugilistic affair. You'll also know that it's the Western version of the Kunio-kun games, now under the publishing umbrella of Arc System Works alongside Do

There's a game you can play on Google Earth (yes, you read that right), and it features none other than the globe-trotting master thief herself, Carmen Sandiego. Some might not realize (even those who grew up with the iconic 90s animated series) that the franchise actually started as educational edutainment game in the

For Season 2 of the Overwatch League, we are previewing the franchises a bit differently from any other video games/ esports news outlets. Resuming our post last year where we paired the twelve Overwatch League franchises with their English Premier League counterparts, we have an easier (or perhaps tougher) task this y
