The Game Awards 2019 is happening soon in the next few weeks, so it's apparent that the nominations are primed and ready.  Turns out that it's chock-filled with Death Stranding. No, really: th

Fans of Street Fighter III; you'll be getting your favourite resurrecting final boss in  Street Fighter V.  I'm referring to the two-coloured Illuminati leader Gill. Oh, and Street Fighter V will be getting a Champion Edition too because this game is ever-evolving and Capcom needs to make its SFV money and proje

This guide is still under development; the game just came out after all. Controversy and "Dexit" aside, there's a lot to like about Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield for the Switch. It's an accommodating entry for newbies, the new Pokémon are cool and nifty (more on that on a future article), and there are

Ever heard of the Blacksad comics? They tell the story of a private investigator named John Blacksad. It takes place in 1950s America and has everything you'd expect from a film noir style mystery comic book. Here's the twist: everyone is an anthropomorphic animal.

Planet Zoo gives you a ton of options and choices on building the perfect animal-filled park, be it a digital safari or a snowy tundra-esque "biodome". But truth be told, there's a lot going on in the game thanks to its management options and a plethora of animals to choose from. So how should you start your zoo-makin

Platform: PC Genre: Animal farm, minus the politics Planet Zoo is basically Planet Coaster but with animals. That's all there is to it. Instead of managing and maintaining a theme park, you run a zoo. From giraffes to lion enclosures, the world's your safari-savvy playground. If you're looking for a huge improvement

Virtual Reality is such an amazing thing. With it, you can paint on 3D canvases in a way never done before. You can transport to different places and worlds, see things in a different perspective, and so much more.

It seems like Pixar is geared for a phenomenal 2020, as it releases the first trailer for Soul, one of two original animated movies from the celebrated company coming out next year (after Onward). Previously, no one knew what exactly Soul would be about, but now we have an idea. Jazz music puts the 'soul' in Soul, and

[This review was originally published on 1st November, 2019] It's not easy to one-up the horror work of an auteur like Stanley Kubrick. But it's easy to change direction just a mite and make a sequel that neither imitate nor duplicates. That's what director  Mike Flanagan did with the 2019  sequel to The Shinin

First and foremost, I want to establish that I am, for all intents and purposes, a complete ignoramus when it comes to almost everything related to cars and automobiles in general.

It's really no surprise the latest Call of Duty is doing great sales-wise: it's the most requested title since the Modern Warfare trilogy 10 years or so ago. This "reboot" of sorts goes back to basics with its single-player and multiplayer modes while also adding in great feedback and tactical elements to make sure you

Dank corridors with the virtual smell of death surrounding barbarians, sorceresses, and shapeshifting druids. Crimson rivers spiralling within randomly-generated dungeons and pitfalls. Innocents sacrificed for a greater evil that started the Diablo mythos. Large bosses falling apart in R-rated violent chunks. That's t

It's official: Diablo IV is real after much leaking and speculation. And a demo is playable at BlizzCon 2019. So what's new in this action RPG? Well, not much save for a grittier and darker art style and tone, but really, what needs changing? Diablo IV's main themes are "darkness", "world", and "legacy". The game will
