Blink and suddenly we are into the third week of Stage 2 in the Overwatch League's inaugural season and as we go deeper into it, so does the plot involving the twelve teams in the league. In preparation of Week 3, here are the six main questions we hope to be answered by the end of the week. But before we go any furthe

To celebrate the live-action Tomb Raider film reboot that will be out later this week, we look back at the many highs and lows of Lara Croft's demise and death animations. Not since Bubsy have we seen this much care and detail being put in a character's temporary exit from life. Disclaimer: these animations can make s

On the flip side of the Metal Gear Survive kerfuffle, another Japanese game franchise is doing incredibly well, especially in the overseas market. We're referring to Monster Hunter: World, which is Capcom's not-so-subtle way of starting 2018 with a big bang and making us forget about their other crap like the recent Ma

Yesterday, the official Japanese Overwatch Twitter account 'mistakenly' posted a tweet which may (or not) have given clues on the latest Overwatch hero, codenamed 'Hero 27'. What they intended to do was post this following 'teaser

Assassins or Templars? Good guys vs bad guys; or it's more than just a simple case of black and white? The world of Assassin's Creed weaves an intricate, complex relationship between the protagonists and their opposites which are centuries old.

I walked into the Marvel's Black Panther media preview with tempered expectations, having consciously avoided all the trailers and teasers released to date. My exposure to the Marvel marketing machine were limited to the first trailer and its second TV spot; I even avoided reading any reviews published online just so t

In case you missed the news, our neighbours from Singapore just launched its first-ever Final Fantasy-themed café promotion at Watanabe Coffee to promote Dissidia Final Fantasy NT. Not only did they decorate the place with a ton of Final Fantasy memorabilia, they also are serving a special Final Fantasy-the

Update: we reviewed the special set. Head here to see the verdict. Remember that Square Enix Final Fantasy café four years ago in Tokyo? Well, someone in the company finally realized that there are a heckaton of Final Fantasy fans in Southeast Asia. Ergo, they figured it was high time they received the same kind of

The Big N that birthed Mario figured it coud one-up Google's VR cardboard. How, you may ask? By letting you slot your Nintendo Switch into different assortments of cardboard like a piano, a fishing road, and a robot. This new idea is called Nintendo Labo. Here's the official quote from the presser we got: "Together w

2017 is done and over with. Let's celebrate this lovely new year with, what else, a list of games confirmed for 2018. Or at least, the ones we know of since the past few months. We'll break it down into quarters so that it's easier for us to refer to. As for games that don't have anything more than a "2018" stamp on i

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

Comics have been my passion ever since I was a little kid, growing up on Saturday morning cartoons like Spider-Man: The Animated Series and Batman: The Animated Series. I remember watching Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man in cinemas a whopping 15 years ago in 2002, at the tender impressionable age of 8. It was mind-blowin
