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

As much as we love being exhilarated by action RPGs and the occasional ball-buster like Sekiro, sometimes we like to shut our brains off and just press away for instant results and gratification. That's where the clicker games come in: whether they're for PC or mobile, you can count on these Skinner box tools to make y

Platform: PS4, Xbox One, PC Genre: Soulsborne, Action RPG, Stealth In my hands-on first impression of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, I stated that this might be the game that finally makes me a Soulsborne fan.

In honour of Sekiro's One-Armed Wolf, a shinobi/ninja with a grappling hook and the ability to resurrect when needed, let's talk about video games' plethora of silent killers, one-man powerhouses, and black/white-clad sword-wielding shuriken-chucking heroes: the video game ninja. Unlike the real-life variant, most v

Platforms: PS4, PC, Xbox One Genre: Puzzle game where you figure out a 100 ways to kill a demon; of course it's an action game! For a good amount of time in the 90s and even the 2000s, Capcom was at their prime with arcade and action games galore. But let's focus more on the latter. After the first Devil May Cry was r

Let's face hard cold facts: Capcom wouldn't have its slew of IPs right now -Resident Evil and Devil May Cry- were it not for two figureheads formerly from the company: Shinji Mikami and Hideki Kamiya. But since it's Devil May Cry week, we're going to focus on the latter's accomplishments. For as brash and outspoken as

As we complete week 2 of the matches, we get a better understanding as in where these teams stand in the grand scheme of things. How good are the Titans? Is the San Francisco Shock overrated? How's that for a first win, eh, Shanghai? Before we go any further, here are the full results of Week 2: Shanghai Cracks the

This story is still in development... A new season draws new. Street Fighter 5's Season 4 patch is up and live on PlayStation 4.

Happy birthday Malaysia! To celebrate the actual birthdate of this fine country (since Sarawak & Sabah fully gained independence on this date), we should look back at the few times the country was portrayed in a video game.

Nintendo recently sold over 20 million units of the Switch; congratulations! That's definitely a far cry from the sales numbers of the Wii U, which is probably the worst-selling console next to the Virtual Boy.
