2019 was a year of getting reacquainted with some quality game time. As a PC gamer, I spent a lot of time clearing my backlog of Steam games (most notably Divinity Original Sin 2). However, there were also many new developments worth shouting about news-wise. Here we go! #1. Mortal Kombat 11 I was 10 years old when

Another year in the books. Taking a look back at all the things that happened in 2019, I find myself pleasantly surprised by the number of video game releases there was this year.

I was just trying to keep alive. I grew up spending hours trying to keep alive playing side-scrolling games like Ninja Gaiden, Battletoads and Contra. My personal favourite of that era was Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight (which was not even really a Street Fighter game or Final Fight game). I had the Famicom versi

There's always something sublime about having a fighting game return to form while also injecting something new in a competitive scene. The 2019 version of Samurai Shodown does just that with a ton of swordplay and with raw power. What it lacks in esports tailoring and flair -like with Street Fighter V and Tekken 7 th

Talk about huge winds of change country-wise. While last year's Capcom Cup was Asia-centric, the West is truly won in Capcom Cup 2019. It's America vs America for the grand finals, with all of the Japanese players all but relegated past the top three. That includes Mago, Tokido, Fuudo, and Nemo, as well as Taiwan's Oi

Like we've said countless times, organizing a large-scale event is a lot of hard work, be it a tournament or a game expo. Having said that, most organizers would have their events and setups down to a science, especially if it's something as renowned as the premier event for your beloved fighting game franchise. And if

It’s that time of year again. After what has been arguably the most competitive season of the Capcom Pro Tour so far, the top 32 Street Fighter V players in the world will be gathering for the Capcom Cup 2019 finals - the culmination of the international esports fighting game circuit that is the Capcom Pro Tour.

Believe it or not, it's already a year since we were graced by the current king of best-selling fighting game and fastest-selling Nintendo Switch game. No matter how you look it, there's no denying that it's one of the most successful execution of "easy to learn, hard to master" in a fighting game. Happy first anniver

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the original PlayStation, which originally launched in Japan on 3 December 1994 and changing the landscape of the gaming industry forever. Sony's first console is currently the fifth best-selling gaming console of all-time (including handhelds), with over 102.49 million units sold to

Remember a while back in 2013 when Capcom announced a free-to-play dungeon crawler called Deep Down? We don't blame you if you don't,  because Capcom kinda forgot about it. There's still some life signs in the project though. When asked about the game via  Eurogamer, Yoshinori Ono said that the game still has

Esports has grown so big that even non-gamers and the mainstream media can no longer ignore how far esports has come. Just recently, we had LCS 2019 match between SK Telecom T1 and G2 Esports becoming the most-watched esports event in history with almost four million concurrent viewers. With numbers like that, there's

The classic video game boss is a dwindling idea. At a time when open-world and online games have flourished, there’s little way for an imposing entity to hinder progress, especially when player choice is paramount. Bosses do offer something unique, however. For some players, the challenge is part of the fun. To

Southeast Asia Major. As a member of the Malaysian fighting game community for almost the past decade now, it seems like we’ve always acknowledged that SEAM is the biggest, most important annual fighting game tournament in our region. Whether or not that will actually hold true in years to come remains to be s

Actor, rapper, philanthropist, and a cool dad in general. I believe that description alone is enough for a lot of people to know who I want to talk about. That's right, I want to talk about one of my favourite actors of all time: Will Smith. To be precise, I want to share with you guys my list of favourite sci-fi movi

The latest expansion for Monster Hunter World, Iceborne, is really reinvigorating more love for Capcom's meal ticket franchise that doesn't involve zombies and street fighting. So much so that the game holds the current achievement of shipping and selling over 14 million copies worldwide. To put things into perspectiv

There are two months left before we wave 2019 goodbye and welcome 2020, which is expected to be one hell of a year for esports. Still, there is a lot of competitive gaming action going on this October. So if you're on the lookout for tournaments to join or just want to go watch great players duke it against each other
