Crowdfunding for boardgames adapted from video games is commonplace these days: just ask Dark Souls and Street Fighter about it sometime. It's not going to stop, at least if this new Company of Heroes Kickstarter project is of any indication.   Tabletop folks Bad Crow Games will be turning Relic's epic Second Wo

Capcom will release a "love adventure" game called Towaware no Palm for the Nintendo Switch in Japan on 30th August. Previously, the game was out on mobile phones back in 2016. Based on the trailer below, it's a story about a black-haired guy or a blonde hunk who interacts with you through a mirror at a place they're

Collaborations between brands are no unique feat, just look at Uniqlo and their numerous sweet collaborations, bringing fans t-shirts with themes such as Street Fighter, Overwatch, Super Mario and Gundam. Oppo has collaborated with Gundam to bring you Gundam-themed smartphones and power banks, and my word, it loo

Uniqlo is a company well known for its collaborations with pop culture to create sweet merchandise, for example, they have Overwatch themed t-shirts, Monster Hunter tees, and Mario tees. So, when Uniqlo set about holding their annual design contest last year, the chosen theme was Pokémon, and after a while, they

Capcom is one of those brands you need no introduction of. It's been etched in the minds of the young and old from the early days of gaming from the arcade days to current cutting edge consoles. So it's no surprise when Capcom lists out their top ten titles that have sold more than one million units. As a matter of fa

In the past decade, the mobile app market has thrived as a platform for enjoyable experiences on the go. The market first started out offering many complete games for flat but affordable prices. That format has maintained itself over the years, but as the number of mobile apps rose exponentially, developers had to adap

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

This is a crazy day for esports. Dexerto reports that former Los Angeles Lakers player and Echo Fox owner Rick Fox is severing ties with the organization. Why? Because during an email exchange with a partner within investor Vision Esports, there was racist language used to refer to a high profile representative of the

Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One, PC Genre: NetherRealm-branded 2D fighting with ninjas Right from the game's launch trailer (which came out days before its 23 April release date), developer Netherrealm Studios are doing a throwback with their latest Mortal Kombat. Combining the new from MKX and the old from MK9, Mortal

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

When you think games like Street Fighter V or Uncharted 4, you think Capcom and Naughty Dog. But you never think of names like Streamline Studios or even Virtuos. The reality is those latter companies are knee-deep in developing these games moreso than you think. The third-party asset-creation company is integral in g

With PlayStation Classic and Sega Genesis Mini starting to fill in the retro-gaming market alongside the Neo Geo Mini, Capcom decides to join in with its retro-console, the Capcom Home Arcade.

This was my time at GameSpot, so I was on high alert as to whether Ed Boon and his then-new studio can recapture the glo

I mean, imagine fighting the dragons in Skyrim without a piece of background music, it's awkward and wouldn't deliver the same goosebump-inducing moment. So it's understandable that many of the sounds and music in video games have a
