In this time of strife and hardship, Nintendo has surprised the world with an unexpected 30-minute Nintendo Direct Mini 2020 pre-recorded video. However, it's 'Mini' only in name, as the presentation showcases a lot of exciting stuff for Nintendo Switch owners to look forward to for the rest of the year. Unfortunately

Few games out there have a cultural footprint as significant as Final Fantasy. Originally a fantasy role-playing game inspired by western titles such as Ultima and Wizardry, the first Final Fantasy in 1987 was a small project that followed four Warriors of Light as they set off on a grand adventure to save their world.

The Nintendo Direct Indie World 2020 showcase has wrapped up, and while some of the trailers were vague in terms of gameplay, there's still quite a bit to like here. Out of all the highlighted games, these were my top five: Summer Mara A "farming adventure" game where you get to decorate your island with buildings and

Platform: PS4, PC Genre: Soulsborne Action RPG I shuddered when my editors assigned me to Nioh 2. I still have recurring nightmares of suffering through the hellscape that was From Software's Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. That was my first experience of the vaunted Soulsborne genre, and it was a harrowing one that I w

The 3rd of March is supposed to be the release date of the Final Fantasy VII Remake. Due to some extra polishing, the long-awaited title will take an extra month. Which is fine for fans, since they are used to waiting for Final Fantasy titles to drop. But a total refurbishing of a classic 1997 JRPG that made the genre

While we wait for Doom Eternal to release in March, it seems like there aren't any interesting games at the moment. Or are there? The arrival of Metro Exodus on Steam aside, there are actually a few interesting-looking titles that came out this month. Let's have a look. Death and Taxes (RM30) Release Date: February

10 years. A ton of games. You know where we're going with this. To celebrate our long-standing hobby and because it's been a decade, let's celebrate and feature all the noteworthy games that have cropped up throughout the years from 2010 to 2019. https://youtu.be/FnGKEqmi8Hc That's awesome. But what about the most inf

A brand new fighting game has entered the field. It's a beautiful and vibrant game called Granblue Fantasy: Versus (GBVS) developed by Arc System Works, who are well-known for their works on anime-style fighting games. To many, GBVS might seem like a brand new game featuring a brand new concept, but it isn't. Rather,

As per the tradition of glorifying digital animals during Chinese New Year, it's now time to list down our favourite mice and rats in video game history. From the freaky to the cuddly and then back to disgusting because of the viruses they can carry, here are our top picks. Or bottom picks, depending on whether you li

Valve's recent December Steam sales stat has listed down some interesting titles. While it has the usual suspects like Halo: Reach (via Halo: The Master Chief Collection) and Red Dead Redemption 2, it also highlighted surprising entries like Nancy Drew: Midnight in Salem and VR Paradise: Gentlemen's Club. The list be

Sad news for global Mobius Final Fantasy fans and fictional pretty boy abs. The iOS and Android mobile game will be ending its service on 30th June worldwide (via Gematsu) but will end early for Japanese mobile gaming fans on 31st March. The game will begin shutting down right after the conclusion of its current Warri

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. It's a number that ranges in the hundreds. In fact, there are more video game releases in a year than there are actual days. Knowing that

Near the end of 2019, Square Enix revealed that 2018's Dragon Quest XI: Echoes Of An Elusive Age managed to sell more than 5.5 million copies worldwide. That's impressive for a niche and traditional turn-based JRPG game. Now Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii has provided an update on the next instalment of the long-runni

So you've just finished watching The Witcher on Netflix and you want more monster-slaying adventures. You've been hearing people sing praises about that one particular video game, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, so you really want to try it out. However, everyone tells you it's one of those games that will take at least doz

The holiday season is upon us! That means a lot of video game sales across lots of platforms including Steam. The Epic Games Store (EGS) is hosting their own Holiday Sale 2019 and it's got a lot of great games. The EGS has always been known for its almost-unfair levels of generosity when it comes to discounts and free

You have seen the Free Guy trailer starring Ryan Reynolds, right? It’s essentially about an NPC who gets free will and becomes a hero to combat all the bad guys populating the open-world game he’s stuck in, possibly programmed by Taika Waititi’s character. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2m-08cOA

I enjoyed my time in The Outer Worlds. It's a great focused improvement over past Obsidian RPGs and an evolution of sorts for their brand of game-making. I can't wait to play more of this game if the company plans on creating new episodes and stories in the same universe. And they will, apparently. Obsidian announced

If you're a big fan of isometric RPGs, then you've surely heard of Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire. Up until now, the game has only been released for PC but that's about to change with the release of the Ultimate Edition.
