Outer Worlds Review: Honestly a bloody good game

A few weeks go by, and you see it again (either from an ad or … Continue reading Outer Worlds Review: Honestly a bloody good game

Sekiro – How this game teaches you about real life

Let’s ignore all the GOTY 2019 shenanigans and all the hype around the game. Is Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice actually fun? Short Answer: Yes Long Answer: WHATINTHEWORLDTHISISSODIFFICULT but also yes.

Top 7 games that needs a remaster RIGHT NOW

Final Fantasy 7, Uncharted, and Resident Evil are all examples of games getting onto the “Remake” bandwagon.

Word. Pokemon GO, whether you like it or not, took the world by storm during its release.

8 things You Probably Miss From the Old Gunbound

Similar to Maplestory, a game that dominated most of our time when we should be studying was Gunbound.

Here are some memories from Gunbound that you probably experienced before. From my previous post, listening to the BGM while reading … Continue reading 8 things You Probably Miss From the Old Gunbound

A Grand Theft Auto Clone No More. Is that Necessarily good?

For years, Saints Row has always been dubbed the clone of Grand Theft Auto . With an open world gameplay, a storyline that centers around a gang looking for total control, and senseless shooting with all kinds of weapons, it’s hard not to look at it that way. However, SR:GofH seeks to finally put a wedge in between GTA and itself. In fact, it has … Continue reading A Grand Theft Auto Clone No More. Is that Necessarily good?

6 Things Neopets Taught Me Which No School Ever Did

The word ‘Neopets’ is probably nostalgic to everyone, especially those born in the 90s. It signalled the beginning of an era where you had to fight to use the telephone or the Internet and also the slow loading of images. Nonetheless, Neopets bore the significance of being life’s greatest tutor. Neopets actually had all of life’s greatest lessons implanted into it, even more than a … Continue reading 6 Things Neopets Taught Me Which No School Ever Did

There’s too many … Continue reading 4 Reasons Why You Should Play Pokemon Right Now

The Science of Daily Quests

Daily quests, or dailies for short, is not a new concept in the MMORPG genre. It’s prominence was mostly depicted in WoW, where the quests had significantly better rewards than repeatable quests. According to WoWwiki,  dailies are repeatable quests that can be acquired and completed once per day. I’ve been recently playing Hearthstone and HotS, and the dailies certainly played a huge role in my commitment to … Continue reading The Science of Daily Quests

What Makes A Good Mobile Game?

What makes a good mobile game? For this article, I will be discounting marketing and budget limitations. This formula considers graphics and sound, genre, pricing model, and gameplay simplicity. Aesthetics To achieve good aesthetics, we are concerned with choosing either ‘realistic’ or ‘cartoon-like’ interfaces for graphics and sound. A ‘cartoon-like’ game is likely to have better aesthetics as it is easier to incorporate vibrant colours, … Continue reading What Makes A Good Mobile Game?

The Death of World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft , or WoW to most people, has been the epitome of a MMORPG. They had once perfected the formula of an intriguing lore, interactive gameplay and a generally fun MMORPG, to the extent that new entrants of MMORPGs can only hope to follow WoW and hopefully differentiate itself along the way. Games I’ve played after WoW (admittedly not much) such as RO2, … Continue reading The Death of World of Warcraft
