2024 will go down in history as the saddest year for every Dragon Ball fan, as it was the year the series' legendary creator Akira Toriyama passed away. Without this tragic event, however, the year would have been remembered as a great one for the franchise as a whole, not only thanks to the release of the Dragon Ball Daima series but also to the return of the beloved Budokai Tenkaichi franchise. Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO is one of the best games based on the works of Toriyama-sensei ever made. Right from the start, it is clear how Dragon Ball: […]

Other Nintendo franchises may rise and fall, but the ever-dependable Mario Party has been steadily rocking since 1998. We’ve already received two entries in the franchise on Switch, the fairly well-received soft reboot of the series Super Mario Party and the more barebones throwback Mario Party Superstars, and now, we’re getting a third. As the name implies, Super Mario Party Jamboree is largely a continuation of what Super Mario Party started, with a focus on new modes and features over nostalgia. So, is Super Mario Party Jamboree one of the series’ good ones? Or are you going to want to […]

Despite not being as popular as Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest, the Ys series has every right to be considered one of the most important Japanese role-playing game series ever made. Since the first entry in the series was released in 1987, developer Falcom has been providing engaging ARPG experiences enriched by engaging narratives and rocking soundtracks that have made each entry memorable. The Japanese developer hasn't been averse to innovation, either, as the Ys series changed a lot over the years, going from the simple "bump" combat system, which required the red-haired adventurer Adol Christin to bump into enemies […]

While PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSDs are setting new storage performance benchmarks, the real-life and application benefits of getting those drives are still not worth the price you are paying for them. It's mostly an early adopters product for now and while we appreciate the speed-up, we would love to see the performance transition from synthetic benchmarks to actual use cases. And you know what's still considered to be quite fast without breaking your wallet? The current-gen PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSDs.

Starfield is, without a doubt, one of the most controversial games ever made by Bethesda. While it is undoubtedly a solid role-playing game that offers a vast world to explore and some gripping stories, it suffers from a certain lack of focus, evident in some of its elements, such as subpar exploration and traversal, the procedurally generated elements which end up being very repetitive, and a generally dated feel mostly represented by the loading screens that separate different areas. While I still generally enjoy the experience, my opinion of Starfield has soured a bit in the past year or so. […]

Diablo IV Vessel of Hatred is set to launch just about sixteen months after the debut of the base game. It's a much quicker timeframe than we've seen with Reaper of Souls, the first and only Diablo III expansion, which only materialized almost two years after the base game's launch. This speaks to a much greater commitment to the continued support of Diablo IV, as promised by Franchise Director Rod Fergusson, who confirmed around a year ago that players would get annual expansions. However, such an aggressive content plan inevitably has some drawbacks, particularly for the story. The plot of […]

Qualcomm is gearing up to announce its next flagship silicon next month, the Snapdragon 8 Elite, but before that unveiling, we want to provide some impartial thoughts on the REDMAGIC 9S Pro, an Android gaming smartphone that is kitted out with the best-in-class hardware you could ask for, including the upgraded version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The unit we got our hands on after scaling a boatload of import hurdles, retails for $899, making it decent if you compare the specifications on paper with other leading brands.

“Why are the games called ‘The Legend of Zelda’ when you always play as Link?” is an inescapable question asked by pretty much everybody who encounters Nintendo’s beloved series, and yet, the company has never really provided a satisfactory answer beyond, “Uh, just because.” Well, this four-decade-long confusing state of affairs is being resolved (for now) as The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom finally gives the Princess herself a starring role. This also marks the first original 2D Zelda title since 2013’s A Link Between Worlds, so a lot of longstanding fan requests are being satisfied at once here. […]
