If you find the title a mouthful and perhaps confusing, you’re not alone. Why is there a combination of Roman numerals and numbers in “II.8”? What does “Final Chapter Prologue” means? In the past, there were curiously named titles such “358/2 Days”, “Re:Chain of Memories” and “Birth by Sleep”. ...
Darksiders was a memorable game to me. I attended its preview event in Hong Kong, and thoroughly enjoyed playing the game in 2010 on last-generation consoles. While the sequel had received its remastered treatment for quite a while, the prequel only made its appearance last December. Warmastered edition is ...
You’ve played open-world games before but not quite like this. Just as Spider-Man 2 invoked web-slinging joy between the towering skyscrapers of Manhattan, Gravity Rush 2 elicits the same starry-eyed wonder as Kat hovers and falls through various floating cities. It’s an experience that burns itself in one’s memory, ...

Respawn Entertainment’s first-person shooter took the safe route with a predictable campaign, multiplayer progression that’s essentially nine years old, and core mechanics already found in its predecessor. But you know what? It’s still so damn good. Wherever the first game fell short ...
After a long wait, the Microsoft Xbox One S has finally arrived in our sunny island. When the Xbox One launched, our (and many gamers) first impressions weren’t great. It was bulky, needed an external power adapter, and looked worse for wear than its predecessor – the Xbox 360. ...
Sword Art Online: Hollow Realisation is the fourth instalment based on a popular Japanese light novel. It started off with Infinity Movement (PlayStation Portable), followed by Hollow Fragment (PS4 and Vita) and Lost Song (PS3, pS4 and Vita).
