The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes Preview – Descend into darkness

By 5 Mins Read
house of ashes preview banner

Just in time for Halloween, I have had the pleasure of experiencing the latest from Supermassive’s The Dark Pictures Anthology, House of Ashes. In this hour and a half build of the game that takes us from the prologue to the end of the first act, I was treated to jump scares, an intriguing plot, and an introduction to our five main characters that overall, looked to be a promising entry into the series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k376AdPGCPg House of Ashes starts during the Sumerian Dynasty when its mad king is sacrificing prisoners to appease their gods. As an invading army continues their siege on the empire, the king orders his general, Balathu, to prepare for battle. As an eclipse descends upon their city, an ancient evil emerges from the shadows to feed, and now, friend and foe are united to fend off this new enemy. As seen from previous iterations of the…

By 4 Mins Read
hearthstone mercenaries banner

Hearthstone is about to get a huge bump in content come October 12 as Mercenaries, the new game mode, is set to go live. Mercenaries is totally free and a new way to play Hearthstone, so everyone is certainly invited to try it out to see what the fuss is all about. Ahead of its release, we got to sit down and take a shot at the upcoming mode and suffice to say, Mercenaries offers a lot of content to sink your teeth into, even if you’re just looking for a purely PVE affair. https://youtu.be/OflnVhFRKJs What is Mercenaries? Mercenaries offers the core card-battling gameplay of Hearthstone but takes it in a slightly different direction, employing a rock-paper-scissors mechanic to determine damage effectivity against opponent cards. You use Mercenary cards that belong under 3 roles – Protectors (red), Fighters (green), and Casters (blue), as signified by their card color. These cards…

After such a long wait, fans of the franchise now have the latest installment in Metroid Dread for the Nintendo Switch and the reception has been overly positive, to say the least. The Metroid Dread Special Edition is a solid package and an absolute must-buy for fans. Because of its relatively cheap retail price of $89.99 (PHP5,495 in the Philippines), the price is not a big turn-off and based on what you get in return, is totally worth it Contents of the special edition include: Base gameCollectible steelbook case190-page Metroid franchise artbookSet of five holographic art cards While not officially included in the contents, you might as well put the outer box of the special edition as part of it because it looks gorgeous enough to be a centerpiece and a worthy addition to your growing collection.

The ROG Flow X13 is the all-in-one device for the urban professional

rog flow x13 feature cover

As someone who has a full-time work-from-home arrangement, I have a humble setup but not a lot of space to work with. I can only dream of the time when I can have a full-fledged workspace complete with all manners of peripherals that can be worthy of an Instagram post. For now, I work with what I have, which has a mix of a lot of things but still mostly gaming-related that really describes my personality. Take a look at my ‘before the ROG Flow X13’ setup: Not a lot of space here. Also dirty walls. The most immediate question you might ask is why the Switch Dock isn’t plugged in, but more importantly, how huge my laptop is that it almost eats up a good chunk of space that I could be using for something else. I’m not a fan of desktop setups because of the space it eats…

Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars is surprisingly good

By 6 Mins Read
voice of cards demo screenshot 1

Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars, at first glance, appears like a traditional JRPG but with cards. Yoko Taro and his team have always been known to take an existing formula and turning it on its head, taking liberties with the storytelling that requires trust and patience. The payoff is usually worth it, more often than not. Making an appearance at the recently concluded Nintendo Direct, we’re shown a game that’s literally made of cards – an entire epic spanning a full story, characters, world, combat system, and even its own mini-game involving… well cards. It sounds like a concept that can easily be dismissed but we would caution against it because Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars is loads of fun and even quite captivating, as it takes elements of classic JRPG’s and presents it in a whole different way that is fresh and interesting. The real-life…

playstation showcase 2021 recap

Sony’s PlayStation Showcase 2021 is now in the books as fans have waited a long time to see the latest updates from the company after it had skipped the recent E3 and Gamescom shows. The wait, it seems, was worth it, as the show was filled with great reveals and updates spanning the likes of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake, Forspoken, and much more. The biggest reveal though was from Insomniac Games which unveiled Marvel’s Wolverine and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. We also got our first look at God of War Ragnarok, which is looking fantastic.

tales of arise collector's edition complete 2

Tales of Arise, the latest entry in the long-running series from Bandai Namco, has finally arrived and is now in the hands of fans who have waited years for a new game. It has received rave reviews across the board from various outlets, with our own review calling it “a solid outing that we can’t recommend enough” and is a must-play for fans and newcomers. Apart from being a must-play, the Tales of Arise Collector’s Edition is definitely a must-have for fans. Sporting a HUGE but exquisite-looking box and slipcase, the Collector’s Edition sold out almost immediately after being posted by local retailers on their respective websites. And for good reason, because I think it’s one of the best CE’s in terms of packaging I’ve ever owned in recent memory. The Tales of Arise Collector’s Edition retailed for $199.99 or PHP9,995 and includes the following items: Full Game (Ultimate Edition)Collectible…

call of duty vanguard screenshot 6

Call of Duty: Vanguard will find itself in unfamiliar territory later this year when it faces off against a couple of heavy-hitters making their comeback after years of absence. With its return to a WWII setting, Vanguard aims to take players back to some gritty boots-on-the-ground action carried by superb gunplay that the franchise has been known for. Following the Champion Hill Preview, we recently got a chance to take a look at the upcoming Call of Duty: Vanguard Multiplayer modes along with a number of outfits from the Southeast Asian region, and needless to say, it was a couple of hours of fun but still mostly the game you’ve come to know over the years. Whether that is a good or bad thing, we’ll leave it completely up to you. Go as fast as you can take it Call of Duty: Vanguard Multiplayer is divided into 3 “Combat Pacing”…
