Very old game, dating back to 2005, but one of the most influential MMOs out there. I’ve always seen it as being a competitor to WoW, because I would always see this game being promoted in bookstores alongside WoW, and I think even some of the development team from WoW left just to develop Guild Wars Prophecy. It’s not as relevant anymore since…[Read more]

Easily one of the best CS games out there, maybe even the most popular shooter game. It’s more refined than a game like CS 1.6, but this game does sometimes suffer from cheaters and bad communities due to the overall hyper-competitiveness of the game. But aside from those issues, which are more of community issues than game issues, the game is…[Read more]

I was kind of surprised that this game was released in 2004, at least according to the game’s Steam page, yet has a strong fanbase. That’s quite incredible for a game that’s almost 20 years old. Obviously, the graphics isn’t up-to-par with the graphics of shooters today, but the main emphasis on the game is more about the gameplay which this game…[Read more]

Amazing Battlefield game, might even be better than Battlefield 4 minus the graphics. Plot of the game is superb, taking place in the Middle East in a fictional “war of 2014”, with four playable characters during the campaign. Also features some elements from Battlefield: Bad Company like fighter jets which is nice. For online gameplay, it’s not…[Read more]

Fantasy has always played an important role in the RPG and MMORPG genre, and even reaching other genres like MOBAs, open world action-adventures, strategy games, and even certain card games. The only genre that I can think of where fantasy might not be as popular would be in shooter games, since those games tend to emphasize more of a military theme.

I don’t think video games were ever “male industry” since anybody can enjoy games. And you would even occasionally have games in the past that featured female protagonists, even to this day; games like Metroid and Tomb Raider which featured female protagonists. And sure, games were mostly marketed to males, but did that ever stop a female from…[Read more]

It’s not really that surprising at all. Mobile phones are generally cheaper than PCs, and they’re also more convenient to use. Personally I’m not a huge fan of most mobile games, especially mobile games that are difficult to control, but I will admit that there are a ton of them.

I haven’t seen people used smartwatches for playing games. I just don’t think it’s really that viable, because 1) you’re dealing with a small screen and 2) it can be hard to play games since games either require two hands or require one dominant hand [and you can’t really play a game with your right hand, if you wear a watch on your right…[Read more]

Amazing sequel to Battlefield 3. Gameplay and graphics is top-notch, a lot better than previous Battlefield games since it was built on the Frostbite engine which was new at the time. Single-player campaign is kind of cool, taking place in the not-so-distant future of 2020, six years after the events of Battlefield 3, where there’s conflict among…[Read more]

Pretty good tower defense game. Game actually looks nice, especially with the effective use of lighting and the art style. It’s unlike a lot of tower defense games I’ve seen since it’s 3D requiring the player to move around and place traps, but also fight enemies. Overworld can sometimes feel like a labyrinth which can make the game somewhat…[Read more]

One of the best MMORPGs I’ve seen in a while. Was quite revolutionary at its debut (2008-2009), especially since CryEngine was licensed to NCsoft to produce this title. Game had almost everything: stunning graphics, excellent PvPvE gameplay, and nice and refreshing story. Plus NCsoft is just good at making MMORPGs, especially considering they’re…[Read more]

It’s an alright social / virtual world game. It’s kind of neat that it’s a game you can play on a browser, but what I think this game suffers most from is the user interface. I don’t like that there’s a bunch of interface windows everywhere since it looks untidy; for instance, you have navigation bars on the top of the screen, a map on the top…[Read more]

Pretty cool virtual world, especially great for kids. Feels kind of like Club Penguin in some ways, but with human characters. Game also has fun activities and mini-games ranging from a water balloon game to a roller coaster game to a fashion show game to farming crops. This game also has pets and egg hatching which is kind of neat as well.…[Read more]

When I think Egypt, the first thing I thought of was Assassin’s Creed Origins. Cover art of the game even has a pyramid in the background.

You always got to make time to play games. Not like sacrificing sleep, but more like creating and planning out a schedule. Even break times can be convenient to play games, especially for mobile games, so there are lots of opportunities.

The Nintendo Switch was definitely revolutionary, but not so much for being “mobile”. Don’t get me wrong, you can still enjoy playing games wherever you want since it is technically portable, but so were Nintendo’s console predecessors (3DS, DS, GBA, GB). I think what made the Switch so successful was that it combined portable gaming with home…[Read more]

So much has changed over the years with video game hardware. Seems like in the past, there were more mechanical components, but centuries later, hardware has become more electrical.

It’s a virtual world that advertises itself as a game where you can make friends and make music. Seems kind of neat for its time, and looks like a game more for 8 year olds. The mini-games are alright; there’s an ice cream mini-game where the player puts toppings on ice cream, which kind of reminds me of the pizza mini-game from Club Penguin, so…[Read more]

This game hasn’t aged that well in my opinion. It’s from 2002, so a bunch of features can feel clunky. Single player mode does feature its own AI which probably would have been neat in retrospect, but so much has improved in modern times. Graphics isn’t the best, and is somewhat comparable to Battlefield: Vietnam’s graphics. But one aspect I do…[Read more]

It’s a 2006 game that’s kind of old, but looks a lot better than Battlefield: Vietnam. Game’s theme tries to achieve a futuristic look, featuring things like armored walkers, yet the game does still have a sense of a military theme like in other Battlefield games. Game probably has more in common with Battlefield 2, especially with vehicles, rank…[Read more]
