Monstrously addictive
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 07/02/2018
» Despite seeing dozens of titles released under the name since its initial debut in 2004, Capcom's Monster Hunter -- the Japanese studio's famed action-RPG franchise -- has never been a mainstream hit. With its admittedly repetitive gameplay loop, nail-biting difficulty and archaic controls, Monster Hunter is one of those games that you either love to death or avoid entirely, with no room in between.

New, with a sci-fi paint job
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 23/11/2016
» Hardcore gamer or not, the name Call Of Duty -- publisher Activision's phenomenally popular first-person military shooter game franchise -- is one that you have most likely heard about. Released annually around the holiday season since 2005, Call Of Duty has been a household name for video games for the last decade, and is arguably one of the most influential titles of the modern video game era, despite having only minimal variations in its overall gameplay across the dozens of games with its name.

Not yet final
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 21/12/2016
» Ever since its first title was released in 1987 for the Nintendo Entertainment System (known colloquially as the NES), the Final Fantasy franchise has been -- and arguably remains -- one of the best-selling franchises in the global gaming industry, with millions of players worldwide excitedly awaiting each new release. This year, after a decade-long wait, fans of the series were treated to the 15th main entry to the series, titled simply (and ironically, considering the franchise's name) as Final Fantasy XV, the first single-player, supposedly true-blood Final Fantasy game to be released since Final Fantasy XIII in 2009 (or even longer, depending on who you ask).

The mustachioed Italian plumber makes iOS debut
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 28/12/2016
» It's been a long time coming, but Mario -- the crimson-clad, mustachioed, Japanese/Nintendo-born Italian plumber -- has finally hopped his way onto smartphones in the form of Super Mario Run, the mushroom-chugging, fireball-flinging coin maniac's debut feature on touch-screen devices. Downloadable for free now on iOS and next year for Android, the game's simplistic touch-based platforming is great, losing none of the precision of control and inventive level design synonymous of Mario games.

Among the thousands of game developers there were Thai company MAD VR Studio, who was there to showcase their first game, a horror game set in a Thai hospital, Araya.

We're all going to the same place, so enjoy your trip
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 28/09/2016
» Right from the beginning, Journey -- the 2012 PS3 exclusive game recently remastered for the PS4 -- drops you into the shoes of the silent traveller, alone in a vast desert, with no context or tutorial of any kind. In the distance, you see a tall mountain topped with a pillar of light, and you instinctively know that is your destination.

Cyber security laws - in flux, but set to flex
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 10/08/2016
» Eight new cyber stability and security bills continue to go through various stages of deliberation. Of particular note to the Thai public are the Cyber Stability and Computer Crimes act, both of which have raised concerns among many activists and watchdog groups who continue to speak out against many specific sections in both bills, which they interpret will potentially allow the government to control civil and privacy rights, and which Life reported on last month.

Thai game developers dream of bigger payday
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 07/09/2016
» To become a video game developer is a dream that has most likely crossed the mind of anyone who enjoyed playing video games as a child. However, very few have ever managed to realise that dream as adults. As such, no one ever expected Thailand to place first at this year's Microsoft Imagine Cup 2016, where the grand prize went to Thailand's team PH21 -- a group of graduates from Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Engineering -- and their mobile game Timelie.

Communication breakdown
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 20/06/2016
» It has been an uncomfortable several months for internet users the Kingdom over, as the government released the drafts of its eight new digital-related bills. The bills immediately became the source of much controversy, as many critics and pundits criticised the new regulations and laws included in the drafts to be a step back into the days before the 1997 media reforms, giving government agencies absolute control over the surveillance, management and oversight of digital data.
