Monstrously addictive

» 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.
Moto loses its mojo

» After last year's delightful Moto Z modular phone, one of the more interesting models in its price-range, it's a wonder why Motorola even bothered to release something like the Moto X4 this year. With middling specs across the board and no real notable feature to talk about, the Moto X4 is yet another mid-range Android phone, one among countless thousands already on the market today.

» Sporting a top-tier GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card, 16GB RAM, 2TB of storage and a new-generation Intel Core-i7 processor, the Omen 17 -- HP's 17-inch flagship gaming laptop -- is a force to be reckoned with.
The mustachioed Italian plumber makes iOS debut

» 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.
Not yet final

» 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).

» 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.

» The words "everything is connected" has never been quite as literal or accurate as at the Amazon Web Services Internet of Things Hack Day, a 12-hour tech marathon that saw teams of skilled programmers from corporations and universities compete to create the most innovative tech solutions or gadgets for everyday problems. The project is part of Amazon's efforts in demonstrating the uses of its new AWS cloud-computing product suite, and was held at the AWS offices in Singapore on April 27.
Wearing your fitness gains

» Fitness trackers are the new smartphones these days, with various tech companies seemingly scrambling over each other to release the dominant fitness wearable. The UP3, called the "most advanced way to track your fitness, sleep and heart health" by creator Jawbone, certainly has all the specs you'd expect from a fitness wearable, though whether that supports Jawbone's lofty claims for its flagship device is doubtful at best.
