    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.

    No dizzying heights

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 11/08/2017

    » The Dark Tower had every reason to be good. It's an adaptation of a renowned series of novels by Stephen King. It features Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey in leading roles. It's also directed (and scripted) by the man who wrote the 2009 Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, as well as 2012's A Royal Affair, both stellar films.

    Life, death and rebirth

    » As any honest Thai person can tell you, Bangkok is a city of dualities. Walk down one street and you'll find the most serene parks, bombastic high-rises and venerable temples. Turn down the wrong soi, however, and you're suddenly in a seedy alleyway filled with drugs, alcohol and questionable "massage parlours".

    Learning the rules of the game

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 30/09/2015

    » Trent Kusters was playing Red Dead Redemption when he came upon a moment that he will never forget. In the 2010 adventure game (released for the PS3 and Xbox360), a group of abominable snowmen have been abducting and eating children, much to the horror of the locals. So when he came across one in the vast wild-west setting of the game, Kusters knew exactly what to do.

    With a promise of fun, Suicide Squad is a near-suicide

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 05/08/2016

    » For the first 30 minutes or so of its two-hour duration, Suicide Squad genuinely reminded me of the zany, outlandish humour of Marvel's Deadpool and Guardians Of The Galaxy, even if, ultimately, this one is not remotely as good. With zany, self-aware text introductions, a largely 80s-inspired soundtrack, excellent costume designs and enough one-liners to fill a book, Suicide Squad's first act was a fun, neon-splashed ride that made me believe DC's supervillain team-up would -- ironically -- be the comic label's first good film. This all dissolves by the second act, however, as the film begins to disintegrate into predictable, by-the-numbers story complete, with all the pitfalls that held back its predecessors, becoming yet another mediocre entry in DC's cinematic franchise.

    Dawn of a gaming dream

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 01/03/2017

    » Much as it is with movies, it's increasingly rare these days for a wholly original video game -- one that's not a sequel, prequel, spin-off or remake/remastering of an existing game -- to find recognition in a market overflowing with familiar, tried-and-true rehashes of popular products. Horizon Zero Dawn, the latest Action-RPG from PlayStation-exclusive developer Guerrilla Games, is one such rarity, a wholly original game that deserves the highest praise for its gorgeous, meticulously-realised world and ambitious story, dealing with such themes as creation and artificial intelligence, even if much of its gameplay is admittedly derivative of many open-world games before it.

    Perfectly impractical

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 20/01/2016

    » When it comes to smartphones, Sony is hardly considered among the "big boys" of the industry like Samsung or Apple. Approaching Sony's latest flagship smartphone, the Xperia Z5 Premium, I was sceptical at first. While the newest model in Sony's Xperia line proves to be a huge step in the right direction -- with an impressive 23MP back camera, 5.5-inch 4K resolution display and even workable water, plus fall-proof technology -- there are still plenty of caveats to the device that holds it back from standing toe-to-toe with the likes of Samsung's Galaxy S line or Apple's iPhones, despite the similar price tag.

    Facet

    Muse, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 28/11/2015

    » Travelling is all the rage these days. Everyone seems to be overseas all the time, “broadening their horizons” as they say. And who could blame them? Whether it be wondrous natural locales or little-known local restaurants, there is always something new waiting to be discovered. You just need to know where to look.
