» We are a few weeks into 2022 and I suspect many of us are still trying to grapple with the events of 2021. Heck, some of us may still be dealing with 2020! Time, however, waits for no one. We’re almost to the halfway mark of January (gasp) so we need to prepare ourselves for the rest of the months to come and if you don’t know where to start, Guru has you covered. From fun games that chillax you to getting the living daylights scared out of you to apps that could help your productivity, your health and even your love life, here are a few things to help you get on track.
Playstation dominance
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 01/10/2021
» The console wars have raged on since multiple consoles came on the scene and the question of "which is the best console?" has been asked on forums and argued at gaming conventions for years. It's a question that doesn't really have a definitive answer, but PlayStation definitely had a "drop the mic" moment with their latest PlayStation Showcase.
Free gaming for all
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 02/04/2021
» Let's be real: a gaming hobby is an expensive hobby. If you're on console, you have to shell out money for the latest games, and you might possibly still be one of the people out there waiting to get your hands on a PS5. If you're part of the PC Master Race, you've probably got a list of things you want to buy to improve your already costly PC on top of having to buy games. So to save your wallet from total annihilation and to actually help you afford real food instead of the Mama noodles you stock up on every week, here are a few games that you can play for free. And please, now that you've actually got some money, eat properly, for goodness sake.
The titles of 2021
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 05/03/2021
» We might already be in the third month of the year, but sadly, not a lot of exciting games have been released (except for one which is the first game on this list). The list of interesting titles seems to be slimmer than previous years, probably due to the situation. Nevertheless, these are the titles worth keeping an eye on. Fingers crossed none of them turn out to be the Cyberpunk of 2021.
Night & day
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 25/12/2020
» Almost eight years and three different release dates later, the much-anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 is finally out. There's no doubt that gamers all over the globe have spent hours upon hours in Night City, and perhaps there are those who are still going. However, your experience in this dystopian RPG will be very different depending on what you're playing on -- and when I say "very different", I mean the difference is a deal-breaker.
Crash is back
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 06/11/2020
» It's been long overdue but our favourite Bandicoot has finally returned in Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time. Though we've probably had our fill of nostalgia with the superb N. Sane Trilogy and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, this is the first all-new title in the series in years. The last title released on a console was on the PS2 generation with the likes of the Wii and Xbox 360. To put that into perspective, the PS2 just celebrated its 20th anniversary. It's definitely been a while, but we're all glad to see Crash crashing and dancing and bouncing on our screens once more.
Ready, set, game

» Streaming and e-sports are big nowadays but gaming has been around for years. You've got boardgames, which evolved into something a little more complicated like Dungeons & Dragons. You've got your arcades, which then became consoles and handhelds. Now we have PC gaming that's continuously being pushed to the limit. Like that time Polish hardware retailer x-kom made Doom Eternal run at 1,000 fps by pouring liquid nitrogen into the computer. Even if you just play on your phone during your commute, that pretty much makes you a gamer of sorts. Whether you're just a casual gamer or you live and breathe games, these places in and around the city are gaming havens that are worth a visit. You've got your classic arcade place, which is rare to find in Bangkok, a shop that sells classic games and consoles, and a legit e-sports studio to hone your skills by yourself or with your e-sports team. Buckle up, it's time to game.
Let me entertain you

» Welcome to the nth week of quarantine! The good news is we're still here. The bad news is "here" is getting a little too boring for our tastes. Oh, the joys of being able to café hop along Thong Lor, watch a movie in a cinema or maybe just stroll mindlessly around Siam.
The titles of 2020
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 07/02/2020
» This year's list of upcoming games to be excited for seems a little short but many of these titles look promising. Most are remakes or new entries into established franchises though one stands out as an original and may ironically be the game that all are excited for. I'm not complaining, I'm just glad to see games we can all be excited about. Start saving for these titles!
