Burnin' up

» In recent years, the Need For Speed franchise has tried to evolve but sadly, change isn't necessarily a comfortable thing for most people. It's the usual challenge of wanting to embrace the new yet keep the familiar things that made it so memorable. Thankfully, Need For Speed: Heat hits the sweet spot of new and classic, reinvigorating the franchise and at the same time bringing gamers familiar with the title back to the good ol' days of NFS.
Apple mania!

» Apple recently released a number of new devices. The most lauded and advertised release may arguably be the latest iteration of its smartphone, the iPhone 11, but it's also got a few other devices that may have slipped under your radar. Thinking of getting one as a Christmas present but unsure whether it's worth your hard-earned cash? We've got a cheat sheet for you.
The apocalyptic delivery guy

» Hideo Kojima's long-awaited game, which has been shrouded in much secrecy, has been out for a good number of weeks now. Back when content was just being teased and trailers were being released, no one had any idea what was going on. Now that the game is out, we finally understand... sort of. A bit. Kinda.
Ghosting around

» Infiltrating enemy lines and leaving without a trace is the signature of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon (or at least that's how it's supposed to be depending on how you play it). Its latest installment, Breakpoint, transports you from its predecessor's drug cartel-run Wildlands to the lush jungles, sandy beaches and urban landscapes of the island of Auroa. Sounds like paradise? Sure -- until bullets start flying.
Beauty but a beast

» Smartphones are now the bane of our existence. We can't go anywhere or do anything without it, and most of us probably start wheezing and choking the minute our phones run out of juice or we realise we forgot it at home -- or worse yet, forgot it somewhere we don't remember. Our need for smartphones is evident in the fact that there is a plethora of smartphones to choose from and the endless stream of new models coming out. And into this stream comes Samsung's Galaxy Note 10+, their latest top-tier model which boasts high specs, high performance and a sleek, elegant design that's a total eye-candy. But new releases are nothing new, and with the lack of innovation smartphones are being plagued with nowadays, is the Galaxy Note 10+ any different?
Nitro-Tastic

» If you missed out on Crash Team Racing aka CTR back on the PS1 then man, you missed a lot. Crash Bandicoot was already an iconic character in the PS1 days and CTR came along and gave us even more fun to be had with Crash and his friends and foes, eventually becoming a beloved title, so much so that until now the debate rages on whether Mario Kart or CTR is the best kart racing game. You have no idea how many hours I've spent playing the kart game either by myself or split-screen with friends (because split-screen was the only way to do multiplayer back then. Dang, I'm old). You can imagine then just how excited I was when they announced CTR: Nitro-Fueled. In the vein of the previously released Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy, this game remasters CTR and brings back to our childhood days. But it's not all just about nostalgia.
The highs and lows of E3 2019

» E3 2019 has come and gone and that means a whole lot of reveals to relive, exciting moments to rewatch and new titles to look forward to. Or does it? I'll reserve judgment on E3 this year as a whole towards the end but here are some highlights and lowlights from 2019's E3 conference.
Better and badder

» Tom Clancy's The Division had a concept that got gamers excited and though the game was generally well-received, it didn't exactly live up to all our expectations. We're learning more and more not to trust so-called "in-game footage" shown at events like E3 anyway. Its sequel, Tom Clancy's The Division 2, promised a more satisfying story and endgame. So did it deliver?

» Samsung, the world's number one smartphone distributor, has yet again expanded its choices for its consumers with the release of the Galaxy S10+ and the Galaxy A50. Released as their new top and mid-tier models respectively, Samsung is keen on keeping its market dominance as well as enticing smartphone buyers -- and perhaps even converting those loyal to other brands -- to give them a try. But will these two new phones compel customers to dish out the cash?
