‘Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle’ Review: Why Does It Work?
Nobody asked for this. Seriously, that’s what we all thought when the first images of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle first leaked well ahead of the E3 announcement. It was weird and screamed “horrible cash grab and everything wrong with gaming, period.” Everyone was angry at Ubisoft for creating an abomination and at Nintendo for…

The Lapsed Gamer: Games I’m Looking Forward to Playing this 2017
Last time, I walked you through the stuff I’m currently playing. But then I am trying to catch up on a lot of games. So this means I might need to cram in as many games as possible before the year ends, to the detriment of my wallet’s well-being. Here are some of the upcoming…

‘ARMS’ Review: Punching its Way into the Spotlight
ARMS is Nintendo’s take on fighting games, featuring a weird and diverse cast of characters whose arms can stretch so they can beat each other up. It also turns the fighting game formula on its head – instead of viewing the fights from the side, we are now given an over the shoulder perspective. ARMS…

‘S-Town’ Review: A Mystery Wrapped in Another Mystery Neatly Tied Up in a Bow of Melancholy
It all started with the promise of another murder mystery to dissect. I’ve longed for another true crime podcast to binge since Serial season one ended.

Waiting for Sam: ‘A Normal Lost Phone’ Review
A few weeks ago, I reviewed SIM – Sara is Missing, where you find a lost phone and look for the owner. As the game happens in the phone’s UI, you’re essentially using the missing phone, and it takes a different augmented reality approach to immerse you in the game. Turns out that this approach has…

Losing Weight… With Technology!
If you’ve been following my blog for a while now, you would notice a couple of things: I used to write really cringe-worthy stuff, because I was under the delusion that edginess is comedy. Also, for years, I struggled with a losing battle against the weight gain that seems to be standard fare for a…
