News & Reviews:   video games

Are you still doing some last-minute Christmas shopping? If you're a gamer, now's a good time to do it because the year-end holiday game sales are back. As usual, you can expect discounts for big studio AAA and indie titles from Steam and PlayStation.

From time to time, you would still have people telling you playing games is a waste of time and bad for your brain. However, a recent study from the University of Oxford says otherwise, saying that there's no relation between the amount of time gaming and a person's mental health. 

Video games are expensive these days, especially AAA titles from big publishers. That's why most people wait for sales periods, which could be the only chance you can get these games at a more affordable price. The good news is the next Steam Summer Sale is just around the corner.

For years, some fans have wondered if Nintendo had any intention of making a successor to its Switch console. The company has denied claims of a 4K-capable Switch Pro, but it looks like a successor is being considered. At the least, sources claim that there's proof of this.

At CES 2022, companies don't just unveil upcoming products. It's also common to see some prototypes or concept technologies at the event. For this year, Alienware has something that's targeted at games streaming. The company calls it Concept Nyx.

It's almost Black Friday and companies around the world have begun announcing sales. This means that the season that (most) PC gamers fear is also back - Steam sales. That's right, the Steam Autumn Sale 2021 is upon us so hold on to your wallets (or don't, lol).

In this modern age, remaking and remastering video games of the past is certainly a trend. While there are hits and misses, the latest news about three classic Grand Theft Auto (GTA) remastered games are coming sooner than we thought.

As mentioned in our wholesome gaming news of 2020, the Epic Games Store has been giving away free video games throughout this year for people to cope with the pandemic. The Holiday Sale has already begun as well as another batch of free video games which started last week.

As young working adults, playing video games is not something that we can do on-the-go most of the time due to other activities. So in honour of Video Games Day (Google it), we decided to look back at the video games that we finally managed to play throughout the past few months. From old ones to recently released, here are the best (and worst) games that we've played while staying at home.
