Lootboxes Are Not Always Bad But Getting It Right Is The Challenge
Lootboxes are here to stay, so the developers better get them right. In the modern day, we are being presented the worst picture of loot boxes as EA takes the centre stage with Battlefront 2. I totally agree on the fact that EA tries to squeeze each penny of their consumer with each game they release. And in its light, numerous games have been downgraded and condemned. Lootboxes aren’t creat...

Call Of Duty Is A Mess For The First Time Ever
Call of Duty World War II was 2017’s most anticipated game as the series visits its roots amidst the socio-political war. However, that wasn’t the plan since the beginning. “Sledgehammer wanted to make Advanced Warfare 2,” Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg stated.

If you ponder back at the revelation of Xbox One with a Kinect that nobody desired, it was a direct effect of the commercial success of Xbox 360. But on the contrary, I presume that 360 was rather mo...

Indian Gaming And Game Development Culture Is Growing Faster Than You Think
The first gaming company in India, Dhruva Interactive (which would eventually work on games in the Forza and Need For Speed series), was only established in 1997, putting our country a good 25 years behind US and UK. But on the other hand, if you glance at the growth of the industry, it’s staggering. Each subsequent year, the quality of games presented dramatically increases. A notable examp...
