Although this list has practically no end, today we’ll sum up 5 of the most bizarre controversial gaming opinions. Video games promote terrori...
The Real Cost Of Modern Video Games Is Way More Than You Thought
If I ask you the standard cost of a newly released triple-A title, what would be your answer? (The pirates here be like “WTF is the ‘cost'”? Pirate4life!!). If your answer is $60 (4000 Rupees, rounded off), which is already quite a lot, then I pity you, you innocent bird. Well, on the base of it, you aren’t exactly wrong. You can get the base game, or as I like to call it &...
What Do Gamers Want From The Next Assassin’s Creed?
The latest instalment in the Creed series, Assassin’s Creed Origins, has surpassed all our expectations and won our hearts. The ancient Egyptian setting took the players back to the most primal days of the Creed and fixed pretty much everything a gamer had to complain about with the in-depth RPG elements, a beautifully vast open world and a challenging combat. According to the popular specul...
Can Open World Games Be “Too Open”?
A pretty open world game is the desire of each and every gamer out there. A game where nobody is bossing around you to tell you what to do. Instead, you can roam the vast and pretty world on your own doing whatever you want. But sometimes a question arises- Can Open World Games Be “Too Open”? There is no certain answer to this question, but it varies from person to person. For some peo...
Microsoft Talks About The Future Of The Fable Series
The closure of Lionhead Studios, the creators behind the famous (and my personal favourite) Fable series, brought dismay to the hearts of gamers alike. Microsoft shut down the studio earlier in 2016 when it was on the verge of releasing Fable Legends, an action RPG where you could play as the hero or the villain. It does not seem likely that there would be another mainline Fable title in the futur...

In quite a shocking turn of events, AMD’s RX Vega 64 manages to outpace NVIDIA’s GTX 1080 Ti by up to 23% in the upcoming DirectX 12 ready Forza 7. I wouldn’t believe it too if you told me.

Ever Wondered What Video Games Look Like When They Are Unfinished?
Ever wonder what those graphical masterpieces of a game such as Uncharted 4 or Titanfall look like when they’re in production? SPOILER ALERT- it isn’t beautiful. During production on a video game, level designers work with what they call “grey boxes,” or rough layouts that use ugly geometric models to determine the outlines of each level before they make everything pretty. If you wonde...
Should Video Games Allow Players To Skip Boss Fights?
Ubisoft made a fascinating announcement this week. They revealed that the latest Assassin’s Creed [official site] is to add a “Discovery Tour” mode, removing all the combat and challenges from the game, to let players just freely experience their in-depth recreation of Ancient Egypt. It’s fascinating, to me, because it’s a big deal. And goodness me, it shouldn’t be a big deal. Because games should...
Tencent Is One Of The Biggest Video Game Companies You Probably Never Heard About
What comes to your mind when you think of huge video game companies? EA, Valve and Sony must be first that occupy that place in your mind.

Founded on 11th November 1998 in Shenzhen Guangdong, China, the company wasn’t able to generate profit for the first th...

Why Is There Such Rampant Piracy Among Gamers In India?
The Video Game Culture has grown significantly in India over the past couple of decades. In fact, India houses thousands of gamers among its diverse population. Strangely, even after housing such a large number of gamers, it isn’t a significant market for game developers and hence, they do not focus on the needs and requirements of the Indian market. The reason, you ask? ‘Piracy’. If you’re ...
