Taking on the Best of 2014 in Video Games

2014 has been an ecstatic year for video games, as today's next-generation consoles PlayStation 4 and Xbox One has shown their best gaming lineup suitable for everyone while those who use mobile devices were thrilled for the games released for several mobile operating systems, more particularly on Google's Android and Apple's iOS.

But I would like to take this time to have my own take on the three games that make 2014 an exciting year in the gaming industry. I am talking about the PS4 version of Grand Theft Auto V, Super Smash Brothers for the Nintendo Wii U, and the breakthrough game Destiny.

There are Two Assassin's Creed!! Why?

The Assassin's Creed series has become one of the most popular installments in video game history today. But I am confused with the fact that there are two of these released on the same date in North America. Then I found out the truth about them.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 Video Review

The Pro Evolution Soccer returns with its fourteenth edition, Pro Evolution Soccer 2015. Released for all next generation consoles available, this football simulation game features the best teams in the world of football and many modes that you can expect from the game, even the so-called International Cup. Wait, why does PES 2015 has an International Cup? This is because it is the only football game that does not have the World Cup license (SPOILER: EA has.)

2014 ABS-CBN Christmas Station ID Review

ABS-CBN has been traditionally showing their own Christmas station IDs through the years since the beginning of the new millennium. And as you know, every station ID that is always aired during the holidays has a theme. For this year, it is all about thanksgiving. I would like to share to you what you want to know about the 2014 ABS-CBN Christmas station ID, as well as my own thoughts about it.

Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire Goes Omega and Alpha

Another classic Pokemon game has just been reborn for today's generation of younger gamers. And its name is Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire for the Nintendo 3DS.

I was surprised when Ubisoft released Just Dance exclusively for Android smartphones and tablets and Apple mobile devices last September, which is known as Just Dance Now. I cannot believe that mobile phone users will now have the chance to experience the way of playing the most popular dance game franchise today. Indeed, the Just Dance series has been making waves in the gaming industry since its first release for only the Nintendo Wii back in 2008. It kind of reminded me of another popular dance game back then, Dance Dance Revolution.

The Best of Sega Dreamcast, Now on Mobile Devices

Crazy Taxi, one of Sega's popular arcade games, and Namco's sword-based fighting game Soulcalibur were some of the best games released for the Sega Dreamcast when the console was first made availabe in 1999. In fact, they are still considered as two of the finest franchises in video game history. Today, we will reminisce playing these games, as Crazy Taxi and Soulcalibur are now available for today's generation of mobile devices, more particularly on Android smartphones and tablets. This is one way for gamers having their own smartphone to relive the joy of playing them.

The Smash is Back!! A Remembrance with 3DS Video Review

If you think that the fact of engaging your favorite video game characters in battle against each other in one ring is just a figment of our imagination, then you are absolutely wrong. In fact, there is only one video game series that is capable of turning this so-called figment of imagination into reality. And that would be Super Smash Brothers.

A few months ago, I have read an article on a Filipino tabloid about the video game Disney Infinity: Marvel Superheroes. I was surprised to find out that the sequel to the successful Disney Infinity game will be featuring superheroes from the Marvel universe. I thought at first it will be a big joke, but when the game was released, I found it to be an amazing game to try out.

Zelda Meets Dynasty Warriors With Style!!

It is an evident fact that Nintendo's Legend of Zelda series has truly become one of the best and well-loved series in the history of video games. In fact, it is the first series that fully introduced the action-adventure genre in the world of video games since its original release for the Nintendo Entertainment System back in 1986. But, what if we take the Zelda universe out-of-the-box and complement it with another video game genre? What if we introduce the series to a different environment that has never seen in its history? This is where Hyrule Warriors comes in.
