  Resident Evil Requiem: A New Era of Fear Begins Capcom has officially lifted the veil on Resident Evil Requiem , the ninth mainline entry in the legendary survival horror franchise—and it’s shaping up to be a chilling tribute to everything that came before. Set 30 years after the destruction of Raccoon City , Requiem returns to the birthplace of the outbreak with a fresh perspective and a haunting new protagonist: Grace Ashcroft , an introverted FBI analyst with a sharp mind and a shaky trigger finger. Unlike the battle-hardened heroes of past entries, Grace is vulnerable, reactive, and deeply human—making her journey through the horrors of Raccoon City all the more immersive. Capcom’s RE Engine is once again flexing its muscles, delivering hyper-realistic visuals down to the sweat on Grace’s brow and the natural sway of her hair—modeled using a custom wig, no less. Players can switch between first- and third-person perspectives , allowing for both intimate terror and cinematic...

  In the summer of 2025, what began as a simple message between two old friends turned into a full-circle reflection on culture, movement, music, and gaming. Tips (aka Fernando) reached out to his longtime friend and fellow bboy Frawgy Gunso —a reconnection rooted in the rhythms of high school cyphers and digital camaraderie. A Brotherhood Born in the Breaks Both Tips and Frawgy’s story begins at Michael M. Krop Senior High , where they founded their school’s breakdance club—an idea sparked by passion and made real through community. Those early jams forged a bond that’s kept alive across years, oceans, and game servers. > “We met back in high school and started the break dance club together. That space became the launchpad—for our style, our sound, and our connection through hip hop.” The Interview — 4 Questions, 2 Perspectives To mark the moment, Tips flipped the script and sent Frawgy four simple questions about life, breaking, and what’s fueling them this summer. Here’s wha...

 It’s official: Little Nightmares III is luring us into its most twisted world yet, and this time, we’re not going in alone. During the latest showcase, Bandai Namco unveiled an extended gameplay walkthrough set inside the sinister Carnevale — a decaying amusement park filled with grotesque imagery and silent screams. From the unsettling carousel creaks to the flickering lights that barely mask what’s lurking in the shadows, the atmosphere feels tailor-made to crawl under your skin. Unlike the previous entries, LNIII introduces online co-op — a bold leap that still manages to preserve the series’ signature feeling of isolation. Watching the two protagonists navigate the eerie funfair together was both heartwarming and anxiety-inducing. There’s an unmistakable vulnerability in relying on someone else in a world so devoid of comfort. The character and creature designs continue to deliver in unsettling style. One highlight from the demo: a towering, puppet-like antagonist with an el...

  Origins and Development Released in 2001 for the PlayStation 2, Onimusha: Warlords was Capcom’s bold fusion of samurai action and supernatural horror. Originally conceived for the original PlayStation, the project was shifted to PS2 to take advantage of the new hardware. Directed by Jun Takeuchi and produced by Keiji Inafune, the game was envisioned as “Resident Evil with swords,” featuring fixed camera angles, pre-rendered backgrounds, and puzzle-solving alongside intense melee combat. The protagonist, Samanosuke Akechi, was modeled after actor Takeshi Kaneshiro, adding cinematic flair to the narrative. The story is set during Japan’s Sengoku period and follows Samanosuke’s quest to rescue Princess Yuki from demonic forces aligned with the resurrected warlord Nobunaga Oda. Gameplay and Mechanics Players wield elemental weapons—Raizan (lightning), Enryuu (fire), and Shippuu (wind)—each with unique magic attacks. Defeated enemies release colored souls: red for upgrades, yellow fo...

As a long-time fan of the original Shadowverse , diving into Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond has felt like both a homecoming and a bold new adventure. I’ve clocked 53.8 hours so far on Steam, and every minute has been a thrilling blend of strategy, lore, and beautifully refined mechanics. Currently sitting at rank C1, I’ve fought over 50 ranked matches using my trusty Swordcraft deck. The synergy, the tempo, the sheer satisfaction of landing a perfect curve—it reminds me why I fell in love with this franchise in the first place. Now, with my eyes set on Portalcraft, I’m excited to explore a different kind of challenge: calculated tempo shifts and techy combos that reward creative thinking. One of my favorite new features is Shadowverse Park —a charming, immersive social space where players can unwind, meet others, and really soak in the game's atmosphere outside the battlefield. It’s the kind of unexpected addition that shows how much Cygames values community and creativity, adding fla...

     After years of missed chances, late-night messages, and “we gotta catch up soon” promises, I finally got a chance to sit down and chat with my old friend Kenny. It’s wild to think how long it’s been—ten years since our last real hangout. But the moment we started talking, it felt like no time had passed at all. As always, we ended up diving into what brought us together in the first place: games, memories, and the pure joy of nerding out over turn-based battles and card duels. Me: So, what’s your summer gaming life looking like? Kenny: “I haven’t played much this summer due to work 😞 but when I do, it’s usually the Final Fantasy VII Remake series—I’m trying to go platinum.” Ah, the platinum grind. I know that one well. There’s something special about chasing that final trophy, especially in a game that’s packed with nostalgia. Me: Have you stumbled across any hidden gems or indie surprises this year? Kenny: “Not yet, sadly. So far, I haven’t discovered any ...

  There’s something poetic about turning the tables on zombies with a rocket launcher that never runs out of ammo .

There’s a strange magic in queuing up a lo-fi playlist while grinding through side quests in a JRPG. Maybe it’s the soft synth haze pairing with pixel sunsets, or maybe it’s how both genres create space to dream. Either way, JRPGs and lo-fi aren’t just a vibe—they’re soulmates. A Symphony of Stillness    JRPGs, especially turn-based classics, have long offered contemplative pacing. The looping battles, slow emotional burns, and long, scenic overworld treks invite a sense of introspection—something lo-fi thrives in. Shared Aesthetics and Nostalgia Pixel art and vinyl crackle hit similar emotional frequencies. Whether it’s a lonely NPC staring out to sea or a hip-hop loop crumbling like old tape, both lo-fi and JRPGs lean hard on wistful textures and retro appeal. The Lo-Fi Fan Remix Ecosystem The JRPG x lo-fi overlap has spawned some gorgeous work— Materia Collective ’s remix albums, chill reworks of Persona tracks, and indie beatmakers flipping Secret of Mana themes. 🎧 Mate...

Steam Next Fest is back, bringing a week-long celebration of upcoming games with hundreds of free demos, developer livestreams, and community engagement. It's the perfect opportunity to get hands-on with exciting new titles before their official release. After diving into the demos, I’ve picked my top three favorites that stood out: Vindictus: Defying Fate , Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound , and Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE . Let’s break them down! Vindictus: Defying Fate – A Soulslike Evolution Developed by Nexon , Vindictus: Defying Fate reimagines the classic MMO as a single-player action RPG with Soulslike combat. The demo showcases intense battles , Celtic mythology-inspired enemies, and a gripping narrative. While the graphics and world-building are widely praised, some players found the combat a bit clunky. Still, with over 40,000 players trying the demo, it’s clear that Vindictus: Defying Fate is one of the most talked-about titles of Steam Next Fest. Ninja Gaiden: Ragebo...
