In 2018, the title of best mobile camera belongs to the Pixel 3. Google unveiled the device at an October event and though a lot of the initial talk was centered around its polarizing notch, all the attention is now focused on the fantastic camera. It consists of only one 12MP shooter in a sea of dual and triple camera systems. And to be honest, it’s not missing out on much. Google...
The Ford Mustang is the king of muscle cars. Its long and storied legacy spans nearly 60 years, with its introduction in 1963 ushering in the era of powerful long-hooded coupes. Ford is very aware of the Mustang’s heritage, which is why the 2018 Ford Mustang adds one thing that you can never get enough of: power. The 2018 Ford Mustang updates the 2015 model that brought along a major...
Justice League is a movie that, from end to end, is at odds with itself. It calls out themes but doesn't embody them. It moves like a flash in some parts (sorry, had to say it) but is a slog in others. The characters are a blast, but the story is a snooze. There are flashes of brightness, but the movie is still trying to snuff them under a blanket of oppressive darkness. There's good to...
Ever since the days of the original Nintendo Entertainment System, the world of game consoles has operated on a pretty steady rhythm. Every four to six years, a new console hits the market, and it does backflips over the previous generation. Developers find ways to milk every ounce of power out of the current systems right up until that new system is out. The systems look wildly...
As has become tradition, I took a swing through Akihabara during my annual sojourn to Tokyo Game Show to take a boat-load of pictures for you to enjoy. The neighborhood has changed a lot, and a number of tourists and tourist traps have increased nearly ten-fold over the five years I’ve been going there. However, one thing that hasn’t changed is the selection of goods you can buy. Video...
Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is already proving to be a valuable investment for Square Enix. The game has been on the market for a week, and it topped the UK sales charts as the best-selling game of the week. Of course, the competition wasn’t exactly up to speed with hot, new releases. July is often drier than the deserts of Ivalice, but the game did top Call of Duty: Infinite...
Square Enix released a whole batch of new screenshots this week for Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, and when I see images of its story and characters, all I can think of is Star Wars anymore. Granted, the series, in general, has never exactly been shy about its fandom towards a galaxy far, far away, going all the way to the point where at least two characters named Biggs and Wedge...
Factor 5 founder and former President Julian Eggebrecht is dropping hints that his long-lost studio might be back in business. The Rogue Squadron developer shut down in 2008 due to financial problems and the critical failure of its motion game, Lair, but hints in a new German interview suggest that Factor 5 is back from the dead. NeoGAF users translated the interview with Eggebrecht,...
Nintendo is all about promoting its latest critical darling, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. If you haven’t heard yet, it’s pretty good, and Nintendo wants as many people to know this as possible. A strong Zelda game can only be good for Switch sales. Not only is the game getting plenty of positive press from those who have played it, but the story of how it was made is...
LG announced the G6 during a press conference at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona yesterday. Wondering how it stacks up against last year’s LG G5? There are some big changes. It’s water resistant, for one. It also has a screen that nearly runs edge-to-edge, cutting off some of the bulk on the top and bottom bezels, too. LG switched things up, though. The LG G6 no longer has a focus...
