Super Puzzle Fighter Announced for Mobile

As a kid, I never was into puzzle games, mostly because my young brain wasn’t patient enough to handle the complexity of the puzzles even if it’s a simple puzzle game. One day hanging out a relative’s house, I saw one of my cousins playing something that seemed like a puzzle game but there was one difference – there were cartoon versions of my favorite fighting game, Street Fighter.

Watching these known characters battle while doing a Tetris-like puzzle was mind-blowing for a 7 or 8-year-old to comprehend. Though I never liked puzzle games, the fighting was a distraction. This game was the first game that made me thought that two games can work amazingly well as a single game.

That was 15 years ago, now its 2017 and Capcom is releasing a new Puzzle Fighter game on iOS and Android later this year. Capcom released two trailers showing some of the characters in action. Among those are Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, even Megaman, and other Capcom properties. From the trailer, it seems like players will battle head-to-head in real-time with characters you unlock. The characters are depicted through cards – the more you play the more rewards you’ll be able to earn whether that be costumes, coins, etc. Also, for the hardcore fans – there are leaderboards for those who want to rise to the top.

Destiny 2’s New “Gambit” Mode Revived the Game’s Competitive Scene

Destiny 2’s competitive scene has always been a second thought compared to the co-op PvE activities. At the launch of Destiny 2 Bungie tried a different more team-play orientated approach with an all 4v4 pvp match-up. Over time players got tired of that formula, especially, the way players were strategizing. The only way to be competitive is to team-shot a player at long distance, this was the only way everyone played. This kept the matches long and stale. Bungie understood the frustration and decided that they will change something about the Crucible (PvP). In July, Bungie pushed an update that changed the 4v4 format for Crucible to a 6v6, just how it was like in Destiny 1. Adding two more players on a team might not seem like a big change, but it completely changes how freely your team can strategize, this is especially true with solo matchmaking. Bungie knocked it out of the park with this change, of course they had a lot of help from the community. The community wanted th...

The Calming, out of this World Experience from Tetris Effect is a Great Change of Pace and Emotion from Other Tetris games

Ahh, Tetris. A game that your parents and almost every other parent knows. The longevity of it has made it evolve over its existents with the “hold” mechanic – which I’ve grown up with -- and doubling down on the competitive nature of Tetris with Tetris Battle, Tetris DS, Puyo Puyo Tetris, and more. Growing up I was terrible at Tetris – making lines with falling blocks was simple enough, but I didn’t understand how to fix my mistakes. There are many insane Tetris players that I can’t even think about competing with. The stress of trying to keep the best layout of blocks while trying to keep up with my opponent is too intense for my taste. However, Tetris Effect is the total opposite of all those competitive Tetris incarnations. The way Enhanced Games and Mizuguchi plays with music and players emotions to then incorporate it into a puzzle game or even something like Rez: Infinite can give old concepts like Tetris a new breath life. Everything in Tetris Effect is amplified by x...

Final Fantasy 14’s Beautiful and Interesting Landscapes

Final Fantasy as a series – has always had incredible graphics from character models to vistas and landscapes. This day in age graphics aren’t as important as they use to be, but boy there have been some amazing sights only videogames can create . Final Fantasy 14 might not be the best looking Final Fantasy , but it is the best looking MMO. I’ve been playing for two weeks now and over that time I got time to explore FF14 ’s latest expansion Stormblood. I’m going to show pictures of all the landscapes and vistas I loved, while giving some lore bits with some photos. Baelsar’s Wall Here we see Baelsar’s Wall. A wall built under the late conqueror Gaius van Baelsar dividing Eorzea and Ala Mhigo. The wall was built to keep primals (summons) out of Ala Mhigo and other Garlean territories. Eorzea has primals because aether cyrstals are more prominent, and for four years we’ve been fighting them to save Eorzea. Now, we head to the east to liberate Ala Mhigo and Doma. S...
