A Viewpoint

    When I had played the first Dishonored more than a decade ago, it didn't took me long to realize that it was the single greatest Videogame I had played up to that point. I had also written a detailed review of the game describing why it was a Masterpiece in terms of all the metrics of Videogame designs, and still continues to be. Which means if you play the first one even in 2024, it'll blow you away all the same.    And while I couldn't get my hands on Dishonored 2 when it came out back in 2016, I finally got around to several weeks ago and after playing through the game in it's entirety for multiple playthroughs (with both playable characters), it was abundantly clear to me that it managed to evolve and improve on it's predecessor in every single gameplay aspect...just as a great sequel should. In fact, looking at the sheer number of ways developer Arkane has managed to expand on the gameplay of the first one, Dishonored 2 can be rightfully said as one of the

    One of the things that I truly admire about Bioware as a developer is that they always try to evolve and re-invent their gameplay in each subsequent entries and whereas other developers are more or less content with only adding minor changes to their previously established moulds, Bioware goes all out to overhaul and improve all of the core mechanics' in the most fundamental of ways. And while it's indeed a gamble that does have a hit-or-miss effect in their games, I personally can't help but respect Bioware's evolutionary approach towards gameplay which aims to elevate not just the game itself but the entire genre as a whole.   And while their last entry in the Dragon Age series of games is one of the few titles that actually suffered from this attempt at re-invention, the upcoming Dragon Age Veilguard seems to get this right again in the most optimistic ways possible. Yes I'm mainly talking about the combat which is where Dragon Age: Inquisition had faltered t

      Disclaimer: Mild Spoilers.   Like most things that go on for a really long time, the Marvel Cinematic Universe too, has it's share of missteps and low points that came mostly after the post-Endgame era (with notable exceptions being No Way Home and Shang Chi). But even in those films that have largely missed what they were going for, they still had the distinct-MCU flavor and charm somewhere in them and though they turned out to be largely forgettable, they still felt like a toned down version of the same great MCU that had sparked the joy of Superhero films Worldwide for more than a decade.  But it all changes with Deadpool and Wolverine, the latest entry in Marvel's billion dollar juggernaut franchise and it represents basically everything that's wrong about a movie factory that prioritizes franchise machinations than just making an earnest and memorable film which honors it's source materials while still taking things to exciting new territories. And Deadpool

      Time is the ultimate yardstick for everything that exists which means something is truly and unquestioningly great when it can stand the test of time. And even in the rapidly evolving World of Videogame Visuals, there are three games that still stand out as some of the most graphically rich experiences even after close to a decade of their release, thereby proving that if made with enough Love and Care, some things can indeed transcend time. So without further ado, here are the timeless looking Videogames that hasn't aged at all and can still look better than most games released even in 2024.    Oh and instead of writing in lengths about how phenomenal their visuals are, I'll just post lots of in-game screenshots and let the images do all the talking. After all, a picture speaks a thousand words.   However, before we get to the top 3, there's one game that deserves a spot in this list cause of how well it continues to look despite it's age and the fact that it can

  Ever since Crysis came out back in 2007, I've been an ardent fan of the game and later on, the entire series as a whole. The first Crysis was nothing like I had ever seen and offered a level of gameplay freedom and dynamics that haven't really been surpassed in the first person shooter genre ever (seriously)----from fully emergent and empowering moment-to-moment gameplay to the unprecedented level of interaction and possibilities it handed the player at any given point, Crysis is a timeless and genre-redefining experience that still stands out in a league of it's own even after more than 15 years of it's release.   And after the news came out that the inevitable sequel of Crysis is coming out in 2011, it instantly became one of the most hyped games for me and I remember reading every little nugget of development news and information that I could find on the game back then. And looking back after all these years, Crysis 2 still remains one of the most anticipated games

    The reason there have been so many Dragonball games over the years and yet very few actual decent ones, is that most of those games have completely missed the point of a DB game, on what a game based on the iconic franchise should really be all about. Instead they experimented with different blend of genres to mixed results like how the relatively successful Xenoverse series had tried to merge the usual combat mechanics of a fighting game with the progression system typically found in a Role Playing Game, or how the more faithful Kakarot aimed to be a full blown Dragonball simulator instead. But in between all of that, they largely missed the core of what a Dragonball game is supposed to be about--and that's one of the reasons why the upcoming Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero could turn out to be one of the greatest games in the history of the series.   Cause unlike those previous games, Dragonball: Sparking Zero seems to understand what truly makes a great DB game and more import
