Albert Hong

My name is Albert and I have been gaming since I ever got my hands on a Game Boy Color. You could say I am in love with the gaming industry and pretty much anything involving games.

    Where it all began, begins again! I think it’s safe to say that Michel Ancel’s prolific creativity has saved the “charming retro platformer” from a dreary future existence in the vaults of online DLC. Yes, the golden age of gaming has certainly gone but that’s not to say it has to be forgotten; Rayman Origins...

    Before Christmas 2011 – I swore an oath. It was a bold and irreversible move; a risky strategy that defied logic seeing as I’m a games critic. I promised to myself that I would only pick up two Blockbuster titles before Christmas. One of those was the indisputable king of sports games, Fifa 12, and...
