Selamat Hari Raya!

As the period of Ramadan and fasting is ending soon, many of us are happy to celebrate the upcoming festivities that is Hari Raya. And with that comes the part where your relatives come to visit and make merriment. We’re very sure that a number of you want to huddle up and play games together offline.

Here’s the full list of games (and new additions) with offline co-op/versus options you should prep if you want a gaming old time during the holidays!

Tekken 8

Available On: PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series

If your nephews and relatives are more on the competitive side of things, fighting games are the go-to games of choice. Matches go by super fast and everyone can pass the controller around after each bout.

But which fighting game is the best for a party setting? Apart from Super Smash Bros Ultimate, we suggest Tekken 8. It has simple controls, dynamic Heat system mechanics that encourages offensive play (read: button mashing for casual crowd), a colourful cast of characters, and even a “simple input” mode that anyone can switch to on the fly during a match. Plus, Tekken 8 comes with Tekken Ball which is basically volleyball but you use your fists and feet to kick the ball to your opponent’s court for points. With two distinct game modes that’s perfect for a casual crowd, Tekken 8 is worth the current investment for offline Raya fighting fun!

The Best Games To Play On The Xbox And PC Game Pass [Update]

By Timothy Teoh October 02, 2024

Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service featuring a vast library of games for a monthly fee. With a ton of titles available, it’s easy to see why many gamers are excited about it. You’ve heard the news, you’ve seen the reception and numbers, and now it’s available (sort of) in Malaysia.. If you’re considering whether it’s worth it, or if you might regret the decision, we’re here to help you navigate through it.

So, is Game Pass worth the hype? Absolutely! But what should you play once you subscribe for RM15/US$15 a month?

Fret not. We are here to not only recommend you the best games to play, but also which subscriptions are best for you which, let’s be honest; sometimes sounds too good to be true. You’ve probably heard of it on social media or from your friends but never had the chance to delve deeper into it.

So today, allow us to run you through a quick crash course of the Xbox Game Pass: it’s a subscription-based service available on the Xbox and PC. Think Game Pass as Microsoft’s response to the PS Plus. Just like Sony’s offering, as long as your subscription is active, you are able to access – download and play a slew of titles in their library ranging from more recent to older ones. Just several times bigger thanks to its robust library.

Today we are listing a good mix of modern, select-picks and certified classics just waiting for you the second you activate your subscription.

Halo Infinite

Halo Infinite’s multiplayer mode is an excellent entry point for anyone interested in the shooter genre. If players have any love for PvP FPS games, they’ll find plenty to enjoy here. The single-player campaign is also solid. Best of all, it’s available for free on Xbox and PC Game Pass!

Forza Horizon 5

Forza Horizon 5 stands out as the best racing game of 2021 and arguably 2022, free from microtransactions that plague many racing titles. Just race all the courses in this game’s version of Mexico, get cars and Forza credits, and also tear the asphalt and grass while you’re driving on -and through- the countryside. Fun stuff, even for non-racing fans who just want the feeling of driving a fast car or off-road vehicle and faff about.
