What is it about?
A puzzle where you combine for small block that comes with added sound and effects 

What I liked?
- This game is pretty straight forward. You drop the blocks, it disappear. Rinse and repeat. Every time the background music, theme and blocks will change
- Getting more than 9 block combo is awesome 
- There are shuffle blocks which helps in the last minutes when you are stuck. 
- Voyage mode is awesome. 
What I didn't liked?
-  Some stages are faster and some stages are slower. Really makes playing a challenge 

Status: Finish voyage mode. 

Fun Factor: A great puzzle game that can be picked up and played

What is it about?
You play as the hero of time trying to save Hyrule Kingdom from the evil Ganon.

What I liked?
- The puzzles look interesting enough 
- There are plenty to do in Hyrule 
- The map is small but it connects everything through out the adventure 
- Ocarina playing is great. 

What I didn't liked?
- The game does not give you hints, but most of it is trial by error. You need to complete a certain sequence in order to get to the next set of objectives
- The controls are clunky but during 98 that was considered revolutionary 
- I find that the game is boring in a sense there a lot of repetition in quests. 
- Camera is not that good so aiming its a chore

Status: Played around hours of the game. Still in Young Link mode

Fun Factor: If you can stand clunky controls. It's a masterpiece in its time but it takes a good deal of patience to play it now

Paskal

This been my first Malay movie since ages

Paskal: The Movie (2018)

What is it about?
The story about the elite navy special forces team and how their lives effect their sacrifice for their country

The Good
The movie feels like it was directed like a Hollywood action blockbuster
The action is non stop and action pack
They downtime scene are ample enough that it doesn't feel to draggy
The training scene looks to real

The Bad
Some of the dialogue sounds not to real when it is spoken to
Acting is a mixed bag between professional and cringe-y 

The Ugly
Nothing

After Credits: No

Verdict: A great watch for a local movie. It give's you a sense of honor of being of Malaysian

What is it about?
Directly after the events of the the first Metroid. Play as Samus Aran, bounty hunter determine to stop everyone from getting 

What I liked?
- Exploring planet Zebes is awesome. The difference about Metroid and Castlevania is their world map shows where is the opening. Metroid games just show a block and you need to explore the whole are yourself.
- The game slowly gets you started with minimal weapons and you slowly build up your arsenal by finding upgrades from rooms and hidden walls.
- 8 way directional shooting makes more precision in shooting enemies but the enemies move all around means getting a clear shot sometimes proves difficult. 
- Each bosses have certain hit points to destroy them makes fighting them fun and exciting 
- The final boss is awesome. There are no text in the game but it manage to convey a very good ending 

What I didn't liked?
- Getting lost... This game doesn't have a waypoint system. You'll end up going in circles finding what you need to do until it hits you where should you be going.
- Wall jumping.. Oh my god wall jumping sucks. I have no idea how those people does the speed running for this game. It requires a lot of precision and patience 

Status: Finish the game in 7 hours 11 minutes and 66% complete

Fun Factor: It is one of the best Metroid games I've played. Worth to be played at least once

- The deathstroke fight is cool
- Ending in the prison is reminds of the first Akrham Asylum
