Some questions stir up a fire of a never-ending debate, and one of them is which is the best video game character. After all, how do you choose only 20 top characters from such a fast-growing industry whose revenues manifests in billions? But these characters are more than profit or fancy rankings. They are our childhood friends, a company in lonely hours, and amusement that can inspire and energize us. Therefore, selecting them is perhaps a more challenging process than beating the Aztec level in GoldenEye 007. Nevertheless, there is nothing more exciting than challenges. They are thrilling adventures and…

Final Fantasy XIV is truly a success story for the ages.

Ubisoft has come under a lot of criticism in recent years for its formulaic open-world map design. In most Ubisoft games, you start off uncovering just a small amount of the map, climbing towers and gradually revealing more of the game’s explorable area.

Far Cry 5 lets players explore its map however they want, and now Riders Republic is taking that lesson to heart once again by offering its entire map for players’…

“Talent borrows, genius steals” is a quote most often attributed to famous wit Oscar Wilde, although he’s had so many quotes attributed to him that it’s hard to know which ones he actually said.

It’s a typically self-deprecating quote (assuming Wilde did actually say it), but it tells us a lot about games like Back 4 Blood as well. So, into which of these two categories…

The Call of Duty series presents an interesting paradox. To an outside observer, the franchise seems merely to tick along, with no particular instalment excelling or causing too much ire. On the other hand, the fanbase is very vocal and very opinionated (as, perhaps, one should expect from any fanbase), with each subsequent Call of Duty game deemed either to have saved the franchise or to have damned it for all eternity. Into which category, then, falls Call of Duty: Vanguard? Sledgehammer Games began work on the Call of Duty franchise in earnest with Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, its…

Nowadays, Big Data is everywhere. The term ‘Big Data’ refers to massive amounts of structured and unstructured data that are so big. Traditional data processing applications can’t handle them.

The definition of Big Data has changed over time; initially, it referred to datasets whose size was beyond the ability of commonly used software tools to capture, store, manage, analyze or visualize (Kleiner et al., 2013).

One of the most significant technological changes in the past few years has been Big Data’s rise to power. According to Gartner, “Big data is high-volume, -velocity and information that require cost-effective, smart types of information processing for more insight and decision making.” Almost everyone involved with technology or business has heard about Big Data–and many have jumped on the bandwagon. The big question, however, is how you should handle all this data. One method uses a traditional database management system (RDBMS), such as MySQL or Oracle Database. The other option is Hadoop, an open-source software framework for distributed storage…
