Phá Đảo, meaning "Island Blasting" in Vietnamese, is a popular slang term used within the Vietnamese community to signify the completion of video games. The phrase has its origins in the 1980s Konami game Contra, where finishing the game involved destroying an island located in the Pacific. As an homage to the gaming culture in our Editor-in-Chief's homeland, he chose this name for our gaming outlet.

FAQs

  • Previously, our website operated as a hub for news-oriented content, offering a range of articles to our readers. However, in response to shifting audience preferences and our team's resources, we've made significant changes to our content strategy. We've decided to discontinue the daily publication of news articles and instead focus exclusively on delivering high-quality reviews, previews, interviews, and feature content.

    While we've moved away from daily news updates, we're committed to delivering in-depth analysis and entertaining discussions through our reviews, previews, interviews, and other features. We hope to, in the future, have an opportunity to relaunch our gaming news website when the conditions are right.
