In lieu of Blizzard giving some love to rodent-kind with its new hero Hammond/Wrecking Ball, let's look back at video game pop culture's finest rats, squirrels, and critters all categorized as rodents. Note: Bandicoots, opossums, and hedgehogs are not rodents. Sorry Crash, Sparkster, and Sonic. Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel Originally a foil to ...
It looks like the arachnid is out of the bag. Tom Holland has done it again, this time "accidentally" revealing the title for the next Spider-Man movie on Instagram. The sequel to 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming will be Spider-Man: Far From Home, according to the script Holland holds in his hands. It has also been officially confirmed by Marvel Studi...

Take it away, Leonard! [youtube https://www.youtube.com/w...
It's the World Cup all over again with countries earning honour and glory by kicking balls into goals and getting paid mad monies for it. Meanwhile, the artistically-savvy are portraying their love for the global sport the only way how: through the medium of anime and manga. Granted, these artworks comprise of anime women of loli/tsundere nature i...
This feature is still in development. 7/5/2018: Combo videos & tech videos below. The 2D fighting game Fighting EX Layer is out on PS4 right now. Go get it now if you're into old-school fighting games. We have a video that sums up the game. https://www.facebook.com/kakuchopurei/videos/1459609614143449/ So we talked casually about the Gougi ...
With E3 2018 done and gone a few weeks ago, we can all be assured that the rest of 2018 and the earlier parts of 2019, especially 22 February of next year, will be chock-filled with gaming titles aplenty. But what about the games that are MIA? Not to say that we aren't impressed with the diverse lineup of games we have, but we are curious about so...
When a franchise is under a new wing -in this case, it's the Hitman series now distributed under Warner Bros. - it's time to start anew. What's the best way to do that after telling everyone that it's ditching the episodic model that obviously worked in favour of a single-player story that people are on the fence about? Why with a free arcade-style...
Huge changes dropped for Overwatch yesterday, most notably Symmetra's full kit overhaul as well as several other heroes' Ultimate rework. For those who missed out on what was discussed, you can get yourself up to speed with these meta-shifting changes here. Speaking of the meta, here's a quick overview on how we think these reworks are going to...
So earlier today, we ran a news article confirming that after a successful event in Kuala Lumpur last year, PlayStation Experience is returning to Southeast Asia in 2018. However, not much was revealed apart from the teaser posted on PlayStation Asia's Facebook page. No dates, no additional info, no location, the non-works. While we shared our wis...
It's good to know that retro gaming will never die. There are so many man-made consoles out there that people don't know what to do with them. Luckily we have places in Japan like Super Potato and the corners of Akihabara to get your retro gaming collection fix. But what if you can't go to Japan right now and are in Singapore? Luckily, I've found ...
You've seen the news and coverage about the big titles of E3 like that one Halo Infinite game and that one action game with Nero and his mechanical arm. But what about the smaller indie titles or the quirky games that were on the show floor? We're going to miss out on a lot of them; it happens, right? Have no fear: we've got that sorted for you. H...
Meet Jonne "Lyonaris" Lyonne and Alex "Angelican" Wong. They are but a few of the guys who help organize and flourish the Super Smash Bros. community in Singapore. They are also pretty good at the game and are training younger players to be better than them at the fighting game. In case you didn't know, Super Smash Bros. is a pretty big deal in th...
As we said before, E3 2018 is over and done with, and yet we have some loose ends to tie up. Namely, which games are coming out this year and the next? It's easy to lose track and assume that everything showed off last week is all slated for 2019. And you're half-right. Don't worry; let your good pals at Kakuchopurei sort it out for your reading c...
Let us go back to the way-back-when machine, during the early and late 2000s. Before From Software became synonymous with Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and "goddamn tough-but-fair JRPGs with so much goth & despair", they used to make a ton of action games. https://youtu.be/MfPmRnheQKY?t=14m31s Action games with mythical Japanese warriors? Otogi and...
After that bombastic last-minute reveal of CD Projekt Red's sci-fi techno opus during the Microsoft Xbox press conference, we were all ready to proclaim Cyberpunk 2077 as "Witcher 3 but sci-fi, fast cars, and androids". We might have been premature with our claims, but we were half-right: it's an RPG where you control a mercenary named V who takes...
Figured I get this out of the way: before I started contributing to good ol' Kakuchopurei, I played a LOT of Assassin's Creed Origins and its two expansions. I dug the RPG aspects of it, its charismatic protagonists Bayek and Aya, the ancient Egyptian setting during Ptolemy's rule, and the second expansion's foray into the afterlife -giant scorpion...
When Devil May Cry 4 (DMC4) burst onto the scene, it introduced a new character that people believed is a legit successor to Dante. Of course, many predicted correctly that the silver hair brawler is related to the original devil hunter. However, most couldn't guess properly how Nero is related to the Dante. In fact, this trailer – not t...
Between 1996 to 1998, the Capcom team comprising of producer Shinji Mikami, director Hideki Kamiya, and 50 others alongside professional scriptwriter Noboru Sugimura created a sequel to Resident Evil/Biohazard. Against all odds like a development overhaul, the game managed to supercede the original because it surpasses its ambitions. https://www.y...
When Ghost of Tsushima was first unveiled at Paris Game Week, the response was sort of tampered within the gaming scene perplexed with why Sucker Punch, well known for their flashy, neon-filled open-world franchise, Infamous would attempt at such a little-known period, feudal Japan during the Mongol invasion circa late 1200s. Prior to today's prese...
After several 'appetizer' pressers these past few days, it's finally turn for the big one, the one we've all been waiting for; Sony PlayStation's E3 2018 Press Conference. While you might be wondering what makes them so intriguing compared to other E3 conferences? The answer is simple; Sony have more often than not delivered the goods at their E3 p...
