Disclaimer: this article may be considered non-kosher to some, so read with care and with an open mind.  Happy Chinese New Year, everybody! The Year of the Dog has come and gone; now it's the Year of the Pig. While many believe pigs to be nothing more than ever-hungry greedy and lazy mofos, nothing could be furthe

In case you couldn't tell from the Kakuchopurei Instagram page (yes we have that, please follow us kthanxbai), I was down in Tokyo for the JAEPO 2019 game festival arcade esports extravaganza. And there are tons to do if you love games, arcade games, cosplay, anime, and the culture. Like, a TON. There's a number of ar

Platform: PS4, Xbox One, PC Genre: Arcade Flight Simulator, Action, Vehicular Combat Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown brings back a genre long-lost in the steady stream of mindless battle royales and MOBAs saturating the market; the arcade flight sim. It's been a whopping 12 years since the last major numbered entry in A

Many of you are wondering about Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding game, a title which features babies powering folks like Mads Mikkelsen, stealth, and probably some courier work. I'm just as lost as most of you, in other words. Thank goodness there's some development going on with the title, as Hideo Kojima visited Killz

Back in 2014, a horror game demo called P.T made its way onto the PlayStation Store for all to play and experience. It was fun. And the best part? Once you solve the demo's puzzle, you get to see a full-blown teaser to a new Silent Hill game directed by Metal Gear's Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro, the latter being

Remember the Game Awards with former Game Trailers host and Hideo Kojima best bud Geoff Keighley? Well, his annual Game Awards show's making this year's round on 6 December. This time, the show boasts the following: It'll be live-streamed on 40 global video platforms on the date. It will feature the "largest lineup

Today, as god is my witness, I have seen & played the unthinkable. I have seen a retro game revival that is the complete opposite and bastardization of what a series stands for. I have experienced a betrayal so foul to a franchise that is just as heinous as X-COM turning into a third-person shooter. In fact, the c

According to a GameSpot report during Tokyo Game Show 2018, players can pay real-world money to purchase the series' in-game currency, red orbs. Much like halos in Bayonetta, red or

This feature is still being updated... It's that time of year again in Japan where every video game company in the country shows off their latest games, be it for consoles or for mobile. While TGS has been dominated by mobile games year in and year out, the spectacle of the event has yet to diminish. Thankfully in th

In a perfect world, I would be writing a glowing review about the new Predator movie that's out this week. But we're in this timeline, and the film is a half-assed attempt at capturing the nostalgia and action beats of the first two Predator films. But I rather not focus on the negative this week. Instead, let's talk

Man, we really miss Metal Gear Solid, especially the bits where you sneak around and finish a stage undetected without any fatalities. How far has Konami gone off the deep end with their latest Metal Gear game I wonder? If you miss those days, you can re-enact them when Konami's Metal Gear Solid-themed real-life steal

It's still early days for Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) 2019 but we've figured out a useful tip that should increase your chances of scoring from direct free kicks up to 25m from goal.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of SNK, Kakuchopurei and Retro DNA are teaming up to publish a series of weekly features about SNK, the Neo Geo, and its slew of first-party titles. This one's a personal OP ED piece to get the ball rolling. I remember browsing through a copy of EGM back in Malaysia at the Indian-owne

Konami recently unveiled the recommended specifications to run PES2019 on the PC and it's pretty decent if you ask us. With 30GB of available space in the drive, a machine running on Intel i5 or AMD FX4350 should be adequate to run it. A minimum of 4GB RAM is mandatory and older machines utilizing GTX670 GPU should be
