Hello, I’m Amirul "meckronos" Ashraf, resident writer over at gamermatters.com. So I may know a thing or two about video games.  2019 was quite a strong year for games as we are entering the twilight of the current console generation. With so many good games coming out, most of the time I just can’t k

Let's get right to it. Games Released This Year That I Played, and Liked 1. The Outer Worlds https://www.facebook.com/kakuchopurei/videos/446663749539160/?__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARB4LHlrcWrjeMa6X_8JKN9qLnZ2EUQSFoc21JZcDKpIJzeAJQwZTukRvefrBR69yc5oYS-CviQy_FKoQgaF9cuRpjRRL6iJi5LvBDaYruMhv2NruhWMbsv2gUQk7ix7BIOuVB_TwSnJCRBGMbS

The holiday season is upon us! That means a lot of video game sales across lots of platforms including Steam. The Epic Games Store (EGS) is hosting their own Holiday Sale 2019 and it's got a lot of great games. The EGS has always been known for its almost-unfair levels of generosity when it comes to discounts and free

You have seen the Free Guy trailer starring Ryan Reynolds, right? It’s essentially about an NPC who gets free will and becomes a hero to combat all the bad guys populating the open-world game he’s stuck in, possibly programmed by Taika Waititi’s character. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2m-08cOA

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, one of the toughest-yet-rewarding action titles of 2019, won Game of the Year at this year's Game Awards produced and hosted by alleged Death Stranding supporter Geoff Keighley. To which we say "good save", but let's not sour the moment. Sekiro beat out not only Death Stranding, but also Re

Trust Razer to brand itself as the go-to gaming peripheral brand for the elite and the hardcore, all the while charging its base audience up the wazoo. Don't feel too sorry for them; they have the disposable income to fall for this ploy time and again. But I digress. Even if most of these peripherals are overpriced to

Update: the article's original headline said that Death Stranding had 10 awards; it has 9. Kakuchopurei regrets the error. The Game Awards 2019 is happening soon in the next few weeks, so it's apparent that the nominations are primed and ready.  Turns out that it's chock-filled with Death Stranding. No, really: th

With only one day to go with Google Stadia launches on 19 November 2019, the company has announced an additional 10 titles to the previously-confirmed 12 games which will be available at launch. This means that the cloud game streaming service will have a grand total of only 22 games at launch, which is still lacklust

In less than 10 days, the Google Stadia will finally be launching and the world will finally know whether Google's cloud gaming project is a peek into the future of gaming or another one of their projects that they will eventually kill off like Google Glass. On its launch day, the Stadia will have 12 games arriving al

Take Two Interactive's latest earnings call has just been posted online and we're getting a lot information regarding the performance of their recent games such as Borderlands 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, and more. Unfortunately, there are some bad news as well. Kerbal Space Program 2 has been delayed to fiscal year 20

In previous gaming generations, console wars were all the rage, with Nintendo and Sega duking it out in the 80s before PlayStation and Xbox came into the scene to spark an even bigger war. Now it's all about the PC digital storefronts, with Valve's Steam and Epic Games' Epic Games Store at the forefront. In an intervi

During a Google Pixel 4 reveal event today in the US, the "not just a search engine" company casually announced the release date of its new game streaming service. The Google Stadia will launch on 19th November. But hold your horses: this is for the US market, and for the first wave of early adopters who spent US$130

So we enjoyed the heck out of Control. I certainly did if Borderlands 3 wasn't in the way. For some PC gamers who aren't keen on playing the game via Epic Games, they're kinda missing out. Still, we do wonder the main reason why creator Remedy wants to side with Epic and its exclusivity deal. Now we know, and it invol

There's a ton of great PS4 games that are scheduled to come out from this month to mid-2020. The Tokyo Game Show 2019 is the perfect opportunity for Sony to showcase those tittles and more. Check out what Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Asia will be bringing to TGS this year: PlayStation 4 Titles 13 Sentinels:

It's 26 August again, my friends which means it's International Dog Day! Here at Kakuchopurei, we want to celebrate International Dog Day by sharing with you guys our favourite barkers and woofers from films and video games. Think of this as an expanded version of our previous Chinese New Year canine feature from a wh

Nintendo recently displayed its "Indie World" stream recently. Here's what we're getting later this year and the next. Think of this as a catalogue that expands your gaming selections and preferences for the tail end of 2019, as well as save your wallet if you don't want to spend RM100 or more on a single title. Torch

Take-Two Interactive has just released their latest quarterly earnings report and everything is looking good for the company which isn't too surprising since they publish big titles like Grand Theft Auto V, Red Dead Redemption 2, the Borderlands series, and more. According to the report (dating up to 30 June 2019), Re

One of the greatest things about being a PC gamer is having access to a number of digital stores that offer great discounts. Going full digital plus not having to pay for online multiplayer through a subscription like PS Plus, Xbox Live, and Nintendo Switch Online can really save a lot of money. So in celebration of g

Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries was initially scheduled for a September 2019 release. Developer Piranha Games has just dropped two shocking announcements. One, the game's release will be delayed to 10 December 2019. Two, it will be an Epic Games Store (EGS) exclusive. According to the game's FAQ page, there are several rea

In what is a big game-changer for PC platforms, Microsoft has announced that it's planning to release more of its Xbox Game Studios exclusives to Steam, no longer being limited to the Microsoft Store like it was before. This effort is part of the company's ongoing plans to expand their games to other platforms, includ
