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

E3 2019 is happening this week, and you may have some free time from this hump day to take a look at what's new games-wise. You'll need a handy-dandy place for all the latest and freshest news from press conferences and previews from us. You know, in case you couldn't wake up early for the press conferences and you co

Not much is currently known about From Software and George R.R. Martin‘s new game, Elden Ring, which was recently officially announced during Microsoft’s Xbox E3 2019 press conference. However, game director Hidetaka Miyazaki has clarified a bit further about the upcoming game. In an interview with IGN, M

This guide is still in development, since the game is new & all... We had a blast with Id Software and Avalanche Studios' Rage 2.

Platform: PS4 Genre: Zombie apocalypse action-adventure game I've always wanted to check out Portland, Oregon in the US. During my time studying/working in North America, I'm always curious as to how vast the woods and trails are especially when you want to arrange a road trip just to see how lush it all is. As fun as

It has been 15 years since the release of the first FarCry game and today we have seen and experienced FarCry: New Dawn. The games’ beautiful graphics highlighting their ravishing locales is just a tip of the open-world iceberg, a FarCry signature even. The FarCry games are one of the greatest and defining ope

The Division 2 private is now live until 11 February in the evening. We have our own Mr Toffee and Syazwan Bahri play through the private beta.

Platform: PS4, Xbox One Genre: Action, JRPG Can a game live up to the unbridled level of anticipation and hype which has been slowly building over 14 years, from a franchise which initially began almost two decades ago? The Kingdom Hearts franchise merits a sense of nostalgia and furore unrivalled by arguably any ot

It's the new year. Birds are chirping anew. The Malaysian King just resigned. A new ruling party is in charge. Singapore's still our neighbours, for good and ill. And we now have more games to look forward to because it's what we love to do to escape from real life if only for a fleeting moment. Here's a list of all t

Here are Days One to Four, linked here for your reading convenience: Day One Day Two Day Three Day Four Now let's end this.

2018 has been a magnificent year for gaming. It's definitely better than 2016 or 2017 was for me. What a year it was, especially for the PS4, which (in my opinion) had its best year yet with phenomenal exclusives that blew all the competition away. It was the year of the PS4, with two Game of the Year (GOTY) candidates

It’s time to make merry, grab some Steam discounts, and hammer out those "Best of 2018" lists. As my fellow Kakuchopurei pals dig out their Year of the Dog highlights, I’d like to spend this time sniffing out five positive developments from the industry so far. It’s all too easy to count our losse

Platform: PS4, Xbox One Genre: Western, Open-World, Action-Adventure I'll flat-out say it: Red Redemption 2 is not perfect. It does not deserve a 10 out of 10. There, I said it. Everyone else is praising Rockstar Games' latest effort like it's the greatest game of this generation. I scoff at that notion. Does RDR2 fulf

Do you yearn for an open world game set in the Harry Potter universe and in Hogwarts Academy? Well, you might be getting it in the far future according to a recent Reddit leak.

Update: A lot has happened with this game from 2018 up to 2021. Forza Horizon 4 has received significant improvements that warrant a score increase. Plus, with Forza Horizon 3 gone, this entry is the best arcade racing game with open-world trappings by default, which you can also play as a sim.  Platform: Xbox On

Platform: PS4 Genre: Action Adventure, Spider-Man Simulator Amazing. Astonishing. Spectacular. Sensational. Those are but a few of the adjectives games media journalists who review the game would choose to describe Marvel's Spider-Man for the PlayStation 4.

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 hav

Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One Genre: Action, FPS, Cult-Bashing Simulator I'm sure many have been asking: Is Far Cry 5 as good as Far Cry 3? Some reviewers have chosen to focus on the story and how it doesn't live up to the initial premise marketed by Ubisoft. Others even say that the game's "political inclination" o
