Spider-Man had one of its best years in 2018, the biggest of which was arguably Marvel's Spider-Man for the PS4. That's why it's no surprise when Sony Interactive Entertainment Hong Kong Limited Singapore Branch (SIES) announced that sales for the Insomniac Games' title have exceeded a whopping 9 million copies worldwi

We do love our arena brawler games; right now I'm hooked on Brawl Stars for mobile. But what about the console arena brawlers with tactile feedback and an 80s retro-future twist? We're missing those as of late, which is why we should thank Australian developer Bit Dragon for Hyper Jam. The official description from th

Netflix took the world by storm with Black Mirror's "Bandersnatch" episode, introducing non-gamers and normal viewers alike to the interactive choose-your-own-adventure genre. While it may be groundbreaking in the realm of movies and television, games and books have long featured the interactive adventure format. It's

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

Our awards week is still a thing; now we're down to Day 3. Catch up on the past awards below: Day One Day Two We've dedicated this day to the newcomers, the puzzlers, and the indie games. And maybe even the tender moments and memorable heroes/heroines we've all played with and against. Also, we sorted out the best anim

Hi, I’m Gwen Guo, co-founder of Imba Interactive. It's a game audio studio which does music, sound effects, voiceovers, audio implementation, and everything in-between. I'm going to talk about the three games I played and adored this year.   Wandersong Developed by Greg Lobanov, Em Halberstadt and Gordo

The most ambitious crossover event of all time is happening, folks, but it might not be what everyone's expecting. The Android and iOS mobile game Final Fantasy Brave Exvius will officially be crossing over with Kingdom Hearts 3 worldwide on December 28, 2018. The Final Fantasy Brave Exvius Kingdom Hearts event will ad

I'm Desmond, one of the co-founders of The Gentlebros. We're probably best known for Cat Quest, but we were all from Koei Tecmo too (where we worked on Fatal Frame, Dynasty Warriors and so on!). I've been a gamer almost my whole life and don't see myself stopping any time soon, so here are my top gaming things of 2018

Greetings, one and all, to Kakuchopurei's very first (and hopefully ongoing) Best Of 2018 Awards. In this ongoing feature, we hand out accolades to the best video game things and tidbits of the year using the power of democracy among our humble team. We also condemn the worst practices & games too because some she

I saw Bumblebee last week; it was a pretty decent end-of-the-year show featuring some G1 Transformer goodness and a lot of coming-of-age teen-slash-human stuff. It also featured a lot of Hailee Steinfeld and Bumblebee hanging out and being kinda touchy-feely for each other, to the point where it's unintentionally gener

Within the first 15 minutes of this Transformers origin story-slash-possible-reboot directed by Travis "Kubo & The Two Strings" Knight, I was in heaven. The battle for Cybertron between the Autobots and Decepticons. Soundwave doing his minion cassette ejecting thing, Shockwave issuing commands to the Seekers and th

After its initial debut into Marvel Comics thanks to the currently-ongoing Spider-Geddon crossover event, Insomniac Games' Spider-Man PS4 will be receiving its own official comic book adaptation. The six-issue miniseries is slated to release sometime in March 2019. Written by Dennis Hopeless and illustrated by Michele

Barry Allen has found his real-life Iris West. Congratulations to Grant Gustin and La Thoma for officially tying the knot! The Flash star Grant Gustin, 28, and half-Malaysian U.S. citizen Andrea La Thoma, 30, reportedly got married in a private ceremony at the Valentine DTLA in Los Angeles on Saturday, December 15, 20

Psst...want to find out the number of people playing a particular game on the PS4? Look no further than the new "My PS4 Life" tool which gives players info about their gameplay to share with others. It also is a gateway to calculate player count/sales of almost every PS4 game. How? Well, when you use the My PS4 Life t

Some things never age well, this I know. Movie remakes exist for a reason; to sell an age-old idea to a new audience in hopes they pick it up and share it with their children and descendants. Some remakes work well: The Fly and The Thing in the 80s worked like a charm by elevating beyond its predecessor's intention.

A few days ago, Capcom announced the "sponsored content" option starting 11 December where players can obtain additional Fight Money (the currency you use to buy characters and stuff) in Ranked and Casual Matches. Sponsored content/ads will be on fighter's costumes, on the loading screen before a fight, and on stages l

The upcoming third and final episode of Marvel's Spider-Man: The City That Never Sleeps is titled Silver Lining, and it's arriving next week on December 21, 2018. Insomniac Games have also taken this opportunity to announce their collaboration with Sony Pictures' Spider-Man Into The Spider-Verse, which means that playe

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a game title that speaks for itself. It's the 'Ultimate' version of the series because, well, it's got pretty much everything. It's packed with over 800 songs and more than 100 stages. And the number of playable characters? A dizzying 74 fighters, all with their own specialized movesets.

Disney's really laying it with the live-action sequels to their past works, no? And really, they seem to be doing it to the point of excess. For every hit like Christopher Robin, there's a couple of unnecessary adaptations (Beauty & The Beast) and reiterations that don't do the original source material justice (The

Update (16/12/2018): New tier list. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is out, and we love every minute of it. But if you're new to the game, it may come off as daunting. The roster here is pretty huge for a crossover Nintendo game, after all. And they're pretty darn different to play as if we're sticking to typical fighting
