Today marks the 25th anniversary of the PlayStation, in case you couldn't tell from your game-fuelled Facebook feed or on our front page of the website. 25 years ago this week, the first PlayStation was launched in Japan.

But what about the new ones in Pokémon Sword/Shield, the latest RPG for the Nintendo Switch? Which cri

If you're Disney these days, sometimes change doesn't come that often, especially when you take into account The Lion King's (2019 version) disgusting box office numbers. So we should be glad that the team

I still recall playing Elder Scrolls: Skyrim for the first time. I felt accomplished as I knocked out quests, explored dungeons, picked flowers while stealing anything and everything in sight to sate my endless hunger for wealth… yeah. Countless hours later, I found that I had nothing left to do, combat felt s

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

Have a hankering for the good old days when brawlers and side-scrolling beat-em-ups had simple-yet-fun non-linear level layouts and a simple RPG progression system? Wished that Technos came back from the dead and made a nicer-looking River City game? Well, we can't have the latter. But that's OK because developer WayF

Monster Hunter World is Capcom's feather in the cap, so it's no surprise how its massive expansion, Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is picking up steam as the hype train speeds up with no signs of stopping. With that, there will be new hunters trying out the ropes as well as passionate veterans warming up for new chall

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.

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.

The old console wars left a lot of dilapidated and forgotten gaming machines, one of which was the NEC Home Electronics' TurboGrafx-16, also known as PC Engine in Japan and Europe. Konami is bringing a mini retro version of the console soon, and the full lineup for all three versions have been revealed. The full games

The world championship of fighting games - EVO 2019 is just round the corner, and with it comes the inevitable buzz, speculation and discussion of which players will be the ones to take home the fame and glory of becoming the EVO world championship in their respective games.

The EXP Pro-Am Apex Legends exhibition matches have just concluded with a slew of epic gameplays and memorable moments. We saw an iteration of Mortal Kombat making its way to King's Canyon, as well as butt-clenching clutches from pro players as well as unexpected plays coming from the athletes. Dizzy and his squad wer

Walt Disney Studios have released the first trailer for its upcoming live-action Mulan movie, and it's definitely different, to say the least.

Imagine Game Of Thrones or Lord Of The Rings, but replace humans and dragons with mice and owls. In fact, the concept of the Mouse Guard in the source material's lore is similar to the real-world

Platform: Nintendo Switch Genre: Musical Action Adventure When you think of the term "spoiling the market", you think lazy spin-off titles and offshoots like a lot of Final Fantasy mobile games out there. But you also think of other titles like your Auto Chess games in Dota 2; an offshoot of a mod that is so addictive

With the Rise of Shadows out a few days ago, we figured it's best to help our fellow card-slingers and esports enthusiasts with a detailed guide on how to Hearthstone like a champ. So far, the meta is already flooded with great deck archetypes, but which ones are the most-sought-after? To help us with this arduous tas
