All I can say about 2018 is that if it were not for this gig, the games, The Last King podcast side gig thing, and that pretty awesome Spider-Man movie, I would have deemed it the worst year of my God-given existence. But you're here for video game talk, so I'll spare you all the grisly details. I'll say this: when

Greetings again; you're now reading the fourth part of our awesome Best of 2018 awards.

2018 is almost over, but there's still a ton of games coming out later in the next few months. Even with Christmas going to be done and over with, there's still a number of games to round up the end of the year, as well as many others to highlight the start of 2019. Here's a list of them. Get your wallet and calendar

Platform: PS4, Xbox One, PC Genre: Open-World Sandbox, Action-Adventure Remember the good old days of sandbox games, where the narrative and plot were there only as an excuse for the player to explore the open-world and blow stuff up? Games like Volition's Red Faction: Guerilla (now-defunct), Pandemic Studios' Merce

Asian gamers always get the short straw when it comes to PlayStation Plus offerings. For instance, PS Plus subscribers in the US received Yakuza Kiwami and Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition in November 2018, while we only received Beyond: Two Souls and Metronomicon: Slay the Dance Floor. For the first time in a while (pas

Shigeru Miyamato's action-adventure brainchild, The Legend of Zelda, is a timeless game meant for all ages. Yet somehow the main character Link can't seem to get top billing for the games he's in. Regardless, they're a bag of fun because they focus a lot on exploration, adventuring, and problem-solving. You're not

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

In a field "crowded" by the Call of Juarez series, Activision's Gun, and not much else, it's not that hard to be the best Western game out there. Especially if you're Rockstar Games and you have a great template and the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (alongside the Euphoria and Bullet software) to back up your future pr

Ah, the season of fall where we get brown leaves and cold winds. Unfortunately, this is Malaysia and we only get more heat. Sigh. Anyway, this is a new season where a bunch of new anime shows are debuting right now. Here are our top picks in no particular order. Gyakuten Saiban/Ace Attorney  Season 2 https://www.yo

Southeast Asia had its annual PlayStation Experience in Bangkok, Thailand this year, which automatically means that there should be one in the US happening later, right? However, that will not be the case for 2018. During the official PlayStation Blogcast episode this week, PlayStation's Worldwide Studios chairman Sha

Word on the street is that Devil May Cry 5 will feature optional microtransactions to save players from grinding your Neros and Dantes. 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

A while ago, Kakuchopurei reported the massive layoffs of Telltale Games and the company keeping 25 remaining staff members as a skeleton crew to finish up the company's outstanding projects. So what happens next? Turns out, a lot. Let's put it in bullet points because there's still hope for narrative-controlled gamin

Let us go back to the way-back-when machine, during the early and late 2000s. Before From Software became synonymous with Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and "goddamn tough-but-fair JRPGs with so much goth & despair", they used to make a ton of action games. https://youtu.be/MfPmRnheQKY?t=14m31s Action games with mythica

Three Triple-A games are getting the free-to-play treatment this weekend which should keep you occupied with games you'd otherwise miss.

In one of the weirder non-endemic video game promotions and tie-ins to date, 4Fingers Crispy Chicken- in collaboration with SIE Asia (SG)- will be sending lucky patrons to Los Angeles in June. Starting today from 20th April to 20th May 2018, patrons to any of the chain's 17 outlets in Malaysia and Singapore stand to w

What is the purpose of this FAQ? It's to set the record straight about this game, and whether the current hate it's getting is justified. Which personally it isn't, but it's hard to convince people who aren't open to a concept of not judging a game when they haven't' even played it yet. How is God of War?  It's ef

2017 is done and over with. Let's celebrate this lovely new year with, what else, a list of games confirmed for 2018. Or at least, the ones we know of since the past few months. We'll break it down into quarters so that it's easier for us to refer to. As for games that don't have anything more than a "2018" stamp on i

The first Metal Gear game to be made after Hideo Kojima’s departure, survival-action-adventure game, Metal Gear Survive will be released on February 20th 2018.
