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

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PC via Steam, macOS Genre: 2D twitch-action platformer, with a time-bending samurai and tons of death and attempts (sounds familiar...) Katana Zero is what happens when you give Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice some acid and some speed, and tons of neon. It's Super Meat Boy but with the superna

10 years, huh? Who knew that Iron Man movie would end up starting film's most successful and long-running cinematic universes of all time? Thanks to Marvel and Disney, we are now knee-deep in superheroics on moving pictures. But which Marvel film is the best? Which one is the worst in its high-yet-familiar template an

Last year's nominee for best RPG and winner of best OST on the game awards that matter in Southeast Asia is getting a PC release. And we won't have to wait that long. The former exclusive Nintendo Switch JRPG with the lovely 3D/2D retro diorama graphics and 8 character narrative flow will be out on Steam June 7, accor

Hellboy is notable for being one of very few comic book characters outside of Marvel and DC Comics to have ever received a movie reboot. While both of the Guillermo Del Toro's Hellboy and its sequel, Hellboy II The Golden Army were great, they took a lot of liberties with the source material, changing a lot of elements

It's been one year since Sea of Thieves came out, and truth be told, it's shaping up to be quite a multiplayer experience. While its early few months were in dire straits, the end-of-year updates and free DLC put them back onto calmer tides. To celebrate its entire year of ups and downs, Microsoft and Rare announced i

It looks like PlayStation exclusives aren't even sacred anymore. During a keynote at GDC (Game Developers Conference) 2019 in San Francisco, Quantic Dream announced that Detroit Become Human, Beyond Two Souls, and Heavy Rain are slated to release for the PC exclusively via the Epic Games Store. This news (via Twinfini

Let's face hard cold facts: Capcom wouldn't have its slew of IPs right now -Resident Evil and Devil May Cry- were it not for two figureheads formerly from the company: Shinji Mikami and Hideki Kamiya. But since it's Devil May Cry week, we're going to focus on the latter's accomplishments. For as brash and outspoken as

Did you love the deconstructivism and sombre narrative of Chrono Trigger's sequel on the PS1? Most importantly, did you relish in the majestic soundtrack created by Yasunori Mitsuda, arguably one of the most important composers in video game history? Then you'll love the Cross Symphonic album. Created by composer John

In February 1995, a bunch of guys and their close friends and cousins, some of them with medical degrees and programming, decided to create a medical simulation programme to help people. They also happen to play video games during their spare time. With their medical field funds and profit, they figured "screw it", lau

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

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

Gamers and developers have long cited gaming as one of the entertainment industries with the biggest potential. Now we have the numbers and statistics to back that up, as the video games market is currently worth a whopping £3.864 billion (or roughly RM20.103 billion), making it larger in value than both film and mu

Welcome to Kakuchopurei's Best of 2018 feature, where we rank our favourite and not-so-favourite gaming things of 2018. We've done four of these so far, so it's now down to the wire; the big one. 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.

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. ICYMI, we've added Days One to Three below: Day One Day Two Day ThreeThis time, we'll be touching upon the best lookers, best sounders, and everything else in-between before the GOTY stuff.

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

The dust has settled and we're ready to discuss the results of The Game Awards 2018. AAA and indie games alike won awards, with Red Dead Redemption 2 turning out to win the most awards but failing to win the (arguably) biggest award of them all (Game of The Year, which went to God of War). Here's what I thought of some

I took the PlayStation Classic for a spin recently. And while a few of the games deserved to be on the retro-throwback cube, I felt that there should be other worthy titles in the mix. As it stands, the motley of games on the mini retro console is, how shall I put it, lacking. I'm not saying I know better, but as some
