Xbox head honcho Phil Spencer said during its E3 press conference that the Xbox team is working on a slew of new Xbox consoles. Obviously it's way too soon to say when they'll be ready, but some sources have some inkling. According to a tip-off from a Brad Sams on Thuttrott.com: He predicts that after a round of price cuts and worldwide stock-cl...
After that bombastic last-minute reveal of CD Projekt Red's sci-fi techno opus during the Microsoft Xbox press conference, we were all ready to proclaim Cyberpunk 2077 as "Witcher 3 but sci-fi, fast cars, and androids". We might have been premature with our claims, but we were half-right: it's an RPG where you control a mercenary named V who takes...
Figured I get this out of the way: before I started contributing to good ol' Kakuchopurei, I played a LOT of Assassin's Creed Origins and its two expansions. I dug the RPG aspects of it, its charismatic protagonists Bayek and Aya, the ancient Egyptian setting during Ptolemy's rule, and the second expansion's foray into the afterlife -giant scorpion...
When was the last time a video game song or a tune from a video game trailer reached number 1 in a country's top pop rock song listing in a short time span? You can now add Ali Edwards' "Devil Trigger" in that really rare and empty list. No doubt most of you action game fans saw that sweet Devil May Cry 5 trailer. Let's remind you: https://www.yo...
In a gaming field already oversaturated by triple-A military shooters, online shooters, and upcoming shooters, we get this "gem" called Insurgency: Sandstorm. Just take a look to see why I used an ingredient for french fries to describe this piece of entertainment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grHuD8ome5s Here's the official description: "Ins...
Between 1996 to 1998, the Capcom team comprising of producer Shinji Mikami, director Hideki Kamiya, and 50 others alongside professional scriptwriter Noboru Sugimura created a sequel to Resident Evil/Biohazard.

Remember that insane Digital Devolver press conference video during E3 2017? Well, the DD folks are back again with more insanity while also announcing legit games. Here are the titles: The first title is SCUM, which is dubbed as an "open world prison survival" game featuring convicts, killer drones, and killer mechas that keep them in line. The g...
Remember that manga Bleach that used to be one of the big three of Shonen Jump alongside Naruto and One Piece before its creator Tite Kubo realized that he did not have the knack to do long-form storytelling? Well looks like he's going to be releasing a special artbook to commemorate those wonder years of hero Ichigo Kurosaki being a Soul Reaper/Sh...
Platforms: PS4, PC Genre: Action, Beat-Em-Up, Licensed Tie-In In case you couldn't tell by my previous Netflix and anime writeups, I really, REALLY adore Little Witch Academia.

Do you want to be in on the action too and claim your 15 minutes of internet fame? As an old sage in Tristram once said, stay awhile and listen. These things are honestly easy to forge, truth be told...
A few years back, I used to create videos about video game music under the name SoundScape. Actually, it was under "Mr Toffee", but I branded them SoundScape because "sound" + "escape" = video game music = SoundScape. I had fun doing those, though it's as super-niche as it can get despite me spending oodles of my time perfecting my mixes and video...

Street Fighter history has been made, at least in Malaysia. CFN IAmChuan, a veteran player from the country, took first place in the Capcom Pro Tour SEA Online tournament during the past weekend. The online tournament featured 70 players from all across Southeast Asia, including a guy named Aronmanurung who trashed me without fail when I used to p...
I remember a time when fightings game were a dime a dozen. The 90s was indeed a joyful time to be alive if you're into fighting, 3D, 2D, and any sort of mashup for that. Before esports came in and ruined fighting games -still subjective depending on which end you're at- people played fighting games for fun, floaty control feels, and to pull off a t...

So we've got a glimpse of Bethesda's latest entry in the Fallout series: Fallout 76. Beyond that and a cover of that famous John Denver song playing in the background, we know squat about it. https://www.facebook.com/kakuchopurei/videos/1436502959787448/ At least until this Kotaku report popped up. Turns out Fallout 76 will be an online multiplay...
So we played Detroit: Become Human. It's a decent interactive experience, though it's still not much of a game. But that's pretty much the way "auteur" David Cage works. He's also renowned for being influenced by the medium he's so enamoured in recreating in games: film. Though to his credit, he has done a lot of research in civil rights movement ...
