It's almost impossible to avoid comparing the reboot of a franchise to that which came before, which in this case refers to Neil Marshall's 2019 Hellboy reboot and Guillermo Del Toro's two Hellboy movies in 2004 and 2008. As a fan of the comics, it's hard not to be pleased when a comic book adaptation attempts to be closer and more faithful to the ...
I've spent hours traipsing through the cold bits of Pandora yet again since 10 years ago, gunning down heavy-shielded Vault protectors and Crimson Lance soldiers of varying bad-assness in glorious 4K and Ultra graphic settings. And then it just dawned onto me; I didn't turn on my network settings in-game. Within 10 years, the loot-and-shoot genre t...
2019 marks the 60th anniversary of the iconic and classic horror/sci-fi anthology series, which is no coincidence that a reboot has once again reared its head. Jordan Peele's The Twilight Zone comes at a time when anthologies have returned to the limelight, thanks to modern takes on the genre by shows like Black Mirror, Love, Death & Robots, an...
Platforms: iOS, Android Genre:Â Pirate Card Game ala Slay the Spire Mobile games are primarily developed with casual players in mind. All the players would love to have is to have something fill in their time casually, as opposed to devoting their time to full mobile games like Mobile Legends: Bang Bang or PUBG Mobile. With that said, casual ga...
The original Pet Sematary adaptation in 1989 focused its horror tale on a well-meaning nice guy who makes the wrong choices. At least when it comes to shielding the subject of death from his kids for the sake of his wife. Oh, and there's the unnatural resurrection plot tied into all this coupled with nice gore effects for both humans and cats. In ...
Laika may not be a household name like Disney, Pixar or even Dreamworks but it has always been unique amongst all those other studios by championing one of the most difficult animation techniques: stop-motion. That alone would make Laika's animated movies worth the price of admission, though they're often so much more than their visuals. 2009's Co...
I remember how inventive and trippy Super Mario Bros World 2: Yoshi's Island was back in 1995. The awesome art style, the inventive gameplay where Yoshi can morph into different things, the fact that only lose if you get Baby Mario kidnapped, leading to Yoshi himself being invincible except to pitfalls and spikes. Fun times. How was that "blast to...
Comic book movies exploring the origins of their protagonists and heroes have gotten a bad rep in recent years. Even avid comic book fans like myself are feeling the fatigue of being bombarded by formulaic superhero origin movies, the likes of which unfortunately includes Marvel Studios' latest effort, Captain Marvel. Shazam! may have the advantag...
I'll have to level with you Disney animation fans out there: I never cared much about the 1941 animated Dumbo film. All I remember is the following: Casey Jr. Flying elephant. Psychedelic drug sequence featuring pink elephants. Talking crows that remind me of a time Disney went all out with racial stereotyping. It's just a bunch of interestin...
Here at Kakuchopurei.com, we don't normally review footwear. But once in a while, an awesome pair (or range) drops and we just can't afford to miss out on it. With the final season of HBO's Game of Thrones just around the corner, what better way to commemorate and celebrate eight seasons of brilliant television by collaborating with one of the bigg...
Platform: PS4, Xbox One, PC Genre: Soulsborne, Action RPG, Stealth In my hands-on first impression of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, I stated that this might be the game that finally makes me a Soulsborne fan. I was wrong. I don't have to tell you that From Software games are notorious for being extremely difficult to the point of inducing screaming...
The indie game onslaught of 2018 continues, now with this incredibly on-the-nose tribute to PlayStation 1's revered Castlevania classic, Symphony Of The Night. Timespinner (PC, PS4) The premise: You play Lunais, a Time Messenger who is tasked with defending her tribe against the Lachiem Empire. You see, Time Messengers can use the Timespinner, a ma...
Trust Jordan Peele, the man who wowed horror buffs with the masterclass film Get Out, to add in his own two cents about America's political climate in a simple "home invasion via boogeymen" horror movie focused on middle-class folks. The victims are husband Gabe (Winston "Man Ape" Duke), wife Adelaide Wilson (Lupita Nyong'o), and two kids (Evan Ale...
Platform: PS4, PC Genre: Stealth, Action, Third-Person Shooter, Survival Military Thriller, Mecha After Konami screwed the pooch with last year's Metal Gear Survive and thus effectively ending the franchise's foreseeable future, fans have been looking forward to not only the revival of the long-dormant Front Mission franchise but also that Left Al...
Platforms: PS4, PC, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch Genre: Open-world Builder Sandbox I don't care what people have to say. All I'm saying is that The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame is one enjoyable open world game where I can beat baddies, destroy some LEGO property, harvest some bricks and build my own town. It's Grand Theft Auto, without the 'grand', '...
Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One Genre: Ubisoft open world loot-and-shoot game that works. No, really! My 12Â 24+ hours playing the full version of The Division 2 pretty much instilled my faith in loot-and-shoot games with open environments to faff about in. Granted, it's not going to take much to impress people after they're burned out by Destiny ...
Platforms: PS4, PC, Xbox One Genre: Anime open-world action adventure game that needed 1 more year of polish If there's one thing you can count on from Kohei Tanaka, is that his anime/video game compositions and work can elevate even the most subpar experiences to epic heights. Much like how Michael Salvatori, Skye Lewin, and C Paul Johnson did wi...
Who knew a simple melee twin-stick action stealth game could be presented in such a jazzy fashion? In a game about a gorilla escaping, of all things? That's Ape Out in all of its pastel glory, presented in minimalistic colours ala Saul Bass and with a jazz soundtrack full of wild percussions inspired by films like Whiplash (sans teacher abuse). Li...
Platforms: PS4, PC, Xbox One Genre: Puzzle game where you figure out a 100 ways to kill a demon; of course it's an action game! For a good amount of time in the 90s and even the 2000s, Capcom was at their prime with arcade and action games galore. But let's focus more on the latter. After the first Devil May Cry was released to much acclaim in 200...
In our last LTTP column where we talk about games we missed a year ago, we talked about an anime game in Yakuza clothing. This week, we have an indie darling that's wearing the coattails of Sword Arts Online. But unlike the Bandai Namco games based on the franchise, the game we're talking about is actually good. CrossCode (PC, and Nintendo Switch) ...
