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. CrossC

Remember Dissidia Final Fantasy NT? Square Enix announced that we're getting a free version of it. The Dissidia Final Fantasy NT Free Edition will be available on PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam soon with a limited roster of characters that change on a weekly basis. Player stats and character stats on the rotating c

Facing financial pressures, CD Projekt owned distribution platform, GOG was forced to lay off 'at least a dozen staff' last week as confirmed by Kotaku. GOG did not state the exact reason as to why this lay off happened, but one of the laid-off employees has said that the company has been in a financial rut. An offi

Someone manning the Steam page for the upcoming RPG extravaganza The Outer Worlds got a bit too excited and blew his proverbial load prematurely. It seems that the game will be out 6 August of this year according to the updated-then-taken-down Steam page for the game. Now it just reads 2019. Thank goodness for sites l

Unlike Tekken 7 and SoulCalibur 6, this year's outsiders and away team players were no match for Japan's top Street Fighter 5 players. The top 8 was filled with 6 Japanese players, 1 US player (Punk), and 1 Taiwanese player (OilKing). Fans and players hoping for a turnaround from the US and Taiwanese representative dur

With digital game store giants like Valve's Steam and Epic Games' Store ruling the roost, it's no surprise that surviving in this space is hard no matter how big your name is. Such is the case of Razer, whose game store is ceasing operations on 28 February at 1am Pacific Time (5pm GMT+8). The store is closing down due

Disclaimer: this article may be considered non-kosher to some, so read with care and with an open mind.  Happy Chinese New Year, everybody! The Year of the Dog has come and gone; now it's the Year of the Pig. While many believe pigs to be nothing more than ever-hungry greedy and lazy mofos, nothing could be furthe

Who knew you could launch a DMCA against your own game, eh? In a recent turn of events, Malaysia developer Ammobox Studios, who created the nifty-looking FPS-RTS hybrid Eximius: Seize The Frontline, is seeking public crowdfunding help for an upcoming legal battle against TheGameWall Studios. They plan to use Gofundme.

After initially announcing The Division 2 Private Beta several weeks ago, Ubisoft has revealed what kind of content players can expect next week.

Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia has announced that SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays will be releasing for the PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via Steam) sometime in 2019. It is set to arrive with the original Japanese voiceover and English subtitles. In celebration of the G Generation's 20th anniversary in 2018, SD Gun

I can't believe that we're here. Kingdom Hearts 3 is literally only two weeks away. I've spent the last month or so replaying all the Kingdom Hearts titles, thanks to the convenient Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 Remix and Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue collections on the PS4. It's not too late for you to catc

Ubisoft has announced that the Private Beta for Tom Clancy's The Division 2 will be arriving next month, from 7 to 11 February 2019. Those who have pre-ordered the game will automatically receive access while everyone else will have to register for the Private Beta at the official website here. In other related n

These days, it’s not that hard to open up a tiny-as-heck video game company provided you have funds and you have your country’s current government having entertainment and media bodies supporting them with facilities and, you guessed it, even more funds. That’s pretty much Singapore’s Info-

Winter is finally here. The snow’s out in full force, so there’s no better time to dive under the blankets, sip on a nice cup of hot chocolate and watch some of the newest anime offerings. Well, unless you're in the steaming tropics of Malaysia - in that case, tough luck. The New Year is filled with bran

Update: Added in a method to circumvent the demo's 30-minute restriction, as well as a speedrun video from YouTube user SVINT & a few others.  With the Resident Evil 2 reboot coming out soon on 25 January, it's no surprise that there's a demo coming out soon. In fact, it'll be available from 11 January to 31 Ja

Numbers don't lie. No matter how much "hardcore" gamers may hate mobile games or regard them as not being 'true' games, they're still dominating half of the global games industry. Now, how about those games on Facebook? They seem to be overlooked by most people but the fact is that they're doing better than ever. Accor

Recently, Malaysia's Sultan Muhammad has stepped down as the King of the country. The news came as a shock to many, particularly his relatives in Kelantan. It is rather sudden to see his reign cut short since 2016. So to pay tribute to the former Agong abdicating the throne, we're going to turn our frowns upside-down

Skybound Games has released a new trailer for the upcoming third episode of The Walking Dead The Final Season, which is going to be the first episode of the franchise not to be developed by Telltale Games. The Walking Dead The Final Season Episode 3, titled "Broken Toys," directly follows the aftermath of the events th

It’s time to make merry, grab some Steam discounts, and hammer out those "Best of 2018" lists. As my fellow Kakuchopurei pals dig out their Year of the Dog highlights, I’d like to spend this time sniffing out five positive developments from the industry so far. It’s all too easy to count our losse

For as long as I can remember, I'm always trying to fit together the best items to improve my gaming experience. This side-hobby has pushed me to look beyond gaming peripherals for the best experience. Gaming peripherals simply don't cut it and the recent RGB trend has put me off (here, here ~Editor). Here are my top
