Asian gamers will have two new games to look forward to in the PS Plus August 2019 lineup, and they’re arguably the most exciting games we’re receiving in months. From 7 August to 3 September 2019, PS Plus Asia subscribers will be able to redeem WipEout Omega Collection and Chronicles of Teddy: Harmony

Sony Interactive Entertainment Singapore Private Limited (SIES) has announced that PS4 exclusive Concrete Genie will be released in Malaysia on 9 October 2019. Developed by first-party SIE developer PixelOpus, Concrete Genie is an action-adventure puzzle-platformer game, which follows the heart-warming journey of a bu

Devolver Digital's E3 2019 press conference was all kinds of crazy, but the highlight of the 20-minute presentation was arguably their bootleg collection comprising of 'fake' versions of their own popular games like Hotline Miami and Enter The Gungeon. A total of 8 different games have received the bootleg treatment i

While we said in our glowing review of Lapis x Labyrinth that the action RPG can be simple, there are some quirks and obstacles that can kill you outright without you knowing why. Whether you're using the wrong combination of adventurers/dango tower, ill-equipped, or have the wrong enchantments, you may end up stumped.

There's a lot of unique things about video games as a hobby. It's one of those mediums of entertainment that combines literature, technology, visual art, audio design, and many more aspects. It's also one of the only forms of entertainment I know that tells you "Look kid, until you're good enough, we're not letting you

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

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

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, one and all, to Kakuchopurei's very first (and hopefully ongoing) Best Of 2018 Awards. In this ongoing feature, we hand out accolades to the best video game things and tidbits of the year using the power of democracy among our humble team. We also condemn the worst practices & games too because some she

What else is there to say about Mega Man (or Rock Man if you're from Japan)? He is Capcom's original mascot with the run-and-gun fun and also innovates with the boss weapon-stealing powerup. While the X and Zero games superceded and improved upon the weapon-stealing formula, you can't forget your 8-bit roots. But whic

Happy belated royal birthday, Yang Dipertuan Agong of Malaysia. To most of us in Malaysia, it's a nice long weekend. But for some of us (sorta) hard at work at Kakuchopurei and definitely, DEFINITELY not distracted by Marvel's Spider-Man on the PS4, it's another opportunity to reminisce about the best kings and queens

The Nintendo Switch is getting a lot of indie games it seems, according to the latest Nintendo Direct video showcase sadly not featuring Reggie Fils-Aime. Let's break down our top picks. Into The Breach (Out Now) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptYwMwxP7ho The makers of FTL has created an arguably decent turn-based

Nintendo recently sold over 20 million units of the Switch; congratulations! That's definitely a far cry from the sales numbers of the Wii U, which is probably the worst-selling console next to the Virtual Boy. Hell, we're not sure if we should even count it in this grand scheme of equations. No disrespect to the late-

This story was originally posted on 22 June. This story is still in development, at least until July 6. So we announced this early morning on Facebook that the official Steam Intergalactic Summer Sale just started. Valve sure likes surprising people with these things, eh? In any case, it's that time of the month wher

You've seen the news and coverage about the big titles of E3 like that one Halo Infinite game and that one action game with Nero and his mechanical arm. But what about the smaller indie titles or the quirky games that were on the show floor? We're going to miss out on a lot of them; it happens, right? Have no fear: we

It's now Day 2 of E 2018, and Microsoft just finished their Xbox press conference. While it initially feels like a repeat of 2017 where they announced a ton of games but only few exclusives, keep in mind that Xbox's Game Pass idea kinda makes all of this sounds tempting. We'll do a quick breakdown, then get back to th

Nintendo yet again surprised us with another 30-minute Nintendo Direct video segment this early morning at 5am. The main highlight is, of course, Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo Switch (finally). Sadly there's no news on Metroid Prime 4 or anything Metroid-related, but there's a ton more stuff if you want more port

Man, I've spent quite a few hours with the 2D action Metroidvania platformer Rogue Legacy ever since it came out in 2013. I found the many traits you get at random when you start the game over and over rather endearing & annoying at the same time (especially the colourblind one and the gigantism one). Fun times; it

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
