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, 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

2018 is almost over, but there's still a ton of games coming out later in the next few months. Even with Christmas going to be done and over with, there's still a number of games to round up the end of the year, as well as many others to highlight the start of 2019. Here's a list of them.

It delivered on its promises, as some of these definitely left me gaping in surprise. Here are some of my picks for the most unexpected game announcements from The Game

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

2018 was a special year for gaming. After a lengthy development cycle, one of the most anticipated games of the generation launched on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption 2 was an instant hit, breaking records and becoming one of the highest grossing entertainment launches in history

In a frantic rush to finish up my current gaming library of 2018 before the year ends, I have been dabbling and playing a ton of

It's great to be an anime fan, especially if you're into Bandai Namco-made goods.

Geoff Keighley's patented Game Awards show is going to be a thing this December. As such, we're curious about the nominees for this year's showing. We've got them now; turns out these picks aren't big surprises if you've kept up with your gaming. What's really cool is that you can also pick your favourite esports host

Warframe is an action F2P game featuring space ninjas, co-op gameplay, space, and loads of grinding. It's also a game that has been around since 2013, which means that the game has a ton of content to rival both Destiny games from Activision and other games similar to it. Here are some additional beginner tips for you

We'll admit: not many of us would want to waste their precious Sundays to stay up for this Xbox livestream. But hey, we do it so you don't have to. Here are the best announcements from this weekend's X018 event. Obsidian Entertainment Joins Microsoft's Internal Studio Group Ninja Theory, Undead Labs, Compulsion Games

After being bombarded with Frozen's Arendelle in previous Kingdom Hearts 3 trailers, Square Enix has finally given us a glimpse into Tangled's Kingdom of Corona featured in the upcoming highly-anticipated JRPG. It's a glorious sight to behold, with Corona's lush green forests a stark contrast to Arendelle's pure white

Platform: PS4, Xbox One Genre: Western, Open-World, Action-Adventure I'll flat-out say it: Red Redemption 2 is not perfect. It does not deserve a 10 out of 10. There, I said it. Everyone else is praising Rockstar Games' latest effort like it's the greatest game of this generation. I scoff at that notion. Does RDR2 fulf

After 15 or so hours in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, we can safely say that this game is definitely a little more than just an expanded version of Assassin's Creed Origins, last year's Ubisoft sandbox game featuring assassins, Egypt, and a pretty cool protagonist. While they're not major changes, the differences are more

This feature is still under development. Also, this guide is powered by Dell Alienware's gaming laptop line.

Platform: Nintendo Switch Genre: JRPG, Anime Last year's Xenoblade Chronicles 2 came out on the tail end of 2017 and ended up becoming quite a gem of a JRPG. It's kinda old-school but has a lot of nuances to make the 100+ hour slog bearable, it gets better after the 20-hour mark, its combat system is fun, and its hero

Sony PlayStation made a preemptive strike a week before Tokyo Game Show to announce its slew of new titles. Let's highlight the best ones, shall we? Samurai Shodown Slated For 2019 https://www.facebook.com/kakuchopurei/videos/715437335484148/ We wrote about this earlier. Long story short: 2D weapons-based fighting, cl
