Hi everybody. Four months ago I rescued an 8 day old kitten, his mother died and I took him home. Until recently we had no problems with him, but now he has become aggressive when he wants to play. Until now he was just happy with his balls and toys, but now when he is really active, he wants to hunt, and we are the prey. Of course we don't allow him to bite hard on us, but still, it's not funny for us, and he feels very frustrated about it (he is very vocal about his frustration...).

So I'm wondering, would it be wise to have another kitten so that they can play together? Or is this just a phase and he will grow out of it?

He would probably enjoy another male kitten his age or a bit older to interact with. As he grows, he has more energy to expend and he really needs to use it. You’ll want to get him neutered soon too, but his kitten energy may last 18-24 months. A playmate is highly recommended.
