Quick Links Astro Botboasts a large and varied roster of levels across its five main galaxies, and collectively, they’ve got more than enough on offer to keep players occupied for plenty of time. Those looking for secrets and optional content, however, will also find a fair amount of it in the form of Lost Galaxy Levels. Some of Astro Bot’s best and most creative levels are found in the Lost Galaxy, but unlocking them does take a little bit of work- which, thanks to Astro Bot’s excellent platforming, doesn’t feel like work, at the very least....

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Editionmight be my most anticipated game of the year. Yes, I know it’s a game I can already play on theWii Uif I dig it out of the cupboard (then spend several hours waiting for it to load), but this new version sounds way more exciting. It’s updating the visuals to better align with the definitive version of the original Xenoblade and the two sequels that followed, while rolling out a number of quality of life changes that are bound to make the cult classicJRPGmore appealing to a wider audience....

Peter Parker is a nerd. A dweeb. A loser. A geek. A poindexter. Any word used to describe a guy who is so nerdy that you can’t help but stuff him in lockers and give him swirlies. And it’s the act of being bitten by a radioactive spider and gaining superpowers that brings him out of his shell and turns him into a bigger, more confident person. But beneath all of that, he is still a bit of a loser....

TheNintendo DSwasn’t my first games console, but it might have been my favourite. An upgrade from the battered Game Boy Advance that I’d won in a competition years previous, it had everything a growing boy wanted: a backlight, a clamshell hinge that snapped shut with a satisfying snap, a touchscreen, and a carry case shaped like a toy bone fromNintendogs. At age 10, what more could you need? I experienced some of my formative gaming memories on that Nintendo DS....

Summary While the gaming world loves to see great original titles, you’re able to’t overlook how important sequels are to the industry. After all, most of the biggest games every year tend to be follow-ups to other titles. Plus, unlike movies, the quality of game sequels is a lot more consistent. In fact, it’s rare to see agaming series where the first entry is the best. Typically, the original game introduces some of the mechanics and perhaps the story, but all of that is built on and refined in future instalments....

Quick Links Lego Fortnite’s Lego Pass, Chill & Thrill, is available alongside the Lego Fortnite game mode:Brick Life. Where previous Lego Passes had rewards exclusive to the Lego Fortnite: Odyssey mode, almost all the Chill & Thrill Pass rewards are available in both game modes. The Chill & Thrill Lego Pass has a couple of different themes going for it, ranging from the holiday season to some spookier, gothic architecture and items....

Quick Links There’s a lot to get done inMythwrecked: Ambrosia Island, including befriending the forgotten gods struck with amnesia. Each of them has a unique personality and role to play on the island, and only you can bring them all back together again. The dynamic duo of Zeus and Hera are not to be trifled with. They rule over the rest of the gods on the island and throw elaborate parties to celebrate the joy of being alive, but lately they’ve been quiet....

I have no issue with video games taking influence from one another. Sometimes a game likeDark SoulsorThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildcomes along and becomes so influential that every other developer in the industry wants a slice. But normally, these build on systems with their own distinct mechanics and unorthodox quirks. WhenGenshin Impactarrived almost half a decade ago, it was labelled as a Breath of the Wild clone because of its stamina-based climbing system, handy glider, and so many other components that were pulled liberally from Nintendo’s masterpiece....

Arcanehas a lot of ground to cover in its second season.Riot GamesandNetflixconfirmed that its narrative will wrap up with the next nine episodes, meaning it must conclude arcs for Vi, Jinx, Caitlyn, Jayce, Viktor, Mel, and several other key characters. That’s a lot to ask, but judging from the first trio of episodes, it might just pull it off. Things begin immediately where the finale left off and not much is explained if you’ve forgotten what happened over the past three years, so I’d recommend a rewatch....

Summary Assassin’s Creed Shadowsgame director Charles Benoit has revealed that the game’s recent last-minute delay was done so that the team could polish the parkour, and not to change the story like some suspected. 2025 is absolutely packed with massive releases,but none are quite as important to a company as Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Ubisoft has been in dire straits over the past few years thanks to a fewunderperforming titles like Star Wars Outlaws and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, putting a lot of pressure on Shadows to deliver as much as it can....

Quick Links With Charizard on a pack and Venusaur celebrating its own event, Blastoise always seems to be in third place among the original starters. But Blastoise can be a force to reckon with inPokemon TCG Pocket, where Water-type Pokemon get some of the best support in the game. Thanks to Mythical Island, Water-type decks got a major upgrade, and Blastoise is here to make a splash (literally). In this guide, we’ll show you a sample decklist, the best strategies to make Blastoise shine, and highlight some matchups that’ll have your opponents begging for mercy....

Summary As confirmed in the newest COD POD, the nextCall of Duty: Black Ops 6Zombies map, Citadelle des Morts, is bringing back the Vulture Aid perk. First introduced in Buried back in 2013, this perk allows you to see other perks, wall buys, the Mystery Box, and the Pack-a-Punch machine through walls, while zombies eyes glow much brighter.
