The Legend of Zelda games are no strangers to recreating the universe in a similar yet distinct way. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is another one of these adventures into an alternate timeline. Nintendo’s seemingly immortal series receives another refresh from devs, Koei Tecmo and AAA Games Studio, the creators

“Chicken Run Eggstraction” is the next great escape by Aardman’s flock of fowls. I flew the coop on Nintendo Switch 2 and found the journey to freedom to be chaotic and charming, not always reaching the heights I was hoping, but it’s great family fun all the same. Based around
I love visiting museums, the sense of wonder you get when you see the fossil of a dinosaur that lived millions of years ago, or touch an asteroid, a fragment of rock that travelled an incredible distance through an unimaginably vast universe before crashing into Earth. But that isn’t all,
Created by the legendary Charles M. Schulz, the Peanuts franchise began in 1950 as a four-panel newspaper comic strip, then expanded into comic books and later into a cartoon series and movies. The heart and soul of Peanuts has always been Snoopy, the beloved pet dog of Charlie Brown and

Do you know the feeling you get when you pick up a huge, epic open-world game, just can’t wait to play it, and then everyday life barges in? Hours just dwindle away, and the game just sits there. For me, one of those games is Star Wars Outlaws. I started
Truck driving sims can be strangely addictive, giving players a chance to take control of heavy rigs, navigate tricky roads, and enjoy the satisfaction of parking a massive vehicle with precision. With that in mind, I jumped into Truck Driving on Nintendo Switch 2, hoping for a relaxing, on-the-go experience.
In 2022, Kirby and the Forgotten Land wasn’t a platformer; it was a statement. It showed that Kirby could not only exist in a 3D world but also flourish with a bright, beautiful adventure and was, in all likelihood, an instant classic. Now, thanks to the release of the Nintendo
Published by Ultimate Games and developed by Turborilla, ‘Mad Skills BMX 2: Bike Game’ was originally released in 2017 as a mobile game and is the sequel to 2013’s Mad Skills BMX Blitz. The addictive BMX-themed mobile game now makes its way to Nintendo Switch, simply titled Mad Skills BMX
When I first got my hands on ‘Drag x Drive’ at the Nintendo Switch 2 hands-on event earlier this year, I walked away feeling quietly excited. Developed by Nintendo Entertainment, the game immediately stood out as one of the boldest showcases of the system’s new Joy-Con 2 “mouse-mode” controls. Playful,

Back in early 2023, Wild Hearts was released with bold ambitions: a direct rival to Monster Hunter, built around elemental monsters, feudal Japan-inspired biomes, and a unique, gadget-driven combat system known as “Karakuri.” MKAU’s PS5 review at the time praised its creative mechanics and the visual scale of its Kemono
It’s been more than a decade since I used to enjoy watching YouTubers freak out while playing ‘Amnesia: The Dark Descent’, a game that revolutionised the horror genre for many people, including myself. Then, in 2015, Frictional Games released their next game, ‘Soma’, one I sadly never got around
For years, Donkey Kong has lived in the shadow of his platforming peers, occasionally leaping into the spotlight but never quite holding it. That changes now. With Donkey Kong Bananza, Nintendo has created something bold, beautiful, and bananas in the best way possible. This isn’t just DK’s return to 3D,
