This again? It’s that time of year again: a large publication has had decided that kids play too many games, and this time it’s a COVID-flavoured special, courtesy of the New York Times, designed to make parents feel guilty for letting their energy-filled children play video games after being cooped up all day doing online […]

With the Nintendo Switch being the system that it is, a fairly underpowered one when compared to its industry rivals, the term ‘impossible port’ is being branded about like never before. In recent years we’ve seen a number of big, super-ambitious titles get squeezed onto Nintendo’s little tablet – […]

‘Dungeon136’ revealed. We’re used to seeing brand new tricks and secrets being discovered in Zelda: Breath of the Wild on a surprisingly regular basis, but here’s something a little different.
