I just gave the Nintendo Switch 2 a go, and found the best demo of the new hardware in the most unexpected place
Today, I visited the Nintendo Switch 2 experience in London. It was a really pleasant atmosphere; lots of kids of all ages visibly brimming with excitement to get their hands on the Switch 2 for the first time. Roars of excitement as gaggles of mates played the abysmally-named Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch…

Talisman: The Magical Quest 5th Edition Board Game Review – IGN
Questing through dangerous dungeons in search of loot and magical artifacts goes together with board games like peanut butter and chocolate, and the Talisman: The Magical Quest Game series was one of the first to make that combination so compelling. The first edition of Talisman was released back in 1983 by Games Workshop – now…
Space Marine 2 Steam Deck Review (in Progress) – GOTY Contender, but Play It Elsewhere for Now – TouchArcade
While most fans have been looking forward to Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 or basically a sequel to Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine for many years, I wasn’t really aware of the first game until I played Total War: Warhammer and was looking into other Warhammer 40,000 games.

F1 25 hands-on preview, part one: MyTeam 2.0 goes full team boss by “retiring” the owner driver
The MyTeam mode of the last few F1 games has been arguably the bit that’s most easy to skip or just forget exists. You’d certainly not have missed much new stuff by doing so.

A Minecraft Movie Has Some Fantastic Things To Say About Toxic Masculinity
A Minecraft Movie is fine. It’s not a surprise subversive treat like The Lego Movie, nor an unwatchable dirge, but much like 2023’s The Super Mario Bros.

The Last Of Us, Season 2: The Kotaku Review
In the years since The Last of Us Part II launched in 2020, I’ve noticed a fascinating phenomenon when people talk about Naughty Dog’s divisive sequel. Some people talk about Ellie’s revenge story in ways that seem incongruous with the game I experienced. Where I would call The Last of Us Part II a beautiful…
