Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon is a far superior version than Pokémon Sun and Moon with improved mechanics and some fun features plus new enemies to keep you invested. It’s definitely a title for fans but is also one that is accessible by newcomers, especially if you want to know what the Pokémon craze is all about. At the end of the day, Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon takes this franchise to new heights with fun gameplay and decent graphics.

Finding Frankie is an original take on the horror genre that sees you sprinting and platforming towards the finish line and away from menacing mascots. Who knew combining the games of Fall Guys and the terror of Five Nights At Freddy’s would create such an ambitious, engaging, parkour inducing time? While the challenge is primitive and the ambition overall leaves some aspects of the game not feeling as fleshed out, Finding Frankie is definitely a game that everyone should at least try.

Compared to some of the other DLC's for the Call of Duty series, I think Call of the Dead is far my favourite because of the intricacies of the map that pay homage to all things Romero. With new weapons, enemies and some great team action to be found, Call of the dead is a must have download from XBox Live and really goes above and beyond the current DLC maps.

A fun and surprisingly deep racing game that pays homage to titles like the early Gran Turismo games.

If you love open-world games with strong narratives and plenty of sandbox distractions, give L.A. Noire an honest shot – its aging elements are greatly offset by its ambition in every gameplay and aesthetic department, and its (still) unmatched facial animations which bring life to every interrogation and character interaction. For returning fans, if you’re craving a reason to jump back into the feeling of a noir detective setting or want a break from all the multiplayer releases, L.A. Noire still holds up.

V-Racer: Hoverbike on PSVR2 is a fast, intuitive, and highly polished futuristic racer that shines through its excellent controls, strong sense of speed, and generous customization options. While the track variety could use a bit more visual diversity, the overall package delivers consistently smooth performance, addictive progression, and surprisingly deep VR immersion. It’s one of the platform’s most engaging arcade racers and an easy pick for anyone craving high-velocity sci-fi racing in VR.

Considering Battlesector has just celebrated its fourth birthday, Deeds of the Fallen makes it clear that there’s still some life left in the old strategy yet. Deeds of the Fallen was released alongside a brand new game mode, Crusade, further expanding the options available to solo players, and there’s still more content promised on the horizon. Lost in the endless sea of Warhammer games? If you want all the thrills of the tabletop experience, Battlesector, and in particular, Deeds of the Fallen, is the best place to start.

Mable & The Wood on PC is really enjoyable at times and very frustrating at others. Furthermore, Mable & The Wood caused a full cycle of emotions while playing through the main story.

The Nintendo Switch version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a technical marvel. How Bethesda managed to cram such a huge, intricate game world onto a tiny little game cartridge blows my mind. Yet what impresses me most is just how well Skyrim works on the Nintendo Switch, both in terms of graphics and gameplay. The Switch version runs well and looks comparable to the console versions, but the inherent pick-up-and-play nature of the Switch perfectly suits the distractible, open-world gameplay of Skyrim. The tacked on motion-controls and Amiibo support is disappointing, yet easy to ignore, as is the texture pop-in and typical Bethesda-game scripting issues. It may be showing its age a bit, but if for some reason you are yet to play Skyrim, or you’re simply looking to replay one of the best RPG’s of all time, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on Switch is a great package.

In the end, MMA is a well made game that although may be missing some of the fighters due to UFC is still quite a competent attempt by EA Sports.

Game of Thrones Episode 1: Iron from Ice is an engaging game that is steeped in the mythology of George R. Martin's epic series.

Ultimately, Whisker Squadron Survivor shines as a perfect pick-up-and-play experience on the Steam Deck. It’s a game that doesn’t take itself too seriously, offering a delightful blend of arcade-style action, roguelite progression, and a charming aesthetic. So, if you’re looking for a fun, addictive, and visually appealing space shooter to enjoy on the go, grab your Steam Deck and prepare for some purrfectly chaotic space battles. You might just find yourself addicted to the charmingly frantic feline frenzy.

Grow Home ticks all the right boxes for fun and escapism on the PC in this enjoyable arcade sandbox title.

For a casual fan, NHL 14 offers a good time in its main game modes and hours of additional fun with the NHL 94 anniversary modes. However fans of a realistic hockey experience might be a little let down by the big slide into arcade action and the main game modes offering little upgrade over last years version.

It’s got a few issues, mainly the voice overs in the early couple episodes, and a few of the decisions feeling a bit like filler, but this game succeeded in what it set out to do: Be a fun, funny action-filled adventure through space. If you love the comics, films or TV show, this is worth checking out. It’s all the characters you love portrayed very well and you’re in for a blast.

All in all, it’s easy to say it’s the best fitness boxing game yet. It might not do anything spectacular or innovative– it’d be fun to have an opponent to spar with, or even a punching bag to see bounce off each hit– but it gets a sweat up and your heart pumping. It’s boxing and it’ll keep you fit, simple as that.

My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery respects younger gamers well and complements the My Little Pony Lore!

In the end, Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm channels its inner Legend of Zelda (quite well) and if you don’t own a Nintendo Switch, this game is a satisfying clone on the Xbox Series X for next-gen gamers looking for a similar experience. All in all, a decent game from start to finish with a running time of 20 hours, unless you become more engaged in side quests and of course Arcadian Tarock. Recommended.

Layers of Fear 2 may not be the quintessential horror-puzzle spookathon, but it’s certainly a thrilling, claustrophobic ghost story that easily holds its own. It’s at times uneven, and the puzzling isn’t as interesting as the backdrop, but for sheer storytelling prowess alone, it’s definitely worth setting sail on this ghost ship.

Team Ninja have succeeded in bringing back Ryu in 2021 and while it doesn’t offer anything new, this collection is a lean mean fighting machine and with the inclusion of 4K graphics running at 60 frames per second, revisiting Ninja Gaiden is a blast from the past with a modern twist and while the first game feels a little dated, this collection excels with the later two games.

I really enjoyed Scars Above on the XSX and it was an enjoyable experience from start to finish, without the grind that are sometimes associated with third person games. Overall Scars Above delivers a strong narrative with playable gaming mechanics that is visually presented well, particularly with its alien world and its diverse denizens. So if you’re looking for a healthy distraction that provides the right amount of challenges, then look to the skies with Scars Above.

Trial and error stealth muddies the otherwise crystal clear waters of this endearing puzzle platformer.

Even considering the occasional bugs, the game is more than worthy of your time if you’re a fan of the franchise.

All in all, Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs is an enjoyable game set in a fun and colourful universe!

Ultimately Turnip Boy Robs a Bank is a fun twist on a familiar theme. Sure we have some hyper realistic games that allow you to be part of a criminal gang performing heists… but why play those when you can be a cute little Turnip working for some pickles firing your cactus and shaking down customers at Mr Stinky’s bank. We may not have Commander Keen or Jazz Jackrabbit anymore… but when we can still have games like Turnip Boy Robs a Bank… I’d say variety in gaming is still alive and well. If you like your life of crime with a touch of humour and edibles… grab a copy of Turnip Boy Robs a Bank!

Cloudbuilt is fun once you get the hang of things. A good challenge for those that do not frustrate easily.

A fantastic combination of horror, combat and puzzle solving elements, Withering Rooms is one nightmare that you may not wish to wake from!

How the game plays may be a little bit gimmicky and the visuals a bit confusing, but Spiderman Unlimited feels and looks like a true Spidey game.
