Following on from the recent Unpacking and Exo One, Townscaper is the latest zen-like experience to grace Xbox Game Pass. Not only is it even more relaxed than those two, but it’s also far simpler. Yes, even simpler than Unpacking – a game centred around unpacking boxes, unsurprisingly enough. In Townscaper, pressing the A button …
It’s a case of quality over quantity for this week’s Switch eShop round-up. Fewer games than we usually see on the service, but plenty to entice. Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX may become a surprisingly strong seller – it’s reviewing well, with scores including 4.5/5 from Digitally Downloaded and 4/5 from The Gamer, plus …
From the moment the day-glo logo flies across the screen, accompanied by the criminally catchy synth pop-rock soundtrack, it’s clear that we’re back in the ’90s – and I am sold.

This week’s UK top 40 physical sales chart sees two new arrivals. Cricket 22: Official Game of the Ashes, published by Maximum Games, took #30 while Nintendo’s Big Brain Academy: Brain vs Brain got off to an even slower start, debuting at #36. Over in the top ten, FIFA 22 re-takes the top spot to …
This time last year, the world was counting down the hours until Cyberpunk 2077. One of the most anticipated games of all time, it promised much but delivered little. Well, outside of amusing glitch compilation videos. This year, Halo Infinite fills the same slot – another big-budget blockbuster with a troubled development. Early impressions are …
Our Christmas gift guide for this year (hello, by the way!) begins with something you may want to grab for yourself and admire before the big day.

The Switch often plays catch-up when it comes to multiformat releases, with many games trailing behind their PS4/Xbox One counterparts. In a surprise twist, the Switch eShop is the only place where you’ll find Beyond A Steel Sky this week – versions for other formats have been pushed back until 7th December. We imagine it’ll …
It must be devastating for all involved when a game is cancelled. All that effort, brainstorming, and hard work with nothing to show for it. The case of Westone’s Clockwork Aquario is a tad more understandable than most cancellations though. It was conceived as an arcade game, running on SEGA’s System 18 hardware, and due …
Back in 2003, UK-based Revolution Software was challenged with bringing Broken Sword into the third dimension, aiming to broaden its appeal to the PlayStation 2 generation. It was a task far harder than it may sound – few point ‘n click adventure games had made the jump to 3D at the time, and it’s likely …
The Switch shows no signs of slowing, with the new Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle being a big seller during Black Friday – which, for some reason, lasted almost a fortnight this year.займы денег быÑтро без процентов As such, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe reclaims the UK top spot.

It comes as a surprise to discover a last-gen version of Exo One is available. Putting a shape-shifting UFO at your control, it entails crossing vast distances of interplanetary terrain at sound-barrier breaking speeds. As you hurtle through electrical storms, skim across oceans and soar above clouds, it often comes incredibly close to achieving photorealism …
It’s the quietest week for new Switch releases in some time. The calm before next week’s storm, it would seem – Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain, Disney Magical World 2: Enchanted Edition, Asterix & Obelix: Slap them All, Beyond a Steel Sky and a quartet of Danganronpa titles are all due for release before …
