Prior to playing, we had an inkling this horizontal shooter paid homage to Konami’s legendary Parodius. It was the character select screen that gave it away, revealing that the trio of playable canines have their own unique projectile attacks and upgrade paths. Within moments, more similarities come to light, from the bright and vibrant visuals …
The list of publishers behind this week’s Switch eShop assortment reads like a ‘who’s who’ of gaming.

Indie specialists eastasiasoft and Sometimes You have new games out this week too. We can’t forget the little guys. We’re still …
Pierre is an incredibly special detective. He has the ability to find his way through any maze. Labyrinth City: Pierre the Maze Detective is a cross between a platformer game and Where’s Wally, with perhaps a dash of Professor Layton. Based on the children’s activity book, each level is a wide and distracting map full …
The UK top 40 isn’t without a few surprises this week. The main takeaway is that the riveting PS5 exclusive Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart has bagged a second week at no.1. At #2 it’s the surprise return of Minecraft Dungeons, which also manages to top the Switch top 20 due to a minor price …
Amazon Prime Day is upon us, and while gaming deals aren’t quite as bountiful as we hoped, there are still a few bargains to be had. We’ve saved you the hassle of scrolling through pages and pages of dubious-looking third-party Switch accessories to bring you the best deals from today. PlayStation 5 PlayStation 5 DualSense …
It’s a moderately busy week for new releases, presumably because we’re getting two weeks’ worth of games due to the E3 hiatus. On the agenda for this week, there’s SEGA’s Olympic Games Tokyo 2020: The Official Video Game – with an unexpected silly steak, adding daft costumes – Baldur’s Gate spiritual successor Dungeons & Dragons: …
A remaster of SEGA’s Alex Kidd in Miracle World is imminent. If you’re wondering why this 2D platformer, dating back to 1986, is being plucked from gaming’s depths and being given a digital dust off – even gaining a collector’s edition with a bunch of goodies – then chances are you aren’t too familiar with …
This twin-stick shooter stars a group of spiky-haired rebels on hoverboards. Although this does make a pleasant change from the usual non-descript spacecraft, while also recalling the ‘90s CGI show Reboot, it’s the first of many peculiar design choices. Not only do the hoverboards gain momentum, making changing direction tricky, but they also have a …
A real hodgepodge of new releases awaits on the Switch eShop this week – everything from anticipated DLC to a vastly belated UK TV show tie-in. A few E3 surprises too. Those surprises are DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods Part One, available now for £17.99, and Rebellion’s supernatural shooter Strange Brigade. Both ‘shadow dropped’ during …
Following in the footsteps of the Sniper Elite series, Rebellion’s Strange Brigade is out now on Switch. If you’re quick, you can grab a 10% discount, bringing the price down to £22.49. Set in the 1930s, this third-person shooter has a supernatural theme with an enemy assortment including mummies, undead pirates, minotaurs and more. The four …
As revealed during Nintendo’s E3 Direct earlier today – alongside Metroid Dread, Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania, WarioWare: Get It Together and Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp – Koei Tecmo’s FATAL FRAME: Maiden of Black Water is gaining a re-release on Switch later this year. Nobody’s being left out – this remaster is also coming to …
This eerie adventure takes the classic horror movie trope of a somehow creepy, out of tune, children’s music box and runs with the idea. This box encompasses an evil entity – simply referred to as The Presence – which can cause hallucinations, spurring a descent into madness. In place of zombies and other overused horror …
Coming as little surprise, PlayStation 5 exclusive Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is no.1 in the UK all-formats retail chart. GfK (via GI.biz) reports launch week sales of Ratchet’s physical release were similar to New Pokémon Snap and Monster Hunter: Rise on Switch. It also managed to outperform Returnal’s launch week sales three times over, …
We’re surprised to see a sequel to World War Z considering Saber Interactive are also busy working on the similarly themed Evil Dead: The Game. Then again, World War Z did exceed all expectations – pulling in 15 million players – so maybe it isn’t all that much of a surprise after all. This newly announced …
