Give a big hand to Super Adventure Hand! – a new 3D platformer from DevM Games, creators of Moving Out.

On paper, Wanted: Dead puts a lot of ticks in a lot of boxes. Originating from Japan, it’s a gory third-person shooter with hack ‘n slash elements, blessed with a smattering of silliness and a bunch of mini-games that wouldn’t look out of place in SEGA’s Yakuza series. It also reminded me of SEGA’s overlooked …

Peculiarly, it seems that Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 hype has had a knock-off effect on the Switch eShop. This week is crammed with new releases, with publishers keen to get their new titles out the door before these two juggernauts arrive, while next week is looking quieter than usual.

If you’ve seen the 2020 Taiwanese horror flick on which this first-person adventure is based, you’ll know that it centres around a drama production gone awry. Against better judgement, a group of university students re-enact the final moments of a tragic suicide that occurred on the titular scenic bridge. Word has it a heartbroken female …
The Bandai-Namco published Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon has shot to the top of the all formats retail chart, quite possibly giving the long-running series its first ever no.1.
