Coming out in February. We honestly can’t believe 2003 was 21 years ago — the GameCube was proudly at the front of our shelves, and Super Smash Bros. Melee was the ultimate party game. But Open Roads, the next game to be published by Annapurna Interactive, looks back at the mid-2000s with a warm, nostalgic,…
What’s on the cards for you? Welcome to another edition of What Are You Playing? where we all get to chat about our gaming plans for the weekend! Before we get into that good stuff though, let’s take a look at what went down in Nintendo land this week. We were treated to the release…
Tread carefully, Link. Early last year, there was a rumour going around about LEGO working on a Legend of Zelda ‘Deku Tree’ set. Now, in an update, the well-known Lego leaker and Instagram user ‘1414falconfan’ is claiming the set will arrive this September and will contain 2,500 pieces.

Some may call it “filler”; we prefer “a whole page to make terrible jokes that are tangentially related to the content of the mag”. We don’t have pages on the internet,…
Update ahoy! Nintendo is in the habit of updating Splatoon 3‘s battle stages every now and then. Why wouldn’t it be? However, Splatoon is a series drenched in lore, so whenever a stage is suddenly missing from the daily rotation, there has to be a reason for it. And so, once again, we are going…
piAKchu. We have seen a good few Pokémon clones over the years, but very few have been quite as, ermm, out there as Palworld, the creature-collecting RPG… with guns.
