Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream lands on Nintendo’s older hybrid tomorrow, 16th April, and critic reviews have dropped ahead of the game’s launch. That includes our own, written by the very person putting together this article. The Nintendo…
As part of Overwatch 2’s big rework, every hero will be getting a set of perks—unlockable upgrades that can be chosen throughout the game. Every hero has different traits, but there’s one throughline that some players hope means an end to counterswapping. Counterswapping is a pretty contentious subject in Overwatch.

Activision and Beenox have poured lots of love into Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled and it shows. The game has also received plenty of post-launch support in the form of updates and the Grand Prix mode. Sadly Activision has announced that the next Grand Prix will be the final one.
