Let’s take a look at each, and see why these are magnificent additions to your Playmobil collection. City Action Fire Truck Included: 2…

Final Fantasy on Xbox? I’ll Believe It When I See It
Final Fantasy XIV is coming to Xbox – and all it took was a decade. I don’t believe in looking a gift horse in the mouth. This is amazing news. But it was the secondary part of this announcement that was more interesting to me. As part of the announcement, it was said this was the beginning of a bigger presence from the publisher on Xbox, and in particular Final Fantasy was mentioned. This comes after years of confusion around…

Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara
If you’ve played Summer at Mara, you know that the colourful game was loved by thousands, providing a great farming simulation / life simulation experience. The game was colourful and fun, full of unique and interesting characters. While the gameplay might have felt a bit repetitive as it released in a year full of similar style games, it was still a great experience, and one I really enjoyed. When Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara was announced, I was…

Xbox Is Killing Time Til Acti is Bought
There’s been some doom and gloom this week and, as usual, it’s around Xbox. Revenue from Microsoft hardware sales plummeted by 13 per cent. And we should apparently be very, very worried. I’m kidding – it doesn’t matter at all to customers. So long as the product is out there and Microsoft is backing it, why should we worry about the specifics of whether sales on hardware is up or down? It’s console warring for the modern age. Instead of…

Let’s Talk Project Q (And PS5 Pro)
PlayStation have a bunch of new hardware on the horizon and it’s a mixed bag. From the confusing Project Q to console behemoths, it’s going to be an expensive 18 months for fans of the brand. The main focus of this article is on the ugly thing in the picture above. I was pretty vocal about the poor design of the PlayStation 5. It’s been hidden away from view in our house since the day it launched. The Project Q…

Super Mario Movie 5” Wave 2 Figures
The second wave of Super Mario Movie toys have dropped, and the quality of wave 2 is on par with that in wave one. We saw these at Target in the United States while on vacation, and apparently they are super popular because there were only a few left in total. Thankfully, we have them, so let’s take a look. Each figure in the Wave 2 sets all come with an accessory like the original. Cat Mario comes with a…

Goodbye Xbox Live Gold?
It could be the end of an era – Xbox Live Gold could become a new tier of Game Pass called “Core”. And while you’ll still need it for online multiplayer, the monthly game selection will be replaced with a library of 25 games. Although it may be that the catalogue continues to grow. And obviously this rumour, coming via Xbox Info Cafe, wouldn’t be the biggest Xbox news of the week even if it’s true. After Sony accepted a…

Similar to a Stardew Valley, Roots of Pacha is set in the Stone Age, where you play alongside your adoptive tribe to help them move through time. There is an overarching story here, but what grabbed me was the gameplay loop. Let’s take a look. Roots of Pacha has all the things you would expect from a farming / life simulation game. You can…
