WarioWare is a very niche experience - you either love it, or love to hate it. I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with the game. They hold my attention for a while, but it quickly falls off for me as other, more interesting games become available. For my 9 year old son Lochlan, however, it is a much different story. Still, there are things to love about the WarioWare games, and I fully expected this one to ...

I’ve never been a huge fan of 2D Super Mario Bros. games. I’ve dabbled in all of them, and even enjoyed a course or two, but it’s been a while since I actually finished one of those games from the beginning to the end. Super Mario Bros. Wonder is hitting differently for me. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m getting older and the simplicity of 2D intrigues me, or if Nintendo is doing something wonderful – ...

It is the nature of modern games that they can change, and quickly. Luckily Sonic Frontiers is all about quick. Okay, puns aside, this is a game that has changed a lot since I reviewed it back in January, and not least because of the free Final Horizon DLC released at the end of last month.

Video games tend not to be simple stories of home life. Guys with guns sell so much better. But unlike film and television, where there’s a healthy market for things that escue the blockbuster, in gaming not so much.
