Falling in love with the Nintendo 3DS 10 years late

 Posted on July 3, 2023  |  4 minutes  |  840 words  |  Mittie Cheatwood

The 3DS apparently released on my birthday in 2011. While I sat in a pub with a gruesomely sticky carpet and drank Strongbow with my friends, people in Japan shuffled, rather than ran, to buy Nintendo's latest offering, which would reach the West about a month later. I had to look that up, because just like on the day of its release, the 3DS passed me by entirely, released during a time when my relationship with videogames was as much like my relationship with money and consumer products on the whole - occasionally complicated, mostly non-existent.

Jurassic World Evolution 2's latest DLC adds dinos from Camp Cretaceous animated series

 Posted on July 3, 2023  |  2 minutes  |  355 words  |  Mittie Cheatwood

Jurassic World Evolution 2, Frontier Developments' dinosaur-themed park management sequel, has just received a second helping of paid DLC, this time drawing inspiration from Netflix's Camp Cretaceous animated series. Jurassic World Evolution 2's Camp Cretaceous Dinosaur Pack (not to be confused with last year's Early Cretaceous Pack) is available now on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, adding two new dinosaurs - one courtesy of Dr. Henry Wu - two new herbivore variants, and eight skins.

Lair of the Clockwork God review - platform meets adventure with hilarious consequences

 Posted on July 3, 2023  |  5 minutes  |  1007 words  |  Trudie Dory

Bottomless wit and some inspired design choices make this genre mash-up a joy to play. Heh, I'm still smiling thinking about Lair of the Clockwork God. It's so cheeky. I love how it does everything in service of a good joke. It's even prepared to let you get the wrong idea about something so it can pull an 'a-ha!' moment on you later on. I'd been planning to tell the game off for something in the review until I realised it had all been a big joke and I felt silly. [Read More]

Page 1 of 2 Next page Arise, amnesiac hero, the time has come! For you are the Chosen One, and it's down to you to defeat the eight guardians of the power of Arcana so that you can rule the realm. I'm deeply disappointed that a story so distressingly normal could emerge from the studio behind Deadly Premonition. Lord of Arcana very consciously casts itself in the Phantasy Star/Monster Hunter mould of multiplayer-friendly monster-slaying action games. [Read More]

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle review

 Posted on July 3, 2023  |  9 minutes  |  1843 words  |  Fernande Dalal

This wonky crossover is the unlikely source of a superbly designed tactical combat challenge as well as a charmingly silly adventure. Rabbid Peach is the game character of the century. One of Ubisoft's madcap, bug-eyed mascots dressed in Princess Peach cosplay, she fuses the anarchic irreverence of the former with the queenly preening of the latter in a squat, sassy bundle of diva delight. Beat a boss and she frantically fires off selfies, attempting to catch its demise in the background. [Read More]

Mass Effect Legendary Edition hasn't fixed this infinite Paragon/Renegade point glitch

 Posted on July 3, 2023  |  3 minutes  |  435 words  |  Arica Deslauriers

A classic cheese to infinitely boost your Paragon or Renegade score in the original Mass Effect remains intact in its new Legendary Edition remaster. As resurfaced by Kotaku, this exploit is found on the planet of Noveria - so if you want to take advantage of having a full goodie-two-shoes reputation gauge, head there as quickly as you can. Having a beefy Paragon or Renegade points bar is important throughout Mass Effect, as it'll allow you to resolve certain situations through dialogue and without things automatically playing out as a bloodbath.

Previous Nintendo systems have included a log for all games played - and similar functions exist on other consoles, too. Now, after people have had Switch for more than 10 days, the function has appeared. Simply go to your profile, and where a game previously said "first played nine days ago", it now lists your approximate playtime. [Read More]
