There are few video games on the market that can really give you a strong feeling of relaxation, but farming simulation and that ilk of game often rise to the top and become the ultimate relaxation experience. Until Friday, that game over the last year or two has been Stardew Valley, the perfect way to blow off 30 minutes of my day while relaxing, not really worrying to much about what's going on outside of the game, or within the game for that matter. Then Friday happened, and Animal Crossing release, and I have a new favourite relaxation game!

If you’re hyped too and you don’t mind “spoilers”, you can check out Abdallah’s…

So the Indie world showcase has come and gone, here is a breakdown of what was announced. Overall I think a decent showing with a few standouts but nothing earth shattering right now. Clearly some great filler games coming this year with almost all of them coming to Switch console first.

There are only three more days until Animal Crossing New Horizons comes out! So what’s the latest news? How am I feeling about the game? Let’s talk about New Horizons some more!

It's official! Today, Microsoft unveiled the official Xbox Series X tech specs, as well as a few articles to decipher the specs and technical capabilities of the next-gen console. Until now there was plenty of speculation and a few hints and teases about the relative power of the Series X and what it will be able to do. For those of us that love quantitative data, however, there was precious little information to go on - until now! Let's take a look at the official specs that will be offered with the Day One Xbox Series X!

With the rapid spread of the Coronavirus, or COVID-19 as it is now referred, we as an outlet hope the gaming public takes every necessary precaution to not only protect themselves, but to protect those around them too. While some may pass this virus off as a common flu, we know by now that this is far from the truth. When people are asked to quarantine, stay home from work, and avoid contact with others, it is not because governments and health professionals are worried about middle aged gamers - it's because they are worried about it spreading to the ...

Did anyone else the 'amusement park' - actually just a small collection of fair rides - on the map?! Let's dive into three new franchises we ...

We've reviewed a number of PowerA products over the past few months, but just after Christmas, our good friends sent us a special Nintendo Switch Lite carrying case (review) and a GameCube style controller. In general, third party controllers - even those licenced by Nintendo - can be incredibly hit or miss, but I won't bury the lead on this one - the PowerA Wireless GameCube Controller is fantastic; it's so good, in fact, that I went out a bought a second one!
