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…

Roots of Pacha Can’t Come to Switch Soon Enough
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been playing the PC life simulation game, Roots of Pacha. 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…

Microsoft/Activision Merger Takes Giant Leap Forward
After a hasty court case, the Microsoft/Activision merger has taken a giant leap towards being closed. The FTC wanted the merger to be halted, but today Judge Jacqueline Corley allowed the deal to go ahead. The FTC, she said, had failed to show that competition would be lowered because of the merger. In fact, the opposite is true. She said: “This Court’s responsibility in this case is narrow. It is to decide if, notwithstanding these current circumstances, the merger should…

Nearly 90% of Old Games are Unavailable
A new study from the Video Game History Foundation has revealed that nearly 90 percent of games made before 2010 are “out of print”. Only 13 percent of games from before 2010 are still available to purchase today, with that number dropping to a pitiful three percent when looking before 1985. This isn’t good enough. Doesn’t it just perfectly frame the constant battles with the likes of Nintendo over old games? The community protects and preserves thousands of titles that…

Whatever Happened to PSVR2?
I went into Game for the first time in a while yesterday. I was met with a bit of a surprise. PSVR2 – a steal at nearly £600 with a game. I’m not sure who is doing the stealing, but it isn’t whoever bought it. And that’s all good and well. People can buy what they want for whatever price they want. I can call them ridiculous, they can ignore me. It’s the circle of life. But once the initial…

Gylt is out now!
Gylt is a very personal game that comes from the close experience of one relative of a studio member. Her little cousin was suffering from bullying at school. And what’s more terrifying than what’s more realistic and closer to our daily lives. We developed this original idea into a delicate horror game in which our young protagonist, Sally, is looking for her missing cousin, Emily. In her journey she will start running away from bullies and will be taken into…

Is Threads Good For Gaming News?
To cut a long story short, the answer is a resounding no – but only for now. Before we get too much into this topic, it should be said that this is probably an answer that is probably relatively unique to each of us. Depending on how your feed looks – perhaps influenced by what you used Instagram for – you might have a very different answer. But the point remains that you’ll not be able to use Instagram’s (and…
