Nintendo Switch has now become the home of some pretty interesting free-to-play games. Fornite is, of course, is the top free-to-play game on the Switch. Its a lot of fun too. I also like Fallout Shelter. There are other free-to-play games but those are ones that have my attention. Joining the ranks of free-to-play on the Switch eshop today is Paladins! A pay version of Paladins came to the Nintendo Switch this summer and today, a free-to-play version is available.…

No Man's Sky is launching today on Xbox One - Friday in Europe - alongside the latest expansions, NEXT. With this update, the developers behind this troubled title are looking to right the ship, and provide an experience players thought they were getting when the game originally launched on the PS4 a few years ago. With promises of great things - and some good early impressions from those who have had the opportunity to see it, No Man's Sky has a new lease on life, and we are really excited to try it out.

If you haven't heard of Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, do yourself a favour and hop over to our review and give it a read. Recently, Ubisoft - in partnership with Nintendo - released a brand new DLC pack title Donkey Kong Adventure, and it was just as good as the original release.

If you've never played Sonic Mania before today, then there is a whole new package for you to purchase that includes the base game, and the all new Encore Mode. Welcome to Sonic Mania Plus, the most up to date Sonic Mania experience on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. For the purpose of this review and impressions article, we played the game on Nintendo Switch. You can read our full review here! We scored the game 8.5/10, and had this to say about it:

The overall challenge you will face when playing Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker on Nintendo Switch is pretty minimal. There are a few challenging levels if you are attempting to collect all the gems, complete the secret objective, find Pixel Toad, and beat the time challenge, but overall, the game itself is pretty easy, earning respect and love from players because of the charming visuals and unique gameplay mechanics. But Nintendo added some post game content that will really push you to your limits, and some would say this is where the real game begins!

If you've been watching YouTuber's play Captain Toad Treasure Tracker on Nintendo Switch, you might have seen that some of their Toad's are running around with a crown upon their heads. And further, you might wonder how they earned those crowns. It wasn't an easy task, I can assure you of that, but one that was rewarding none-the-less. As many YouTubers will agree, this is easily the hardest level in the entire game. Collect 5000 coins, and complete 50 maze like levels. That's right, we are talking about Mummy-Me Maze Forever!

If you haven't played Shadow of War, the fantastic Lord of the Rings franchise sequel title to Shadow of Mordor, you are really missing out on a fantastic experience. When we reviewed the game on the Xbox One X earlier this year - which we really loved! - we commented on the vast number of improvements over the original release, including a better stealth system, and a overhauled Nemesis system. Today, Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment announced a host of new fixes for the game, which you can read below!

When you hear about video games based on movies, it's not uncommon to instantly assume what you are about to play will be complete trash. And if I'm being honest, the only reason why I requested this game in the first place was for my kids to have an opportunity to play it, while I did my review. This review request was driven by my kids, but I'm thankful they pushed me towards it because Hotel Transylvania 3: Monsters Overboard is a fantastic experience on the system.

After all these years, Galaga is still a popular game. People want to play Galaga. People even want to play Galaga clones. The space shooter genre is still fun and addictive. Yes, these are pick and play games. These are the types of games that you play for a little bit, stop, go play something else, and then come back to them again later. Galaga and its clones (when done right) are short fun. Enter Super Destronaut DX for the…

If you've owned a Nintendo Switch for some time, you've likely played a fair bit of Super Mario Odyssey, Nintendo return to 3D Mario platform gaming. And the wait was definitely worth it, as Super Mario Odyssey was one of the best Mario games ever released. Captain Toad on Nintendo Switch really wanted to take advantage of that, so instead of having 4 levels from Super Mario 3D World - like on the Wii U - the Switch Captain Toad release has given us 4 Super Mario Odyssey levels instead, from the Cascade Kingdom, Metro Kingdom, Luncheon Kingdom, and Sand Kingdom.
