Mini Review Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl - Not So Smashing
Something's missing
Starting up the first match with four Nigel Thornberry's battling it out was a momentous occasion. Growing up with classic Nickelodeon cartoons, this was a nostalgic moment for us, as we watched four Nigel's belly flop across the colourful stage.

Review Xuan Yuan Sword 7 - A Huge Surprise Hit
A love letter to the original Xbox days of gaming
These days, games get so bogged down in their ideas that they lose their central idea. Take Assassin's Creed Valhalla for example. The game is fantastic but is accompanied by an extraordinary amount of filler, and the result is that the percentage of people who made it to the end is shockingly low...

Hardware Review 8BitDo Media Remote For Xbox - Cheap, Cheerful And Stylish
With two different versions to choose from
We've long been fans of 8BitDo's products (their SN30 Pro Cloud Gaming controller is excellent), so we had little doubt their new line of Xbox media remotes would be worth a purchase. They look stylish, are available at a good price and do the job well — but if you've never owned an Xbox Media Remote...

Mini Review Lost In Random - A Cult Classic In The Making
We're all mad down here
Lost in Random feels like the sort of game that would have come out 15 years ago. That's not to say it feels dated, not at all, but instead it comes from an era where developers took risks with unique and interesting IPs. It's the sort of game you could imagine stumbling upon in your local video game store with tantalising...

Mini Review Kitaria Fables - Charming World Let Down By A Monotonous Grind
Cat got your tongue?
On the surface, Kitaria Fables looks to be a charming mixture of Stardew Valley and Diablo. Blending elements of the iconic farming simulator with the ferocious action of the latter is a great setup.

Review Sonic Colors: Ultimate - A Rollercoaster Thrill Ride
Faster than fast, quicker than quick
Sonic has had a tremendously troubled past. Outside of Sonic Mania, the series has hit a lull for several years now with lacklustre titles such as Sonic Forces and Sonic Lost World - the poor hedgehog can't catch a break.
