Let's take a look at what this demo holds. I'm sure it'll be a great time.

GTA VI is... not here, having been delayed from this day to November. But that just means it's the perfect day to begin a series looking back at the previous game. GTA V has lived a long life thanks to Online, which makes that a perfect place to start. #GTAV #LookBack

The next TT Games LEGO adventure has arrived, bringing a new fun outing in Gotham telling an original story while exploring the Batman franchise's history. LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is an easy one to recommend. #LEGOBatman #Review #Xbox

I don't think that's how it works... Not that I'm complaining, since it allowed me such an easy completion of all three rounds. Speaking of the third round, Rugrats In Paris, why do you have such high expectations of your players to give them such a challenge?

The latest Forza Horizon is here, and it has done everything so great. Truly expanded over the previous game, with a lot more to see and do. Should come as no surprise this is the easiest game I've recommended yet. #ForzaHorizon6 #Review #GamePass

Shrek is 25 today! So what better time to offer thoughts on the main films of the franchise than now? This Moonlit Critbit takes a little look at all four films and what I like best about them all. A happy anniversary Shrek. Here's to the future. #Shrek25 #MoonlitCritbit

Since its release, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream has given me so many great experiences. Now, I'm talking those experiences and why I feel it is an easily recommended experience. #TomodachiLife #NintendoSwitch #Review

Mixtape spoke to me from its announcement, knowing that music can fuel nostalgia. And the narrative of this adventure, of a trio spending their last night together, has captured that so well. An easily recommended experience from Beethoven & Dinosaur. #MixtapeGame #Review #GamePass

A visit to the canal for the first time brings a lot of birds to watch and capture. The geese have their goslings to look after, the ducks enjoy a waterside rest, and some moorhens, too! If only the autofocus didn't hate butterflies... #uk #photography #birds #canal

The final two episodes of Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord's first season have been released, capping off a brilliant introduction to the series. There's a lot that has been delivered here, so take a read of my thoughts. #StarWars #Maul #Disney+ #Review

Well, it's Star Wars Day, so I'm breaking out the prequel trilogy soundtracks to listen to across the day. Might also get the original trilogy on after. It was certainly a great start to the day, too. Those final two episodes of Maul: Shadow Lord were beautiful.

Well, Tomodachi LIfe sure loves making hilarious non-canon romances out of my characters. I've had one marriage that definitely can't happen, and now an officer has fallen for their commander. Can't wait for the first crossover-between-universes romance to happen.

Red among the green. While out on the hill, that was a little theme I thought of while walking around. So I looked for red among green, taking shots of what I found. #Nature #Photography #Red #Leaves

Galactic Racer is offering something new. Not only being the first Star Wars racing game we've had in forever, but also the first original game of the New Republic era. So it got me thinking. What other games would be good to see? #StarWars #NewRepublic #concept

Onto the hills with my camera, where I delighted in taking many shots of the bluebells growing. The best of the lot featured here. And, of course, enjoying that view of Halesowen with the hills as a background. #photography #nature #bluebells #Halesowen

Camp Yog is always a great time. This year is likely no different. Let the chaos begin!

There's a month to go until The Mandalorian and Grogu arrives in cinemas, so what better time to look at the series that started a new era of Star Wars content. Here, I look at all three seasons of The Mandalorian and also The Book of Boba Fett.

First few days on Tomodachi Life have been wild. Though I keep forgetting to capture said wild moments, so have a few tame ones instead. Maybe next time, I'll actually remember to capture some of the more wild moments.

New animated Star Wars series! And it's about Maul and his rise in the criminal underworld! And the first two episodes absolutely got me invested even more than I already was. If that's even possible. So, take a read of my review to see why.

For the first time, I have successfully captured and purified all shadows in Gale of Darkness. Yes, despite playing it many times to completion across the years, I have never captured and purified all the shadows before. Could have been more fanfare for doing so...

It's puzzlin' time! Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times is a nice puzzle adventure game with a wide variety of solutions to puzzles thanks to the combinable spells it has. Developer SlugGlove has cast a lot of great magic to make this an easily recommended experience.

A hybrid of live action and 3D animation, Armorsaurs had me interested in what it could deliver. And, having seen the first season, there is a lot of greatness here. Though one miss which I feel is a pretty big one. Even so, it's strengths are good enough for me to recommend watching.

Most of the way through Armorsaurs, and it's pretty great. Some lovely action and character interactions, with things building to what feels to be a great finale.

Well, that's FireRed completed after such a long grind in Victory Road that Seadra was able to wipe nearly everything on its own. But the others were good support when I needed them. Except for Eevee, who was there as a cheerleader.

My game Rhell is OUT NOW 🧙🪄 My game Rhell, is a creativity based puzzle game where you can use 100,000,000 spells and solve puzzles in your own unique way It's all about having fun and being creative so every puzzle has multiple possible solutions #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

This is a great philosophy that Simon outlines, and is what I feel makes Yogscast Games one of the best indie publishers around. Especially that bit about helping first-time developers find their feet if they have interesting ideas.

A life sim Pokémon game from the perspective of the Pokémon, Pokopia has a lot of charm. Is a nice, relaxing time seeing what the Pokémon are doing within the world. Reshaping that world to how I want. And it is an experience that is easily recommended.

Now that's a crossover I can get behind!

A new Pokémon Presents has showed off a number of reveals, including the big one that is Generation 10. I talk about that reveal along with some of the other reveals of the Presents.

Happy Pokémon Day! 30 years of loveable creatures and grand adventures. Since TPC put out special logos featuring every Pokémon available, I thought I'd put this together to show my favourites. The influence of Colosseum and Gale of Darkness is clear to see. So, what about your favourites?

The third part of my crafting an RPG region from the Halesowen Postal Code Area series is here, with this being the last. Focused on both southern quadrants, a give details on the towns, forests and other areas of this section of the region.

Well, damn. I've been out of Fortnite for a few months now. And then these drop. Looks like I'll be updating Fortnite on the Xbox and getting back to droppin' in.

As I'm working my way through the first three generations of the Pokémon polls on @nintendolife.com, I can't help but see how much influence Colosseum and Gale of Darkness have had on my favourites from them. Espeon - starter. Ludicolo - Let the music play! Even Eevee, which I never would evolve.

Oh, I love it! Love it! Love it! Seeing this on the big screen in May will be so great. I've been excited for The Mandalorian and Grogu since it was announced, but this has increased that a lot. Some great action and lovely interactions. And Zeb's line! Will be so great seeing him in action again.

Happy Valentines to all! To celebrate the day, a new story has been published to Shorts of the Rula. Cloe and Marcus are a couple, with Marcus wanting to try a love of Cloe's. So, they are at a skiing resort for his birthday. Is he in love with skiing as much as Cloe? Find out with Skiing Love.

The remade Erdrick trilogy has been great to play through, but I find myself enjoying Dragon Quest VII Reimagined a lot more. The story structure, battle flow, and design of all elements makes this a great experience and one I can easily recommend. A great start for first-time players of the series.

Yesterday I was out at the Yorkshire Card Show: NEC Takeover. And what a surprise, buying everything but a card. Happy with all that I did get, with that CTR coaster getting me on Nitro-Fueled for the first time in ages to relive some memories.

God damn. The madman actually did it. The butcher of Sapienza has another title to his name.

Just seen that Armorsaurs has been picked up by the BBC for distribution in the UK. So much for it appearing on Disney+ here. Still, not a long wait for it, with it coming on 18/February. Just have to hope iPlayer actually wants to work for me.

An hour with Dragon Quest VII Reimagined and I feel I'm liking it more than 1-3. The more dynamic battles, the great friendship between its leads, and the seeking of adventures and wading through the mysteries of the lost islands helping with that. A lot.

For three weeks of work, this has the beginnings of a great racer. Here's to it seeing a lot more development and becoming a success.

Last week I found this at the retro store in Blackheath Market. I was tempted, but decided not to. Well, the temptation returned and I've got it. Time to get it into my 3DS and see just what this Power Rangers game holds. It most definitely is morphin time.

And Dragon Quest II HD-2D Remake is now complete. Again via easy mode and invincibilty for the final boss. I never had such issues with the final boss of the third game. It felt so much fairer than both 1 and 2. Attacks dealing 200+ damage on all party members being one such unfairness.

I saw Power Rangers Super Legends on the DS for £3 at the Blackheath Market today, and damn was I tempted to get it.

Xbox have shown a deep dive into four games with the latest Developer Direct, with some grand worlds for players to explore. Here, I talk of all four games shown off in the showcase. Naturally, it should be no surprise which game had me most hyped.

Hell yes! This is looking to be a great one. Coruscant intrigue, lightsaber action, and just so. Much. Maul. And what a bonus that it premieres in Star Wars Month. One more article during that event month. It's looking a good month.

🚨GO KART ISLAND IS OUT NOW ON SWITCH!🚨 An open-world, story based kart racer comes to Nintendo Switch! WITH A COW! 🐮🏁 Grab a copy NOW with 20% off! 🥳 $7.99 / €7.19 / £6.39 🇺🇸 tinyurl.com/564pkrdj 🇬🇧 tinyurl.com/54ryafjw #indiegames #indiegaming #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #nintendo #switch

First seeing this during its release on Steam last year, it is now also available on Steam. So, in giving Go Kart Island a drive, I fell in love with the variety and humour it offers. It's an easy recommended one, with my experiences showing why.

It's a new year, and a time for hoping for new things. And one of the things I hope for is new additions to #MarioKartWorld. And one wish that I hope for is an adventure mode to provide a new way to explore this open world. So take a read of my latest concept article.

I've not really followed the Truck Driver franchise since finding out Soedesco were working on a second game. And now I find out there's a third that has already been released! Well, I think it's time to dive back into the franchise. Soon.
