Guide Zelda: Breath Of The Wild: Guardians - How To Kill Guardians
Hunting the Hunters
As their name suggests, the Guardians found in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild are not supposed to be killing machines that threaten civilisation.

Ex-SNK-developed fighter gets back up after Kickstarter KO

Poll What Wii U Ports Would You Like to Play on Nintendo Switch?
Filling out the release schedule
The Nintendo Switch has had a retail release this week, albeit one that may not set too many pulses racing - LEGO City: Undercover. We're still rattling through it for review, but it's interesting in that it's a port of a former Wii U exclusive; we should probably expect that to be a trend over the next year or two...
Review Alpha Mission II (Switch eShop / Neo Geo)
Vertically challenging
As one of the earliest titles for the Neo Geo, Alpha Mission II doesn't exactly dazzle in terms of presentation. Smooth scrolling and some catchy tunes aside, it looks like a relic of the 1980s rather than an example of how SNK's Neo Geo hardware revolutionised the arcade and home console arena in the '90s. However, beyond the...

BMXcellent
2D BMX games have been relatively popular since the turn of the century - take RedLynx's excellent Trials series, for instance.

Review Graceful Explosion Machine (Switch eShop)
Quite a GEM
Nowadays, it seems to be rather common for developers to lose focus of what they set out to do when they start making a particular game.

'Tis only a flesh wound
One of the welcome (and rather odd) additions to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was that of shield surfing, wherein you can ride any shield in your inventory down any slope for some radical boarding action. It's admittedly an easily forgotten feature with the breadth of things to do in the game, but it can be fun...

Many of you will no doubt remember the panic that erupted about a week ago, where an evidently misprinted box for Lego City Undercover mentioned that the game would require an eye-watering 13 GB install to play.
