Review Expeditions: A MudRunner Game (Switch) - Performance Bumps Can't Run This Sim Off The Road
Fancy a winch? Oh, you call it a shift? Same difference, baby.
When we first got wind that Expeditions: A MudRunner Game was on its way to Nintendo Switch, we gotta admit, we were a little bit surprised. This new entry in Saber Interactive's superb off-road sim series takes the whole mud-running malarkey to a new level, with larger maps, loads more...

Chants of Sennarrgh

Despite the highly advanced and amazing intergalactic society that mankind has built, to live in this universe is to live in a bleak place...
A great game to play elsewhere
Note: This Cloud Version of A Plague Tale: Requiem was tested on 450Mb AT&T Broadband over WIFI, with the router directly adjacent to the Switch dock. On paper, it sounds like offering a ‘cloud version’ of a game is a good idea. The Switch’s hardware was relatively underpowered when it was new, so getting...
