No cat-astrophe here
Reputation matters, and few video game characters have spent longer trapped beneath the weight of their own than Bubsy.

Review Bluey's Quest For The Gold Pen (Switch 2) - An Enjoyable Collectathon That Kids Will Love
For real life!
When Bluey: The Videogame launched toward the end of 2023, I found it a faithful yet soulless adaptation of the cartoon phenomenon from developer Artax Games, cramming some of the show’s most iconic locations into a repetitive one-to-two-hour game. It wasn’t great. Fast forward to 2026, and Halfbrick, the studio most famous for...

Review Tales Of Arise - Beyond The Dawn Edition (Switch 2) - Solid Game, Solid Port, Goes On A Bit
A new dawn breaks
Though the Tales series goes back all the way to the days of the Super Famicom, it feels like it’s always been one of the lower-budget ‘B-tier’ RPG franchises that only the most dedicated genre fans engage with regularly.

Review Mobapad M12-HD Controllers For Switch 2 - A Clear Step Above Nintendo's Joy-Con 2
Handheld fans rejoice
As much as the Switch 2 improved upon its predecessor in terms of design and comfort, it’s still plagued by Joy-Con controllers that, for me at least, feel far too dinky when held.
