Pokéyerolls, go! Reviewed for: Nintendo Switch - Available on: Nintendo Switch, PC I love Pokémon. I’ve loved it for as long as I’ve known about it. I’ll play every entry as they come out. I’ll play most of the spin-offs. I’ll buy plushes and clothes and generally deck out the flat with those little rascals. It’s a wonderful franchise, really.

Ausstellung für elektronische Unterhaltung Long time readers of the blog will know I’ve been chasing a reality that probably died when the COVID pandemic hit. The video game event space is barren. E3 kicked the bucket in 2023, but it’d been in a coma from 2020 onwards. My relationship with EGX, formerly the Eurogamer Expo, is well storied on this site…

He was a skater boy Reviewed on: PS5 - Available on: PS5, PC You know that saying “it's not the destination, it's the journey”? That holds water sometimes, you know. Like, I appreciate it's a larger metaphor for personal growth, practice making perfect, and all that. But, in a very literal sense, going somewhere can be more enjoyable than being somewhere.

Night at the Museum Remember school trips? I used to love school trips. For a whole week, that’s all your class would talk about. Days learning about what you were going to see, entire subjects crafted around it. The day itself, milling about a farm, or a museum, or a car park, on one unfortunate occasion. And then, Friday, writing about what you’d learned.

Snitches Get Switches The Nintendo Switch is probably the best console I've ever owned. Both in concept and execution, Nintendo delivered an experience that captured the imaginations of everyone who bought one, offering a console quality experience that could be equally enjoyed on the go as much as in the home. All with a library consisting of banger after banger (you can check out our top 20 Switch games here and here, and that list could have easily been expanded to 30).

The Switch had an unbelievable run, returning Nintendo back to the head of the table as the dominant player in video gaming. A killer console concept tied with exceptional software, the Switch should rightly go down in history as arguably the greatest console of all time. With that, there’s no better time to look at the games that defined my experience.

Our third piece in our series covering the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience in London, following hands on with the hardware and its accessories, and a diary of the day as a whole. Here, we go into a bit more depth with Mario Kart World. Mario Kart simultaneously feels like a strange decision to launch a new console with, but also an incredibly secure one.

Continuing our coverage of the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience in London, we're having a look at the console, new Joy-Cons, Pro Controller, and Gamecube Controller, in a bit more detail. The most straightforward, and most boring, thing I can say about the Switch 2 is that it feels like the Switch. Helpful? Not really. But as the minutes that thing was in my hands piled up, the lines between where the Switch ended and the Switch 2 began blurred.

Having given the diary treatment to both EGX and New Game Plus over the past few months, I wanted to make sure that the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience has the same treatment. This is not a complete colleciton of thoughts, I'll have some more concrete thoughts and feelings in the coming days. For now, I wanted to get something out so those attending over the next few days have a bit of an idea of what they can expect.

A media pass was made available to yetanothergamingblog for this event. That fact absolutely did not affect our views and opinions, but, for the purposes of transparency, I thought it important to mention. This has been something I’ve been looking forward to for a while. After feeling utterly deflated by EGX in 2024, I’ve been yearning for something in the same vein of EGX Rezzed.

I’ve been looking forward to this one. My experience with EGX last year left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth, and I’ve been hoping something might fill the “Rezzed” shaped hole. I’d hoped it would be “WASD”, thought that shuttered before I even managed to get to an event. But the London Games Festival stepped up. A brand new expo, titled New Game Plus, took place at the London Museum Exhibition Spaces, showcasing about 80 games over two days.

Earlier this week, we released a list of predicitions for this Nintendo Switch 2 Direct. Now it's all out there, we thought it would be fund to go back and see what we got right, what we missed on, and what caught us off guard. In short, we did pretty well. Without further ado... What we got right - Mario Kart…

Mario Kart 9 will be confirmed as a launch title. This feels like a banker. We know it's coming, The internet has poured over the 4 seconds of footage that Nintendo paired with their console unveil. Nintendo knows they need a big hitter on day one to entice the early adopters. You look at where Nintendo has succeeded, console wise, in the past.

The Nintendo Switch 2 gets a big blowout this week. Wednesday, 2pm, we're going to find out everything about Nintendo's latest machine. Before, then, I thought it'd be an idea to have a bit of a run down of what the new console should have and be. Here's what we want from the Nintendo Switch 2. Power Up It feels pretty obvious that the Switch itself has been an issue for developers for a good 2 or 3 years now.

A review code for Atomfall was provided by a PR on behalf of Rebellion Developments for the purposes of this review. This has not influenced the review in any shape or form. I just thought you should know. A couple of hours into my time in Atomfall, I headed back into Wyndham Village; the games central location. I'd been to Wyndham a few times in passing, not really paying too much attention to it or its citizens, mainly using it to duck out of trouble, or to get onto my next objective.

Long time readers of the blog will know that, when we review a game, we do so without assigning a score to it. The rationale has always been that the body of the review is where the game is, well reviewed. Our arguments, positive, negative, and otherwise, is presented in the body of a review. If you’ve read the review, you know what we think of a game.

#NotAnAd #NotSpon Since 2021 (and since the comedian Glenn Moore started tweeting about it), one of my more giddy annual goals has been to complete 100 video games in a year. I've not once come close, having ranked 30 just the one time. I do enjoy giving it a go, though. I won't talk about how I'm doing this year just yet (I'll save that for another piece in a few days time), but the real enjoyment, for me, has come from discovering games for the first time that I'd never have given a go otherwise.

Most Interesting Tides of Annihilation It’s rare that these update shows make me physically sit up and take notice, but this was one such time. The debut title from Chinese developer, Eclipse Glow Studio, Tides of Annihilation looks super slick. Legitimately one of the best looking games I’ve seen in a while. Details are sparse this early on, but Eclipse Glow…
