My first experience of Tim Curry was during my Scooby Doo obsessed era growing up. I didn’t know it was him at the time, but both performances stuck with me. Loved him in everything I’ve seen him in since!

So over the course of this year, as it stands, we’ll have received 8 new games, 2 complete remakes and 6 Switch 2 editions with varying levels of extra content from Nintendo. That’s a new game almost every month! Then there’s all the 3rd party and Indie games. Personally I’m very happy with that!

Really enjoyed that Nintendo Direct. No doubt Zelda is getting a dedicated Direct later in the year. As someone who finds themselves playing more and more games on Switch 2 despite having the other platforms, it’s cool to see all these different games coming.

I’m sure I’ll be pleasantly surprised by whatever’s in the Nintendo Direct today, but one thing I’m really hoping for is a new game from Monolith Soft. As in a brand new IP! We’ve had a lot of Xenoblade at this point, so I’d like to see them do something new. Also Kid Icarus Uprising!

Glad I got one of these a few years back. It just sucks how expensive gaming is now. Growing up I was fortunate enough to get each handheld Nintendo released, and at the very least the new Pokemon games. There are going to be so many kids that miss out on that joy now all for AI crap no one wants

Valve has announced that the Steam Deck is the latest piece of gaming tech to receive a price increase, with both models increasing in price by over 40%. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/valves-...

That’s time on one very successful Kickstarter! Thank you so much to everyone who backed, and all the amazing people that have contributed to the book. This means the world to me, and I’m so excited to get this out in to the world!

Less than 48 hours to go now to back the Pokebook folks!!! We beat all our initial stretch goals, but if we manage to hit £60k before the campaign ends, we’ve got a plan to make a really awesome Pokedex booklet covering the original 151! Every backer will get a copy of this if we hit the goal!

Just a few days left to back now, and that last stretch goal is about to topple! These mini reviews are a fun way of focusing on the core aspects of what makes each of these games special. None are perfect, but they all offer something unique!
