A chimera of Nintendo's best franchises infused with new ideas and a real narrative heart in Pauline, Donkey Kong Bananza is a must-play on Switch 2 and kickstarts the next generation of Nintendo with an all-time great.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is an incredible experience, especially to a first time campaign player, delivering real action in both its multiplayer and single-player offerings.
Advance Wars 1+2 ReBoot Camp delivers fun and difficult strategy missions, but misses some obvious features to be a more considerable improvement on the original.
The Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection offers incredible value for money, with a host of new additions for series veterans and engrossing gameplay for franchise newbies.
