Super Mario Bros. Wonderfans don’t like that playing as Yoshi and Nabbit is viewed as the game’s “easy mode” and that they can’t just have a setting that activates the difficulty change seperately. One of the biggest upgrades that Super Mario Bros. Wonder makes to the 2D formula established by the New Super Mario Bros. games is that there are now a ton of different playable characters, with the two biggest additions being Daisy and Peach....

Summary Playing a scary title on a flat-screen TV or computer monitor can be unsettling; however, nothing compares to the heart-dropping immersion of virtual reality horror. WithVR, the mind is almost tricked into believing that the haunted house, menacing forest, and sinister enemies might be real.

For those who get a special thrill out of games that include building tension, dark atmospheres, and jump scares, there are many VR experiences worth exploring....

I’ve never paid that much attention to the Sylvaneth range forAge of Sigmar. I always preferred Wood Elves to Dryads and Ents toGames Workshop’smore violent vision of treefolk, so I let the woodland wraiths pass me by. Other than Allarielle, that is. What a model, eh? Stood mighty atop a great stag beetle, she was the sole recipient of my Sylvaneth sympathies. Until now. Dawnbringers is an ongoing narrative campaign for Age of Sigmar which brings with it a new book and two tasty new box sets....

If you were a child growing up in the ’90s or 2000s with a computer, then you’ve likely had the pleasure of playing a Humongous Entertainment game. While the developer was prolific in its heyday, it’s best remembered for its line of “Junior Adventures” titles, which brought a myriad of endlessly imaginative point-and-click adventure games targeted at a younger audience.

A common perception of Bethesda’s titles is that the real meaty and quality content comes from the side quests. This is kind of true becauseFalloutandSkyrim’s side quests often outshine the main ones. InStarfield, however, there’s a lot of great main quests, and they’re varied, too. RELATED:Starfield: How To Make Credits Quickly They can focus on the story, be incredibly action-packed, give you a ton of freedom in how to complete it, offer memorable scenarios, and much more....

Be it similar hilarious anthropomorphic characters or iconic heroes from other universes, chances are that theTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesare acquainted with them in some medium. No matter the IP, crossovers are always fun to see, whether in comics, video games, film, or even action figures, with these turtles experiencing all of the above. RELATED:TMNT: Every Voice Actor Who Has Played The Turtles Though they may be called teenagers, they’ve been around a long time and had plenty of opportunities across their licensing to interact with characters from other popular series, and these are their best ones so far....

While every fan ofDoctor Whohas their opinions about which Doctor is the bestincarnation of the iconic character, it is hard to deny how impactful the Tenth Doctor was.

The quality of Tennant’s embodiment of the character are a large part of what makes his era so memorable, but another contributing factor is the quality of the stories he is part of. There are three seasons worth of stories to choose from, so what are the best during the Tenth Doctors era?...

I have mixed feelings about fantasy racism. Media can and should be used to make people confront their biases, and it doesn’t bother me when people throw fantasy slurs around. The issue should be treated with the appropriate weight and gravity and not played off like it’s no big deal, but I typically attempt to interpret fantasy racism in good faith, assuming it’s an earnest attempt to portray a harmful behaviour that is all too pervasive in the real world....

Over the years, queer representation in all forms of media has become more and more normalized, and gaming is no exception. At the point we are at now, a game having good queer representation is not really treated as newsworthy, and is usually just expected in games which feature multiple romance options or a diverse array of characters. Related:Final Fantasy: Best Queer Moments In The Series However, this has not always been the case, and in the early days of gaming this was nowhere near as common....

Adaptations can be hit and miss. Any fan of any book could tell you this, and the intense arguments breaking out around TV shows likeThe Rings of Powerprove that you’re able to never please everyone. I liked the Silmarillion adaptation more than most, but if I never saw another Harfoot or heard another reference to the Peter Jackson films, it would be too soon. There have been a few Terry Pratchett adaptations over the years, and I’m afraid to admit that the only one I’ve experienced is the Colour of Magic text adventure game made for the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, and Commodore 64....

Mark 3 armour has always been my favourite. The chunky, overlapping panels studded with rivets really bring some of that grimdarkness toWarhammer 40,000– regular Space Marines wearing Mark 8 or 9 are just too clean for me. There’s a knightly vibe to it, like these Marines have cobbled together their version of plate armour in the 31st millennium and are still storming across planets in it 10,000 years later. It probably helps that I’m a big Iron Hands fan, too....
