WHAT’S COMING IN APRIL?

LEGO STAR WARS: THE SKYWALKER SAGA Get ready for the biggest LEGO Star Wars experience yet – and yes, we’ve seen the 7541-piece Millennium Falcon! All nine movies in the Skywalker Saga will have their own playable hubs, each featuring five levels each. So, that’s a huge 45 levels in total – plus, there’ll be new Force and lightsaber combat moves, which will include the ability to string various attacks together in combo chains. Then there’s old school mumble mode – who needs all that voice acting stuff anyway?!

ADVANCE WARS 1+2: RE-BOOT CAMP Two of the most renowned Game Boy Advance games are set to be reborn in this double pack that will have classic strategy buffs itching to get playing. As the tactical advisor for the Orange Star Army, command your troops in turn-based combat, using your expertise to shuffle land, air and sea units about the battlefield. Keep the peace – and secure victory - by taking out enemy squads and capturing towns and bases. Then, do it all again with the sequel, Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising !

NINTENDO SWITCH SPORTS If your TV has taken to cowering in the corner, it’s likely heard the news that Wii Sports has a successor! Get busy in your lounge with classic tennis, bowling, chambara, soccer, badminton and volleyball action – with golf slated to come as a free addition down the track. As with the classic Wii game, players swing, kick, spike and more on their quest for supremacy – making sure to use the Joy-Con’s wrist strap, of course! Some games even support an included leg strap for added realism.

1 What’s the first game that you remember playing? The first video game I played was Pong . Yes, I’m that old! 2 What was the last game that you finished? Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus . Yes, I was late to the party. 3 What’s your favourite video game/series of all time? StarCraft/StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty . I’ve played (and still play) way too many hours of both. 4 What do you think is the most underrated video game of all time? It’s not necessarily the most underrated, but a game that didn’t receive the love and attention it deserved at the time was Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy . I have great memories of playing this game, and that it was cutting edge at the time it shipped. 5 What’s the game that you most wish you’d worked on? Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth . I’m a great fan of the Lovecraft universe and would have had a blast working on it.
