New Beginning

It’s Friday! And with Friday comes a look back at all the games we’ve played this last week. I’ve been hammering Unicorn Overlord, which might just be the best game of the year, while I also spent a bit of time sobbing over the Wii U and 3DS being fully put out to pasture. Beyond that there’s been a lot of Party Animals during the school holidays, and a spot of New Star GP to round things out.

It’s been the season of chocolate eggs and extended bank holidays, and if your children are still on holiday you may well be hitting the point where they’re hitting each other. Can I suggest some video games to while away the hours? It’s been word games in our house, and Wordscapes on iOS has been the surprise winner of the week. I’ve meanwhile been tinkering away with our Planet Zoo Console Edition review, carrying on with Dragon’s Dogma 2, sampled the idisyncratic delights of the Playdate Catalog and rounded out my playthrough of Unicorn Overlord.

Remakes, reboots, revivals. Whether it's a lack of fresh ideas, exploiting nostalgia, or an earnest desire to introduce a new generation to past glories, the entertainment industry loves bringing old things back. And we love old things coming back, too, as long as it isn't Nanna after she's escaped from the home again.
