Another Splatfest is upon us. This Splatfest, about which instrument you would play, was first announced on February 29th on Twitter. The choices for this Splatfest are, drums (Shiver), guitar (Frye) and keyboard (Big Man). As usual, this event runs for two full days (March 23rd @ 00:00 - March 24th @ 23:59), with the tri colour battles starting on the second day.

The tri-colour stage this time is Flounder Heights. The layout for it adds some new sections which are used for the defenders to spawn in. It also removes the flank route to the sides of the stage. I think it could be a decent tri colour stage. Last time I thought it was going to be a great stage though with blue fin and I was proven very wrong. That stage was so unbalanced in the end. I can't see this one ending up like that though. Hopefully this time we get a fun experience with tri colour with this stage.

From looking at polls on Twitter and YouTube, it all seems quite even. This is no surprise as it's a completely subjective question to answer. It will be interesting to see which team wins in votes for this one. I picked keyboard myself as a lot of my favourite music has piano in it.

Make sure to use your conch shells before the Splatfest ends and to scrub your Splatfest t-shirt every now and then for those sweet ability chunks! Happy splatting!

That's it for this blog, stay connected!

[Review] God of War (2018)

A near godly experience made slightly mortal by one glaring issue source: www.playstation.com ~ Intro ~ God of War (2018) is a 3rd person action game made by Santa Monica Studio. The game is currently available on both PS4 and PC. This title is sort of a reboot of the series with it taking a different direction from the traditional hack and slash formula of the original God of War games. I haven't played any of the other God of War games so this has been my introduction into the series. I have wanted try this series for a while, as I have seen good things about it. So, starting with this reboot felt like a great entry point. With that said though, let's get into my thoughts. ~ Positives ~ let's go over the positives first. To start with, the story of the game is good. This game's story is all about fulfilling a last wish, though there are many road blocks the main characters must face along the way. As I was playing I found myself intrigued to find out what would happe

Another game for switch online is coming soon source: twitter.com/NintendoUK Over on Twitter, Nintendo have just announced that Mario Party 3 is coming to switch online. This game is a N64 game so it will be available on the N64 app. This does mean you will need the Switch Online Expansion Pack to play it. The update with this game will drop on the 27th of October. Mario Party 3 is a great addition to the line up. The fact that it will have online co-op is a big change. Essentially though, Mario Party is about moving your character around a board with dice rolls, with the aim of collecting Stars. The player with the most stars at the end wins, it really is that simple. The most fun aspects to Mario Party games though are the mini games. Mario Party 3 offers a total of 71 mini games for players to enjoy. Something to note about this game as well, is that, it was the first Mario Party game to feature a story mode. Make sure you give this a try too it's a good way to practice th

Specifically, they have stated that we can expect to be playing this new instalment of the Ys series in Autumn . The exact release date though is unknown.
