Stellar blade gets more content on launch! source:  twitter.com/PlayStation Over on X (Twitter), PlayStation have just announced that Stellar Blade will be receiving a day one update. This update brings along a new game plus mode. This new game plus mode brings many cool additions for people who are wanting to do multiple playthroughs of the game.  Here is a list of what you can expect from the new game plus mode:  - 34 additional costumes - Level expansions for Eve's gear - New skills - Harder difficulties - Remixed enemy placements  This new game plus mode is really nice to see and there is actually quite a lot to it. Some games just make it so you retain items and gear and call it a day but this game adds lots of new stuff to another run through. I will definitely be running through this game multiple times and these new additions are going to make it that much more fun to do so. As a reminder, Stellar Blade comes out tomorrow! I am personally very excited fo...

More games are now available for Nintendo Switch Online owners  source:  twitter.com/NintendoAmerica Over on Twitter, Nintendo have announced that  two more games are coming to Nintendo Switch Online. This includes 2 N64 games. The games included in this update are Extreme G and Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls. The N64 app does require the expansion pass tier so you will need it to enjoy these. The games are available as of this post. For more information on each game click these links: Extreme G Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls I have never heard of these games. From general talk online it seems Extreme G was a cool F-Zero alternative. If I had the expansion pass tier I would give it a try for sure. It doesn't seem like Iggy's Reckin ' Balls is as well liked though, the only talk about it is people making fun of the name. Still it has online co op so it could be a fun one time thing with friends. That's it for this blog, stay connected!

Pick your team and splat it out! Source: twitter.com/SplatoonNA Another Splatfest is upon us. This Special Splatfest, about which fluffy animal is your favourite, was first announced on April 5th on Twitter. As a reminder the choices for this Splatfest are, baby chicks (Shiver), lil bunnies (Frye) and bear cubs (Big Man). As usual, this event runs for two full days (April 20th @ 00:00 - April 22nd @ 23:59), with the tri colour battles starting on the second day. source: twitter.com/OatmealDome The tri-colour stage this time is Mahi Mahi Resort. The layout for it seems very similar to the tower control version of the stage, just with more footing where the defenders would spawn. Something interesting about this being a tri colour stage though is the water level drop. It's actually tied to the first ultra signal being secured. We will have to see what it's like for the defenders and attackers as it could be really crucial to get that first signal. There could even be a small cha...

Excitement levels have risen! Recently, a demo released for Stellar Blade on the PlayStation store. It covers the opening moments of the game up until the first boss fight. I have now played this demo multiple times and with this, I now have some thoughts about the game. ~ Gameplay ~ I want to start this off by saying I am not really much of a fan of souls like games as they are a bit slow paced for me. Stellar Blade is not like that at all though. While it may have many traits from those games, it feels quite fast and fluid like an action RPG game to me. This is even more so the case when EVE has more abilities unlocked, which can be previewed in the boss challenge mode. The opening level was interconnected well and had several branching paths for you to explore. You get rewarded quite decently for exploration actually, so its a good idea to do it. The gameplay isn't just combat and exploration though, in the demo there are other things such as platforming sections as well. I have...
