Nintendo Switch Online – Goldeneye review by Con

Available in the Nintendo 64 Expansion Pack 27/1/23 (PEGI 16) 4.5 Stars

Youth #Gottit View:

It’s a classic. It’s a game that many youngsters have heard of, but never played. Goldeneye isn’t just a celebration of a Bond movie. It’s a release that defined and inspired a whole genre of gaming.

I’m not too sure why PEGI gave it a PEGI 16 rating. This game should really be rated PEGI 12 as there are many mobile games with far more realistic graphics that carry the PEGI 12 rating. If you loved this game back in the day or you’re much younger and love the history of gaming and just need to know what all the fuss is about – you’re in for a blast. Goldeneye needs a remake – Highly Recommended!!!

Sky Exclusive – The Last Of Us review by Con

Available on Sky Atlantic 16/1/23 (15 Years +) 5 Stars

Youth #Gottit View:

We’ve only watched one episode, but wow what an episode it was. Remember the first time you watched Stranger Things and needed to instantly watch the rest of the series? The Last Of Us will have exactly the same effect. Also, having just lived through a Pandemic – some of the tension comes from knowing how it feels to be in the place of each of the characters in the show. The Last of Us is gripping, exciting and packed with shocking moments. This show is going to be a Monster – Highly Recommended!!!

Hornby Hobbies Ltd – Scalextric Back to the Future vs Knight Rider review by Con

Con with the full race track and two controllers. The track takes a maximum of about 5 minutes to set up and dismantle!!!

The iconic Back To the Future Time Machine and Knight Rider K.I.T.T cars both included with the race set!!!

The handsets have two settings. An easy and hard mode for both new and experienced Scalextric fans!!!

Working lights on each car!!!

Cross section of track to knock your opponent off while racing!!!

Available from all good retailers (5 Years +) 5 Stars

Youth #Gottit View:

This is the Scalextric set you never knew you needed. But maaaaaan, do you need it. Two of the most iconic cars in Movie and TV history finally get to battle it out for who’s fastest on a Scalextric set. It’s quick and easy to build the track and the cars are much easier to control and keep on the track compared with sets of the past. This toy/collectable has Christmas morning fun written all over it. Highly Recommended!!!

PlayStation – God of War Ragnarok

PlayStation 5 – God of War Ragnarok review

Kratos and Atreus are back and the stakes are higher than ever. Fimbulwinter is in full effect
and Ragnarok is just around the corner. Can Kratos defy fate and bring down Odin without
becoming the monster he has left behind. Though simple this is the main story of this
behemoth of a game. The main story is around 20 hrs and is packed with entertainment from
start to finish. It also takes great steps towards uncovering the secrets of the giants and how
Atreus is important to their story.

Speaking of Atreus this game takes great leaps in new gameplay features. Notably, Atreus
as a playable character. Atreus becomes the centre of attention within a lot of this game and
with that you get to fight using him with different partners by your side. And with the partners,
there are many of them that vary throughout the game. Another important part of the game is
the new Draupnir spear which is incredibly fun to use. It provides another unique gameplay
experience whilst feeling just as powerful as the Blades of Chaos and the Leviathan axe.
And finally Kratos Atreus (and more) have significantly more customisation as well as a
much larger and rewarding skill tree.

The game play is immensely good and feels like a massive step up from the previous game.
Especially the newer moves which feel fresh even if they have been seen before. The new
enemies, monsters and bosses are very cool and provide new challenges for even the most
experienced of gamers.

I could list the positives but realistically everything about it is practically perfect. Although the
only thing some may see as a problem is the fact that the levels feel a little enclosed. Also
the graphics ( though amazing) don’t feel like a ridiculous step up from the 2018 game
especially considering this game is made on a upgraded console.

Basically to conclude, this game is awesome. The flaws are miniscule in comparison to how
amazing this game really is. If you liked the original or any action story game for that matter,
then this is a must play game and should definitely be in your game library.

This latest adventure is absolutely amazing with a story full of drama and excitement. The gameplay has everything you loved about the last God of War, and so much more. The perfect sequel – Highly Recommended!!!

Nintendo Switch – Bayonetta 3 review by Con

Available on Nintendo Switch 28/10/22 (PEGI 16) 3.5 Stars

Youth #Gottit View:

Bayonetta 3 has a great story and the gameplay is brilliant. The only thing that lets it down a bit, is that it feels like the graphics should be at a next generation level and the battlefields feel a bit restricted. Whether you’re new to the gaming franchise or a lifelong fan – you’ll really enjoy this game!!!
