Review – My Friend Peppa Pig
From the very beginning of My Friend Peppa Pig it is nearly impossible to tell the difference between this video game and the uber-popular children’s animated series. Presented as an open adventure that doesn’t force the player in any one direction with the wide variety of activities and interactions is largely available immediately. Aside from a handful of story driven cinematics and associated events, the interactive experience is presented in a manner that truly represents player freedom and exploration at their own pace.

Review – Stranded Deep (Nintendo Switch)
Assuming the role of a lone plane crash survivor, Stranded Deep wastes no time thrusting the player into its dynamic and procedurally generated world consisting of a network of islands in the Pacific Ocean. Emerging from the wreckage to a sea of flames the player is knocked out from an explosion and wakes near an inflatable raft drifting off the coast of an island with nothing but a handful of rations and a compass to begin their ultimate test… survive.

Cadillac Seville by Gucci in Hot Wheels

“Starting today, all players that log into Hot Wheels Unleashed™ will find the new car in their Collection, free on all platforms. The die-cast vehicle was the result of a collaboration between the House and Hot Wheels®, which recreated that paradigmatic expression of the late ‘70s flair and served as a testament to the Maison’s forward thinking that was the original car. The recent Mattel Creations drop celebrating the House’s centennial was highly sought after by automotive enthusiasts and fashion aficionados alike, with the limited-edition die-cast vehicle selling out almost instantly.”

Farming Simulator 22
Have an awesome controller collection that would love one more?
Well it’s probably not this next awesome one from the extraordinary modder Rudeism.
The controller has been created to celebrate the launch of Farming Simulator 22 and is built into a real life Case IH Magnum 310 tractor.
“Known previously for converting all manner of objects to use as controllers in popular videogames, including a baguette, a pomegranate and even a microwave, Beck has lent his custom controller expertise to this world first attempt at using a “Tractroller” to play Farming Simulator 22. Sitting inside the tractor’s cab, on a working farm outside of Dalfield on the South Island, Beck will stream his attempts to over fifty thousand followers over the coming days.
The Case IH tractor Beck is using to play the game is a new addition to Farming Simulator’s roster of over 100 authentic brands and over 400 genuine farming machines. By attaching a few wires here, a few buttons there, the Case IH Magnum 310 is now a fully-functioning game controller.”
