So when the Switch 2 dropped into our collective laps, the question for me wasn’t “Is this thing good?” but rather: “Is it different enough?” Especially for those of us already living that premium portable life. After spending four days with this new beast, I feel I have a firm handle on the joys and cons of what it provides.

Updated: Jun 6, 2025 12:51 amMy old man is a stoic, rug-on-Valium kind of guy, and it takes a lot to make him shriek like a horror movie starlet. That said, I do recall seeing him on the verge of this as he clawed at the dash of my ‘86 Ford Laser during my very first L’s lesson. It would be the one and only father-son attempt we’d make. He gladly shelled out for professional lessons (and possibly therapy for himself) the next day.

From experimental indies to sprawling open worlds, the savings this week are spread across all platforms like butter on warm banana bread. And with some of these titles dipping to historic lows, it’s not a bad time to fill in the gaps in your shelf (digital or otherwise).

Catch my 'Clocked It On Ultra-Nightmare Difficulty' thoughts on DOOM: The Dark Ages on May 9th! @Bethesda_ANZ #DoomTheDarkAges https://t.co/QgrO1MLhSY
The Nintendo DS turns 20 in Oz today. A brightly backlit frontier opened up to me when I first opened the clamshell of this silver beast. In time, it birthed the DS Lite, DSi, and DSi XL to the tune of 154M units sold. Also, bangers aplenty in its insane 3,000+ games library. https://t.co/D0uVxTVvkH
Well, I'm addicted to #EldenRingNightreign and the zippy as hell, bane of kidneys everywhere Duchess class. Here it is running on a PS5 Pro rather well indeed. Can't wait to play more. https://t.co/a4naCHWLPp
