As part of the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience in Melbourne, where I also checked out the impressive new mouse controls, I spent a decent chunk of time burning rubber in Mario Kart World.

Of all the new features coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, I expected its PC-like mouse controls to be something of a gimmick. Like the HD Rumble of the original Joy-Con, perhaps only a few games would use it to its full potential. After trying the Switch 2’s mouse controls at the recent Melbourne preview event, I’m confident that it’s no mere gimmick. In fact, I think it will open up more ways to play console games that competitors will be side-eyeing with envy.

If there’s one thing Doom: The Dark Ages excels at, it’s following the rule of cool above all else.

For those unfamiliar, the rule of cool refers to the concept of enabling something to happen, purely because it’s too damn cool to pass up.

As cool as Summer Game Fest is, showing off the latest and greatest in video games, it doesn’t quite fit the southern hemisphere. By the time it rolls around, we’re in the depths of winter, feeling anything but summery. Frosty Games Fest is the answer to the US-dominated Summer Game Fest, acting as a more season-appropriate event for showcasing upcoming Australian and New Zealand-made games.

Alienware is known for its high-end gaming PC gear that costs a premium. In a slight change of pace, Alienware is returning to its roots with a new range of mid-range Aurora laptops. They sit below the brand’s recent $6,000+ Area-51 machines, designed to be both fast and lightweight. To begin with, the Alienware Aurora range coming to Australia consists of two 16-inch models: the 16 and the 16X.

To ring in the new year, I’m on the home stretch of Metaphor ReFantazio and, I kid you not, there’s a side quest about selling bathwater to a merchant 💦 https://t.co/eNrX5A86vy
Finished Dragon Age: The Veilguard last night, and I reckon it did a great job of satisfyingly closing several big story arcs that’ve run through the series. Still not over the emotional final mission. A bug did prevent me from getting the Platinum though 😠 https://t.co/mdkiCogDeW
