MMMH, SLIME! Drop some green food dye into a glass of water. Tell all your friends that it’s gross pond slime and then watch their faces when you take a sip! SNEAKY CHANGE! Confuse your mates by constantly changing your clothes throughout the party. Don’t do anything big, just little changes like a different shirt or a different coloured hat. If they ask you about it, act confused! DON’T SPILL IT Place your hand flat on a table and put a full glass of water on top of it. Brag about how good you are at balancing and challenge a friend to try it too. After they nail one glass, get them to try two full glasses. Now it’s impossible for them to get up without spilling water!! HOLD THIS!…

Wii U No Longer In Production! Nintendo has announced that they are no longer producing new Wii U consoles, now that the Switch is out. The Wii U was an AWSM console, but it never sold very well, sadly. Nintendo’s final game for the console will be Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Project Giant Robot has been cancelled! So Long, Good Game! Good Game – one of our favourite shows - is no more! But we shouldn’t feel too sad, because Spawn Point is still going strong with Bajo, Moose, Rad and Darren, and Hex and Nich have left to make their own show on Channel 7, so they’ll still be on TV as well! Costume Quest is getting a cartoon! The Costume Quest RPGs are good fun, but…

Dragon Ball Fusions Gameplay: We’ve played heaps of Dragon Ball fighting games over the years, but this RPG experience is something different! In Dragon Ball Fusions, you play as a new character who makes a wish on the Dragon Balls for a massive fighting tournament, and gets transported to a world filled with all of the series’ best fighters! You can recruit all your favourite Dragon Ball mates and then take on enemies in epic five-on-five battles! Battles are turn-based and tactical, as you need to move your characters around an arena and figure out the best way to attack your opponents. It’s a fun system, although the fights often take AGES to play out and it can get repetitive! Eventually you’ll be able to fuse together a bunch of…

Highway Runners This game takes after Out Run, one of the best racing games of all time! You have to swerve between traffic and collect coins by tilting your phone and tapping the screen to drift. It’s great fun, and looks AWSM, but it takes ages to unlock anything! SCORE 8 /10 iOS, Racing, $2.99 Fire Emblem Heroes We’ve been putting a lot of time into this free-to-play Fire Emblem – it’s not as fully-featured as the 3DS games, but it’s a super great mini version! You battle across simple maps using all of Fire Emblem’s greatest heroes, and we found that we didn’t need to spend any money to do well! SCORE 9 /10 iOS/Android,Strategy/RPG, Free Charming Keep This Aussie-developed game is pretty simple to play, but very rewarding…

“I love MANIA and cute Pokémon!” That’s a really cute Rowlett, Hayley! Thanks for sending it in! “Hi MANIA, this is my self portrait!” Wow, Justin! You’ve got some AWSM art skills for sure! Keep it up! “I hope you like my pic of Mario! Your mags are AWSM! Keep up the good work!” Woah, Hugh! This Mario pic is AWSM!

MOVIE MARATHON! Pop some popcorn, crack open a bottle of soft drink and kick back because it’s time for a movie marathon! Get ready to take to the high seas for a swashbuckling adventure and then prepare to save a magical kingdom from an evil overlord! 13 square-eyed YAKs will score a DVD prize pack containing Captain Sabertooth and Albion! 1-UP!

Five MANIACs will score a Nintendo prize pack that includes five assorted 4” figures and eight assorted 2.5” figures! NINJA POWER! Power Rangers are AWSM and ninjas are AWSM, so combining the two together means you get double…

Arms We miss some of the Wii’s crazier motion-controlled games, so we’re pretty excited that the Switch is bringing motion controls back in a big way! Arms lets you fight your mates by throwing punches with the Joy Con controllers, dodging and weaving your opponents while pulling off special moves by twisting your arms! The fighters in this game have long, springy arms, so you can hurl an attack from the other side of an arena and still score a direct hit! This looks super fun! Platform: Switch Style: Fighting Publisher: Nintendo Out: Autumn 2017 Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadow of Valentia Woah YAKs, we didn’t see this one coming! Nintendo is remaking Fire Emblem Gaiden, the second game in the Fire Emblem series, which has never been available outside Japan…

Gravity Rush 2 Gameplay: The PS Vita’s best game has a sequel now, and it’s super cool! Kat returns from the first game for a new story, but she still has the power to change gravity. This means that you can effectively fly around, and also pick items up with telekinesis and hurl them a great distance! We love the feeling of exploring the different levels of Gravity Rush, and the combat is still super impressive and fun, especially now that you can change ‘forms’ and attack in whole new ways! We loved learning more about the characters and the world they live in throughout the game, and any mission that let us make full use of our powers! We felt like some of the missions were a little dull,…

FIRE EMBLEM HEROES There are some elements to Fire Emblem Heroes that aren’t necessarily fully explained in-game! Here are some of our favourite tips and tricks. Start strong If you haven’t started Fire Emblem Heroes yet, this is worth keeping in mind – at the start of the game you’re given five heroes at random, but there’s no guarantee you’ll get good, five star heroes. You can restart the game at this point and try for better heroes until you get at least one five-star! Get items from your team On the home screen, tap on any hero with hearts above their head to get a bonus item! How XP works The game doesn’t fully explain this, but characters only keep XP earned and levels gained if they survive the…

Get Super Saiyan hair. Have some hair gel and coloured hair spray on hand to style yourself a spikey fro, bro! Hide fake Dragon Balls (tennis balls will do) around the party. Whoever finds the most wins a prize! Instead of throwing shuriken and Rasengans, throw water bombs! You’ll have to be a stealthy ninja to sneak up on your friends and unleash a huge soaking! Make your own ninja headbands with some cloth, glue and cardboard! Set up a Duel Monsters tournament with all your mates! Whoever wins the most duels scores a prize, like a rare card! Have a competition to see who can invent the craziest and weirdest new Yo-kai! Have either a trading card tournament or battle against your friends on your 3DS! Come dressed in…

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue The Kingdom Hearts games have really weird names! This one contains a HD remake of Dream Drop Distance (a 3DS game), a CGI film, and a new, short adventure featuring Aqua. If you’ve played Dream Drop Distance before then there’s not really enough new stuff here to recommend the game, but if you haven’t and you enjoy Kingdom Hearts, then it’s a pretty good adventure! Dream Drop Distance has been reworked to fit the PS4, and it still plays pretty well! Platform: PS4 Style: Action Publisher: Square Enix Price: $79.95 HOT! Lots to do on the disc! NOT!
