Minecraft: Story Mode Gameplay: This is a very different take on Minecraft – instead of building and crafting you’re taking part in an epic story, playing as a character who must save the world with the rest of the Order of the Stone! Telltale’s games are usually made for an older audience, so it’s cool seeing them release a new game that kids can enjoy. This is an adventure game, but you won’t be solving many puzzles – it’s more about making choices in conversations and making your own unique story! If you’re the kind of gamer who doesn’t usually pay attention to the storylines in games, you’re going to want to steer away from this one, but if you love a good tale then you’ll enjoy this. You get…

Skylanders Superchargers (Wii U) “I’ve loved Skylanders for a long time and this Supercharged version is absolutely AWSM. New vehicles, new Skylanders, and you can play on all new levels that are so much fun.” Yo, Ben! Skylanders Superchangers is super cool! It’s so much fun racing all the new characters and their vehicles and beating the other racers with our WIKKID abilities! Geometry Dash (iOS/Android devices) “I love Geometry Dash! I have unlocked the vault and I have a level. Could you guys please play it and review it!” We think Geometry Dash is awesome, Harvey! We love unlocking new icons from the vault but if we played it anymore here at Mania HQ, we wouldn’t be able to get the new issue out on time! LOL Minecraft: Story…

Having trouble remembering which way to turn your wrench or spanner when tightening things? Just use this saying: Righty tighty, lefty loosey! Avoid getting your skateboard wet or exposed to extremely hot temperatures! When not using it, keep it in a shady covered area – like your garage or bedroom! Adjusting your trucks (the axle that holds on your wheels) controls how easy it is for your skateboard to turn. The tighter the nut, the harder it is to turn. Find a tightness that’s suitable for you – but don’t make it too loose or the nut might fall off! Thanks to ball bearings, your wheel is able to spin without grinding up against the axle. If your wheel isn’t spinning properly or you hear a rubbing sound, then you…

It’s been almost 5 years since Kung Fu Panda 2 came out! Let’s hope we don’t have to wait as long for Kung Fu Panda 4 (if they make one). MASTER PO! Po has come a long way, from noodle shop worker to becoming the legendary Dragon Warrior. Now it’s his turn to step into the Master roll and train all his panda brethren. The only problem is, they’re all as clumsy and clueless as Po was in the original movie. Uh-oh! After defeating the ferocious Tai Lung and the cunning Lord Shen, Po is faced with his biggest challenge of all: reuniting with his long lost family. After meeting his biological father Li Shan, the two pandas travel back to a hidden village of pandas! But when an ancient…

Based on the Pokémon games that we all love, this coaster brings us to a 3D version of Kanto! Get thrown through some of the gyms where you’ve duked it out with the likes of Brock…

MAR 24 BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE This is it! The superhero showdown we’ve all been waiting for! Unsure if Superman can be trusted, Batman suits up in some A WSM battle-tech to find out which side Superman is playing on. Meanwhile, evil genius Lex Luthor has created Doomsday , a monster designed to stop Superman – and the whole world. Can the two heroes put aside their differences to defeat Doomsday?

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros Gameplay: Mario & Luigi have teamed up with Paper Mario for their latest adventure, and the result is both super challenging and really fun! This is much better than Dream Team Bros was – you’ve got three characters to fight with, which makes the battle system way more exciting! You need to time button presses when attacking and defending, figure out enemy patterns and really pay attention to your enemies! You also have cards to boost your stats on the bottom screen, so you really need to think things through. The game can get really hard, but if you’re really struggling you can play the game on ‘Easy’ mode, which was the only way we could beat some of the bosses! Taking down your…

Elephants have the biggest brain of any land animal! While having a big brain doesn’t mean they’re the smartest animal, they’re still able to make and use tools. They also have great memories, which is why people say, “An elephant never forgets!” While a single honeybee isn’t very smart, they can combine to make an intelligent swarm. When a beehive becomes too full, scouts will be sent out to find a new home. How do they choose where to live? By dancing, with the best dancer determining the new hive location. Varsha, NSW VARSHA’S POOCH BOO READY FOR WALKIES! DID SOMEONE SAY THE ‘W’ WORD?! Dylan, TAS CHILLIN’ WITH HIS FUNNY BUNNY. WIN!  We love your AWSM animal pics, MANIACs!

Yo-Kai Watch Gameplay: Yo-Kai Watch is MASSIVE in Japan – there are entire stores dedicated to it over there! Now it’s made its way over here and we love it – it feels a lot like Pokémon! You’re fighting and capturing funny looking ghosts and ghouls in Yo-Kai Watch, and then using them in battle! We had heaps of fun wandering around, using our Yo-Kai radar to find new ghosts to battle, and we really enjoyed the story! The combat system took a little getting used to, but the further in you get the more you need to think about which Yo-Kai you’re using and how best to attack! The best attacks require you to play little mini-games on the touch screen with the stylus, which is pretty cool. The…

Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash If you played Mario Tennis Open on the 3DS, you’ll know what to expect from Ultra Smash on the Wii U – although to be honest, we think we preferred the 3DS game! Mario Tennis is still heaps of fun when you’re on the court, smacking the ball back and forth, and being able to grab a Mega Mushroom and turn huge is cool! But there aren’t many modes here at all, and none of the cool mini-games Mario sport games usually have! Platform: Wii U Style: Tennis Publisher: Nintendo Price: $79.95 HOT! The tennis is fun! NOT! There’s very little to do! MANIA SCORE 6/10 Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 The Hawk is back, but he’s not as cool as he used to be! Tony…
