Those four famous, pizza-loving heroes in a half-shell are back for a fully fun spell in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge. The retro look and gameplay of this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game is as classic as Shredder, the big baddie. Shredder should deffo know better than to take on the tricky titular turtles by now! Well, guess he may never learn. However, you should teach him a lesson anyway. First, pick your favourite turtle hero. There’s the deadly Donatello, legendary Leonardo, mighty Michelangelo, or rad Raphael. The awesome April is also a playable character – and she certainly packs a punch. Each turtle can shell out swift kicks and slaps with their own slick skills and mighty moves. Introduce the Foot Clan to your furious fists and feet…

Stacks of Pokémon games let you run around and explore in real-time, but then you politely take turns in battles. You won’t find that polite system in Pokémon Unite! Similar to the ways of Pokkén Tournament DX, Pokémon brawls play out in real-time – with plenty of big hits. However, unlike Pokkén Tournament DX, this ain’t no 1v1 brawl. Teams of five pick from a pack of Poké-pals and poke away at the other team’s defences. First, get your training wheels turning in the Practice Area. Hunt wild Pokémon for easy KOs. Stack up Aeos energy, then shoot it at the opposition’s goal to score points. It’s like an NBA 2K game spliced with Pokémon, and we’re all about that. Thankfully, you can’t miss shots, but you can be interrupted…

Kena: Bridge of Spirits is like Raya and The Last Dragon meets Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. How? Take the mighty magic and rad region restoration of Raya, and then Force splice that with the epic powers and battles of Fallen Order. Kena is a serious Spirit Guide on a mountainous mission, armed with a stick... Uhh, a magical stick! Use Kena’s staff to bonk bonces as a bo staff, or make corrupt crims bow down to the staff in an arrow-raining bow form. That magical stick is super handy for puzzling and perforating baddies from afar. Kena needs help, because there’s something rotten in this faraway fantasy forest. This is where the magical Rot munchkins lend a Pikmin-like hand. Find them all ferreted away through the forest. The Rot…

On your marks, get set... Fling! Sure, that’s not how racing usually works, but that’s how it goes in Fling to the Finish. This game is like a 3D version of K-Zone favourite, Heave Ho. However, while you have to link limbs with your buds in Heave Ho, you are constantly connected by a rope in Fling to the Finish. You can have a try playing solo, by controlling one colourful character on either side of the rope on a single controller. That’s a harder mode than tutorial. Here’s the thing. If you wanna fling, you need to bring a buddy to really make this game sing. Think of it as a three-legged race with a really long rope. The courses are stuffed with stacks of colourful craziness. Get used…

With a name like Riders Republic, you know there’ll be stacks of riding – and maybe stacks of stacks. So... bikes, right? Surely. Maybe snowboarding? Skiing would be sweet too actually. Well, Riders Republic has all of those rad rides, and more! Whoa. Publisher Ubisoft lifted the ride-shifting idea of The Crew 2, ’cept it’s pushed away from horsepower and pedalled into people propulsion. Mash pedals in big downhill bike races, soar down snowy slopes on skis, or puff up powder with tricks on a speedy snowboard. Not fast enough? Make decent time on your next downhill descent with a wingsuit, or kick up the klicks with a rocket wingsuit. There are so many different rides to play around with, but this game isn’t only about the full-pace racing. Trek…

CLASS CONFUSION I had just finished the start of year reading test and entered my classroom punching the air. Before I could stop, I had the eyes of everyone from the grade staring at me as if I had grown horns – I had entered the wrong classroom! Laura, Tas UNLUCKY! SNACK SURPRISE I was eating a packet of crackers in the car. I had already eaten five when I noticed a maggot on my hand. It had come out of the packet! I could see a nest in there. I felt like vomiting and I flicked the maggot out the window. Marley, NSW HEAPS UNLUCKY! HOLIDAY HICCUP One weekend my family and I went to the Gold Coast. We went down to the spa for a late night swim,…

SPIDER MAN: NO WAY HOME In cinemas from December 16 At the end of Spider-Man: Far From Home, Peter Parker’s identity was exposed by Mysterio and the world knows he is Spider-Man. Mysterio’s footage has also been used to mislead most of the population, who believe Peter is a villain. His life has been turned upside-down, and the lives of his closest friends and family, like Aunt May, Ned and MJ, have also been affected as a result. Being a teenage Avenger is difficult when angry mobs line up at your school. After saving his city and the entire world so many times, it seems like most of the planet hates him – and fighting evil when anyone could hurt the people you care about is a difficult task. As…

GAMING CLOUD You need a PS5 to play PS5 games, and a Switch to play Switch games. So you would need an Xbox to play Xbox games, right?

NEXT-GEN NOW Until now, new-gen Xbox games could only be played on Xbox Series S or Xbox Series X.

Some of our fave things have ‘Story’ in the title, like Toy Story, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, you get it. Now there’s a game we dig with ‘Story’ in the name! Garden Story plants you into the role of Concord. This young grape has a great life taking care of plant pals. He hears on the grapevine that his beloved town ain’t doing so great. Set out on a relaxed but rad adventure to protect Spring Hamlet as the latest (and maybe greatest) Guardian of the Grove. Thankfully, Concord has a bunch of buds to help him root out the Rot. These invading weeds take a whacking to beet, uh, beat. Upgrade your weed-whacking weapons and thorn-trimming tools to rattle the Rot. You can swap out Memories (prickly…

Wario has finally finished building his latest, raddest game – but uh oh, he’s broken it before release day. Now, the whole dev team is trapped inside the game. Don’t you hate it when that happens? WarioWare: Get It Together! challenges you with a few hundred microgames to master. Each one is a blast to play, but you only have a few seconds to move through them. Crack the peak puzzles on the fly as the timer ticks down. You’ll get in the groove, but then the game will slash those precious seconds. You’ll soon be furiously button-mashing on pure instinct. To make it to first place, sub in a player two. Play more to unlock more characters – you’ll get a micro run with them to learn their macro…

K-Z: Hi Cate and Bronte! Congrats on Olympic gold! In Sister Secrets, you say Aussie swimmers inspired your Olympic dreams. Why did they influence you? C: Sport and swimming are such a big part of Australian culture – I think most kids are made to swim at some point. We arrived in Australia in the middle of the golden era of swimming, and watched absolute titans of the pool on our screen. I remember looking up to Liesel Jones, Libby Trickett, Susie O’Neill, and of course, Ian Thorpe and Grant Hackett. B: It’s been a privilege to have that history handed on to us. Watching Grant Hackett lap people in the 1500 metres – a full 100m in front in an Olympic final – that’s what really inspired me to…
