Feature: The Obliteration Of Andross - A Tactical Analysis For Maximum Damage In 'Star Fox'
Charting Star Fox’s most Venom-ous route. I’ve always been a champion of Fox and the gang, from resolutely defending the merits of Command on the DS to battling through Star Fox Zero’s janky multiplayer in anticipation for the team’s glorious return on the Switch 2, but nothing could’ve prepared me for quite how obsessed I’ve been with Velan Studio’s sublime Star Fox 64 remake since its launch six odd weeks ago.

This, I assume, is how a playthrough of NBA 2K27's new MyNBA Legacy mode might go, given it seems to have taken cues from Crusader Kings 3 's multi-generation dynasty-crafting. Read more
