I'm not saying Bethesda are trolling me specifically, but Fallout 4 and Skyrim updates are imminent just as I've modded up the latter for the first time in ages

As much as I loved exploring the world of Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time , there was one thing that always bothered me - the inability to view certain areas in first person. Don't get me wrong: it was never a deal breaker, and I felt the 2D, pre-rendered backgrounds did a more-than-adequate job of creating the impression of a larger, more detailed world.

Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Final Fantasy XIV Online?

Tell us, kupo. Final Fantasy XIV Online is one of those games that just feels like it shouldn't work on the Switch 2. A game of this size, on a handheld of that size? C'mon, that's nuts. And yet, it's true! XIV online is out now on Switch 2, and we think it's a blast. It's got enough content to last you years, let alone hours or days, along with some solid combat and class systems. We awarded it a score of 8/10, and here's what Mitch Vogel stated in his verdict: Read the full article on nintendolife.com
