st when we thought we’d seen the end of that
oody “arrow in the knee” meme, guess what? It’s
a-a-a-ack! There is, of course, quite an upside to
is, for the brilliant and already quite beautiful-looking
der Scrolls role-playing adventure Skyrim has been
ven the remastered treatment for all of us now-gen
ople. Honestly, who can be shagged blowing the
st of those scabby old PS3s and 360s?! As well as
aturing a new and improved mix of the main game,
all the classic DLC from Dawnguard to Dragonborn has
been shoehorned in. We’re just hanging out to find out what on Nirn
‘volumetric god rays’ are...

ké-whatever? Meh, that’s like so last week! Yo-Kai
atch is back, and it doesn’t need a fancy accent to
the coolest connected collect-’em-up on the block.
is second version does take Poké-cues, however,
ith two different versions available. There isn’t much
ference between Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls (other
an the latter sounding cooler), it just means there
e different Yo-Kai that can be befriended in whichever
ose meddlesome Yo-Kai are going bonkers again in
Springdale and it’s up to you to befriend or battle some 350 of them.
You’ll even travel back in time to witness the origins of the Yo-Kai Watch!

Everything old is new again, as the Battlefield
series eschews the modernity that both it
and its competitors usually favour for a trip
back in time. It may be the 14th game bearing
the name ‘Battlefield’, but this one has us
travelling back to World War I. Certain things
remain immutable; for starters it’s still a first-
person shooter. You’ll also get to take control
of an array of vehicles ranging from horses
and tanks to biplanes and even zeppelins (oh,
the humanity!) There’s a definite emphasis on
teamwork, which will be more necessary than
ever considering that the artillery available in
WW1 wasn’t exactly as, erm, “efficient” as
modern-day weaponry. We’re talking the likes
of pistols, rifles and flamethrowers; and when
going all melee on enemies’ arses, bayonets
and even shovels can come in handy, you dig?
(Sorry!) The actual battlefields are huge, with
various routes available to complete tasks, and
you’ll play as several characters throughout the
campaign. “Yeah, but what about multiplayer?"
you may ask. It promises up to 64 players, eight
classes, and being able to form squads that
can enter and leave operations simultaneously,
as you tie an onion to your belt, which was the
style at the time...
