Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge is the newest and coolest area of Disneyland’s original theme park in Anaheim, California. I was SO lucky to get to go there last month to review it for KRASH magazine! Disneyland has always been awesome, but now that Galaxy’s Edge has opened the park has gone to a whole new level! For starters, the Millennium Falcon is parked right in the middle of this epic land. And, even better, I got to pilot it! ‘Smugglers Run’ was the coolest ride I’ve ever done, and it was just like being in a real Star Wars movie! The Millennium Falcon is the centrepiece of Galaxy’s Edge, but the rest of the land is just as awesome. You can build you own Lightsabre in Savi’s Workshop, assemble your…

WATTAM If you’ve ever played one of the Katamari Damacy games, then you know how colourful, charming, silly and bizarre its developer can be.

This could involve platforming, logic or even just finding food for them to eat. Even though the things you need to do a super weird, it somehow brings harmony to all the chaos in the world, which is strangely addictive. This is a game where you will find a…

When I was at school camp in year three, I really needed to go to the toilet, so I left the hall where everyone was having lunch and went to do a quick poo.
