SPOILEA ALERT Avengers: Endgame spoilers ahead! STOP THE START However, any changes you make in your past become the start of a new branch in reality – a different timeline that moves away from the one you’re in. The Ancient One illustrates this for Bruce in 2012, with a magical line affected by removing the Stones. A separate timeline will begin when Bruce takes the Time Stone, unless the Stones are returned to that moment, once the Avengers use the Infinity Gauntlet to save their present day. Think of this like quickly opening and closing a box. Did that help at all? Well, we figured it was worth a shot! A THEORY When Thanos snaps his fingers in Infinity War, Ant-Man is stranded in the Quantum Realm. After an accident…

DARK TIMES Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is set shortly after Revenge of the Sith. The awesome Jedi Order has fallen, and the evil Empire is trying to keep order. Jump into the Force-filled boots of surviving Padawan, Cal Kestis, who’s on the run from a mess of baddies. REBEL INQUISITION Watched Star Wars Rebels? Of course you have. Haven’t? Go watch it, Padawan! One of those nasty Jedi-hunting Inquisitors is in Fallen Order – Second Sister. She’s after our pal Cal, and her name might be Seventh Sister minus five, but her Force skills are totes +10! RO-BRO BESTIES Cal isn’t all alone. He has a Force friend in ex-Jedi Knight Cere, and his best bud is BD-1, the droid! His pal looks like binoculars on legs but like…

Screaming downhill on a pushbike is obviously pretty fast, but it’s a snail’s pace in comparison to the high speed of a moto-rific motorbike being pushed to the limit! That’s what MotoGP 19 is all about. It’s like Trials Rising, except there’s a lot less slower dirt biking and many more three-dimensional twisting tracks. We would say ‘strap in’, but you can’t! It’s just you, your customisable (race)track suit and a helmet, then you are off to the races, with what’s really just an engine with wheels under your butt. Those loud noises equal a wicked ride that’s busy trying to push you up to hundreds of kilometres an hour. Race through the digital version of the IRL MotoGP 2019 season, or zip through historical races with legendary riders. However,…

We dug playing SteamWorld Dig, and SteamWorld Heist stole our attention. Get ready for the newest steampunk adventure with SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech. This time, it’s all about questing. At its cog-filled core, SteamWorld Quest is a role-playing game. You know the drill. Collect cool characters, stack XP, level up skills, and mix and match powers in epic battles. SteamWorld Quest takes that base and combines it with a deck-building card game – like Skylanders Battlecast or Plants vs. Zombies Heroes. You need a high-powered hand to take on the heroic Gilgamech. With over 100 cards to flip, we love the awesome variety of cards for decking baddies. Everything from EZ-PZ grunts to big bad bosses. First, you’ve gotta turn your wannabe heroes into stinging bee legends. You can…

Beat the pack in Touring, test your driving skills at night in Endurance or smash…

Hey Game Ninja, How do you make sure snow golems don’t melt and die out in Minecraft PC? DANNY, VIA EMAIL Use potions of fire resistance to keep snow golems standing. No potions? Keep them in cool places. Any place in Minecraft with a temperature greater than 1.0 will turn snow golems into puddles! So, snow golems just aren’t a great fit for deserts, mesas, savannahs or the Nether. Keep them away from fire, rain and water too! Hi Game Ninja, Is there a way to find Meltan in›Pokémon: Let’s Go? JASON, VIA EMAIL There’s an epic nine step mission for catching Meltan, but if you have a›Pokémon Go account, there’s another way. First, connect your Pokémon Go account and transfer a Pokémon from Go to Let’s Go. This’ll score…

On May 4, 2019 (AKA Star Wars Day), Aussie fans used the Force at the world’s largest LEGO Star Wars unboxing in Chatswood, NSW. A supersized LEGO X-wing starfighter set was unveiled at the event, which also celebrated the 20th anniversary of LEGO Star Wars. There are 83,442 LEGO bricks in the model, which took more than 210 hours to design and build!

It was Jens’ first visit to Australia – he travelled all the way from LEGO HQ in Billund, Denmark! I love K-Zone! – Frankie K-Zone rules! – Chase…

The Lion King tells the story of a young lion called Simba. He is the son of Mufasa, King of the Pride Lands, and Sarabi, the Queen. Simba will lead the kingdom one day! Simba spends time playing with his friend, Nala, while being watched by Mufasa’s close friend, Zazu the hornbill. Simba doesn’t take his destiny as king seriously, which doesn’t impress Zazu. One day, Mufasa’s brother, Scar, causes a wildebeest stampede with catastrophic consequences. Scar tricks Simba into running away from Pride Rock, and Scar takes the throne, calling himself the new king. Simba meets Timon and Pumbaa, a meerkat and warthog duo who are both outcasts. Simba grows up with the pair, living under their life motto ‘Hakuna Matata’. Many years later, Nala finds Simba and with…

SNEAKY SETS Movie productions will often use a working title to keep the set secret. Before Episode IX’s title was revealed as Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the working title was ‘Black Diamond’, followed by ‘trIXie’. These aren’t the only secret working titles for Star Wars films! Return of the Jedi was famously called ‘Blue Harvest’, while The Force Awakens was named ‘AVCO’ (after the movie theatre where director J.J. Abrams first watched A New Hope) and ‘Foodles’. The Last Jedi was called ‘Space Bear’, Rogue One was ‘Los Alamos’, and Solo was ‘Red Cup’. Any Star Wars fan that wandered past sets with these titles would have no idea what was really happening! DROID RECON A droid that appears for the first time in The Rise of Skywalker…

We love Mario Kart and we’re stoked that Crash Team Racing is speeding onto the scene, but we are absolutely, positively revving our kart engines for Team Sonic Racing. It has a sweet feat the other karters don’t – actual team racing. In most kart games (and racing games), one person wins and everyone else, well, doesn’t. We love how Team Sonic Racing’s winners are the ones who race together. Your entire team counts towards the pole position. This means you need to stick with the pack around twisting tracks, and the dev team is the ace pit crew helping you out. Use Slingshot to get a boost from a buddy’s tailpipe slipstream, gift Wisp items to fellow racers in need, then target your team’s biggest rival to take them…

Thanos may be The Mad Titan, and a tough rival for the Avengers to battle, but he would be even tougher driving a monster truck! OK, so Monster Jam Steel Titans may not feature that titan driving a titan, but it does sport some mean machines. A big vehicle means it’s easy to crush the cars in your way – or that it’s trickier to put your truck on its roof. However, big doesn’t mean slower. Climb into the high chair of one of the 25 massive monster trucks, and spend a semester (or two) studying at the Monster Jam University. Before you know it, you will be ready for monster races, stadium match ups with a huge roaring crowd, or destruction derbies. Don’t forget the massive air and the…

Super Mario Maker 2 is a combo of two of our faves. First, it’s got a 2D take on Minecraft’s build-a-bunch gameplay, and it’s packing the awesome power of stupendous Super Mario platforming! Similar to playing Minecraft, building is a ton of fun. We love how easy it is to throw a stage together. You can start small, and then add in cool layers of complexity. Maybe throw in an Angry Sun to bring the heat, or gusts of wind to increase the challenge. There’s also a whole load of baddies to shake things up. We are talking about the chompy Piranha Creepers, bullet-head Banzai Bills and flamin’ Fire Bros. You can take your sweet stage for a spin to test it. Too tough? Jump back into the editor and…

Bigger is deffo better when it comes to Dragon Quest Builders 2. It’s roaring on the ‘more’ factors. More quests. More building. More, uhh... numbers in the titles. You better believe there are more dragons too! This giant new world is waiting for you to craft anywhere and everywhere. Dash or glide around to move fast. The important base building is a cinch. Nab a recipe, collect all the right parts and start constructing your dream base. The bigger you make the towns, the more people you’ll attract. More peeps means more builders, so it will become easier to build massive new cities. Your new buddies will also be able to lend a fighting hand when mean monsters attack. There’s plenty to do outside the walls that you build. This…

FISHTAILING WITH THE LONGTAIL! McLaren’s latest offering is the new McLaren 600LT. Only the fourth to proudly don the ‘Longtail’ badge, the 600LT builds on the cars that came before. It's a lighter, faster and more powerful piece of road-legal machinery. McLaren is known for creating lightweight, aerodynamic cars that hug tar and look good while doing it. The 600LT is no exception! Every effort has gone into reducing the car’s overall weight with a carbon-fibre chassis and body – even the seats are carbon-fibre. Don’t be fooled by the featherweight build, coz the engine powering this beast can push it to a top speed of 328km/h, with 620Nm of torque and 592 brake horsepower. You can totally see why this is the most wicked set of wheels in the…

SERIOUS BUSINESS A day at K-Zone HQ begins with an epic NERF battle to help get everyone’s creativity flowing. A blaster is never far away from our desks! RAD READS Aideen loves reading new books, so we can decide which rad reads to review, and which ones to use for awesome puzzles, quizzes and activities!

FINDING BUZZ In Finding Nemo, Buzz is in the toy box at the dentist’s! INCREDIBLE SPOT Duke Caboom from Toy Story 4 is in Incredibles 2, in Jack-Jack’s crib! BUCKET O’ SOLDIERS Pixar animator Pete Docter attached his sneakers to a wooden board to study the toy soldiers’ movements! He made prototypes and the team of animators spent a day moving around like the toy soldiers! TITLE TWIST Toy Story was called ‘You Are A Toy’ during production! TRIBUTE Buzz Lightyear was called ‘Lunar Larry’, then ‘Tempus from Morph’. His name is a tribute to Buzz Aldrin, the real astronaut who famously landed on the Moon. SHER-IFF THINGS WERE DIFFERENT Woody wasn’t always a cowboy! The original idea for Woody was a ventriloquist’s dummy. Could the antique store dummies in…

It’s kart-tastic time again, but this time, it’s with Crash. You don’t wanna crash in Crash Team Racing! Crashing means losing precious lap-time seconds. You want to make your fellow racers live up to Crash’s name. Expect to bash into walls, fly off the track or skid into traps on your first few laps. We sure did. Race up the rankings and rev up new tricks like perfecting the timing of a jump boost, sniffing out secret shortcuts to shave off seconds or discovering the best spots to plop out cheeky traps. Got a bomb on your head? Mash jump to headbutt it off. Racer on your tailpipe? Bump them into an explosive surprise, or off a massive drop. You’ll wanna pick a karter to match your racing style; faster…

Pop a long bit of grass between your chompers and slap on your fave farm hat. It’s time that we talk about our time in, uhh, My Time at Portia. This totally chillaxed game is the result of tossing Harvest Moon, Minecraft and The Legend of Zelda into a blender. What do you get? A majorly delicious gaming experience. The goal is simple. Become the best builder in the lil town of Portia. The bigger the build projects, the more you change the town! Before you start hammering away at stacks of structures, you’ll wanna nab the right resources. Chop down trees, or kick ’em for special items. Bored building? Mix things up with epic exploration –›our favourite is helping guards with beastly baddies. You can tackle dark dungeons and…

Cats are simple creatures – they love to sleep, eat, play, and then sleep some more. However, this particular catto is a little different. Our hero is called Kiki and the space-travelling feline is making a beeline to save their captain. Why? The cap is trapped and needs his furry friend to save the day. Now, you may be wondering, how much help could a lazy cat offer? Cunning Kiki won’t be caught napping, especially when there’s a massive armoured mech to pilot! It’s less Hulkbuster and more Dogbuster in size. You’ll need the mech in order to blast through tricky hurdles and force a catnap on cranky critters. We really dig how well the mech can dash and blast, but there are times when Kiki is forced to leave…

BEAUTIFUL BOARDING! On his official run of this 250 metre course, Pierre Vaultier raced over all the obstacles without any mistakes. However, the French snowboarder took 110 runs to perfect his route over the six metre high blocks of snow at Serre Chevalier in southeastern France. Consider the fact that the double Olympic snowboard cross champ only had 50 centimetres of space to land his board on each block, and two metres to take off – extremely impressive. The course was designed by Vaultier, and required two mechanical shovels, a snow groomer and nine pro shapers working for months in freezing conditions. This feat joins Vaultier’s Olympic gold medals, world title, six crystal globes and 20 World Cup victories.…

DISASTER DIG I played a game where I buried a box with $15 in it and then tried to find it. I›didn’t find it until two years later and there were worms in it! Alden, NSW UNLUCKY! WII ACCIDENT I was at a friend’s house playing Wii. We were in the middle of a tennis game when the batteries from my controller slipped out and broke my friend’s TV! Patrick, Vic HEAPS UNLUCKY! SWOOP ‘N’ POOP I was riding my bike by the sea when a seagull swooped and pooped on my head! I was so startled, I fell into the water with my bike. To make matters worse, I vomited on a stranger after I got out! Christopher, WA SO UNLUCKY! BADMOUTH BLUNDER I was talking to my friends…
