I WOULD LIKE TO TEAM UP WITH RHEA RIPLEY. WE’RE BOTH FROM ADELAIDE, AND VERY FAMILIAR WITH EACH OTHER, BUT I DON’T SEE MYSELF BEING A PART OF JUDGEMENT DAY. I’M A BIT OF A LONE WOLF. I GO ON MY OWN TERMS. MY FAVOURITE WRESTLEMANIA MOMENT WAS WHEN SHAWN MICHAELS WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP AT WRESTLEMANIA 12. I WAS A YOUNG KID AND SEEING HIM LIVE HIS DREAM AND BECOME WWE CHAMPION WAS SOMETHING THAT I’LL REMEMBER MY WHOLE LIFE. I’VE BEEN ON ONE OF THOSE MASSIVE THEME PARK RIDES WHERE YOU GO TO THE TOP AND IT’S A MEGA DROP. YOU DROP 90 METRES FROM THE SKY AND IT DOESN’T FEEL GOOD. THAT’S MY MOST EXTREME THEME PARK RIDE. I’M VERY HAPPY TO BE BACK IN THE WWE. I’VE…

GAMEZONE Inkulinati is a medieval (not mediocre) mash-up of interesting ideas. Battles are splashed across the rustling pages of ancient magical manuscripts. We have an inkling you will be itching to dive into the ink-based fights. Start with your Tiny-Inkulinati – a version of your ink combatant drawn onto the page. Keep ‘em covered at all costs! If foes get too close, swat them away or biff and bash with a giant medieval mitt. You can doodle an ever-growing army of unique units. Start with doggy dudes and unlock your way to rascally rabbits or smashing snails. Rabbit bums can hilariously beat dog daggers. Collect ’em all (like a card game), then select your best options from the expanding bestiary. Tussles are turn-based, so fill your three-character with fighting faves.…

GAMEZONE Terra Nil is super chill, so you won’t find any terror in this game! It’s also the total opposite of a city builder. In games like SimCity, Cities: Skylines, and The Settlers, you are supposed to build over beautiful nature. When you jump into Terra Nil, you need to build nature instead. Unfortunately, this space-age place is really ruined. Spoiler alert: it’s actually Earth. No trees, no grass, no furry critters... it’s your gig to bring all those fantastic natural elements back. Plop down a wind turbine for power, and throw out a few toxin scrubbers for fertile soil. Add an incred irrigator, and see you later! Well, not actually, but those actions will bring back all the great green we’re grieving. Now, gift the powerful plants to the…

GAMEZONE Hogwarts Legacy rewinds the clock way back to the 1890s. That means everything going on in the game is taking place around 100 years before Harry Potter headed to the famous school of witchcraft and wizardry. Obviously, familiar faces will be few and far between, but the big star of the show is Hogwarts itself. We love being able to visit fave spaces from the books and flicks, and spotting new (yet old) details in the legendary castle. After you have personalised your student, there’s a lot to do! Get sorted into Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin. Hit the books as a fifth-year student, or chase down the floating collectable pages. Revelio your way to extra XP and meet stacks of other students. While Hogwarts is huge, it will…

LET'S-A-GO THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE Watching this is just like travelling down a warp pipe and popping out in the Mushroom Kingdom. We felt like we were with Mario as he teamed up with Peach and Toad. The mission? Rescuing Luigi from big-bad Bowser and ruining his plans to conquer the world. We wanted to throw fireballs, fly in a Tanooki Suit and cruise down Rainbow Road. Race to see it! Rating: Extra points for: The epic Super Mario Bros. Plumbing commercial! FAST FAVOURITE SONIC THE HEDGEHOG After ditching his home planet to chill on Earth and play baseball (alone), the blue blur accidentally causes a massive power outage, and chaos follows in his speedy hedgehog footprints. Rating: Extra points for: Dr Robotnik’s cool tech and uncool dance moves.…

K-Z: Hi Val! You recently became the youngest Aussie to win a FIS World Cup Crystal Globe, and the first to win a FIS World Cup Big Air Crystal Globe! When did you start snowboarding? V: I was three. My parents brought me to the snow with a snowboard, bindings, boots, and an orange onesie. I fell in love instantly. I’ve always been competitive, I’m not sure why, but I entered my first race when I was six. I fell and got disqualified and was so heartbroken about it, but I came back the next year with a vengeance and won. K-Z: You won your first medal at the Winter X Games in half pipe in January! Why do you love to snowboard? V: It’s been a huge part of…

Leticia Bufoni made history when she pulled off a skateboard grind from the back of a plane at an altitude of 2,750 metres! This composite image shows the six-time X Games gold medallist performing a feeble grind out of a C-130 Hercules plane in (or above) Merced, California, USA on August 30, 2022! The feeble grind is a new trick that combines a 50/50 and boardslide while in the air, and the move was actually created by Leticia! The pro skateboarder performed the trick with a parachute that weighed 9.1kg, and trained for months (skydiving over 100 times) before the stunt. Leticia achieved the Guinness World Record for the highest skateboard grind outside of a flying aircraft! The incred athlete has also claimed the record for largest skatepark built in…

GAMEZONE Come take a peek at Pikmin 4 for a min(ute). Fans will know that there are three steps to a Pikmin game. You gotta grow pint-sized Pikmin, pluck ’em, then command ’em. These little plant-like pals are growing into a new adventure. These peak Pikmin come in different flavours, and hold special skills. Found fire? You can fire up a few fiery Red Pikmin. Worried about water? Well hakuna matata, you have Blue Pikmin! Speaking of things that will make you blue, there’s a new pal. Ice Pikmin! Their job is to just... be really cool. Nah, jokes. You can crack puzzles and pesky pests with their ace ice-blasting abilities – and that isn’t the only new buddy unleashed into the game. Two-legged Oatchi the Space Dog is a…

GAMEZONE Ding-ding-ding! We’re back in the ring and this time, it’s WWE 2K23. The wrestling game is back, and it’s better than ever. It’s totally easy to pin the basics. Step one, mash the light attacks for basic blows. Chuck in some heavy attacks to mix things up. Step two, time to get grappling. Toss an opponent onto the mat, or fling ’em into the ropes for a classy (and classic) takedown. Step three, flop on a floored foe for that awesome 1-2-3 winning count. Remember, WWE is all about the entertainment, so keep your opponent guessing – never let ‘em know your next move. Chuck in some killer combos. Block, dodge, and interrupt with rad reversals, or try our fave and pop a big-hit finisher while you’re sprinting. The…

Wakeboarders Felix Georgii, Dominik Gührs, and Dominik Hernler created an obstacle course on a frozen lake north of the Arctic Circle! The trio and their crew cut out lines in the 80cm-thick ice surface, and shaped ice blocks into a kicker and boxes, plus a five-metre-wide igloo to ride through and jump over. The feature line was 110 metres long, and pushed the riders to deliver big airs and many technical slides. The wakeboarders needed quick feet to jump from pool to pool, and a creative line enabled them to slide over a long slab of ice with ice walls. The build took 11 days, with temperatures down to -32 degrees Celsius, and 518 tons of ice were lifted from the lake. Georgii is a 2018 X Games gold medallist,…

HIT THE ROAD Aussie Formula One driver Daniel Ricciardo went on a massive journey across Australia to celebrate his return to the Oracle Red Bull Racing cockpit! Before the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne – Daniel’s first F1 event at home since his return to the Red Bull team – the Grand Prix winner took the RB7 F1 car through some of the country’s challenging terrains. OUTBACK ARENA Ricciardo tested the RB7 against Toby Price and the Red Bull Mitsubishi Triton Trophy Truck in the outback, before avoiding a helicopter! At a cattle station, off-road motorcycle racer Daniel Sanders helped Ricciardo to navigate the bull dust in the championship-winning car. BRIDGE AND CIRCUIT Travelling to Sea Cliff Bridge on the south coast of NSW, Ricciardo met aerobatic pilot Matt Hall…

ELEMENTAL What would happen if the elements were alive? Do you think fire would be calm, or energetic? Does water seem angry, or happy? In Element City, the fire, water, earth, and air residents live together. When Ember, a tough and quick-witted fire-resident strikes up a friendship with Wade (a fun, relaxed water-resident), it changes her life. Despite her street smarts, Ember has struggled to love the city she grew up in. Wade is observant, a good listener, and always bubbling with compassion. He helps Ember to discover the magic of the world around her! IN CINEMAS: June 15 THE FLASH When Barry Allen uses his speedster superpowers to travel through time, he accidentally causes worlds to collide! After realising he could change the fate of his family, Barry actually…

LEGENDARY TEARS The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom takes everything we loved about Breath of the Wild, and makes it better! Tear into this legendary sequel, where Link can phase through solid objects. Unfazed! He also has a rad new glider upgrade, and the ability to rewind time... Does that mean we can play for longer? COOL CONTINUATION The original Animal Crossing game was unleashed in 2001. The latest, greatest one is the eighth sequel! Animal Crossing: New Horizons was rad on release, and it has added plenty of neat new features since then. There’s wet suit swimming, dream island exploration, and peak places to chill – including Brewster’s Café. SAGA SEQUEL LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga splices two of our fave things together; LEGO and Star…

GAMEZONE Suit up for a reimagining of a classic. Metroid Prime Remastered puts you in the space boots of Samus Aran. A blaring distress signal makes Samus race to an exploding space station. All her neat powers have reset. The Tallon IV planet has many dangerous critters with talons, and now Samus’ big-bad Meta Ridley is on the loose. Definitely not a fantastic start to this space vacation! This ain’t no holiday, but it sure is fully fun. We love all of the linked regions of Tallon IV. Much like a legendary Link adventure, nab the greatest gear to fully explore this wonderfully weird world. Metroid Prime Remastered drifts between the worlds and styles from many of our gameplay faves. One moment you will be blasting at waves of creepy…

GAMEZONE ‘Sky’ is one of the only English words without a vowel, but in DC’s Justice League: Cosmic Chaos, you fight an interdimensional prankster called Mister Mxyzptlk (mix-ee-yez-pit-lik), who is at war with some of our fave superheroes – and apparently all the vowels! Mister Mxyzptlk is trying to sail a whole bunch of sad right into Happy Harbor. This pesky pest has recruited villains like Bizarro, Starro the Conqueror, and Clayface. Luckily, the Justice League is in town, so now it’s time for Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman to turn up the heat and stop these ice-cold baddies. Swap between the three heroes. Supes is rad at range with his legendary laser vision. Wonder Woman is the best at closing the gap in brawls. Bats is… well, he’s Batman,…
