THE NEXT STEP After three death-defying adventures where he defeated world-class villains, it is finally time for Po to take the next leap forward in his journey. Destiny is calling on him to… take a break! Po is supposedly ready to advance from his position as Dragon Warrior and become the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace, but the puzzled panda really doesn’t know much about spiritual leadership. WAY OF WISDOM While trying to figure out his next job, Po must also search for the next Dragon Warrior, and battle a dangerous enemy called ‘The Chameleon’. This new foe has her beady lil lizard eye on Po’s powerful Staff of Wisdom. To defeat The Chameleon, Po must leave the Valley of Peace behind and journey to the big city…

“I’m a huge K-Zone fan, I read it as a kid and I hope K-Zoners are a fan of me too!” “Gary [Grayson’s dog] is doing great. It’s always tough having to travel around the world and miss spending time with him, but he has people who take care of him while I’m away. I always get to video call too.” “I recently had a chicken parmi in Australia – they have that in other places, but it’s never the same.” “I’ve been listening to classic Australian music lately, like Dary Braithwaite’s ‘Horses’, a bit of Powderfinger, to get in the vibe for a show.” “After travelling with LA Knight recently, there are many things Aussies aren’t going to like about him – I know I personally don’t like him.…

► LEGO FORTNITE Discover a whole new way to build in Fortnite! The Survival mode drops you into a wide open world, where you will gather resources, battle beasts, and establish a town of your very own. You can use handy Blueprints to speedily set up structures, or you can just wing it all to craft your custom creations. LEGO Fortnite gets even better once you have unlocked those suh-weet launchpads and gliders. ► ROCKET RACING It’s wall-to-wall fun in this high speed game mode, and we mean literally! In Rocket Racing, you can leap from the regular road to race on the walls – and even upside down! Combine that with powersliding, boosting, and a dash of Rocket League (the cars can jump and even fly for a bit)…

When Moira McKinnon runs away from home, it’s because she wants to cross the Scottish Highlands and visit her uncle who lives by the sea. This journey means hiking in rugged, unforgiving terrain. Moira must climb cliffs, slide down slopes, shelter from storms, and creep through caves. The Highlands are huge and covered by intertwined paths, so no two journeys will ever be the same. As Moira, you will discover hand-drawn maps that reveal secret paths – but you need to climb to the nearest peak in order to match the map’s view to the wild landscape. You can also meet strange folk on your travels, and collect any curious objects that could come in handy. You will even run beside deer, leaping in time with a few upbeat traditional…

► SURVIVAL-ISH Play the way you want! Sandbox mode gives you unlimited resources, but you can also tweak Survival mode (only when you first create the world). You can turn off enemies, hunger, stamina, and temperature extremes! You can even play with keep inventory! ► IT TAKES A VILLAGE Use the villagers that stay in your town! Take them exploring; they will fight anything that comes along! If the villager is defeated, they find their way back to you anyway. You can only bring one villager on quests, so give jobs to any others hanging about in town. ► HUNGER GAMES Be sure to build a grill as early as you can. The grill is a great way to cook meals that will do more than simply fix your hunger.…

GET STARTED Before you create a ghost story, get inspiration from scary books (like Goosebumps), movies (Ghostbusters, Spirited Away, The Nightmare Before Christmas) and even your nightmares! Think about what actually makes those things frightening. Is it the characters, the setting, the details, or a mix of everything? Use this to start jotting down ideas for your story. LOCATION IDEAS • An abandoned building nearby• A creepy alleyway• An old factory• A lighthouse• A long stretch of road• A nearby park TOP TIP Write the story before saying it out loud, to get the plot and details right while sounding super convincing! TIMING IS EVERYTHING To make your story even more believable, set your ghost story in the past. It should take place more than 20 years ago, so that…

WINNING AUSTRALIA’S FIRST WINTER YOUTH OLYMPIC MEDAL IN BIG AIR WITH A SILVER MEDAL AT THE 2024 WINTER YOUTH OLYMPIC GAMES WAS… Pretty amazing to achieve. It has been a goal of mine for a very long time to win a medal at the Winter Youth Olympic Games, and the medal is ultimately a reflection of my hard work and dedication over the past two years. It was also incredible to be able to stand on the podium with two of my friends! TO WIN THE SILVER MEDAL… I did a Double Cork 1080 in my first run, which combines two flips with a rotation of 1080 degrees. It’s one of my favourite tricks and I was able to score a 91 on my first run. I did a Switch…

What is a witch’s favourite subject in school? Any guesses? It’s... Spelling! Know what happens when a witch isn’t witchy enough for their cackling academy? Ex-spelled! OK, OK, there’s no more broom for gags with so little charm. You want to know what this bewitching adventure is all about! You play as Mika, an aspiring witch who has travelled to the picturesque island of Mont Gaun. She starts working for the local delivery company, to earn enough money to upgrade her broom. This goal isn’t just about Mika’s need for speed (or flame decals on her broom). The upgrades are necessary for Mika to visit a powerful witch at the top of the mountain on the island. Flying around looks like soar much fun, and there are different townsfolk to…

Time is broken in ancient Mount Qaf. Huge waves are frozen, and people trapped in the labyrinthine layout seem to have aged in an instant. The world is filled with roaming undead soldiers and mythical beasts, ready to pounce on anyone who enters. You are an elite warrior called Sargon, and you must fight your way through this maddening maze to save the Prince of Persia. Thankfully, you have some sweet moves waiting at your sword tips, like a clever combo system you can pair with parries, dashes, and other mystical abilities. Don’t expect it to be easy, coz this game’s combat is really challenging (especially the terrifying bosses). If it’s too difficult, you can always choose to customise until it’s just right. The Lost Crown is also crammed with…

► KOOPA CHAOS Play as Yoshi in Fluff-Puff Peaks (World 2’s second area). After the start, there’s a brick and warp pipe. Grab Koopas and launch ‘em in the air, so they line up between the brick and pipe. Use Yoshi’s flutter float to drop on Koopas leaving shells and score 1-Ups. Try to stagger jumps so you don’t land on a shell and end up bumping into the other Koopas. ► ALL PROS NO CONS Pass the checkpoint in the ‘Condarts Away’ level in World 2, and defeat the Condart by the Koopa. Break the three bricks below, and hop on the shell over and over for 1-Ups! ► SCRAM SCAM Use a Parachute Cap with any character in the ‘Scram, Skedaddlers!’ map (Pipe-Rock Plateau third level).

POWER UP The stunt crew referred to Gordon Cormier (who plays Aang) as an ‘Energiser Bunny’, as he picked up the bending moves fast and brought Aang’s high energy with the stunts. Gordon’s secret? Jellybeans! SURPRISE EXERCISE The scene where Katara and Sokka discover Aang (and Appa) in the iceberg was filmed on the first day of shooting for Avatar: The Last Airbender! The director, Michael, suggested that Ian Ousley (who plays Sokka) should do push ups before the iceberg scene, so he seemed out of breath after escaping the icy rapids beforehand. Ian ended up doing roughly 150 push ups that day! STUDENT TO MASTER The cast did bending boot camp one month before filming. Kiawentiio (who plays Katara) found that the boot camp helped her connect to the…

Playing as Val, you’ll embark on an incred quest across a lush world. Val is a skilled swordsman and magic wielder, and you’ll be travelling as a guard protecting a childhood friend. This friend has a very important task at the ancient Tree of Mana. Along the way, you’ll meet a cast of quirky characters, gain an animal companion to help you travel and fight foes. The action RPG gameplay in this series has always been fun, but Visions of Mana steps things up a notch. The fast-paced combat sees Val attack from the ground and air, unleashing cutting combos with his sword one moment, and flinging fire the next. Val is also able to harness the unique powers of magical ‘Elemental’ spirits, which are aligned with the different elements.…

► MAKE SOME CRAZY MONEY The original Crazy Taxi games were all about picking up passengers across a sprawling city, then perfectly driving them to their destination. The driving mechanics ruled, with plenty of sweet techniques for boosts, quick stops, and more. The creative cities were basically awesome playgrounds too, thanks to steep hills, jumps, shortcuts, and tons of traffic to weave through. Bringing this seriously fun series back with a modern update is a no-brainer! ► GO NINJA GO The first Shinobi game arrived in arcades in 1987, and was an instant classic. The word ‘Shinobi’ means ‘ninja’ in Japanese, and working as a deadly assassin was the aim of the game. As the acrobatic Joe Musashi, you needed to take on Zeed, the evil crime syndicate! Armed with…
