RETURN OF THE KING There’s a new film roaring into cinemas soon, and it’s a prequel to The Lion King! Simba and Nala’s daughter, Kiara, is old enough to hear the story of her grandfather, Mufasa. The young lion cub never got to meet her grandfather, so the mandrill Rafiki tells Kiara about Mufasa's childhood – with a few extra comments from her hilarious friends, Timon the meerkat and Pumbaa the warthog! A SEARCH FOR DESTINY Through flashbacks, you’ll see how Mufasa went from an orphan to adopted into the royal family. Meeting a royal cub called Taka changes Mufasa’s life and sets in motion a giant adventure. Mufasa and Taka are inseparable growing up together, but when a deadly white lion comes into their lives, their bond is tested.…

POWERFUL PLAY If you’re going to play as the Ultimate Lifeform, you need to know his exclusive abilities! With Chaos Snap, Shadow can teleport to enemies (through obstacles that Homing Attack can’t), and with Chaos Spears, Shadow can fire to stun enemies or hit targets. Chaos Control is activated when the Chaos Gauge is filled, stopping time so Shadow can avoid dangerous obstacles. The Chaos Gauge is filled by defeating enemies (different to Rings for the Boost Gauge). With Chaos Control, he can also speed along a green energy trail. MAJOR BOOST Shadow Generations has a generous Boost Gauge, so hit hyperspeed! Boosting into enemies busts ‘em up, so you don’t have to Dash Attack – and the bumper buttons are super for switching rails or dodging! Looking to leap?…

GAMEZONE COMING SOON In the world of platform games, Mario may be the master, but Donkey Kong is hot on the plumber’s heels! Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a vibrant new version of the Wii console classic and sports a great graphic upgrade that looks like a million bucks (or a million bananas)! This game starts with the Tiki Tak Tribe stealing DK’s beloved banana bounty, and he will stop at nothing to find his precious fruit! Bananas abound, but beating each level requires perfect precision as you bounce off bad guy bonces, bazooka-blast out of barrels, careen through caves in carts, and rampage atop Rambi the rhinoceros. Since Donkey Kong Country Returns HD stars the dynamic duo of Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, a friend can join in…

GAMEZONE PLAYING NOW The Plucky Squire is flat out fantastic! In this picture book come to life, you play as Jot and his friends (the heroes of the story). As you move from page to page of the book, the amazing presentation reveals you are heading towards a showdown with the villain, the wizard Humgrump. Suddenly, this fiendish foe spins up a spell that ejects Jot from the tale and into the real world! It’s up to you to get the story of the book back on track, and ensure there is still a happy ending! You will need to explore the game’s bedroom setting, and use portals to leap in and out of the trashed tome. The talented squire is pretty skilled with a sword, but the punchy puzzles…

GAMEZONE PLAYING NOW Monster truck racing may not be as fast as F1 or as radical as rally, but it does have hulking mountains of metal atop titanic tyres... careening around corners, jamming off jumps, and also fighting for first. Pretty cool. Monster Jam Showdown takes players to three main locations in Tour mode. There’s the parched desert of Death Valley, forests and rivers of Colorado, and snowy wilderness of Alaska. A number of event types await, including racing circuits, figure eight courses (watch out for other trucks), head-to-head tournaments, and freestyle contests where sick stunts reign supreme. The secret to success is building boost to blaze ahead, as well as tackling tight turns by using both front and rear steering. There’s plenty to unlock for the diehard monster truck…

K-Z: Hi Harry! How did it feel making 10 Super Silly Super Specials for Good Game Spawn Point's 15th anniversary? H: Writing the episodes was fun, because we could think about characters and storylines in silly ways. We mucked around a bit and riffed jokes on the spot. Shooting in a big studio with fancy lighting and a fully kitted out set was sick. We also used crash-mats, so I could fall over a bunch of times! K-Z: Any funny moments on set? H: In Episode 5: The Ridiculous RPG Quest, I had to throw a soccer ball at Screen Goblin. After a few takes, our director Dan asked me to throw it at the desk behind SG – so I did and beaned the desk light. It looked so…

LUCKY NUMBER 3 After the events of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic has finally found his family. It hasn’t always been easy, but now he lives with Tails and Knuckles in the home of their adoptive parents, Tom (AKA Donut Lord) and Maddie Wachowski. The end of the second film also introduced the videogame's concept of ‘Super Sonic’, where Sonic is powered by the Chaos Emeralds (making him even more powerful). With Tom busy as the Sheriff of Green Hills, and Maddie caring for animals as a veterinarian, it’s great that Sonic has close friends to race in the woods, or to help save the world. However, Team Sonic's next mission might be the most dangerous yet, as the government turns to the trio for help. PROJECT PROBLEM There has…

GAMEZONE PLAYING NOW Looking for a Zelda adventure that is delightfully different to any of the games that have come before? The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is here! The Princess has teamed up with a pixie partner named Tri, who has given Zelda sweet new spells to try. Using the Echo Power creates cool copies of objects and enemies, so Zelda can build bridges with beds, or toss a trusty trampoline to help bounce onto a ledge. You can even turn foes into friends and have them fight for you! Another ability lets the powerful princess pick up objects and also move automatically, while Swordfighter Form gives her a slash, jump and spin attack (but it doesn’t last long). You need these abilities to defeat the dungeons inside…

GAMEZONE PLAYING NOW Phew – the pinnacle of party games has reappeared! Parties around the world are saved! This time, you are whisked away to an island resort with seven sweet settings. Want to visit the lagoon with Goomba-shaped volcano and shipwreck? How about pushing for pole position on a raceway where you speed around Mario Kart-style? There’s even a three storey shopping mall with escalators and stalls! Each game board is about collecting coins and snagging sweet stars, but the real competition is the minigame after each turn. There are more than 110 to try, so you never know what’s next! You’ll go from arm wrestling robots to playing bongo drums with DK! Had enough of the classic board game mode? There’s also the Koopathlon, an online competition for…

In New York, human-mutant chaos reigns supreme (like delicious pizza)! The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will need to take to the streets and restore the peace. New mutants (or ‘Mewbies’) were doing well and being accepted by the human citizens of the city, but now some mutants are wreaking havoc. Sounds like a certain corporation is up to no good! Leo, Raph, Mikey, and Donnie need to utilise their unique ninja abilities to stop the mayhem being unleashed. The human-mutant relations that the brothers worked so hard to achieve is on the line! Enlist the help of April and Splinter as you play in either solo or local co-op mode. This game is perfect for any ninjutsu masters and ninjas-in-training, so prepare to cross the five boroughs, battle enemies who…

IN THE SECOND SEASON OF LEGO DREAMZZZ, MATEO… M: Has to find his groove again, and deal with not having Z-Blob. You see a lot of growth from him. KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR… M: MadTeo! I also voice him, and I think I did a good job making him feel distinct to Mateo! It was fun to play a bad guy. K-Zoners should look out for our Dream Crafting abilities – it’s how Mateo, Izzie and other characters change objects or scenarios with creativity. DIFFICULT LINES TO VOICE FOR MATEO… M: Most of the time, if I have a long monologue I have to redo it. If I’m recording with Larissa Dias (who plays Izzie), we try to make each other laugh and ruin takes – she’s truly my…

GAMEZONE COMING SOON Metroid fans have waited yonks for the next Metroid Prime game, and it’s finally almost here! Metroid Prime 4: Beyond buckles you into the boots of one-woman army Samus Aran. Samus sports an advanced armoured suit with a cannon on one arm and a ton of nifty abilities, like grappling across gaps and curling into a ball to roll through small spaces. If you’re new to Metroid, think mysterious alien worlds and a few high-tech research stations in space. The gameplay mixes movement puzzles with combat, then tees you up to tackle towering bosses. Levels are like labyrinths – as Samus unlocks new powers and abilities, she can access more areas. Samus can even scan enemies and the world around her for vital info and clues. Metroid…

GAMEZONE PLAYING NOW Levels in World of Goo 2 are a combo of a construction site and a strange alien infestation. The goal is to create a structure so that the gooey globs slinking around can be sucked up by the exit pipe. Grab the lumps of living liquid (one at a time) and lock them in place to grow your grid. The different goo balls also have specific talents. The black blobs can construct teetering towers, clear slimeballs suck up liquid, green go-getters can be reused repeatedly, and the pink peeps grow larger when wet. If you need a helping hand, you can sometimes use floating helium balloons or gain assistance from curious critters that shoot your cute crew across the map. Remember, you have limited blobs to use,…

GAMEZONE PLAYING NOW You may be an adorable feline in Cat Quest III, but you are a fierce fighter who won’t ever roll over (that’s for dogs). Nothing will stop you in your quest to find the treasure of legend – the Northern Star. Set in an epic open-world, Cat Quest III lets you seamlessly jump between sailing the seas and exploring the land. Every island has cool secrets to uncover. You will take on quests, open chests, and fight fiends. The combat system is great, letting you attack up close then dash away to fire off shots from your blunderbuss or cast a spell. There are stacks of different weapons, clothes, spells, and more to find, and they can all be upgraded. Most of the action takes place on…
