Game: Trolls Remix Rescue Format: PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, PC Genre: Adventure Release: Oct 27 You know the awesome Trolls movies, right? Bright, colourful, musical and very hairy? Well, it’s time to jump into the Troll Kingdom for real, not only exploring its familiar sights, sounds and characters, but also saving it from an evil threat. In typical adventure game form, the land is under attack from an evil force and this time, it’s a mastermind of melody. This paves the way for not only an adventure to save the day, but one in which you’re not just getting past baddies and solving puzzles, but also partaking in rhythm-based, musical minigames. Ones that involve the songs you love from the films, such as Get Back Up Again and…

KRASH: Are you just a fan boy or have you got the goods? Grayson: I’m not a fan boy anymore, like a lot of the guys in the locker room. I’m here to show I’m on the same level as all these guys. I may not have won my match with AJ Styles but I got backstage that night and went to the locker room and was like, “Yeah. I’m right. I do belong here.” It gave me the confidence that there isn’t anyone who can touch me. That’s the attitude I’ve brought into 2023. KRASH: You like being compared to The Miz – what advice have you taken from him? Grayson: There are a lot of good wrestlers in this company, but I don’t think there are as many…

Game: The Smurfs 2: The Prisoner of the Green Stone Format: PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, PC Genre: Platformer Release: November 2 That Handy Smurf is always in the thick of the action, isn’t he? He is forever innovating and creating, but it doesn’t always turn out too well. In the excellent 2021 3D platform adventure game The Smurfs: Mission Vileaf, it was his Smurfizer invention that saved the day from Gargamel. For this follow-up game, however, it’s his latest invention that has caused all the chaos. The centre of the story this time around is the SmurfoMix. Handy Smurf’s invention is a weapon with many secret and surprising talents, but it requires one special ingredient to work. The Green Stone from Gargamel’s laboratory. When the tale begins, Handy…

Game: Sonic Superstars Format: PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, PC Genre: Platformer Release: Oct 17 After last year’s brilliant, open-world adventure game Sonic Frontiers, the blue blur, Sonic the Hedgehog, offers up an entirely different experience with Sonic Superstars. This latest game heads back to the series’ 2D platformer routes. But there’s nothing old-school about the way this game looks and feels. Indeed, Sonic Superstars is beautiful. There are 12 zones to play through and rather than lean heavily on levels from yesteryear as the series has been known to do, this time around they feel fresh and new. Plus, they have a 3D feel to them, even though you play in the 2D space. There’s plenty of variety in the zones and they are richly detailed with a modern video…

UPSIDE DOWN HOUSE Not only is the Upside Down House upside down, but everything in it is too. The house was built as part of an exhibition to attract tourists in Germany and has chairs, tables and carpets -- all stuck to the ceiling! Some people who go inside say they feel sick because of the topsy-turvy surrounds. Now all they need is an upside down family to live in the house… Bonus: Has definite freak-out appeal. Bummer: Trying to use and upside down dining table could be tricky. STONE HOUSE PORTUGAL Talk about being between a rock and a hard place! The stone house was built between two giant stones and is linked with a concrete mix. It’s tucked into the Fafe Mountains in Portugal and attracts thousands of…

The mighty ape rules over his home on Skull Island, and it’s no easy task. This is a place full of ginormous beasts who all want to take Kong’s crown. Which makes it not only a great setting for a film, but also a game. But what was Kong like before he was king? That’s the question asked in this beastly third-person action-adventure game. Skull Island: Rise of Kong takes us back to a time when our hairy hero is an orphaned teenager looking to make his mark. His parents have been killed by the current king of Skull Island,…

SHAME OF THE MONTH When I was nine my family and I went to Movieworld. Even though I don’t like rollercoasters I was so excited to go! I was looking forward to this day for weeks. After I’d done some stuff with my family I was walking around trying to find the bathroom and someone called out my name. It was my crush from school, and she was standing by herself at the front of the line to the tallest rollercoaster in the park. I ran over to say hello. She BEGGED me to come on the ride with her because she didn’t want to go by herself. I was super scared, but I couldn’t say no. The ride started to move slowly at first and I thought I could…
