April’s looking to be a solid month!

Boxing has also been criminally underrated in recent memory, as EA’s Fight Night series ended an entire decade ago. Sheffield studio Steel City Interactive plans to change that with its own upcoming take on the sport of kings, with Esports Boxing Club.

Final Fantasy is about as Japanese as Yakitori, karaoke, and knowing full well that tentacles don’t belong in animated series. Fans of the franchise over in Japan recently voted for their favourite games and characters in the franchise, and guess what? Final Fantasy X came out on top.

Undoubtedly one of Nintendo’s best ever pure handheld devices, the 3DS leaves behind a legacy of excellence and triumph that few other systems could hope to beat, let alone replicate.
