Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is on its way to Nintendo Switch

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is set to be released on the 1st December for the Nintendo Switch, and this time around we’re expecting a bigger storyline, more characters and faster gameplay. So what do we know so far?

Light Fall is heading to Nintendo Switch

Light Fall for the Nintendo Switch is quite a big deal.

The adrenaline rush is second to none and makes the game fun and addictive and is its major selling point. The plot is quite straightforward and thin as it taps into the exhausted narrative of people up against aliens and...
