December 22: A new Splatfest is starting soon for Splatoon 3, with an event planned based around the holidays. The theme asks how you spend it. Do you spend time with friends, family, or by yourself?

You’ll be able to give input when the Splatest is held on January 13, 2024. However, players will be able to pick their team earlier on January 5. Note that you’ll be able to get involved at any point – even after the Splatfest begins – so choosing right away isn’t mandatory.

Prince of Persia The Lost Crown review

System: Switch
Release date: January 18, 2024
Developer: Ubisoft
Publisher: Ubisoft


Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown came as something of a surprise when it was announced during Summer Game Fest last year.

A brand new 2.5D entry was probably the last thing anyone expected, and while The Lost Crown won’t be the game that many fans were asking for, it nonetheless stands out as a fantastic entry in the series that is more than worth your time.
