If you are already bored of Christmas permeating every facet of life with songs and movies every which way you look, The Baby in Yellow has you covered with a Christmas update that is a little bit different.

Originally created by two ex-Rockstar developers in 48 hours, you take on the role of a childminder who finds themselves looking after a demon-possessed baby, trying to feed them, play with them and put them to bed as…

Wreckfests’ mobile release brings demolition driving glory to any location

HandyGames have officially released the mobile port of the demolition racing game Wreckfest. Whilst standard racing games are very fun and the thrill of speeding around corners never wears off, throwing in the ability to smash your opponent to bits takes it to another level of childish glee. Wreckfest is a destruction-derby racing-style game that has been sorely missing from the market since the likes of the 90s Destruction Derby series. There are multiple racing types to engage with such as standard tarmac ovals to get the best speed, rally-eske offroad tracks to whip out the drifts, and the good old-fashioned demolition bowls. Whilst the racing aspect of the game is incredibly good and r…

UNO! Mobile and Google Meet team up to deliver seamless calls and gameplay

Mattel163 has partnered up with Google to enhance user experience across both brands. They also unveiled a new feature for the UNO! Mobile App and Google Meet.

The new feature will allow those in a Google Meet video meeting to use the live-sharing function to play UNO! together on Android. Sadly Apple is not compatible for obvious reasons. When using Google Meet on a device with Andr…
