Review by Matt S. Mario Golf: Super Rush is at its best when it’s not trying to be super or rush. When it’s focused on simply being a bright, colourful golf game, starring Mario and the gang, it is the best Mario sports title that we’ve seen in quite some…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Nintendo’s latest Mario Golf game has now landed! Mario Golf: Super Rush is a delight, blending excellent standard golf, with some really entertaining, manic “party” games and ways to play. What’s more, the game has a story mode that is just gorgeous, and looks like it…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The appeal of golf is that, unlike most other sports, the competition is almost entirely internal. Sure, you’re trying to land at the top of a leaderboard, but to do that you’re testing your own powers of concentration and precision, rather than trying to directly out-perform…

Read MoreGolf is a sport that is more difficult to adapt to a videogame than it sounds on paper. After all, it’s a ridiculously sedate sport in real life, with walking between shots being about the closest it comes to action, and games tend to cut the walking bit out of…
Read MoreReview by Shaan J. Sports games have essentially become synonymous with annual releases, and each new title is often accompanied by buzzwords like “career”, “customisation”, or “social”.
