Feature | The Tony Hawk's remaster does justice to one of the greatest demos of all-time
Skate expectations.
Here's a riddle for you. I've never properly played a Tony Hawk's game, yet I put more hours into Tony Hawk's Pro Skater on the original PlayStation than anything else on the console. Okay, it's not a particularly tough riddle to crack - like a lot of kids back then, demo discs were a lifeline, and there was one demo that ruled them all.

Feature | SNK's handheld classics work just brilliantly on the Switch
The future is now.
It feels like ancient history now, but you might remember that Sony's last dedicated handheld gaming machine went by the codename NGP - or Next-Gen Portable. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it always felt to me like a little nod to that other handheld NGP that launched just over ten years prior. SNK's Neo Geo Pocket was handheld royalty, a brilliantly sturdy little thing defined as much by its limitations as anything else, and complete with a microswitched stick that felt like the best thing in directional control since the d-pad.
