Feature | Apple Arcade: Pilgrims is a spry treat
Fetch quest.
One of the things I'm already learning about Apple Arcade is that it's quite hard to stay on top of it. The service launched with enough stuff to make it a bit of a challenge to pick through everything, and as of last week - maybe this week? - there's now 100 games available.

Feature | I beat Pokémon Go's Giovanni by a graveyard and it felt suitably heroic
Boss battled.
You know those long corridors you get before a boss battle? There's one of those in my town leading up to a cemetery, and on a cold November evening it is lined by the silhouettes of trees, backlit by foggy full moon light. It's the third place I'd searched for Giovanni, leader of Team Rocket, and as I reach the cemetery gate and Giovanni finally appears, all sharp suit and no eyebrows, ready for battle, the setting feels like it's been designed perfectly.

Video | Stormland is an Oculus exclusive that pushes the boundaries of VR
Head in the clouds.
For the first 15 minutes or so, Stormland feels like your standard, story-driven VR experience. Movement speed is slow, there are basic environmental puzzles to solve and your route through the game is linear and littered with points where you just have to stand around and listen to someone talk. Sounds more like Yawnland at the moment, am I right?

Review | Pokémon Sword and Shield review - a shadow of a former great
Little England.
Did you know that Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon - the jumbo, Stay Puft forms your little creatures can rather endearingly assume during certain battles - are actually just projections? Your barely two-foot-tall Pikachu isn't actually growing to the height of a skyscraper - or the girth of the classic chunky design, for that matter. It's just an illusion. A smart way to combine the AWOL, slightly unwieldy Z-Moves and Mega Evolutions of previous generations into a single, spectacular three-turn mechanic in battles, sure. But the scale of those battles, the spectacle, is fake.

Digital Foundry | Capcom Home Arcade review: the DF Retro verdict
Arcade perfect?
The Capcom Home Arcade is an absolute delight. It delivers almost all of what you might hope for, but there are some genuine surprises on top of that. Yes, the unit does an admirable job of replicating the classic coin-operated experience on a range of genuinely great games, but the biggest takeaway is how it actually introduced me to less prolific - but no less enjoyable - titles from a golden age of arcade history. Even though the line-up contains just 16 games in all, there's actually a palpable sense of discovery here and I came away from the product even more impressed by Capcom's arcade heritage.
