Here’s our Mario Maker Challenge Winners Run Part 1

We look at all the different versions of Nintendo 3DS handhelds you can buy and consider which may be the best fit for you.
We also check out the NFC peripheral for existing 3DS owners as well as cover plates.

On our second trip into the open world of Dr Who, we take a trip around the six different Dr Who worlds that we have now brought into one world by finding and activating the devices to teleport them together!

As we look around Skaro the Darlek home world we find Missy needs some help with a rusty Darlek! And we hunt for a way into the large Darlek statue! As we move into Trensalore the grave yard of the Tardis we discover an old friend of the Dr who needs a little help! And who could turn down Captain Jack?

Next is Talos the home world of the Cybermen and after doing some building we see what mission Madame … Has for us but not before we find a puzzle that only Chell from Portal 2 can help with! Next up is Mars where we discover how the new ability of ‘Hire a Hero’ works before finding Missy who needs some more help with some fires! Who could help with that? And finally into the 19th Century London at Christmas time where the Zygons are attacking! And we discover more build its and race icons!

You really need to build items in this open world to open up new challenges so don’t be afraid to spend those Lego studs!

IN a recent CNET article we have images of a new character being designed and 3D printed. Unexpectedly this looks like Vision from Age of Ultron — another good guy.

From the base it looks like another Marvel Battlegrounds character.

Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon parent’s guide.

1. Genre

Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon is an exploration and puzzle game. Through a series of missions, you control Luigi, who is equipped with the Poltergust 5000, a specialised vacuum cleaner used to capture ghosts.

Through beautifully drawn 3D rooms and chambers players guide Luigi and push, pull and open furniture to find ghosts, money and the hidden gems. The vacuum adds further interactions both to capture ghosts as well as reveal hidden objects.

The main mode has you retrieving pieces of the shattered Dark Moon by seeking them out in the five haunted mansions locations.

There is a cooperative multiplayer mode that can be played locally or online via Nintendo Network. This offers a download play option so multiple people can play with one copy of the game.

2. Story

King Boo has escaped and shattered the Dark Moon crystal causing the ghosts to become hostile. Professor E Gadd, sheltering in a bunker, recruits Luigi to find the five pieces of the Dark Moon, which have been scattered to different mansions.

3. Developer

Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon was developed by Next Level Games and published by Nintendo.

4. Format

Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon retailed at £39.99, but can now be found at a reduced price.

5. Duration and Difficulty

Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon is a substantial game on the handheld, feeling more like a console title in both game-play and duration. It should take around 20 hours to finish the main campaign while the multi-player will extend play-time considerably as will collecting every hidden object.

6. UK Rating

In the UK and Europe, PEGI rates Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon as suitable for persons aged 7 years and over only. It contains pictures or sounds likely to be scary to young children

7. Other Ratings

In the US, the ESRB rates Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon as suitable for those 10 and over. “Players can fire seeds at plant creatures, set off “cartoony” explosions, and shoot spiked balls at enemies; characters whoop or squeal in a whimsical manner when they take damage. One sequence depicts a large monster that emits flatulent sounds and balls of slime at Luigi.

8. Themes

Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon plays to its horror theme well without becoming overly dark. There are creepy overtones throughout but this is more a Sunday matinee style scares than anything physiologically disturbing.

9. Why people play:
Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon is a superbly produced handheld game that easily matches many full console experiences. Not only is the central mechanic well implemented, it also develops intelligently as the game progresses.

Small touches like the flash of Luigi’s torch, the original DS styled communicated, and even Luigi’s nervous whistling while he creeps around the hunted mansions give the game a sense of finesse. Each level is like a fresh world in miniature to explore and conquer. The amount of hidden content will have players returning to completed locations time and time again.

For both younger players, adventure game fans or played together in a family Luigi’s Mansion is like peering into a beautifully sculpted diorama and discovering you can walk around in it.

Some reports online are seeing freeze bugs for the Doctor Who levels in the game. We resolved a freeze in our play of 1.03 by reducing the number of characters on the Toy Pad and simply waiting for the game to resume.

We have finally reached wave two of LEGO Dimensions and we are heading into the eagerly anticipated Dr Who open / adventure World.

At a first glance it looks like a rather small world of 21st Century London! But it is full of surprises. We discover Missy who has a problem with some doplegangers, and then we discover that Lady Vastra has discovered some kidnapping going on! So the missions fit very nicely into the Dr Who universe!

We then look at how the Tardis works with traveling through time and space! And explained how you can play as your favourite Dr! And this is where we realise that the rather small open world must be made bigger! By using the Tardis we can travel to other locations in time and space such as Skaro, Mars and 19th century London and with the help of WildStyle we create a device to transport the world and connect it to 21st Century London which then unlocks all of its secrets and gold bricks for you to hunt down! But to do this we need to use the Dr’s Hacking ability and we show you the rather odd mini game puzzle it gives you!

Looking at the different worlds This open world has to offer we realise it is so vast and having to bring all the different worlds together through time and space before you are able to explore them properly is going to take time! So check back soon when we will show you more with all of the worlds connected!
