Descenders Next is a sequel of sorts to Descenders, but it's pretty different. It's still about going down hills really fast, but it's no longer about doing so on pushbikes: instead we have snowboards and mountainboards. I played a little bit last year and loved it, so I'm pretty happy to see it's just shadowdropped on Steam after a delay from its initial April release date.Like its predecessor, Descenders Next...

Bramble Country is a challenge level in Donkey Kong Bananza that continues one of the game’s patterns: Sticking one Banandium Gem in an easy-to-miss but hard-to-reach spot. This one is slightly more devious than the other challenge levels, though. You can’t use your hand slap sonar to show where it’s hiding. In this Donkey Kong Bananza guide, we’ll show you where to find all bananas in Bramble Country. Bramble Country...
