Bikes. Pelt them down a hill faster than the speed of sound, brake late, then skid the back wheel round to take a corner and narrowly avoid a poodle out doing its morning ablutions. Weave in and out of the wheelie bins round the back of the garages because you thought it looked cool on Ski Sunday. This is what I hoped for in Wheel World, Messhof's new open-world bike riding adventure/racing game that also happens to be about a ghost bike (Ghost Bike being its original, and probably better, name)...

Brevity soul'd or no, wit can also be the enemy of honesty; a fundamentally performative pin brooch with an artificial sheen. When I go back over my notes after playing a game, at least two-thirds of them will routinely be useless and powerfully crap jokes I've written in lieu of practical points because - even in a document no-one but me will ever read - I cannot bear to cease reminding myself that I'm an implausibly clever sausage. Occasionally I do remember to just jot down an unadorned facto...

There'll also be Pokémon HOME restrictions. Perhaps the biggest surprise of the latest Pokémon Presents broadcast was the reveal of the new Switch and mobile title Pokémon Champions.
