It seems like every month I start at least one of my reviews by pointing out how the gaming industry has gone back to its roots, putting me firmly in retro heaven.
This month is no different, with yet another classic seeing a modern day revamp. This time is the turn of everyone’s favourite hungry little pink beach ball, Kirby.
Kirby’s Epic Yarn starts in Dream Land, where, as usual, Kirby is on the hunt for something to eat. He stumbles upon an odd looking tomato and, just as he is about to eat it, a strange wizard made out wool appears and sucks him into a magic sock. Fo’real.
When he wakes up, Kirby find himself in a land made entirely out of cloth, buttons and all manner of other things you would expect find in a hobby craft store. What’s more, he appears to been turned into wool himself.

Let it be known that this humble writer is no tennis aficionado.
Beyond recognising names like Federer, Nadal and Murray, and catching the occasional match while channel flicking between cartoons, my real world knowledge of tennis is little-to-none. But, without even really knowing much about the sport, Top Spin 4 just ‘feels’ right, and from the moment you play your first match, tennis fan or not, you’ll find it hard to disagree.
2K Czech’s latest tennis sim is one of those games that just seems to nail everything it needs too. It’s a tennis game that looks up to nobody, and why would it? Although it classes itself as a “simulator”, Top Spin 4 is actually an easily accessible, fantastically put together gameplay experience that expertly marries technical ability with pot luck chance.
