There are games that never get old, and Burnout is one of them. It’s still packing a massive punch after all these years with it’s no-rules racing. Burnout Paradise: Remastered slams over to the Nintendo Switch, and brings with it tons of white-hot, fiery crashes.

GiN Reviewer Marion Constante is a Star Wars double agent, showing us gameplay from both sides of the Star Wars Battlefront Death Star DLC.
