Devolver's new roguelike looks great.
Ball x Pit looks like a cross between a roguelike, Breakout, Puzzle Bobble, and a base-builder, all in one flashy game. I could see myself losing hours to this.

Today's Wordle answer for Saturday, June 7
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Welcome to your first Wordle win of the weekend. Keep it simple with an easy click through to the June 7 (1449) answer if you like, or relax, see how things go, and know that today's hint is here if you need it. Make sure you check out our general tips and tricks too—however you want to win, they can help get you there. I had a proper lightbulb moment today. Wordle didn't just give me enough clues to spot the answer (after perhaps a touch longer than I would have liked), but it gave me the pleasant surprise of instantly flipping from a state I'd describe as "Please help, can someone explain words again?" to an instant win. Well, it felt like an instant win after all the stumbling about that happened above it, anyway. When you take a cardboard delivery box and give it a second lease of life, you're doing this. Yes, there is a double letter in today's puzzle. A good starting word can be the difference between victory and defeat with the daily puzzle, but once you've got the basics, it's much easier to nail down those Wordle wins. And as there's nothing quite like a small victory to set you up for the rest of the day, here are a few tips to help set you on the right path: A good opening guess should contain a mix of unique consonants and vowels. Narrow down the pool of letters quickly with a tactical second guess. Watch out for letters appearing more than once in the answer. There's no racing against the clock with Wordle so you don't need to rush for the answer. Treating the game like a casual newspaper crossword can be a good tactic; that way, you can come back to it later if you're coming up blank. Stepping away for a while might mean the difference between a win and a line of grey squares. Win the weekend. The answer to the June 7 (1449) Wordle is REUSE. Past Wordle answers can give you some excellent ideas for fun starting words that keep your daily puzzle-solving fresh. They are also a good way to eliminate guesses for today's Wordle, as the answer is unlikely to be repeated. Here are some recent Wordle answers: June 6: EDIFY June 5: DATUM June 4: CEASE June 3: ADMIN June 2: PREEN June 1: ROUGH May 31: HABIT May 30: IDIOM May 29: QUASH May 28: POLAR Wordle gives you six rows of five boxes each day, and you'll need to work out which secret five-letter word is hiding inside them to keep up your winning streak. You should start with a strong word like ARISE, or any other word that contains a good mix of common consonants and multiple vowels. You'll also want to avoid starting words with repeating letters, as you're wasting the chance to potentially eliminate or confirm an extra letter. Once you hit Enter, you'll see which ones you've got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn't in the secret word at all. 🟨 means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. 🟩 means you've got the right letter in the right spot. Your second guess should compliment the starting word, using another "good" word to cover any common letters you missed last time while also trying to avoid any letter you now know for a fact isn't present in today's answer. With a bit of luck, you should have some coloured squares to work with and set you on the right path. After that, it's just a case of using what you've learned to narrow your guesses down to the right word. You have six tries in total and can only use real words (so no filling the boxes with EEEEE to see if there's an E). Don't forget letters can repeat too (ex: BOOKS). If you need any further advice feel free to check out our Wordle tips, and if you'd like to find out which words have already been used you can scroll to the relevant section above. Originally, Wordle was dreamed up by software engineer Josh Wardle, as a surprise for his partner who loves word games. From there it spread to his family, and finally got released to the public. The word puzzle game has since inspired tons of games like Wordle, refocusing the daily gimmick around music or math or geography. It wasn't long before Wordle became so popular it was sold to the New York Times for seven figures. Surely it's only a matter of time before we all solely communicate in tricolor boxes.

Amazon Just Revealed a New Face of James Bond, But Not in A Movie
Well before a new actor for James Bond has been revealed for the next movie, Amazon MGM, along with video game developer IO Interactive, have dropped the first look at a younger James Bond. The game is called 007 First Light, and it's an utter reboot of the entire James Bond canon. Featuring a younger 007 on his first mission, First Light reimagines the entire Bond story, but with all the classic elements. In fact, if the next trailer for the actual next James Bond movie is half as good as this, we'll all be in luck. Watch the new trailer for 007 First Light below. Not taking place in any previous Bond canon, First Light seems like a game that approaches the Bond story anew. With graphics on par with the recent game Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, there's certainly a cinematic quality to this trailer. Plus, plenty of guns, gadgets, and over-the-top villains pervade the entire affair. Hardcore Bond fans will certainly be pleased by the flavor of this. Particularly those who have followed the expanded novels from authors like Kim Sherwood and Anthony Horowitz. Like First Light, those books explore both a wider look at MI6, as well as different, younger takes on James Bond. Here's hoping the next Bond movie is half as good as this Just Revealed a New Face of James Bond, But Not in A Movie first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 4, 2025

The Switch 2's biggest game changer for old titles isn't its performance boost
With the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, I was initially focused on playing all the new Switch 2 launch games. Mario Kart World dominated my first day with the device, but I already had a list of original Switch games I wanted to return to on the newer hardware to see how they benefited from the improved hardware. Aside from the games with bespoke Switch 2 Editions, I was curious to see how big a difference the experience would be for these older games with improved stability and maybe a bit of a visual bump. As impressed as I was with how much better nearly all my old titles ran on the Switch 2, it is an accessibility option absent from the Switch that turned out to be the biggest game changer. Recommended Videos Accessibility on demand One of the driving criticisms of the Switch was its power. As the generation went on, the issues only became more prominent, with games like Pokémon Scarlet and Violet being prime examples of games that buckled to the point of breaking on the underpowered device. Third-party ports were especially downgraded compared to their PS5, Xbox Series, and PC siblings, and even Nintendo's best first-party offerings were starting to show cracks. The Switch 2's power is more than enough to brute force its way past almost all of those issues, even for games without dedicated upgrades or patches, but it doesn't solve the big issue I had with so many Switch games: the controls. I love the Joy-cons, and the Pro Controller is arguably my favorite modern gamepad, but those can't alleviate the lack of accessibility options in Nintendo games. There's a larger argument to be made for how far behind Nintendo is compared to the likes of PlayStation and Xbox for players with greater accessibility needs, but what always baffled me was how even the most basic options had been ignored. Specifically, I'm talking about remapping controls. There are tons of examples to pull from, but my personal biggest gripe was with Tears of the Kingdom. By default, the game maps the jump button to X and dash to B, which are the north and south buttons, respectively. That makes the act of dashing into a jump a particularly uncomfortable and unintuitive action, despite how frequently the player is likely to do it. The only alternative control scheme the game offers is to swap jump and dash, which in no way solves that problem. That leaves players to either remap their buttons on the system-level in the Switch options — assuming you know that is even available — or hope you eventually get accustomed to it. Playing these older games on the Switch 2 doesn't magically add fully rebindable buttons to old games, but it does make it much more convenient to work around it. Button remapping on the Switch 2 works nearly identically to the Switch, but with one key difference — the Quick Settings shortcut. By holding the Home button, you can bring up a few settings to tweak without having to exit your game and dig through the system menu to find them. By default, button remapping isn't included in that list, but if you take a moment to add it then you can give yourself a quick and easy workaround. Combined with the ability to save specific control schemes as profiles, jumping into a game like Tears of the Kingdom, swapping controls, and then going back to the default on the fly is about as good of a solution as I could hope for. It can't be understated just how much my experience with certain games was improved over my original playthrough once I wasn't fighting the controls. Compared to that, better frame rates and resolution are just icing on the cake. This isn't an excuse for future Switch 2 games to neglect this feature. For as much as Nintendo prides itself on creating experiences that are fun for everyone, its lack of accessibility options has always felt like a glaring omission. We're just at the start of the Switch 2 generation and have to see if this changes, but I hope this workaround isn't treated as a solution for what should be an expected feature in future Nintendo games.
