51 h. ago Mario Kart World review – a riotous road trip for every player

Nintendo Switch 2; NintendoThe Nintendo Switch 2’s flagship game is a winner, and often feels more like a journey with your friends than a straight competitionI realised that we might have a Mario Kart World problem in our house when my sons ran up to me after our first few hours with the game, proudly showing off circular indentations on their little thumbs from holding down the accelerator button so hard. Mildly alarmed, I examined my own thumb to find the same evidence of getting over-absorbed in the knockabout, chaotic fun of our tournaments. You can play Mario Kart online now – even with video chat, in World – but it’s just not the same as playing with people on the couch next to you. I imagine this game will revive living-room multiplayer for millions of families.God only knows how many hours I have spent racing Mario and his pals around their cartoon wonderland circuits since 1992 – this series has accompanied me through my entire life, the reliable mainstay that everyone wan...

5 d. ago Should you take your dog on holiday? We went on a European road trip with our border terrier to find out

Dogs have a sense of adventure, don’t they? We thought Missy would enjoy exploring France and Spain. She had other ideasPlus tips on travelling with dogsWhen, two years ago now, our dog sitters cancelled on us just 24 hours before we were due to go on our summer holiday, we felt more than a little put out. Aware that we couldn’t leave Missy, our border terrier, home alone with a tin opener, we sent out frantic texts and made urgent phone calls before at last finding someone, a friend of a friend of, I think, another friend, and simply hoped for the best. What else were we to do? The flights were non-refundable.It all turned out fine, but it was not an experience we were keen to repeat. And so, the following year, we took Missy with us. Dogs are portable, after all, and have a nose for adventure. Also, this was to be an extended holiday, away for a full month – working part time in order to fund it – and we couldn’t be apart from her for that long. Continue reading...

2 w. ago Aïda Muluneh on capturing the UK’s contradictions: ‘It’s hard to imagine there are people going hungry’

For her latest exhibition, the Ethiopian photographer drove a minivan around the country, resulting in images that explore identity, gender and conflict. ‘It was a crash course in history,’ she saysGrowing up, Aïda Muluneh moved around a lot. She was born in Ethiopia, but also lived in Yemen, Cyprus, Canada and, for a short time, England. There was a spell in Sunderland for about eight months when she was six: “My mother was dating a guy from the UK,” she says. “I have very distinct memories of England. I went to school briefly, but I didn’t really speak any English. I remember the cold and the grey skies.”More than 40 years later, Muluneh returns to the UK, invited by Impressions Gallery to make new work across Bradford, Belfast, Cardiff and Glasgow for this year’s UK City of Culture programme. Comprising 22 images, The Necessity of Seeing was made over a month-long road trip. She crammed all her equipment into two cars and a minivan, along with a mobile studio, painted backdrops a...
