We are looking at some educational books designed to teach kids how to code. First up is Make Your Own Scratch Games, by author and videogame designer Anna Anthropy. This is a great tool for beginners, and will have them making their own games in no time.
Featuring a strong buddy tale of two Nazi-hunting sisters, Wolfenstein Youngblood attempts to take the series into a more modern era. With beautiful graphics, a smooth cooperative mode for two human players, a great story and plenty of action, it’s mission accomplished.
