Three children were left overjoyed after receiving 'the best Christmas present in the world' - bionic arms.

The campaign, launched by mother Sarah Lockey, helps families of children with missing limbs to fundraise for bionic arms.

Ettie's Mum, Alyse, said her daughter 'screamed' when she found out about her new Hero Arm - which she would get just in time for Christmas.

Enjoyable picture book adventure The Plucky Squire is adding a Streamlined Mode in response to feedback around the game's difficulty and overly-chatty characters.

Changes for Streamlined Mode include "trims" to "less necessary dialogue", of which there is plenty.
