The story of Among Us is almost unheard of in gaming. After releasing way back in the heady days of 2018, InnerSloth’s hidden role game achieved little to mention as a relatively unknown indie title. It was cute, but the sort of social gameplay that it offered really wasn’t on everyone’s mind. And then the pandemic hit. Suddenly, social games where you actually had to talk to people weren’t seen as a liability but a necessity....

The Animal Crossing franchise is one of the most accessible and adorable in Nintendo’s repertoire. These quirky life sims just offer an experience unlike any other. As cute and customizable as the player’s avatar is, it’s the villagers—island residents, as they’re called in Animal Crossing: New Horizons—that really complete a player’s town or island. From the super-popular villagers like Raymond the cat to the unappreciated, forgotten ones, these NPCs have come a very long way since the franchise began with Japan’s Animal Forest in 2001....

There’s a lot that has made Animal Crossing iconic: Tom Nook, Isabelle, the player character themselves, and their unique hairstyles, as well as the Gyroids. These creatures have been a constant theme in each of the games ever since the beginning, although their purpose and use has changed quite a bit over time. From being actual furniture to having a utility, the Gyroids have evolved throughout the years. With New Horizons, only Lloid has made a return as the Gyroid that takes donations for a new bridge or incline, which means new players, in particular, might not be so familiar with these peculiar looking creatures....

Apex Legends is a great battle royale game that had a rough start but with some developer love is starting to come into its own. Players are dropped into brutal battle royale combat using whatever gear they can find and handy character specific abilities to take down foes. While a veteran can win with practically any weapon in the game there are some guns that consistently rise to the top in terms of how deadly they are, even in the hands of a novice....

The surge of Apex Legend’s popularity has not gone unnoticed, with film director, producer, screenwriter, and animator Neill Blomkamp also aware of the game.
