PETA thinks that Animal Crossing: New Horizons is actually an unethical game. Which is weird. There are few games out there that are more wholesome than Animal Crossing: New Horizons. There’s no killing, no stealing, and no hardship of any kind. It’s just you on a tropical island catching bugs and fishing with a whole bunch of talking animals. What could be more family-friendly? Apparently, PETA doesn’t see it that way....

Our quick take Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4 TB MultiAir 170 Sportiva - 3.5 / 5 A car to pull at the heartstrings Beauty that runs only skin deep? Without heart, we are mere machines To recap The Sportiva version of the Alfa Giulietta brings you all the aesthetics of the Cloverleaf model without the associated running costs of the bigger engine. The MultiAir engine is still a star though and offers all the performance most will want, but the driving position, refinement and ride comfort and standard technology let the side down
It will be interesting to see how many people either cancel their orders for an alternative (such as going to a store) or simply forgo physical and go with digital. Nintendo is very good about releasing games day and date with their physical counterparts, so New Horizons will be ready at waiting at midnight on the eShop. New Horizons is the kind of game that makes sense digitally, too. With its pick-up-and-play nature, turning on the Switch for quick bursts of bug collecting will be much easier without having to fumble around with cartridges....
The launch of the Nvidia RTX 3060 brought two surprises. First was the fact that it came with a crypto-mining software limiter that supposedly prevents it from being used to mine for cryptocurrency. This effectively keeps the RTX 3060 geared towards its target audience, which is PC gamers. The second surprise was when Nvidia announced they’d be making a new line of GPUs that were going to be built specifically from crypto miners....
At the recent special launch event, the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT was revealed as the fourth graphics card in AMD’s RDNA 2 lineup. Boasting 12 GB VRAM and targeted at 1440p gaming, the RX 6700 XT should be a solid midrange option that can compete with Nvidia’s RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 3070. Despite the fact that the GPU market is a mess right now, AMD has stated that they’re doing everything they can to ensure there’s more stock on their website as well as board partners and manufacturers....
Islanders can unleash their inner rockstar in Animal Crossing: New Horizons with a slew of fan-made design codes. There’s a vast selection of band merch to look at, so let’s get right into it. The Essentials Every rock kid ends up acquiring a bin of essential records and one or two trusty jackets to look the part, or simply discourage unwanted social interactions. This record shelf by Redditor harpo-marxist will be a fixture of any music corner....
We’re three weeks into Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Your stores are open, your island is filling up with new residents, and you owe Tom Nook more bells than you care to admit. The game has, unsurprisingly, met or surpassed fan expectations simply by sticking to its winning formula. There have been almost zero complaints. However, fans are starting to wonder if a prominent feature of the game’s previous iterations is missing from New Horizons....
How does one evaluate success in a game like Animal Crossing: New Horizons? On the surface, a simple answer is by the star rating of an island, with more stars allowing access to content that is otherwise gated from players, but therein lies a problem for those who have no interest in conforming to a list of stringent, arbitrary rules sprung from a rather boring world view that limits what makes each island special....
In honor of April Fool’s Day, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is adding a mischievous new item – the Whoopee Cushion. The hilarious piece of furniture not only acts as a chair, but also produces the expected farting sound effect when a player sits down. The Whoopee Cushion is available in the Special Goods section of Nook Shopping. It launched earlier this week and will stick around until April 1. The prankster’s favorite gadget comes in red, yellow, and green, and produces several different farting sound effects when a victim plops down....
With August less than a week away, Nintendo is finally ready to talk about what the next update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons will bring. The biggest addition here is the launch of the Save Data Backup Feature, something that I recently inquired about. For something more related to actual gameplay, one feature from New Leaf is making a return alongside a nice summer celebration update. In a trailer posted to the official Animal Crossing Twitter account, the first feature shown off was the weekly fireworks shows....
15 Murphy Murphy featured in the Animal Crossing titles for the Nintendo Gamecube but then disappeared from the series for a while. He finally resurfaced as part of Animal Crossing: New Leaf’s Welcome Amiibo update. He was also found in the data for Happy Home Designer, though clearly never used. This adorable little bear cub villager shows his cranky personality with his heavy set brows that make it look as though he is often frowning....
It’s time to take the battle on-the-go, as publisher Gameforge and South Korean developer Aprogen Games’ SoulWorker: Anime Legends will be making its way to mobile devices later this month. In a press release, it was announced that the free-to-play MMORPG - a version of which is already available on PC - will be released on iOS and Android devices via the App Store and Google Play in July, with players being able to jump into the post-apocalyptic universe with all-new battles and encounters, exciting quests, and cel-shaded, anime-inspired cinematic gameplay....
BioWare’s Anthem has been plagued by many issues since its launch, with the studio implementing multiple patches in an effort to get the game into a more stable state. As each new week passes by, however, discoveries keep being made that require quick fixes. This week, one Anthem player found a quick trick that allows gamers to boost their damage, and he posted it to Reddit. Unfortunately for BioWare, it’s a trick that seems to go completely against how the support item system is supposed to function....
Last month, United States Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was joined by famous streamers DrLupo, Pokimane, Myth, and many more to host a Twitch stream playing Among Us and encouraging Americans to vote. AOC’s Twitch stream quickly became one of the most watched streams in history, boasting over 4.5 million views and 435,000 concurrent viewers. Now, AOC’s return to streaming on Twitch has raised a substantial amount of money for charity. AOC lived up to her promise to return to host another Twitch stream....
Apex Legends‘ Season 10 update is already drawing a lot of attention, and it’s not hard to see why. Between Call of Duty: Warzone‘s recent struggles and the quality of the update itself, now is a great time to return to Apex Legends or even play it for the first time. If it has been a while since you’ve played Apex Legends (or if you’ve simply never played the game at all), then it might be a good idea to familiarize yourself with the state of the game’s Legends roster....
Apex Legends has a vast array of weapons for you to choose from, with one of them being a submachine gun. There are four in all and while they all fall under the same gun type, they are not created equal. They each have something unique about them that sets them apart from the rest and makes them better in certain situations. You might already have a favorite but want to try something new and there are some things you should know before picking up a different gun....
A new creature has begun to inhabit King’s Canyon ahead of the upcoming season 2 update for Apex Legends. These dragon-like creatures, known in-game as Flyers, are a surprising addition to the game; like the Octane jump pads in pre-season one, Flyers have been added to the map without any prior warning, allowing players to discover the creatures on their own. As it turns out, Flyers are actually pretty useful little creatures, and finding them can reward you with valuable loot for you and your squad....
