Animal Crossing has always had great seasonal items. Halloween, Christmas, and even Valentine’s Day have seen new items to fill a player’s home. The trend has continued to Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Since its release, Nintendo has been providing continuous updates, some of which have included new holiday items for players to get. The newest update brought a new set of spooky items, and with Christmas coming around the corner, what better time to dwell on the past seasonal items in hopes that a few of them make their returns....

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has taken the world by storm, making it a must-buy for anyone with a Nintendo Switch. But what if someone loves what Animal Crossing has to offer but can’t afford to get themselves a console? What if they just prefer playing computer games over console ones?

It’s a new month, which means new aquatic creatures to drag to the surface and confine to an exhibit inside Blathers’ museum. What’s on the way to your island’s waters? Let’s find out by looking at all the new ocean-dwelling additions for August. What’s New This Month?

Amiibo allow Animal Crossing: New Horizons players to invite the villagers of their choice to move onto their islands. The New Horizons amiibo cards are the sole form of amiibo interactivity within Nintendo’s latest hit. While a optional system that allows for those with an affinity for specific villagers to ensure their favorites move-in is significant, New Leaf, the 3DS mainline entry that preceded New Horizons, included a way to utilize amiibo from other Nintendo franchises....

With King’s Canyon back permanently in Apex Legends thanks to the new map rotation system, players are trying to figure out which characters perform better on the classic map compared to World’s Edge. The layout and playstyle for King’s Canyon is quite different compared to the newer World’s Edge, and thus the meta has shifted a bit when it comes to who is dropping into King’s Canyon. In this tier list, there will be a break down for where every character in Apex Legends stands in the current King’s Canyon meta, and why they have shifted compared to their World’s Edge ranking....

Respawn Entertainment released an intriguing trailer for the upcoming Apex Legends Legacy earlier today, dropping hints and teasers all over the three minute video. It seems like the new season of Apex Legends might have something other than just the usual battle royale mode in store. The action-packed trailer starts off with the portrayal of the latest addition to the Apex Legends, Valkyrie, as she’s seen flying through the air, dodging missiles and all sorts of attacks being sent her way....

Following accusations of manipulating Steam awards, prehistoric action game ARK: Survival Evolved will have sheep wandering among dinosaurs after next major update. After a minor kerfuffle, Studio Wildcard has announced that ARK: Survival Evolved will have sheep included in the game from the next update onward. The studio had first implied that it would only add Ovis aries if ARK won the “Best Use of a Farm Animal” category in the ongoing Steam awards, but after uproar among players the studio was forced to sheepishly confirm the new addition to the game’s menagerie....

The Arrowverse has been around for over five years, and the number of fans has grown exponentially since then. Because the CW quickly went to work on several shows to spin off from Arrow, more and more people have dipped their toes into the Arrowverse. The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and Supergirl, each have their own fans. Due to the similarity of the four shows, fans of one are likely to be fans of the others....

For those that invested a lot of money in a brand new PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, it’s important that there are games that at some level take advantage of the hardware. Although it could be argued that Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla doesn’t quite hit that kind of benchmark it’s still a very good looking title with a massive open-world to explore. Unfortunately, Valhalla didn’t quite live up to expectations when it came to being optimized for the PS5 and the Xbox Series X, and performance on the bigger more powerful consoles took a hit....

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has just been revealed for a few days, but the mysteries are already beginning to pile up. Somehow, both male and female Eivor are canon, yet Ubisoft stopped short of explaining how. Social Stealth is returning but with an unspecified twist. And another mystery has been the runes scattered across the official AC: Valhalla website. It was first discovered by Twitter user Cristophorus who then decided to extract the whole image of runes for translation....

The worlds that Shigeru Miyamoto, Takashi Tezuka, Eiji Aonuma, and so many other talented people have given us with the Legend of Zelda series are vast, multi-faceted, and draw from a melange of different influences and cultures. While the final products we end up with are (mostly) amazing, there’s so much more creativity that went on behind the scenes we never really got to see. Well, thanks to things like the Hyrule Historia and other talks that the Big N have given over the years, we’ve been able to see, if only for just a moment, the steps and missteps utilized in taking one of our most beloved video game properties and creating something truly unique with it....

Nostalgia has been a major facet of video game culture for a long time now, but it seems to have reached a fever pitch in recent years. From prices of retro games skyrocketing to Nintendo struggling to keep up with the insanely high demand for its “Classic” line of console revivals, it’s obvious that both the hardcore gaming crowd and mainstream casual gamers have really developed a taste for the simpler days of 8- and 16-bit video gaming goodness– and are willing to shell out big bucks to satisfy that craving....

Spoiler alert! As you might guess when reading an article about open ends at the conclusion of a video game, a majority of the talk is going be about, you know, the end of that video game. So if you have yet to complete Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and want to keep the story as a surprise, turn back now. Otherwise, let’s ponder together about all of the questions raised by this game....

Franchise media doesn’t only mean TV shows, comics, or movies. It comprises of just about anything associated with the material at hand. This includes toy lines and action figures. Companies such as Disney make more from merchandise than they do from movie tickets, which is why if you think you’re important to film developers by watching their film, you’re actually not nearly as important as the kids who buy toys based off said films....

Teen Titans, a show filled with strong character, powerful story lines, and deep and grounded life lessons was by and large a hit, during its early 2000’s run. So when word began to spread about the Cartoon Network bringing the show back, fans were thrilled by the idea of an updated take on the legendary team of young superheroes and sidekicks. Then, Teen Titans Go! arrived. It was nearly unrecognizable to fans of the old series....

We all love playing games. Be it alone or with friends, the experience is often competitive and challenging. There are plenty of great games out there that make us try our absolute best either trying to beat personal bests or defeating our closest friends. However, that’s all for naught when some players decide to cheat. Be it in multiplayer or single player, cheats have been around for a while and most of us have used them at least once....

Concept cars are nothing new, for decades car manufacturers have been pushing the boundaries of design and creating incredible cars way beyond their time. Usually, these cars are created to gauge public interest at the big motor shows before production begins in earnest, but sometimes they’re just a way for carmakers to demonstrate creative abilities and show off new technologies. We recently covered incredible new concept cars from the last couple of years, but what about concept cars from the past....

Thanks to Bethesda’s creative efforts, RPG fans have the entire world of Tamriel to explore and make a name for themselves. In The Elder Scrolls (and The Elder Scrolls Online), players take on the role of characters that decide the fate of Tamriel’s many provinces. On the one hand, they can go straight to saving the world in one of The Elder Scrolls’ many games, but players remain free to explore and bask in the richness of Bethesda’s open-world settings....

Red Dead Redemption 2’s huge game world is full of secrets for players to find. Players have found references to real-life murder cases, famous works of fiction, and Rockstar’s other franchises throughout the game’s fictionalized America. Some of those secrets were never quite realized as they were originally planned, however. Now, one Red Dead Redemption 2 content creator has done a deep dive into the files to find out which secrets were deleted or partially put into the game’s final retail release....
